    Keyless Entry

    I just discovered my truck should have keyless entry. I do not have a remote. No big deal. I've read how to program them and they aren't expensive. My question is the RPO code talks shows "trunk release" as well. My truck being a 99 K2500 Suburban with barn doors, I would assume there isn't a...

    Favorite hand tool brand? My box is mostly Craftsman(USA made). With a mix of Harbor Freight, Snap-On, Mac, Gearwrench and some others. I prefer US made tools, but unfortunately Craftsman doesn't make tools in the US anymore. The majority of the US tool manufacturers are expensive. I don't...
