    Recommendations for a touch screen apple carplay head unit with backup camera function

    I'm considering an add on unit like this instead of replacing my current Bose components. It sounds fine to me as is but I want wireless Apple CarPlay. My neighbor just installed this in his 05 Land Rover and he loves it. It comes with front and rear cameras too. I am not crazy about...

    How to stiffen suspension/stop swaying?

    I just noticed that my jounce stops were touching the lower control arms on level ground and I assumed that meant the front suspension was sagging (260k miles) and I thought of try to stiffen up the torsion bars. But you say that is normal?

    Front license plate bracket for an 03 Yukon XL, not Denalli

    Yeah I always do the power folding of the mirrors prior to entering the carwash. When I bought my truck a few years ago I thought the mirrors were broken but then realized they were power and out of their proper detent. On another note, I spoke to a GMC parts department guy earlier and for...

    Front license plate bracket for an 03 Yukon XL, not Denalli

    Wow I am really surprised GM doesn't make a license plate bracket for my model but I have yet to see a photo of one. I like the pics I've of the Denali models I've seen, how they contour to the bumper so the carwash fabric can't get behind it. Overall pretty happy with the carwash BTW but a...

    Front license plate bracket for an 03 Yukon XL, not Denalli

    My front license plate keeps getting damaged by my local auto car wash. It's only held on by a couple of fasteners so I thought I'd purchase an OEM license plate bracket that contours to the front bumper and eliminate this problem but after a bit of searching online I cannot find one. All of...

    Factory Bose 6disc stereo

    I think i have that same head unit in my 03 Yukon XL SLT. I added an iSimple Connect device, part no ISGM655 to give me bluetooth capabilities for music and handsfree calling. When I had a iPhone 6 the sound quality wasn't that great but with my new iPhone 11 the sound is much much better...

    Seated heat problems

    I replaced both the lumbar and seat bottom elements from the Seat Shop as well. Bought them through Amazon. Somewhere on the web I found the resistance specs that said the elements should ohm check from 1-5 ohms. Mine were 5 & 9 ohms so I took a chance and ordered them before I disassembled...

    Crank, no start, pump running but no fuel at the shredder valve

    I'm pleased to report that a new fuel pump fixed the problem. I could hear the pump running/priming so I initially didn't think the pump was at fault but a new pump from O'Reillys Auto Parts got it started and running fine. Thanks for all the input from everyone. Big lesson learned for my...

    Crank, no start, pump running but no fuel at the shredder valve

    Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! I did try the easy things first; it wouldn't start while pushing in on the shrader valve and my vacuum actuated pressure regulator doesn't have fuel on the vacuum side. First thing in the morning I'm going to try to push the truck around back and...

    Crank, no start, pump running but no fuel at the shredder valve

    So I have an 03 Yukon XL, 5.3 flex fuel. While I was out of town the wife ran it out of gas. I've added 5 gallons of gas but no start. I can hear the pump running for a few seconds and what sounds like a lot fuel returning (splashing) to the tank. I squirted fuel in at the throttle blade and...

    Thinking of Buying a 00-06 NBS Tahoe/Suburban? Look Here

    In response to common failures on these trucks I want to mention the transfer case. I had read about the internal failure that causes the magnesium case to get holes in it and leak fluid out. I had dampness on my case that I couldn't nail down where it was coming from until I took off on a...

    Converting 2005 Tahoe LT to Bluetooth with Streaming?

    I found a product that satisfies most of the criteria mentioned about except it requires and separate, additional microphone. It's called iSimple Connect. Model ISGM655. I retained all factory capabilities with the Bose and RES except for XM and I think they have an optional module that even...

    GM Tech 2

    I just bought a scanner as well. I got one called BlueDriver. It's a free ap for your phone. One of the few that I saw that was Mac/Apple compatible. The bluetooth device that you plug into the DLT costs $100 though on Amazon. Free updates, reads and clears codes from engine, drivetrain...
