WTH? Why in the hell are simple one-button remotes $40 freakin' bucks?

 

For the cost of a few remotes...I could just buy a whole new opener!

 

GRRRRRRR....There's got to be cheap universals out there or something. That's recockulous.

What kinda opener you got? I have two remotes (Genie, I beleive) that I have no use for. They were for the garage at my house in New Orleans. I didn't even realize till a few months after moving here that they were still in the car. I threw them in a drawer of my tool chest and they been there ever since.

I'd bet there are a bunch on Fleabay. Probably some used ones as well.. Hell they last forever unless they are abused.

Mike, I recently bought a pack of 2 Genie Universals, and programmed them for the Overhead Door opener I have in this rental. They are small, so I can keep one in my riding jacket, and one in my truck. Lowe's had them for $29.99.

 

 

I will be so glad when I buy the new house...

I don't think that Genie remotes will work with it...But this thread has given me hope that I'm not going to drop over $100 on opener remotes (one for each of my vehicles, plus a keypad on the house).

 

Keychain option sounds interesting too.

Do you have the Homelink buttons in your truck? If so you can program those to operate your grage door opener. (not sure how though, look in your owners manual)

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
