With all the different 'factory' remotes out there for these GMs, how would i know which remote is right for my vehicle? Would any factory or OEM keyless entry remote from a 97-99 Astro work for my van?

Yes, a remote from a 97-99 Astro, Suburban, or Tahoe will work- but must be programmed.....use this procedure- Oh and be sure to put a new battery in your remote transmitter if it doesn't already have one...

Transmitter Programming

  1. Ground pin 4 to pin 8 of the data link connector (DLC). The receiver will respond as follows:
       - The doors will lock and unlock within 2 seconds.
       - The liftgate window release (E54) will be activated within 2 seconds.
  2. Simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on one of the transmitters until the locks cycle. This will take approximately 10 seconds. The receiver will respond as follows:
       - The doors will lock and unlock within 2 seconds.
       - The liftgate window release (E54) will be activated within 2 seconds.
       - Do not wait more then 60 seconds between transmitters or the receiver will exit the programming mode.
  3. Repeat step 2 for each transmitter, four transmitter can be programed to this vehicle.
  4. Remove the jumper wire from the DLC.
  5. Verify that the RKE is functioning correctly:
       - Lock and unlock the doors.
       - Activate the liftgate window (E54).

If you do not have a oem remote for the vehicle you might just have pwr locks w/o keyless entry.  Should be blk/wht pin 8 @ DLC.  If it is empty you just have pwr w/o keyless.  Keyless module is in pass. kick panel if equiped.
