I checked my last oil change date because its been a while. Or at least I thought it was. I last changed it in December, and I have just barely put 1,600 miles on my truck since December. And I've been to New Orleans in it twice since then, went down for Christmas and went there again in April...

The Porter Cable is great starter polisher. Harbor Freight makes a similar one that is very comparable and has great reviews. Its actually on sale this weekend only (3-day sale) for under $60. I have one and it works great. Just vibrates a lot in my opinion. But I've heard the same about the...

Yeah, it does look pretty good. That front valance and round fogs suits it very well. :thumbs:

I'm gonna have to try this. :thumbs:

That looks like a sweet unit! :thumbs: I wonder which model number Pioneer would be equivalent to that but without Navigation. I don't need nor do I have any desire for Navigation in my head unit. But it has all the inputs and outputs that I am looking for, and the user interface looks great.

Yeah, if the fan is still running after shutting it off, that's sounds like the blower motor resistor or else the control panel may be bad. Usually if the resistor is bad, the fan will only blow on high and not on low or medium. But I did say "usually", so they don't always fail that way. I had...

The temperature door actuator (also called the "blend door actuator") is the one that I was referring to. It's the one that switches the ducts from hot to cold. If it is closed to the hot side, the vents will blow hot air. If it closes to the cool side, then the vents will blow the cold air...

The blend door is pretty much behind the center console. To reach it, you need to remove the lower dash cover on the passenger side below the glove box. If you have ever replaced the cabin air filter, then you know the cover I am referring to, because this is the same cover that you remove to...

I am in the same boat. For what it would cost to add Bluetooth to my 08 model Alpine stereo, I can buy a new stereo with Bluetooth built in. I've been looking at Alpine, Kenwood, and Pioneer mainly.

Ahh, OK. I do remember that thread now that I just read over it again. I would need that same BT-400 module that you have, PLUS another $50 adapter cable since I have a 2008 model radio and the BT-400 is only plug and play with 09+ Alpine stereos. For the hell of it, I just look on Crutchfield...

Yes, this statement is true. Both the control panel and the actuator have been known to fail. More often than not, the blend door actuator can fail and default to the hot setting. I had my control panel replaced twice while my truck was still under warranty. Was it the problem? Who knows, but it...

What Alpine head unit do you have? I have an Alpine in mine, but it's an older model from 2007 or 2008. I can "add" Bluetooth if I buy an external module from Alpine, but for what that module costs, I can actually buy a newer head unit. I've been considering converting my dash to the 2003-2006...

I'll just put it like this. Any GOOD paint shop would rather do the body work themselves than to have you do it. They have no clue about your body work skills, or if you used cheap materials and primer or what not. They won't warranty the paint job if they are painting over your body work and...

Is this a GMT400 body style (same as 92-99 body style) 2500 Suburban that you are referring to? Or is it a GMT800 body style, same as 2000-2006 body style Suburban ? I have a 2001 Suburban and I only have one sensor.

Thanks. I figured it was fairly light, but not sure how heavy it would be with the throttle body and stuff still attached to it. Forgive my ignorance, but Ive never replaced one so I have no clue. :dunno:

So I take it I should be able to knock it out then. How heavy is the intake? I doubt its over 20 lbs. I'm STILL healing from my spine surgery several months ago and I can't really lift over 20 lbs ,especially if I'm in a bent over position like leaning under the hood. And thanks for that...

Thanks. I'm just not looking forward to having to pull that intake off. But with my truck being 15 years old now, more shit is starting to go bad now so I guess that to be expected. :dunno: I guess if I replace them, I may as well put a new harness in as well. Didn't someone on here do a...

Well, its been almost 2 years, but now my knock sensor code is popping up again. I'm guessing it's time to replace the knock sensors. But I will still swear by the Amsoil PI though. It's awesome stuff. :thumbs:

I keep getting a CEL popping up very often now and every time I connect my scanner is says Bank 1 and Bank 2 knock sensors low input. Does this mean I need to replace the knock sensors? This same code was coming on about a year ago, and I happened to actually "accidentally" get rid of it by...

I'm all up in here. :thumbs:

Corey, that will be a v6 work truck with 4x4 for that price, trust me. :lol: If you have not checked Ross Downing Chevrolet in Hammond, they usually have some of the best deals in the state. Looking their website and get in touch with one of their internet sales guys. Get him to give you a price...

Yeah, the rental we are in right now is a crew. And with me driving and the seat moved back, you really need a Crew to have any legroom at all back there. :lol: So the crew cab is a must for me and my family IF we were to even switch from a Burbans to a truck. And bed length isn't really too...

Yep. Once I started pricing Tahoes and Burbans, we were like WTF? Thats a Chevy,not a Escalade. :lol: But I could get a 2015 Silverado for about $37k plus ttl optioned like I wanted it. That was the best deal they quoted me. :dunno: I didn't realize that all the new trucks had 4 full doors...

Negative , oh great hairless one.

I was actually thinking about getting into a new crew cab Silverado. I've been driving one for about two weeks now while the wife's car is in the shop getting repaired. I like these new 2015 trucks. So I actually went out and started looking at prices on some, and they are still a bit out of my...
