2016 Silverado LT

 

I bought an external keypad to unlock my doors.  I took it to the dealer to get it programmed, and they quoted me three+ hours of labor at over $300.  Anyone got a better idea how to get this thing programmed?  I don't mind shipping it to a better dealer or someone with the equipment.

I thought about putting mine there, but if I remember correctly it wouldn't sit flat with enough room for the door to shut. I'd try a different dealer. 3 hrs is BS. Mine didn't even charge me. I talked to the service manager and he said they would do it since I bought the truck from them. It literally took them 10 mins. They had to make 1 phone call to get it the serial # on the keypad authorized. Then they plugged into the obd2 port and programmed it in.

Order from GM accessories pick dealer install 36.00 to install. Why they would quote you 300.00 is unreal

That is precisely the device.  Do any of you have your receipt from getting this done at your dealer?  I know the guy who owns this dealership, and I think that would help get him or his manager to act right.

 

Or, if any of you know the technical description, that would help.

 

Shoot, if you just tell me the dealer who treated you correctly, I'll call directly.

when you checkout shows dealer install options click install

it will calculate 36.00 for install plus tax and the total. Take a screen shot and show him or pick another dealer

How is this holding up in this spot?
Hasn't moved. Works exactly the same as the day I put it on. I was worried about the the sun beating down on it, but it hasn't caused any issues. I think it's been on there since September of 2016.

It’s good to see longevity out of mod parts. Especially GM “backed” ones. Seeing the $300 quote made me cuss. Some dealerships just flabbergast me with their greed and shortsightedness.

I live in PA and I am hesitant to put it there as sometimes we get a build up of snow in that area.

 

Anyone put it on the gas filler door?.  My only concern there are the fumes ..

 

I had myY programmed yesterday at the dealer.  I was in for other service and I asked them not to mount the keypad.. so they just put the box I programmed in my console. Of course it didn’t work.  They said they didn’t know I needed it programmed.   They said it should only take a few minutes, but they have never done it..  I said I wouldn’t wait good thing because 4 hours later it was done.  They were having issues getting the email back..

Will this work on a 2016 truck?

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By TheGeek · Posted

      From what I gather, you have a 2.7 Diesel  You cannot use Chevron gas in it.  Howes has a diesel add-in and it states it cleans injectors.  Me personally, wouldn't bother with it.  If it's not broke, don't fix it.     Just my two cents worth.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Looking up on the web you can the information that would seem obvious. You asked engine components to do more. You get more wear. The answer is they can last just as long but required more maintenance. Apparently having to change lifters, cam and associated components are maintenance or repairs. In some research the normal life span of valve train components are 80-100 miles with 3-5K miles oil change. So the next logical conclusion would be cost per mile. I use that analogy with my wife all the time with vehicles. My Odyssey is approaching 170K. The cost per mile will go up at 200K with maintenance. Looking at a low cost car. A K-4 with a 10-10 warranty. Selling my Ridgeline that’s about to hit the same maintenance milestone. My argument becomes not only I get worry free driving. But at no cost increases. Because I take the money from my Ridgeline and maintenance savings and other potential savings. I’m driving for free. So tying it with a bow. It makes you wonder. Is this a grand conspiracy by the auto makers? Raise the potential maintenance high enough. Buyers by extended warranty to 100K miles. Do the minimum maintenance required. Trade in at the warranty end. How long should they last? That question is what keeps people up at night. The answer is much more complicated than it used to be.

      Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.

      Gas Prices

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Since the media YOU and your buddies are programmed to watch failed to mention this, I'll fill you in.   Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict.   Main reason he admitted this is to let even guys on our own side who joined leftists in complaining about the prices that he hears us all, and has taken steps to make sure this didn't spiral into a BAD situation ... just like the mainstream media has been PRAYING would happen, just so they could gloat. Amazes me how these people are rooting for the destruction of THEIR OWN HOME, just to make a President they don't agree with or like look bad! That's next level TDS!   I know your not capable of giving our President the benefit of the doubt, again due to your deep programming, but THIS is why oil never hit $150 a barrel as predicted by your programmers, AND the reason oil continues falling. Like I said before, Trump's got a plan, and this is proof of it. By the end of his term, we're going to be in GREAT shape for a change!   Since I just spent $3,000 this week on #2 heating oil and gasoline, the war most certainly is ending! 🤣   https://mxmnews.com/article/ba359ac9-2711-4851-92de-187f2400f2dd?breaking-trump-cancels-iran-strikes-deal-now-approved-by-all-parties
