Do you have a "slim jim" or know some one who does? Don't trust some towing company guy, you could mess up your auto locks. you can make one w/ a piece of sheet metal in about 10 min

Your dealer may be able to make you a key if you give him your VIN number...

That's right, take your VIN number, proof of ownership and some ID and the dealer can make you a key. Its cheaper than a locksmith, plus you get an extra key.

I have seen our local police officers help people get in there cars with a slim jim. But it's usually at the grocery store or some other public place.

AAA is an option. They do lockouts if you're a member. Some pd's do them, but I know we won't do them unless the car is running or there is a child inside. I happen to have a lockout kit I got when I was doing some volunteer work. It's amazing the way they design all the stuff in various configurations to work on specific types of locks.

How could he mess up the power locks? They are built into the door latch on a 2000.

Yea I've done that VIN thing. All you have to have is the title and ID. If your like me and you got an OBS then its a mere $7. If you need that chip, look to drop about $20.

trucks don't have chips in the key, no matter what body style. The PASSLOCK II system 98-up uses a lock cylinder with a specific resistance instead of a resistor on the key like PASSLOCK did.

Did Chevy quit giving the Valet key with the trucks? I got one with my 98 & keep it in my wallet.

Usually doesn't make it past the first owner. On the 95-up trucks if you get a key made without the rubber on the top it is small enough to slip into one of the pockets in your wallet and never know it is there.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
