05Single's virgin build thread. 03 tahoe

Common issue with these GM keys is that they split in the ring opening. Got a newer style key from the dealer. $30 for one or $50 for 2. Stupid expensive, not chipped or fancy but well.... it is the stealership. Cheaper than calling a tow truck if my key fell off somewhere and being stranded , late for work , or whatever.

Never knew that was an issue.

Both my original keys on my tahoe and same with my 05 Silverado did this. Seen it happens to a few friends and family gm trucks too.

My second key has also done that. I just keep it in a small pocket in my backpack so I don’t lose it haha.

It’s not bad at all, but I guess it would depend on the driver too. Some want zero obstruction and a full view. After driving flat beds and box trucks I’m use to using my side mirrors 90% of the time while driving.

I don't hardly use my rear view either

Same. Had a Buick key do it and a Pontiac key do it.

Thx for sharing that key link.
