Does anyone know if a one piece fob and key all in one can be programmed to work for you trucks?

 

Like this one from a terrain?

I only carry one key around with me and that is my truck key, it would be nice to be able to have one like this so I don't have to listen to my key fob smacking my steering column over and over again.

Which would have to be cut and programmed

The issue with these are that the column shifter may hit the key on the way down. I think that's why GM is still using separate key/fob. I would prefer the single key/fob as well, preferably keyless start.

Bah, I wonder if someone will come out with some sort of key that works. I know a guy started making them for tacomas shortly before I sold mine.

I wonder if anyone has actually had one cut and tried it? Does it always hit the shifter, or only if you pull it completely toward you?

This.

 

The Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban get it, why don't we? I'd love to not have to take my keys out of my pocket to lock/unlock and start my truck.

This is me as well. And every time I hit a bump or hole in the road ( I live in louisiana, we have the worst roads on Earth) the smacking of the fob drives me up a wall! Every vehicle I've owned had a little rubber pad on the column to keep the noise down. But not GM......

I use to hold it in my little known bumpy areas and pulled it off the key at the mud parks, but broke down and stuck some felt on the column like another member posted. Annoyance is almost gone. The felt just isn't staying so I'll try again now that it's warm.

 

There isn't enough cleanse with the softer for this. I looked last night and it's because of how it's designed. They could have done it different and made it work.

The shift lever will actually hit the current key if the column is tilted up all the way. Just barely misses it in the other positions. GM has actually been replacing with shorter keys if you have this problem. That all-in-one key/fob combo would never work, unless they make one with a much shorter profile.

For the remote banging the column, I used a piece of the fuzzy side Velcro. Problem solved.

I similarly use a black piece of foam (3/4x2-3") that is sticky one side. Found at a local hardware store, by the rubber bumpers and such. The only time I hear the key fob when the truck is really rocking an it's hitting the shifter. I wish I could find it on the online store, it sticks really well, but removes without any markings on the column.

I wouldn't mind a nice piece of foam that looks factory when installed, I'm not sticking on a piece of fuzzy velcro though. Its bad enough I already had to hose clamp my seat to keep it in place.

only way to know would be to find someone with one and stick it in and see how it works. I doubt it as well due to the shifter and how much longer those fobs are, unless someone makes a redesigned shifter I cant see them working in our trucks.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Engine failure requires radiator replacement per GM if it contains an engine oil cooler.  They do NOT want them flushed.  Radiator replacement is also required for the 6.2 recall if the engine fails.   Here is the TSB the dealer is referring to - 22-NA-074 1..2    Its a slightly older version, but the current version of it covers all model years 2000-2026.  So if enough failure debris was present, it gets an oil cooler.  If that is part of the radiator, it gets a radiator.  Also, same for oil cooler lines.  Those get replaced.     Now something like a 2.7 Turbo which uses an oil to water heat exchanger for the oil cooler, the radiator would be left alone but the oil cooler would be replaced, as well as any lines.

      Doing the right thing, replacing both valves is the way to go. The valves with the ball leak far more often than the schrader. Never cared for them. The accumulator really should be replaced if the system has had no pressure in it and it was a keeper, but since you're looking to sell it, bet you can get by. Did you pull the orifice screen and see what was there?   Shame you can't get 134a. Hopefully the previous repairs included dye.   Some of the R4s I messed with developed leaks where the line sets connected or the front seal. Had one where the HPCO was leaking. Front seal would only leak under pressure. See any obvious oily spots?   I've got nitrogen I use to test pressure and to help dry the system prior to evacuation.   Keep up the good work

      Next time you're on a road trip to a state where you can still buy it stock up on 12oz cans, you might look into getting certified so you can buy it where you are as well. When they switched from R12 to R134a the test for certification was easy, they basically just wanted the $25

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!
