Keyless entry battery change

Anyone know what size battery they take? How to take the remote apart and if it needs to be reprogramed.

It won't need reprogrammed. The truck is programmed to the fob, not the other way round.

Just pop it open with a coin between the two loops that the key ring goes through.
Replace with a CR2032 3v battery. You don't even have to remove it from the ring.

Thanks. I happened to have a new one on the shelf. Be careful you could easily break the plastic.
