Power locks remote - where to get replacement?

Only one remote for the power locks came with this truck when I bought it used. I think it's dying, because it has brutal range, and you have to really mash the buttons to get it to do anything.
Is this something I can buy from the dealer or Ebay? If so, how do you program it?

I cleaned my remote... opened it up, used some contact cleaner I had in the house, and now the buttons all work perfectly. Might try cleaning that one, and replacing the battery before you totally give up on it...

I'll break it apart this weekend to clean the contacts and see if that helps. it's got a fresh battery, so i now that's not the issue.
Otherwise, I'll ebay myself a pair of new remotes.

thanks for everyone's help.

That contact cleaner is available at Radio Shack, but its like $6 a can... its good stuff to have in the house tho... If not, use a q-tip and some alcohol... I bet your contacts on the rubber buttons on/or on the circuit board are all "gunky".... clean it and you'll be good to go, but $16 for a new fob is pretty cheap too

Anyone know if the 2003 and newer remotes will work on the first gen expy? Obviously the fourth button (trunk/Hatch) won't work, but will the rest?
there are more of those on Ebay.
Just cleaned up the remote i have, and it works a little better, but I still need a second one for the wife.
