Hi,

  So I have a 2015 Silverado 1500. Recently had a key fob get lost and have a replacement but need to program it. I can't seem to get into programming it with my Modis Edge scan tool and really don't feel like dealing with the dealer just to redo the fobs. Has anyone come up with a way to program these fobs without going to the dealer? I know my Modis could do the fobs on my friends 17 so wasn't sure why I can't get to it on mine.

Thank you

 

Edit to add:  I have seen Dorman sells something that plugs into the OBD port and comes with a fob but haven't been able to find the tool separately.

I've programmed a new fob through the Autosync device, found here:
(it ain't cheap - plus they're back ordered, currently. If all you'll ever need is a key fob programmed, just go to the dealer)

I looked at that when I did the android auto upgrade and cluster from WAMS. Looks like some really neat features but nothing I need for that price. Especially just to do a fob.  Thanks for your response.  I'm hoping it's something simple I can jump a couple pins in the OBD port to activate or something similar.

I'm not sure if that's doable.
I think you'll need to unlock the BCM to get it done  - as the dealer would do or the Autosync would.
And that is where the Autosync becomes extra money - ya gotta pay extra to unlock the BCM and HMI.
Same as the FlashPaq F5 for the ECU.
In my experience, it's all been worth it.
But, then, I like to play around with modding things to make my truck a little different than others.
Most won't notice except me.
You're best off visiting a dealer for a FOB program if you're not interested in the ability to further mod your truck with the aforementioned devices..

I somehow lost my key and key fob for my 2014. I had a spare key however. I bought a blank key online and new fob and took them to a locksmith. He cut me a new key and programmed the key and fob to my truck. I think I had about $75.00 in the locksmith and the cost of the blank key which wasn't much. Hope this helps someone. Dealers are expensive!

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal.

      Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
