That could be expensive to replace.....does the odometer still work? One work around would be to get a GPS for your car, it will show you your speed and miles driven.
OK U HAVE TO OPEN THE DASH AND LOOK AND SEE IF UR CONNETOR IS LOOSE THAT SHOWS UR MILAGE GAGE AND IT MIGHT SOLVE IT IF NOT IT THE RELAY TO THE SPEED SENOR AND MILAGE
The key fobs are wearing out and need to be replaced. Sometimes taking them apart and cleaning the switch contacts and battery contacts will extend their lives but they are not built to last.
I believe your vehicles ECU sends the mileage data to the instrument panel cluster...in which the LCD odometer display has failed.
This is right from GMC service repair manual
Odometer
The vehicle odometer is calculated and stored electronically in the instrument panel cluster (IPC). The base IPC contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. The uplevel IPC contains a season odometer and two trip odometers. Momentarily press the trip/reset switch on the IPC in order to toggle between the season odometer and the trip odometer. Press the trip/reset switch for greater than 2 seconds, while the trip odometer is displayed, in order to reset the trip odometer.
The IPC calculates the mileage based on the vehicle speed signal circuit from the engine control module (ECM). The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected. The odometer displays either miles or kilometers as requested by the activation of the Personalization button on the steering wheel controls.
Buy a working used cluster on ebay or from a junkyard and swap it. Or buy the repair kit for this problem, they used to sell them on ebay, and repair your cluster. Look on youtube for a video about pulling the dash cover and instrument cluster.
Are you looking at the odometer or the tripometer? If it only has 5 digits it does not read the tenths of a mile only whole miles. So just read it as milage like 10 miles not 1.0 miles.
