Are the locks the same?

[Shadowz Edge]

Hello folks.

Question for the hive mind. Are the Door locks on the driver's door and the rear barn door the same lock cylinder or is there 2 different ones? I'm asking cause I'm picking an 04 Yukon XL soon and want to secure it better for my piece of mind by replacing all the locks at once including the ignition lock. Thanks everyone!!

its only one key for everything, seems like a waste of time and money to me, if some dirt bag wants your car they will take it no matter what. and we all know these trucks can be stolen with out the key in less then a minute. the fact the steering wheel dont lock is one huge part of making it easy.

^^^^^x2^^^^^ You may want to install a hidden switch that powers your fuel pump, so the truck won't start, until you've flipped the switch.

Just for curiosity,, how is the Passlock system overcome? Guess it could be be not started and just dragged off?

being im not a criminal i dont know how they get past the security. but if you break the window and climb in the alarm wont go off, unlocking the door sets off the alarm. you can then rip the shifter right out of park, then push it away all silent like. back int he day all the gmt 800 trucks were being stolen with surprising ease, them stock wheels must be worth something good. think the escalades. theres tons of vids of them being stolen in a minute one way or another.

I understand about the theft of the entire vehicle aspect. I'm more concerned about a random previous owner that still has a key just walking up to my vehicle and just unlock it and take whatever's inside. That's why I'm wondering about if the rear barn door and drivers door uses the same lock cylinder so I can lock into purchasing new ones as well as replacing the ignition lock cylinder.
