Hey guys,just got my first truck yesterday, a 2014 GMC Sierra, V8, Crew Cab, 6 foot 6 box, coming from a small 2 door kia forte koup, im very impressed, beautiful truck, don't think i can ever go back to a car again lol.

anyways my question is this, my truck didn't come with a remote entry or even power mirrors (its 2014 wtf, lol) so im stuck using the key, not a big deal but a simple luxury i would like to have, the dealer said i may be able to get a aftermarket one, so i did some research and im not sure how easy it is, some trucks may not be able to get them because of the computers inside the truck, not 100% on this, so anyway i was hoping someone could shed some light on this for me and help me out, if i could get a remote starter/keyless entry 2 in 1 i would prefer that, if you need specific info about my truck just ask, like i said i think its just a base model, they were calling it a "work truck model" not sure what thats all about, but on the registration it says 2014 gmc sierra 1500, nothing after indicating a trim level so i assume its the base model.

If you have power locks, any good tint or audio shop can add remote start and remote entry. Expect 500.00 or so.

Thanks, i ended up calling my dealer again and the parts guy told me he put in a special order for a remote start/keyless entry, going to cost about 230 plus tax and installation.

There is nothing wrong with the work truck model. I have had the Silverado version before. You got what counts the most. V8. Its all good from there. Don't let these "RICH" guys and their ,ahem... leather and pothole searching 22s make you jealous. I would trade you my dual climate zone hvac controls for your Red=warm, blue =cool any day of the week. I swear my air conditioner is possessed. :thumbs: Now where are the pics?

Thanks ! I love the truck and wouldn't trade it for anything right now, its exactly what I need, all the fancy features i couldn't care less for tbh, i wouldn't use half of them anyway, i don't have a pic yet but later when i go for a drive ill take a nice one for my profile pic, im actually having some trouble getting the hood up -_- i feel the latch but i cant budge it i think it may be jammed

The latch inside under dash or outside? just drive by any dealer before they close. They can assist.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, they can remotely disable the device. B) Make sure it's paid off. If they still owe money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
