I have a 15 Silverado LTZ z71 and a while ago someone tried to break into my truck. They destroyed my driver side lock and the key won’t work. So I have to change out my door lock and my ignition since I don’t want to carry two keys for the truck. I don’t have to change out my ignition but might as well get it out of the way. So my question is if I replace my ignition which replaces the key,, Are these ignition keys coded or have a chip in it? Or does the truck read off of the key fob?

the keys have a chip in them, and the chip "excites" the transponder in the ignition assembly. changing the ignition will possibly require BCM programming to the new ignition, to the new keys. it has been a while since ive messed with key programming in these trucks 4 years to be exact, so someone correct me if im wrong.

That sucks. Hopefully they make a lock that can be molded to my key. That would make thing a lot simpler.

sorry to break the bad news, but unless you have tds, and gds2, these vehicles are exceedingly hard to work on yourself, especially electronic modules/components.

What’s a tds and gds2?

acdelco tds is the public system you can sign up for to program modules yourself which costs money, gds2 is the diagnostics software specifically for GM vehicles which also cost money to use.

I could go to the dealership and hopefully it’s not to expensive

usually dealerships will charge $100 minimum labor rate. we have had customers get charged upwards of $400 just to remove and diagnose a bad HMI module.

I would try to see if you can get a lock to match your ignition key.  I cant see that not being an option.

Is it not covered by insurance? Depends on your deductible but I could easily see this running to $500 or more. You have the driver's door, ignition, tailgate and the spare tire lock.

 

I haven't used a key to unlock a car in years. They all have had remote lock/unlock. Except the wife's Wrangler but we never lock that anyway as it would be easy to just slice through the top if someone really wanted in.

That’s what I was thinking too. I’m pretty sure they have locks for me key. I was kinda worried the other day when my battery was dying! If my battery were to completely die then I wouldn’t be able to get in my truck. I would have to get a locksmith to jimmy it.

I’m pretty sure it’s but all those parts won’t add up to 500.

Man I think I should just get the door lock and key only. Might have to suck it up and carry two keys

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
