Every truck I’ve owned makes a racket if you enter without the key. I couldn’t find my keys one day for my 02 avalanche. It’s easy to get in without the keys. When I opened the door the factory alarm

been researching this also, was looking for fuel pump relay. Guess has module instead. Got all freaked out when co workers ltz was stolen in Dallas area. Didn't realize how easy these are to steal. On

I have not yet purchased the GoDark Vault for my key fob, but I'm seriously considering it.  I went to their website and looked at the inner dimensions of both the large and small key fob vaults.  It looks like the small one will work for the key fob that came with my 2021 Sierra 1500 AT4.  If they have changed the shape and/or dimensions of the key fobs for the later model trucks since then, I couldn't tell ya.

My friend just had a system put in his jeep that disables the push button start.

 

Apparently, without the push button start working, the latest methods to steal cars don't work.

 

I'll be putting in my 23 Sierra (whenever it shows up) and will post about it.


Did you get one? Does it work? Do you have a link? Thanks.

It wasn't compatible with GM's.

 

Plus, my insurance paid for Tag (https://www.tagtracking.ca/en) and didn't offer an additional discount for a kill switch.

 

Considering that I'm in Montreal, the car theft capital of Canada, and that's all the insurance wants. So be it.

Bummer, but glad it worked out for you. I’m still searching for a kill switch that won’t eliminate the use of my factory remote start. But I don’t want a $1000 alarm system that does a lot of stuff I have never wanted. Just simple. One thing. Kill switch that still lets me use my remote start. The hunt continues. Have a splendid weekend.

My insurance agent told me that all her claims were for Ford, Dodge and Jeep. My son is a police officer, and mentioned it's always new Ford pickups getting stolen, then Honda CRV because they are easy to steal! . I'm in an area close to shipyards, where thieves take the vehicles right to containers. All going to Italy, then Africa. New GM trucks are not on the hot list of stolen vehicles. ON STAR definitely makes it risky.

Have heard ON Star module is first thing removed by theives...

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      By wxman13 · Posted

      Just wanted to get a idea of how many of you still have problems with your radio cutting out during the first few minutes of driving, my 2024 GMC Sierra still does this after a little over 2 years of complaining to my dealer about it, and OTA updates no longer complete, the check for updates in settings is greyed out for the second time while trying to install a update, my dealer took about a week to play around with it the first time this happened, and somehow got the check for updates to work, even though it would always show system is up to date when I knew it wasn't, now again 1 month later its greyed out again when the OTA update N25-F163BU tried to install, which ironically is the update to help with reliability of future updates.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      I finally got it to start. It was a mix of a few issues. The frame ground was in bad shape so I ran a new one and cleaned up the area to get a good connection then covered it in rust reformer then bed liner to keep it as clean as possible. The other ground I found that looked suspect was on the frame toward the back of the truck near the bed. I did the same. After pulling the fuse box out from the engine bay I found a couple of wires that looked like at some point mice may have got ahold of it. That was an easy fix. After that i was able to get control power and was able to trace down a few more connections going to the other fuse panels in the cab. After that it finally started up and runs. It sounds like an angry school bus which I can work with. No OBD2 codes, but I think since its set for a long time I should pull the turbo and get it rebuilt or swapped out, but for now im good to go. Thanks for all the advice. It got me on the right track.
