Key fob is just dead at random.

Well, so far my issue is still not solved. Replacing the wireless module didn't fix the problem. It's so strange. When I got the truck from the dealership, I could unlock the truck from distance. Then I noticed that I couldn't unlock the vehicle any longer with the key fob buttons but I could unlock with the door buttons. Now that is random if I can unlock with the door handles without getting the remote out of my pocket and going to the back door to unlock. It is a frustrating situation for sure.

I am sorry to hear your issue is still in limbo, unfortunately this sounds so much like the issue I am experiencing as well. Both remotes seem to be working as expected at the moment although I have only been checking occasionally in the garage as I have not driven the truck since returning home from camping. Plan to drive it today... fingers crossed.

Thanks for updating your situation.

Is there any mention of a battery drain on any trucks? I'm having the same issue with my keys as well. Now, there is a parasitic draw that is draining the battery. I go to pull the fuse for the theft system, there isn't one. It's supposed to be on the driver's side, on the side of the dash. I have an appointment at our GMC dealer for May 2nd.

Thank you.

I have not experienced a draw on the battery to my knowledge. But the truck gets used almost daily so I'd think that would keep the battery topped up. The dealership offered to put in a new body control module but they didn't have faith that was going to fix the issue and is expensive. GM just accepted my order for production on my new truck so kinda just going to live with it for a couple months I think.
