Re: 03 GMC 2500 battery problem

I have a full set of all three lock cylinders with two keys that are in pretty decent shape... if I can find them. One Door, Ignition, and Spare tire lock cylinder.
They had 60K on them. I think they're in a box on one of the shelves in the garage.
I changed my locks as soon as I got it home. I had a truck stolen by the PO back in 1988 so I never leave the original locksets in my used vehicle purchases. You're most of the way across the country so they'll be a long long way from here and you'll have all the keys.

The hardest part is pulling out the LH outside door handle and that ain't too terrible.
It gives you a chance to spray the inner door bottom with 3M cavity wax to keep the rust at bay and re-attach any loose vapor barrier. And fix any loose electrical connectors and latch rods.

If you want to roll your own replacement lock cylinders I posted the howto details in my build thread.
