The line most quotes leave out is whether the new cylinder is rekeyed to the key your driver already carries.

Most fleets believe they have twice the spare-key coverage they actually have, and the gap sits on the trucks that run daily.

With nothing to copy, the key has to be built from the vehicle - and somebody has to prove the truck is yours.

A GM yard is rarely one key population - and the cab-over chassis is usually the cheapest vehicle in it.

The truck tells you where the fault is in the first three seconds, and almost nobody watches the dash.

The first vehicle of any visit carries the trip. Everything after it is marginal, and most fleets never pull that lever.

A module is hardware plus data, and the data is the half that makes the truck run. Replacing the part alone changes nothing.

The big truck is usually the cheap one. A Class 8 key is often a cutting job where the pickup beside it is a programming job.

Public fleets do not churn, they accumulate - and twenty model years in one yard means four or five key technologies.

Nine times in ten the spare fob answers the question for free, and it separates a fifteen-dollar fix from a four-hundred-dollar one.
