Nope, they’re made and shipped from China. Never trust these sales types, junk and toxic materials!

I’ve had mine 2 years with no problems and my fobs still look new. But I would not suggest eating them. By the way if you have an iPhone and are worried about products made in China you may want to ditch the iPhone too.

Nope, Apple has stringent quality control, you’re buying from a BS supplier from China. Give you an idea of why I brought it up, the US has quality control on factory ship products coming from China being sold in US stores, individual purchases are not inspected. China has in our history, as of today, the highest toxic products in production as well as being extremely anti American.

Yeah, but you're buying from Amazon, if the product doesn't work or is just junk, all you have to do is tell Amazon online and you will get a full refund and you don't have to send the item back. 

 

But I hear you on high quality Chinesium goods, I ordered some Chinese clear protective film once, came wrinkled, yellowed and had some 6 year old Chinese kid's hair stuck in the roll. I just about puked and threw it away. But amazon gave me my $20 back.

I stopped buying from Amazon a long time ago, constantly receiving made in China and other foreign sweat shop garbage. Last year I ordered some birthday bag stuffers and when they came in the had a horrible toxic smell. Amazon doesn’t give a crap about you or me, they’re only in it to make profits from anything or anywhere they can. Like Trump, I’m done with Amazon, they’ve hit the bottom with quality.

Why are you still using a recalled key? The new ones only have a small hole in them.

I want to know more about this recalled key. I don’t think I ever received a recall notice about my keys

Thats like saying i stopped going to the grocery store because some of the items in there are crap!!

 

Amazon doesnt make and sell everything, they are just a store that sell things from a lot of other stores. Most of the time you can see which seller is selling the item. 

Sadly, in this dan and age you are going to have a tough time finding non chineese made items and crap.

Yep, I agree. Amazon is just a retailer. Not buying things on Amazon is like not buying things from Walmart. The only one that loses is you. You need to save money more then they need your business. 

 

From Google: 

 

Today Amazon sells over 480 million products in the USA. Amazon's product selection has expanded by 235 million in the past 16 months. That an extraordinary average of 485 thousand new products per day. As of the first quarter of 2016, the e-retailer reported more than 310 million active customer accounts worldwide.

I believe it was a TSB but I thought that was for the earlier trucks in the 2014 year model. I know my keys are affected but as I don't keep my steering wheel in the highest position possible, I am not concerned enough to get two new keys made. From what I remember, if the steering wheel was in the highest tilt position, when moving the shifter from park to a gear it could come in contact with the key therefor turning off the truck. I love how the thread got derailed about what is and isn't appropriate to buy that is from China though. For the record, I refused to shop at Walmart for whomever cares.

Apparently the Yukon/Suburban was also affect. I was attempting to find the TSB number but figured this would be good enough. I can post a picture of my key if needed but it looks like the one in the link.

 

Also to the original topic, I keep my ignition key separate from my fob and other keys as it prevents the tapping noise and allows me to keep the engine running if I have to unlock my retrax. Another advantage is that I can keep the engine running but lock the doors if I want to run inside a convenience store for a coke or snack by using the fob. I wonder if there is a way to install the remote locking mechanism for the tailgate that's on the newer GM trucks

If my key EVER rattles/makes noise  or even pokes me in the leg when in my pocket, I will unleash the wrath on that son of a gun. No one should ever have to take such abuse a the hands of GM. I am pretty sure they have constant/secret/behind closed doors/corporate meetings trying to figure out ways to mess with truck owners.

I used some black mouse pad material , carefully cut with rounded corners, attached with silicone adhesive, no more noise and hardly noticeable.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
