I have an 08 silverado LS with the normal work truck trim level. No power or remote locks. Is the single key I have chipped to match something in the ignition or can Walmart or Lowes cut a duplicate key that will work?

 

Yes - its probably in my owners manual - but I'm not at the truck presently. Thanks for any input guys...

Your key does have a resistor chip inside,I don't know if Walmart or Lowes has them or not.

The GM part number is 15824471 with a list of $43.91,and you have to program it to the truck.

Well, the best bet would be to call the place that would be making the key, since they have to have the blank to make it and that may not be the same across the board. As long as they have the equipment and blanks they should be able to do it.

Geez - at $40 each I guess I ought to have negotiated 2 more keys into the price of the truck when I bought it... hopefully I'll find a better option or friendly dealer...

i dont know about the 08's, but my 2007 sierra classic with the work trim package came with only 1 key and i took it to the hardware store showed the guy and he cut me a key in all of 5 minutes and it costed me less than 3 bucks

 

edit: got some pics of the key i got. if it helps, the front says HY-KO on it and the back says B93 which the guy cutting it said was of some importance. and if it matters, it was an ACE hardware

Nope...'99-'07 "Classic" trucks have a different key from the '07-up "new-body style" trucks.

The '99-'07 GMT800 trucks did not have a resistor chip in them,'07-up GMT900 trucks do.

It's only $26.03 at gmpartsdirect.com although I'm not sure if a dealer has to program the key or if you can do it yourself.

 

A dealer does not have to program it,You can program it yourself.....

With a previously learned master key, turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.

Turn OFF the ignition and remove the key.

Within 10 seconds of turning OFF the ignition, insert the key to be learned and turn ON the ignition. The vehicle has now learned the new key.

I went to get a dupe made for my '02 Sierra today, that I assumed had a chip in it. I just needed one to unlock the door if I locked the keys in there. To my surprise it opened the door and started the truck. My truck has power everything but when I bought it used the dealer didn't have the keyless entry fob. "SECURITY" blinks on the message center, but since I don't have the keyless fob, am I ever setting the security at all? And there was never a chip in the original key to begin with?

a duplicate will work from walmart only on the doors. you need the key with the resisitor chip to for it to work with the ignition

So where is this "resistor chip" on my '08 Silverado key?? :thumbs: Is it actually inside the metal? This key is certainly nothing like my 87 and 02 Corvette keys; the resistor is clearly visible on those.

Yeah, it must be inside the metal, because it's not a visible little black nubbin on the key like it was back in the mid-90s.

 

Glad to see everyone on this forum is honest. The guys in the old Impala SS club used to call GM roadside assistance, say they'd locked themselves out, and the General would have the local dealer cut a key and bring it to them for free. :lol:

If you use the power door lock switch itself,and not the lock knob to lock the truck,then you are setting the security system.

No,Your key is not a resistor/"chipped" key.

      What a wonderful result! Great story telling to. You are quite multifaceted sir.  I'd keep it. Four is my limit too and yet we have five as well. One assigned the 'salt car' to do all those tasks you hate to ask of your 'Save for Good" crowd. 😉    Don't forget the antifreeze.    The Iron 4.3 is a favorite of mine.

      Ancillary parts to the lower intake and connections went together without issue.   There was a brief pause when I leak-tested the fuel lines and injection system. Fuel was spraying all over. Lovely. O-rings weren't sealing the fuel lines to the spider, and inbound line was leaking at schrader valve, leaks at both flange nuts. It's moments like those when you just want to set fire to the whole shop, and be done with it. I was mostly enjoying the project up until that point, and was tracking to an agenda of having a running Blazer and a cold beverage in hand by dinnertime.    I found some larger Viton o-rings for my spider and some grease to get them to seat. One leak solved. Swapped fuel line Schrader core for old core. Still leaked. Swapped entire valve for old valve. Leak solved. Nudged the flange nuts a little tighter on the connections. Another leak solved. I could cycle the key / prime the pump and the intake was staying dry.    Reassembled the upper intake, with 10,000 vacuum lines, and filled the cooling system with water* (this is temporary, I'm not done with the cooling system yet).   Showtime!!   Cranked it over and smoke billowed, it was running rough. CEL illuminated and began flashing. P0300 and I somehow tripped a code for the TPS sensor, voltage low.    There's nothing as unrewarding as a vehicle that won't run (and produces the same code/problem) after hours of research and work.   Clearly I was in over my head. Was the timing off, did I stab the distributor incorrectly? Is the new distributor bad? With my limited OBD 1.5 data stream I really don't have a lot of parameters to see. The engine was pulling mad timing again (flooding?).   Think, Atlas, think.   1-6-5-4-3-2. One, six, five.....four, three, ....two. Wait a second. That makes no sense. 1 is the forward cylinder on the driver's side, so 2 should be the forward cylinder on the passenger side, not 6.    I can't believe it, but I'm looking right at it. Swapped 2 and 6 on the distributor and turned the key over, and...   It fired, coughed and stumbled, smoked, and then settled into a smooth idle. The scanner showed no codes, no lights on the dash, and the throttle was nice and responsive to gentle revs while it warmed up.   It's working!!! IT'S WORKING!!!   I paused for a late dinner, no cold beverage yet. I was determined to do my shakedown run. Did a basic safety and fluids check one more time and then went out and put almost 70 miles on it last night. She's a runner, runs good.   Came home and did a post-trip, post-mortem. The underside is dry *except* for where the last owner RTV'd the snow out of the intersection of the timing cover and oil pan. He said he had replaced the timing cover seal, but, my dude had clearly done it incorrectly and then tried to hold back fate with black RTV. Never works.   Yesterday morning I replaced the broken driver's door mirror. As much as I hate cheap Chinese parts, thank goodness for cheap Chinese parts. I think an entire new power mirror assembly cost me like $30, and it works perfectly. Replacement tail lights (faded, and one was busted) ran me about $12/side. I have a door pin kit ready to go in because the driver's door sags just a little and I want to fix that because there's nothing sadder than a saggy door.   I don't know what's next for this rig. Half of me wants to take some nice photos (there's a park nearby with a HUGE American Flag that always seems to be catching wind) and throw it up on CL/Marketplace for a couple grand and see if it flies. The other half of me... I've got a sweet running S10 Blazer that's been keeping my mind off of whatever I'm going through right now, and it's bringing some joy, and is cheaper than therapy. Maybe I'll keep it around for a little while. However, this is my 5th vehicle, just for me. 4 is really my limit, but they are not junk, so need very little attention. I don't know...there's a point where it's just too much and I don't see owning this truck long term. But I solved its major problem, got it running, so I'm going to stick a feather in my cap for now.   Sometimes we just need to get our hands dirty and fix something in the physical world to gain some satisfaction.
