Does anyone know if GM offers a factory longer range key fob for 2019-2021 Silverado? I'm looking for longer range with the remote start vs getting an aftermarket system and I have to carry 2 key fobs

 

 

Thanks!

Downside is you need to subscribe to a subscription plan.

Not sure about the T1s. I had a 2018 Silverado and they made an extended range remote fob for that truck. The standard key fob is all black, the extended range fob had a chrome trim ring around the black key fob. I think it was kinda spendy but much cheaper than $35 a month for OnStar. Call your local Chevy Parts Dept.

Bingo.

I have no desire to pay $35/month for a subscription to start my truck. 

You get all the benefits of onstar also.

35 is peanuts for the piece of mind I get.

BTW,  a friend of mines mother was in a single car crash that sent her way down in a ravine. Bottom line is onstar saved her life.

It's your money.

GM has no such thing.

You can get an Onstar plan for just the app and it is much cheaper than the full line of services. Off the top of my head I think I pay around $10 a month and it is well worth it in my mind.

 

The trick is start a chat with an advisor on the Onstar page and just ask a bunch of question about the services. Say that you are on the fence about it and they will eventually get the price down.

I pay like 7.50 a month. I don't care about the OS stuff, so I told them I could get a viper plan for 6 (like my old car had) and they countered with this. It's worth it.

It is free with APP for 5 years!!!

It's my third GM in 12 years, never paid a cent. You do not have to pay anything...although they try to sell the hell out of On Star, the APP is free. GM sales people rarely ever mentioned the free APP. My 2022 Silverado is now unlimited car start.

Download the APP, push On star button and they set up pin code....and try to sell On star, wifi, yadda yadda.

I have met a few friends in the last 3 years that didn't know they had free Remote with phone. They locked keys in vehicle. I got them to download APP, then call GM. They got their car unlocked and were amazed they has it 3 years and didn't know about it!!

US and Canada the remote app function used to be free for a couple years, then they started charging for it.

 

$14.95/mo for the Remote Access Plan.  Won't work without it.  Hasn't been free since like 2016 or so.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
