Center Console Key


Recommended Posts

Posted

I bought my truck used several years back and have never had a center console key, where would I get a replacement?

 

1999 GMC Sierra 1500 new body style, ext. cab

When I bought my 02 used, I tried a local locksmith and they were totally useless. I showed up to the local dealer they read the vin and were able to order a set of keys which arrived in a matter of days. Much easier than replacing the whole console as the locksmith suggested would be neccessary.

Go to the dealer...they order them from a company called Hurd. They make the cylinders and the keys for GM. All the cylinders are coded with a number that you can see on the lock, where you insert the key it is usually 3 digits. There is a TSB on this subject, so the dealer should know what to do...but they will need the code off the lock. Hurd unfortunately will not deal directly with the consumer, and it costs about $35 for 2 keys. I need one as well...but thats a little steep!!

Thanks Black-Z71, this was the info I was looking for, that is TOO steep, do you know if you can just replace the barrel with a new one or where to order a new barrel?

You can order a new cylinder with 2 coded keys thru your dealer from the same company, and it'll cost you a little less. But, the cylinders are sonically welded to the plastic, so there is no easy/cheap way to replace the entire cylinder. I don't think it is held in with a bolt, I just haven't tried it myself. I'd like a key for my console, but I just can't justify paying that much for it...

Might want to take a look at this thread from some time back. I was in the same predicament with an 01 I bought used. A dealer can get you the keys from Hurd Corp. Theres a TSB from Alldata: 01-08-49-017 OCT 01 Center Front Floor Console Lock & Key - Availability If you can give this to a dealer you can get the key for your truck. These's a code on the lock cylander they will need. Good luck.

I just give Hurd's 800 number to the customer and they can call and order as many as they want. I can get that number when I go into work tomorrow if you want it. You might be able to Google it.

Sorry, but you have to realize that most of the dealers in my area are as confused as a termite in a yo-yo. I thought if he had the TSB # it might help, because as I went through this a year or so ago no dealer had any info on it. Its nice, thanks to this board, when you know more about these trucks than the "experts" down at the dealership.

I hear that...I know the feeling of seeing a blank stare from a so-called "expert" you are asking a question. :chevy:

    • I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal. 
    • Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?
    • I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps. 
    • Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
