it could just be some dud ones then or now that the batteries are stronger your truck thinks they are different fobs.
I'll keep an eye on the battery. It's nice they use a 2032 which is the same battery used in computer motherboards.

I recently bought 2 new fobs to go along with my one working one. I had to reprogram all 3 at the same time or none would work.

Welcome to the forum from Oregon.
Where did you get your fobs from? I'm down to my last one.

Take your existing key fob and go to Amazon Prime and type in the part number from the back of your existing fob and the match will come up.

I got the fobs and inside the package there is a card that directs you to www.programtheremote.com and tells you how to program them for your rig.
If the vehicle is a 2011 or newer, I believe you need a locksmith, dealer or someone with a Tech-2 to program the key.

In fact the first step for a 2011 Tahoe on that website is, “Locate an automotive locksmith in your area using the phone number or website below.”

Not in my house! Just cleaned out a cabinet and found about a half dozen new ones that I could not find previously!
now is that your fault or someone else in the house doing it. lost my cordless drill a while ago for months and i found it in the bottom of the shoe bin. wife claimed she hadn't seen it but when i found it suddenly became my fault she put it in there.
