Seems like a defective remote _or_ you had a chemical on your hand that doesn't play nicely with the rubber fob.

The original question was looking for a cover for the fob. What's the remote?

Same thing...some call them fobs while others call them remotes. Owners Manual calls the system, Remote Keyless Entree (RKE) System and the "Fob" is referred to as the RKE Transmitter.

 

Remote Keyless Entree alows unlocking the vehicle without a key by using a transmitter.

 

OK, so how many folks actually call them "RKE Transmitter"? Try searching for that on eBay or just make it easier and call it a "Fob". Amazing...GM...:)

Thanks - I misunderstood the post above (from thefishhawk) and thought he was talking about two different things. Duh :crazy:

They are made out of cheap plastic . I would like it better if the 2 pieces were held together by a small screw instead of prying them apart with a coin to change the battery . Which always seems to damage the plastic. IMO

OP, these are the types of things, engineers, dealers and tech's don't talk about, sunscreen, hand moisturizer, make-up products, and your own hand oils (aka your alkalinity level). If its not the first 3 items, then my next guess is you may have high acidic levels in your body, you will need control your level mostly for health reasons. also high alkaline level/s can damage items as like chrome and mirrors.

Jesus OP, my 20 year old BMW fob doesn't look 10% that bad.

 

Edit: Wow this thread is old.

Very old post, but while were on it. The bug spray OFF destroys leather, rubber, plastic. Ruined my leather duty gear and my watch.

Ya I haven't seen one that wore out that bad so soon. I actually hang my keys off of a belt loop and then tuck them into my pocket so they're technically in my pocket while still being able to use it like keeping my knife in there. I keep my phone in my left pocket. I almost want to say you're is one of those times where you just got a bad one or something.But mine is also a different fob. Mine is the ordinary one without the "chrome" trim on it. Mine's just all black and no logo on the back. It's an LT with remote start and All-Star so it's not a WT or LS and it's a well optioned LT. I'm not sure why I got the all black fobs but I'm ok with it, not going to be picky about the fob lol.

My main key fob to my old 2014 looked similar it actually looked like a layer of the rubber was coming off, no abuse was ever given to it like grinding it on pavement or throwing it, just normal lock and unlock and remote starts and then back into my pocket for the day or night, never washed or anything, I also do not use my finger nails either, I keep them trimmed pretty close. Just slowly wore off.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
