Took it for a ride yesterday to test out the lowering. Still haven't taken it on the highway yet, but, it's a little bouncey in the rear with dips in the road. I still want to take it on the highway to see if the swaying has gone away. BTW --this Hoe burns rubber! Nice too. No pics, never go back to the scene of the crime! :angels25::driver::secret:

Want bluetooth/handsfree calling and backup camera with factory touchscreen NAV...

Is it just cheaper to get an aftermarket double din H/U? That has its own issues I understand since it requires a bunch of interfaces to maintain chimes and DVD and what not. Seems like a headache.

It costed me roughly $500 to put a Pioneer 7" DVD model bs4800, a PAC module, camera, dash kit, neutral chip (play video while driving). I don't have the Pioneer Nav, but it works off of my phone with the apps you can download for the deck. The PAC unit pretty much takes care of the chimes, reverse turn on,steering wheel controls, and its the wiring harness as well to plug into the trucks harness.

Thanks. Ugh. Trying not to spend $500 if possible. So many other things on the truck to spend that on.

I would say most of the cost was the head unit. The PAC unit can be had for 80.00 on Amazon
PAC OS5 OS-5 Radio Replacement Interface with Onstar Retention https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JDUBQ06/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_0qc0ybJMB749A

Here a screenshot of the three things you need to put the deck in, just need the camera if you want one.

I've got my eye on the Pioneer 3800, it does everything I need. I have the wiring harness, just waiting on a good deal. Will end up with 400 or less in it with rear view camera included

I was looking at them all and went 4800 as it was a tad bigger screen and it has the newer button layout. Mine also tilts the entire face down at any angle for glare, and you can't tell it even has a disc ****, because it's behind the faceplate.

Yeah id probably be considering something dirt cheap like: https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-MVH-...038362&sr=1-19&keywords=double+din+car+stereo

https://www.amazon.com/Pyle-Motoriz...038446&sr=1-26&keywords=double+din+car+stereo

Its been over a decade since I was playing with car audio stuff. No idea whats really out there atm. I was really hoping it would be cheap to add handsfree calling or a backup camera to my stock setup.

Esky HID's are flickering when we go over bumps. Gonna try some inexpensive kensun d1r 5000k bulbs to see if that makes any difference. They do fog up a bit so I'm gonna seal em good and hopefully this is the fix. OEM ballasts can get pricey from what I can tell.

I've got a pile of little parts and stuff comin' in. Planning to do the BIG 3 since i have most of the stuff already, coolant flush, brake fluid flush, interior LED's, gotta figure out the drivers heated seat which doesn't want to heat OR cool (passenger works fine though.)

Already cleaned MAF and TB and did the intake "swiss cheese mod" which really is just cutting a large hole in the dirty side of the filter box.


Interestingly the 2005 Esky ESV is averaging ~14.5mpg. My 2003 LWB Denali XL was getting ~12mpg average and I was pretty up to date on maintenance stuff. That is a not insignificant difference.
