Anyone know where I can find an OEM (or high quality) replacement shell for our key fob? I've got the fob with remote start, lock/unlock, and alarm - it also has the chrome metal sides. I don't need the internals, just looking to replace the worn rubber piece for the buttons. All the ebay and Amazon options get bad reviews for the buttons wearing off quickly. The only OEM options I can find are brand new fobs with internals so the price is way more than what I want to pay just to have visible buttons again. My dealership says they can only order the entire new fob, no separate parts. Any leads are appreciated, thanks!

I ordered one from amazon. It has lasted for a while but definitely has signs of wear and is time to replace again[emoji2363]

Very cool! Looks like high quality stuff that might not ever have to be replaced. Would also fit right in with my shooting bag/equipment.

Yeah, I've been on the fence about getting one for  a while.  Probably going to pull the trigger now!  This link is better than the other I posted as it has all the colors.

I second this. I just got mine last week and it is pretty slick. Many customization options to fit your style. It is super high quality and I feel like it can take some abuse for quite some time over the cheap plastic OEM key fob. Also probably cheaper than OEM but I have not looked for OEM replacement.

What color combo did you go with?  Pics?

Glad you like it. The only OEM shells I can find are used and none of the buttons are in perfect shape. Plus they want $25-50 for them, at that price point I might as well go with this AJT fob. New OEM fob is $132 from my dealer, not happening just for new rubber buttons.

Black with red bolts to match my Redline theme. I thought about doing red buttons but figured it would be too much red based on some google pics I found. I wish there was an option to at least choose a red panic button without having to buy the extra button set, I really only wanted the 1 button. Maybe I will email AJT and suggest that as an option to include a red panic button.

Nice!  The only thing preventing me from ordering is I can't pick a scheme lol.  Anyway you can order an extra set of buttons in red..I think.

Exactly. The used ones probably have the same problem as mine - the backing of the buttons cracked and split so it was going around the buttons on the circuit board and not always getting a good press. Unlock and Start were my problem buttons so of course, can never unlock the truck or get remote start to work reliably on the first press. Haha.

You can but it's a full set of buttons for the fob. I just want 1 button but at least it's only like $4 so if I really want to I'll just bite the $4.....I'm happy for now.

I just sent them an email asking about the red panic button

 

 

Update:  They won't do it.

    • Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.
    • Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.
    • Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.
    • Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
