A key shop may be able to cut one from the VIN. Try contacting www.amazingkeys.com. I had very good service from them when my '02 Explorer ignition switch broke.

I don't know how far they go back but normally a dealer can cut a key from the VIN number.

appreciate all the help...
as far as the dealer goes, they want to charge $50 to get the key code and another $5.95 for the key itself. He also told me that if I had the key code then they only charge for the key. so that's what i wanted to know, if there is a place to get the code? thanks

Try calling some other GM dealers, you'll probably find one that will give you the code for free (It involves getting to the correct screen and punching in the serial number). I used to call Onstar, they would release the code to a locksmith. Or just call a couple of locksmiths (don't sound desperate!)
