I've already found a locksmith here in town that advertises remotes and programming.
Time to find out if they can/will do it and what they charge.
I'd bet a paycheck they'll be substantially cheaper than the dealer.
And yes @RamDiver, I have the little buttons/switches instead of the copper tracks. The only thing that seems to help is disassembly to replace the battery and re-assembly. That helps the newer remote for a couple days.
The 'better' remote is actually 3 years newer. I bought the truck used from a dealer and they only had one remote. I told them to give me a 2nd remote as a condition of the sale, so the 'better' remote is from July 2017.
