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:

    • 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
