Make sure you match the FCC codes on the back of the fob. You can program new ones to the truck yourself.

The ones without the instructions on the back of the remote are Chicom copies. They work fine but the housings are junk. You can also use the remote from the Cadillacs of the same generation.

Go to your local locksmith, and they will sell you the fob and program it to the truck. You'll get a good quality fob, and you'll be in and out in about 15 minutes.
I've recently watched YouTube videos where you can program a newly purchased FOB using the buttons on the dash. Step thru your dash buttons to see if the dash LED readout provides the programing function. Apparently, some older Tahoe's allow you to program the FOB this way, others do not. My 2013 did not. I ordered a new FOD from Amazon (Brand name: Dorman 99156 Keyless Entry Remote 6 Button). Comes with the programming device that plugs into the OB2 outlet under the dash. Cost $63. Looks simple. It will be delivered tomorrow. I'll let you know.
I received the Dorman 99156 Keyless Entry Remote 6 Button (FOB replacement kit) I ordered from Amazon. It included a new FOB and the FOB programming device that plugs into the OB2 outlet. It was very easy to program the FOB and the FOB works perfectly.
One note-I bought this so that I would have an extra FOB, so if you have existing FOB(s), you must re-program all of them them at the same time and using the same method as you programmed the new FOB.
