I couldn't stand how my new GM key is longer though, i ended up picking these up

OEM replacements, and when they brake Ive already bought 2 more, my girlfriend cut my keys for me at work made me happy

Those are the same replacements I got for my Silverado, it takes a few years before that style breaks but these are a better design and should last as long as the vehicle.

And yes @Fosscore the wiper is truly deleted, but the holes are not

I don’t actually fight, I use my keys to throw at the bad guy and run. This new key shouldn’t break now

Buuuuutt.....it’s not truly deleted now is it?


Thx for sharing that key link.

How about a good key fob link?

haha as for a good fob I haven't found one I bough two of the cheap amazon ones there range sucks I ended up just using the housing to replace that and the pads used the board from my original fobs though

and I know they break but they are the OEM style key, and I no longer keep my key on a heavy keyring it's on it's own, with just the fob hopefully or wont break anymore

Interesting approach. I just asked as this is a common replacement and always interested to see what gets purchased since we have eBay and Amazon as outlets. Thx man.

 

[KookyKoala]

yeah you can buy just the housing and if I had it to do again that's what I'd do

Cool. Good idea. Does it just pull apart? Glued together or snaps in place?

it just snaps apart, the board lifts right out well mine did anyways. because my key fobs were so worn down that you couldn't see any of the three buttons the pads. I did clean all the contacts on the front of the board with isopurple alcohol before putting back together it works like new now

Thx man. I found the shells on Amazon and eBay has them in 2 packs. Saves on the reprogramming as well.

Thx for the tip.

Sorry @05Single for the thread jack but hey what’s a few posts about important truck mods amongst friends?

Lol

I was gonna add , how else does one change a battery ? Everything pops apart. Take a flat head or even a butter knife works.

But I have the viper smart start so I don’t even carry a fob anymore
