Hoping someone can confirm this works for a newer 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew.

My 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew is basically useless until I get this code. Fingers crossed.

Was about to tow my 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew. Let me try this first.

My 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew might finally get back on the road thanks to this.

Anyone got tips on key code retrieval for a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew?
