Help! Far from home w/key locked in truck!
Help! Far from home w/key locked in truck!
Sorry for the non-thirdgen post. My regular log-in is shawn87gta but I had to re-register this name as the login page was down. I am 800 miles from home and duh, locked my keys in my truck. I wanted to ask if anyone could advise me on opening it, I have seldom had to break in a car and those were typically old junkers. If it were most any of the 60 some-odd other cars I've owned, I'd probably just use a BFH on it...
I have a 90 GMC 1/2 ton and the window seal is very tight, I was going to try to reach down to the unlock button with someone guiding me from the other side but I couldn't get a coat hanger over the window. I tried to use the coat hanger as a slim jim over the door handle but no luck. I also do not have a piece of wire long enough to reach all the way across to hit the opposite unlock button, plus as mentioned it would be hard to get it over the window anyway. So, the obvious thing to do is call a service to come let me in, and I will tomorrow if no one can help but I thought what the hell, I'd try here before I blew $50 or whatever they charge. If anyone can tell me how to get it unlocked it would be greatly appreciated. Orrr, if there are any members in the SW Arlington/Ft. Worth, Tx area who happen to have experience as a locksmith or thief, and would like to help a fellow member out, that would work too....:hail: I'd be good for several beers or cocktails of choice, or the appropriate meal for the time of day! Anyway, just thought I'd take a chance, fortunately I'm not blocking my hosts' car and I can call someone to open it tomorrow... we managed to wiggle the behemoth Expedition out of the garage past my truck!! Thanks for any suggestions.

Well, the easiest way I found was to pick up the phone and 20 minutes/$20 later it was open! I'm at my ex brother-in-laws and couldn't find anything to do it myself with. Funniest home videos would've loved his wife driving and me guiding the Expedition out of the garage with my truck about 4' from the door! Thanks, Lykan, for the suggestions.
