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 These fobs are outdated.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.

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
