Has anyone bought an extra key fob from the dealer or aftermarket? If so how much? Does anyone have the programming instructions for adding an extra fob to the truck?

 

My wife lost both key fobs and I had a locksmith come out and it cost me $400 for two fobs with the keys cut for the door and tailgate. He also made 3 keys for her bed cover. Dealer wanted $200 a fob and I would have had to pay for a tow. There is no way on gods green earth you can program a fob yourself. The locksmith had $40,000 in computers hooked up to the truck in order to erase and program 3 new keys. 2 fobs and 1 bladed key with a transmitter built in like the ST trucks have. He said every key had a $50 program fee that he had to pay to the company that provides him with the new codes for the key. I gave the locksmith my VIN# over the phone and when he pulled up he already had the key cut to open the door, that was a freaky site.

 

just got a new fob last week, $250 programmed, for 1. from the dealer

 

If you don't have remote start you're better off getting it. The dealer charged me around $275 to get it installed and it comes with 2 fobs. Plus they reprogrammed my original 2. So you may be better off getting the remote start instead of buying new fobs.

 

The other guy got 2 fobs for 400 from a lock smith was a better deal.

 

This - is the best deal, get the quote to install, and then dicker from there. They don't have to know that you already have remote.
