At least these newer ones look a whole lot better than previous model key fobs. My wife has a '12 Acadia and going from her key fob to mine makes me feel like I am driving a luxury car lol.

Nice write-up.

 

You should research programming key FOB. I programmed them for my Trailblazer, my daughter's Nissan, and a couple other cars.

 

You generally don't HAVE to use dealer to program those things. I haven't looked into it on this truck, but would think it isn't any different.

I'm still not understanding myself why GM hasn't gone keyless yet. These fobs are outdated. Dodge and Ford have had way better fobs than this crap for fove years now. Time to move to the new tech GM.

Someone asked me to repost the pictures. Not sure what happened to them, and I can't edit the original post, so here are the pics.

Not on the newer GMC's. I believe we can program keys bit not the RKE fob.

I just took the chrome edging/strips off one of my SLT remotes and put in on my dads basic remote. 10 second job, they snapped right on.

How do you get the chrome strips off of the old remote?

I have a 2015 Silverado 1500, my wife has a 2014 GMC Terrain. I was wondering if there was a way to change my key & fob to a flip out fob like her's? I like minimal, a key & fob are too much for my day to day.

How did you get the chrome edging off the remote? Please explain in detail, I’m having the hardest time.

Use a spark plug feeler gauge, just experiment until you find one stiff enough to fit and release the tabs. You may have to replace the fob case itself, because the chrome side piece tabs do break. I picked one up on Amazon for around 10 bucks, does not have the Chevy bow tie on it, but did come with the chrome side pieces.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
