I have a 2015 1500 WT. It didn't come with keyless entry remotes, can I just buy a set off of Ebay and program myself?

Can you add a remote? IF you have power locks, YES you can add a remote. Why? Because you have tire pressure monitors on your truck.. They transmit their data to the Remote Control Door Lock Receiver (RCDLR). Because that module is present, you can add a factory keyless entry remote. NOW...can you program them yourself? NO. HAS to be done by a dealer with GDS2. Can you add factory remote start? No.

Thanks 15HDriver, I am guessing the remote would probably have to be bought through the dealer? Or could I purchase one online and just have them program it? I'll call the dealership and see what they say.

AU3 ( Electric door lock ) means your truck didn't come with remote keyless entry from factory. Contrary to what's been said previously here you can still get OEM remote start but the kit is very expensive because it includes a hood switch with harness, key FOBs (2), a different RCDLR an AP3 sticker to apply over your AU3 and an activation code, all this has to be done at the dealer or a certified GM shop. They will sync the new RCDLR to your BCM and with the activation will be able to download the proper menus to your BCM to enable these options.

Some different RPO codes for these new trucks. AP3 and AP8 is a 2007-2013 deal. On K2 trucks, if you have AQQ, you can add remote start. AU3 power locks are standard on all K2 trucks. Just to clarify, when I say K2, its 2014+up. You don't need a new RCDLR on K2 trucks. The OP has a 2015. If its got power locks, you can go right into the BCM and add key fobs. I have personally done this on a 2015 1500 WT. The customer was curious if it could be added, but he ended up not doing it because he didn't feel like spending the $$$ for two key fobs and $30 for programming. I took a brand new one off the shelf, went in via GM's GDS2 diagnostics and was able to add them to the truck no problem.

I stand corrected then. Thank You! Now we all know. Did you need a GM activation code like before or the menus are all there?

On the K2 trucks, with GM GDS2 you go into the BCM and simply add fobs. If its a truck that has factory keyless but no remote start, its a hood latch, two fobs and an auth. code that has to be phoned in to GM to change the programming for the truck. Those come in the GM accessory remote start kit. GMT-900 were similar (AP8 to AP3 factory remote start upgrade but those were just key fobs, no hood latch).

So in my 2018 Custom with AU3 code, all I would need is keyfobs and a reprogram from the dealer? I asked the dealership to add keyless entry and they charged me $275 and install a crap aftermarket one.

Newdude - do you know if this is the same on the Express Vans?  I have a 2014 with no key fobs, but with On-Star, Cargo, Duramax if it makes a difference.  AU3 RPO code.  Dealer tried 3 times to order key fobs, 3 button, 4 button (cargo door separate) & 5 button (remote start) and could not get any to pair with the RCDLR /TPMS receiver.  I ran this information and VIN past Dorman when I tried one of their programming modules & fob and they ran the VIN said I am missing the key fob receiver.  But I have TPMS and the receiver is the same part number.   SO..... Do I need a different RCDLR receiver (part number 20863945) and have the BCM reprogrammed to use this new key fob / TPMS receiver?  My dealer doesn't seem to understand this stuff.  They also said just buy an aftermarket remote / alarm.

Aaagh, I forgot to include that.  It's a Express 2500 Extended, Cargo, with the 6.6L Duramax turbo, GVWR of 8,600 lbs. A bit of a rare bird.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
