Cheapest Way to Get a Spare Key?

[smo0othride]

What are the options for getting a spare key besides going to the dealership for it? (I have one key and would like a second spare). For some reason when I search for "key" nothing comes up. If I have to go to the dealership, how much will it be?

The locksmith might be able to program the key to the car. Some can.

I just went through this and this is what I found around me. The dealer wanted $130 to cut a second key and reprogram both my existing key and the new one. A local locksmith did it for $65. I then bought 2 off of ebay for under $20 and had the local locksmith cut them for $10 and then programed those two myself.

I'm in the lock business and you guys are correct. 99+ trucks need two keys to make a third. I just bought two more for my own new truck just to avoid the hassle if I lose one. I can get the newer ones with the remote built into the head, but just got two cheapies for the spares. Don't ever go to a dealer for the keys. The original keys were made by Hurd or Strattec and available to local locksmiths.

Yea, you have to call around. Some locksmiths can do it, others can't. Either way, it'll be a lot cheaper than the dealer.
