Have you taken it in for service? Maybe the tech that worked on your vehicle had something on his hands that soaked into the rubber. It looks like it is eating the rubber away.

I lift very few heavy things,, retired,,, so I lift a beer now and then and maybe a fishing pole. It is mainly just the buttons that are sinking in. Not sure I have seen a case for a fob and hate hav

It has been in for service, but no idea if it was done there,, I will just get the other one out and use it, if I can't find a cheap one on e bay and swap out the cards.

It looks like you may be using your finger nail instead of the pad or your finger to press the buttons. This will wear out the rubber much faster. But that thing looks 20 yrs old.

Damn Scott, I hope you didn't look that bad at 20 years old! :throwup:

Damn thats messed up. My key still looks brand new, it's about 1 year old.

 

Like others have said either it was a bad batch of rubber or something got on it to cause the rubber to break down.

Actually I think we're all being had! I don't believe this could happen during normal use.

sorry if you felt offended but....it certainly looks as if someone abused it and if not you then who? if someone handed my truck key fob back and it looked like that I think I'd notice it immediatly which led me to my original response.

 

bottom line, go buy you a new one as the condition of yours is without a doubt an exception to what would be considered normal "wear".

Anybody found a manufacturer of silicone or plastic key fob covers yet?

Sort of like looking for a container to store an acid that eats through everything.

I searched and searched and couldn't find one for these fobs yet.

 

Got sick of the fob smacking on the steering column so just using the fuzzy side of velcro for now.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
