I just purchased a 2004 Suburban and would like to program a new remote myself. Is that possible?
Thanks,
Terry

Often self programming procedures are in your owners manual.
I would like to be more helpful but I don't have access to the books at this time. Also the parts department at the dealer might be able to help.
anything is possible if you have the right tech equipment. the most cost efficient thing you can do is take it to your GM dealer. or someone that has the tech equipment needed.

I do have info for 2003 Suburban-Don't know if it changed in 2004 or not. If it has not, and there is already a working remote for the vehicle, it can be done on board with no diagnostic equipment.

Take a look on eBay. There are people selling replacement remotes there all the time. I got a couple for $15 each and they came with programming instructions.

I did order a couple off eBay but no instructions were included.
I have on working old one and the two new ones are new in the box never been programmed.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks to Mike Levy on a different group I have the instructions and I can verify that they do work.

OPTIONAL Repeat step 4 for each transmitter to be programmed, then label them as
1, 2, 3 and 4, in the order they were programmed.
I only had three remotes but the 2004 Suburban will accept up to 4. The dash shows Dirver 1, 2, or 3 based on which remote you unlocked it with. Works great.
Hope this helps someone else.
