That is my biggest complaint with my truck as of now. They give such a generic key fob and old fashion key. I love the flip key I have on my camaro, and Chevy will have to pry it from my hand if they want me to follow through with their BS excuse of a fix for a "recall"

I thought it was kinda weird and figured I'd see what everyone else has? attachicon.gif20161003_161300.jpg

 

I got the same exact key fobs 16 months ago with my 2015 LT Z71.

It is a generic fob for all the trucks.

I must have dropped my fob one too many times...I looked at it one day after I having my truck for about 6 months or so and the emblem was gone. I looked around here and there and never found it so I just painted the indention where it had been red. So if/when you drop your fob check to see if the emblem is still there!!!!!

My 17 was the 1st one that came through the dealership and the key fobs I got are just all black. They don't even have the chevy symbol on the back. I thought it was kinda weird and figured I'd see what everyone else has? On a side note the dealer said that the truck only showed up with 1 key and fob. They had to cut an extra key and get another fob programed. I assume this is how I ended up with all black generic fobs.attachicon.gif20161003_161300.jpg

16 LTZ Z71 here. Came with (2) of the chrome key fobs with Chevy symbol on the back.

 

I'd go back to the dealer and request what you deserve!

That sucks...looks to me like they just gave you the generic fobs since truck only came with one key? They probably figured they were better off just giving you a matching pair vs. one chrome trimmed and one black, hoping you would not know better. I would demand the nicer fobs.

My '15 SLE came with the generic key fobs and was thrilled when my salesman handed them over to me one year ago this Saturday! The chrome trim and logo is nice.

My '14 Sierra SLE just had the black fob. I added the chrome fob to my set because, while a very minor detail, it felt a little more appropriate for a $40k+ truck.

The cheap looking key and fob is real disappointing. You handle it every day. Especially when Ford will give you a switchblade key even on certain XL (base) trims. Though to be fair the rest aren't any better. Ram's key is ugly unless you get a keyless one and Tundra's key looks like it came from a 2002 Camry.

I second that! My buddy has a sweet Sr5 tundra, and when he asked me to grab his keys the other day I glossed right over them on the hooks, thinking they were for the Avalon in the front yard LOL

Same crap-o looking generic plastic keyfob came with my '16 Silverado LTZ71, but my '16 Malibu w/push button start came with a classy chrome trim keyfob with logo...even contains a hidden laser cut key for emergency entry in case the keyfob battery dies.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
