Hello Boys and Gurls, and Merry Christmas!

 

Since I already received my XMas present (obviously) I wanted to ask a question about spare Keys and Remotes:

 

How does one economically acquire spare factory keys and remotes? Is the Dealer the only source? I know they need to be programmed.

 

There is a website called Car and Truck Remotes that has the GMC remote, unprogrammed, for $59.95. But no Keys!

 

Ho, Boy. Anybody know how to get remotes AND keys on the cheap, able to be programmed at a reasonable cost by a local locksmith?

 

Thanks;

You just bought a $50k truck. I think a spare set of keys is worth any equivalently priced modification.

 

Remotes can be programmed yourself following the owners manual. Keys need the dealer to program them

Well, maybe I'm coming off as being a bit too thrifty. I just don't want to a GMC Dealership and die from sticker shock over a remote and a key.

 

What would I expect to pay for these, programmed, at the Dealer?

I ordered new chrome remotes off eBay from a reputable seller. Made sure they were program ready and brought them to my dealer and told them they just stopped working. So they wrote it up as a warranty job and programmed them for free

I can't find the link. But if you type in 2014 Silverado remote. They have a few of the all black ones for cheap and the chrome ones are about 10$ more still better than 95$ from the dealer and then 150 to program. Just order it and say it stopped working

Check this out... I went to the dealer here locally and just for a WT KEY $65. For the damn key I tell you!! I am taking the key to a friend that has a CNC milling machine that says he can copy it.

I ordered a couple extra keys and remotes online and had the keys cut locally and programmed them and the remote myself using instructions in the owner's manual.

I ordered a key for my 14 Silverado, that has that cut like it would take a vertical mill to make in the key. Mine was $70 cut from the dealer. Also this was in early spring of 14...

I just called the dealer today as i want a spare key only. I don't need a 3rd remote. They told me keys were 40 dollars each.

There is a company that makes rubber sleeves that the key fob slips into... I don't care for the rubber coating. If the key fob ends up in your pocket it attacks lint and fuzz balls.

There may be some ebay sellers that have the hard plastic sleeves that your use your insides of the remote you have and just switch out the inners.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
