Lowes has/had some generic ones...

There's no chip in the key, so any place that makes keys should be able to make one.

You can get them from most anyplace that cuts keys. Ebay has a combo key and fob for around $30 if you need that option.

What about 97 Tahoe. I heard it was a dealer only key. Dosent look special.

You can get spare keys cut at Home Depot or Lowes. I believe they are 14R2 keys or something like that, I can't remember what my key says. They aren't much more than $15 I think..And they will cut it for you on-site provided you have an original key.

Would it be ok to make a copy of the copied key? I believe I have lost the original as I haven’t been able to find it for over a week. I’m hoping the only copy I have is cut good enough to make another copy. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the original key to make a copy correct?

For the smoothest working keys, pony up and have them cut bu VIN number at your local gm dealer. I do this for all brands of cars that I buy used. Works and feels so much better. Get at least two while you’re there and bring documentation of ownership of the vehicle.

Appreciate the advice

Yes, or you can go to a dealership and have them cut a key via your VIN. You will need proof of ownership, and I think it cost me $40 or so.

Could be a major difference from 2003 (chip?) but I got spare sets made at Lowes.

that being said, almost any place that cuts key can cut a key for a gmt800 and should have one or 50 in stock
doesn't matter if the key being copied is used, original, 5th one, yada yada
no chip
