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.

The K2 trucks require the dealer to program the keys.

 

The remotes can be programmed by following a process in the owners manual.

I talked to the guys at my local hardware store and they were telling me that the machine that is used for the the K2 keys is very expensive and it will be a long time if they decide to buy a machine specifically to cut that style of key.

I'm glad they don't use the same kind of key that is used in the Equinox... Push a button and it flips out like a switchblade knife. :nonod:

Remotes require dealer programming.

 

Keys can be programmed by owner.

 

Follow these procedures to program up to eight keys to the vehicle.

Programming with a Recognized Key

To program a new key:

 1. Insert the original, already programmed key in the ignition and turn the key to the ON/RUN position.
 2. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF, and remove the key.
 3. Insert the new key to be programmed and turn it to the ON/RUN position within five seconds.
The security light will turn off once the key has been programmed.

 4. Repeat Steps 1–3 if additional keys are to be programmed.
If a key is lost or damaged, see your dealer to have a new key made.

Programming without a Recognized Key

Program a new key to the vehicle when a recognized key is not available. Canadian regulations require that owners see their dealer.

If there are no currently recognized keys available, follow this procedure to program the first key.

This procedure will take approximately 30 minutes to complete for the first key. The vehicle must be off and all of the keys you wish to program must be with you.

 1. Insert the new vehicle key into the ignition.
 2. Turn to ON/RUN. The security light will come on.
 3. Wait 10 minutes until the security light turns off.
 4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF.
 5. Repeat Steps 2–4 two more times. After the third time, turn to ON/RUN; the key is learned and all previously known keys will no longer work with the vehicle.
Remaining keys can be learned by following the procedure in “Programming with a Recognized Key.”

The key has a bar-coded key tag that the dealer or qualified locksmith can use to make new keys. Store this information in a safe place, not in the vehicle

I have 3 keys for my 14, and if I remember correctly I did program it myself. I had to use the 2 original keys in the process and it did not take long...

Ditto... no dealer needed, using the first procedure above with the one existing key I had took about 10 seconds

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      There are no stickers in your glovebox?

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
