Hi

I have 2021 silverado 1500 wt with crew cab and bench seats. Trying to locate transmitter pocket. Manual said it should be  at the back of the storage compartment under the center seat. But I don't have compartment under seat. I have only armrest storage compartment. Please, help me to find out pocket. Thanks.

WT trucks don't have push button ignition, they still use a mechanical key.  WT and Customs don't have a transmitter pocket and won't as there is no need for it.  

 

Only LT, LTZ and High Country will have one because they have push button keyless ignition.

Okay. How then I can learn new key fob for my truck?

 

 

Did the truck come with a remote to begin with?

 

The dealer is pretty much the only way.  There is no way for you to do it unless you have a full blown diagnostic scan tool or a GM MDI2 and access to GDS2.  

 

If it didn't come with a remote from the factory, it might not be able to have one added to it.

I know I’m very late, but all of these guys responding are mistaken. Your Transmitter pocket is under the middle seat. You raise the center console/back of middle seat, then raise the bottom cushion of the seat with the latch at the front of it then you Transmitter pocket is in there.

Most low trims DO NOT HAVE the lower storage compartment, only the upper arm rest opens. My 21 Custom doesn't have bottom storage. It was shown in the picture above and the OP as well as myself do not have that.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
