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.  

 

Express van is a lot electronically like the 2007-2014 Silverado.  GM has no remote start upgrade for Express/Savana.  Your GVWR would mean it has tire pressure monitors though (or should).  In that instance, it should have the RCDLR already in the van.  The number for the RCDLR you provided above p/n20863945 is the same with or without keyless entry RPO code ATG.  So in theory, it "should" have the capability to add just plain keyless entry.  It may be a programming issue however.  GM might have the ability to give the truck a reprogram to activate that portion of the module.  It would run you probably $50-100 on top of whatever the dealer charges for computer programming. 

 

At that point, an aftermarket one would probably run close to the same $$$ and give you not only power lock/unlock but remote start as well.

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).

Hi I have some question about this

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.

So, if my work truck silverado 2014 has AU3, I can use those Doorman with programmer to obd2 included to add keyless entry?

And what about the 2019 versions and up?

They have power locks too and tpms. They can program a keyless entry without adding any hardware to the pickup?

    • So, my 2021 only gets radio updates, right? If that's the case, my radio is doing just fine and probably better off without any updates, especially considering the problems I've been reading about after updates were performed. 
    • Hey guys, sorry for the confusison about this. This wasn't my experainnce, it was copied and pasted fom the net. 
    • The problem with failure rates or increase failures are there’s people who don’t have a problem. What are you doing wrong they say. We had 4 5.7 GM diesel’s in the family when they came out. One was flawless. My uncle who happened to be the most abusive. Early rotary engines were known to use oil. I abused my first car so bad in six months I replaced the clutch, transmission and rear end. It didn’t use oil. My brother in law has a 2013 Tahoe and an older Yukon. The Yukon has 280K miles. The Tahoe around 175K. He runs them to about 300K. If his lifters fail before that time he would consider it a failure. My Hondas, I know people hate it when I mention them. Identical engines. One with cylinder deactivation one doesn’t have it. One shudders when the eco light goes on or off. Cylinder deactivation. But wait! According to the web. It can happen with lock up too. So now people in the know are changing the oil and transmission fluid more often. Then you read it could be a programing issue. So what do you do? There’s lots of money involved. I see three ways to deal with it. One only works if you don’t drive lots of miles. Lease, never get out of warranty. Or only buy older vehicles with a good track record. They all have bad runs. Usually when there’s a change. Even Toyota and Honda. 
    • Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/        
    • UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update
