The expensive part of spare key will be getting it cut as it's not a traditional key. Looks like the programming will only take a couple seconds and no additional hardware

 

..FYI for those with 2017/18.. got a spare key cut locally and tried following the video to program it but it didn't work.. did some online searching and turns out GM added the requirement for 2 original keys to the above procedure.. followed the above method but with 2 keys first and it worked like a charm!?

A few questios: Does the Dorman fob come with a key ring on it? The pics don't show one, and I want to be able to attach my key to the fob. Not a big deal.

 

Also, can the programmer be bought separately? I don't think so. I'd like to have the nicer looking fob than the standard all black like the one I already have. And, I'm not going to buy the kit and not use the provided fob as this, also, is not a big deal.

.. no key ring

.. Dorman only sells programmer with kit (I'm sure it's from a tech support point of view)

.. extra/alternate fobs can be found cheap online

Thanks, the first two are what I figured, but I really appreciate the confirmation. I'm pretty sure I can find a ring. Odd thing is (to me), on Dorman's site, most of the fobs show a ring.

 

Well, maybe I am going to buy the upgraded fob and wind up with 3. We'll see.

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
