    Ignition Key Programming Issues

    I ended up calling a locksmith. I still have not made the switch though. He quoted $150 to program 2 keys and 2 remotes, so I am waiting on remotes in the mail.

    Thank you. When I bought them online they made it seem as if it was just the programming procedure and you're good to go. I appreciate the feedback.

    Best places to buy a PPV/SSV?

    I'll have to agree with @Bill 1960 on this one, there are plenty of reasons it could have accumulated miles. As for the auction vehicles, it is rare they are under 100k (at G&S), but you will find 100-120k all day long. $10k budget will get you in nearly any of them (typically sell in the...

    Ignition Key Programming Issues

    As I'm sure most have dealt with, my PPV came with drilled door locks. I ordered a kit on ebay to replace both the door lock and ignition lock, this way I could have matching keys. Install for both wasn't too bad (*FYI* make sure you get the door lock clip when ordering new door locks, it...

    Best places to buy a PPV/SSV?

    If your willing to give up some of these specs then look at Gaston & Sheehan auctions. They have about 15-20 PPV's per month and some SSV for auction. Its located in Pflugerville, just north of Austin, so about 2-3 hour drive for you. Mine is from there, its a 2013. You will be able to find the...

    Battery Sizzling

    UPDATE: Swapped out the primary battery and removed the second battery. Disconnected the additional wires & fuses (60 & 125), these are currently taped off, but will be removed another day. The truck started right up. Drove for about 30 mins, the smell and sizzle sound are gone. Fingers...

    Battery Sizzling

    Thank you, I'll try that and see how it goes. I might as well pick up a simpler terminal set-up as well, since the wires connected to the 125 & 60 fuses are useless to me as well.

    Battery Sizzling

    I am paranoid when it comes to batteries. I've shorted them once or twice, so I am always extra cautious.

    Battery Sizzling

    Is this easy to do? I am not electronically savvy. Is it as simple as not re-installing the second battery, or more involved than that? @Sparksalot is correct, this will be a daily/baby hauler for the wife.

    Battery Sizzling

    Gotcha. Thanks for the tips. I have a feeling one is already dead also, it hesitated on startup once or twice. Fingers crossed replacing both does the trick...I was supposed to buy rubber floor mats with this money haha.

    Battery Sizzling

    I disconnected the problem battery last night and it didnt start. Im just going to replace both batteries and hopefully that resolves the issue. What do you mean be sure they are matched? I've never owned a vehicle with two batteries before so I am not familiar with what to look out for.
