THanks for the reply. Unfortunately i could not find that stupid key anywhere!! Good news is the new key will only cost about $18 at the local GMC parts store here.
If you ever lose one, or want a copy, all they need is proof of ownership (registration) and a picture ID.
I found the remote fob on Ebay for $13 shipped (brand new OEM).
So ......im back in business for just over $30. Not too bad!
