yeah - I actually keep a piece of paper hanging from the vent over the gps when I park somewhere so it looks like I just keep a "reminder list" hanging on the dash for myself ... lol

Thanks --- It's the Magellan 3225 ( same as the 3200 series ) but comes with 1.5M POI's. I updated the POI file online to 6Million and it rocks now :) I wish I would have taken more pics along the way - but I was doing this outside at 30 degrees. I really love the way it looks OEM with the...

Thanks to 05Z71BURB from z71tahoe-suburban.com for inspiring me with "Poor Mans In-dash Navigation 1st Lame Mod" and my attempt ... Updated Pic's I picked up a switch and auxilliary power socket at radioshack, along with a blade fuse tap in and had a little fun. My intent was to install this...

A little research and I found the fix ... http://z71tahoe-suburban.com/iboard/index.php?showtopic=12735&hl=steering+wheel+controls Seems easy enough ...

Hey -- I just got the same thing happen within the past 2 weeks. Last week I lost one button light and last night I noticed I lost a second button light ! What's the deal ? Is there a little buld or diode of some sort to replace ?? *2004 Suburban

LOL I just did this same ISS replacement this weekend on my burban and man what a PIA the gas pedal is !!! I couldn't get to the second nut in back of the gas pedal for sh!t. Of course I started around 4:00pm thinking it would only be 2 bolts and the gas pedal and it ended up taking me until...

I believeyou only have like 2 or 4 hours ( or something like that) to rec'v the activation code after they send it out from XM. You need to get the radio turned on and stationary within that time frame or else it will not have recv'd the broadcasted activation and it would have expired -- that...

I wish the brainwashed Obama disciples would open their eyes -- A windfall tax !! How ridiculous! Basic Eco 101 --> Corporations in free markets do not pay taxes - they pass them along... If government 'decides' that a Corp makes too much money and they pass a windfall tax the Corp will simply...

So true --- I have a 45 mile round trip to work everyday and sitting in the Suburban going back and forth to work is sooo stress free. I live on Long Island and the expressways here have two speeds -- 0 or 75+mph. I feel comfortable doing either when in the Suburban ;) Also the XM, climate...

Which model did you get and from where? I'm htinking of getting one too - just not sure what I can gain ( mpg's etc...) for the $. I used to have an SCT tuner on my Mustang but that was an 05 supercharged.

I just unbolted one bolt under the hood, stroked the shaft about 10-15 times ( lol ) and then bolted it back on. It's as good as new. Not even the slightest thump. I've heard this fix lasts anywhere from 5-10k miles. That should take me into spring and then I'll pickup the latest shaft that GM...

This man knows his sh!t :thumbsup: I'm thinking of doing some sort of bu cam in the future and this bit of info helps me out too ... thnx

:thumbsup: That's one hell of a deal ! Now what is the best weight to get 5w/30, 10w30, etc... Should I use the same weight in synthetic as in conventional oil?

I did search this but still couldn't find a definite answer.... I have a 2004 5.3 Suburban and am doing an oil change tomorrow. I want to go full synthetic - but not sure what oil weight to go with or filter that works best --- anyone ? thanks

Thanks :thumbsup: I guess Suburban's have it a little rougher 'cause of the added weight too :( I used to have a Bronco and the Bronco had the same weakness -- a poor stock tranny that could not take too much heat/stress and cost a ton and a half more than most other trannys
