    6 CD Changer - Replacement? - SOLVED

    I installed the new CD player in my radio and loaded it up with CDs and I made a bet with myself (based on the fact that Murphy always wins) that it wouldn't fix the problem and I am hell bent out of shape to tell you that it did. The sound is incredible and no cutting out. It works flawlessly...

    6 CD Changer - Replacement? - SOLVED

    Fless, you must have a USB port on your radio. My GM radio doesn't have any of that in its original form, but there were quite a few companies that came up with modifications and installed a 3.5 mm AUX port on the GM 10359577. My radio is one of those and I can use my ipod on that but for some...

    6 CD Changer - Replacement? - SOLVED

    TJ Baker, this CD player is hard to figure out. I am still trying to find the laser eye to see if it may need cleaning and to put a drop of oil in the right spot sounds like a great idea but I don't know where to put a little oil. I don't want to take this player apart in any serious way because...

    6 CD Changer - Replacement? - SOLVED

    Thanks guys, I hear you. And I will move on and upgrade to something newer if the GM radio goes bad. Right now the radio is fine, it's the CD player that's acting up. It's not skipping. I can hit a pothole and nothing skips. It just cuts in and out, like there is a loose connection or it hangs...

    6 CD Changer - Replacement? - SOLVED

    ZKWBQD, I am tempted to do that when the radio itself goes bad. Does it mean it will put all my music on my iphone? My radio has an AUX port and I plug my ipod into it. All the CDs that I want to listen to are on that ipod, except the sound quality is not as good as the CD player. But what...

    6 CD Changer - Replacement? - SOLVED

    Thanks Fless for the link. I did some research and found out that these units are made by Panasonic for many manufacturers. Just because they look the same will not work. They are not interchangeable. The versions that would work for my radio and year Tahoe are E9291-1 and/or E9060A-2 of which...

    6 CD Changer - Replacement? - SOLVED

    Does anybody know who makes the CD unit in the GM 10359577 radio in my 2004 Tahoe. Also is there a model number for this unit? I took it out of the radio to take a closer look, but don't find anything. Googling any of the numbers on the CD player doesn't do anything. I am trying to find out if I...

    That makes little sense

    No Marky, I am not confusing wheels and tires. The tires are the same, except the spare is 1" smaller in diameter. The wheel of course is therefor a 16" wheel but it is also 1" narrower. Sane people make all 5 wheels and tires the same (except compact skinny spares of course). You are right, the...

    That makes little sense

    I just looked at the VIN ID label on the driver door of my 2010 Silverado and all the tires are the same P245/70R17. Nothing weird here.

    That makes little sense

    Great explanations from all of you, but ever since Carl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler separated the horses from the carriage it is common engineering knowledge not to have wheels of different sizes on your car. Before I knew any of this I blew out a rear tire and had to travel 260 miles on my spare...

    That makes little sense

    Yes, of course. But why is my spare different in size than the rest of the tires. That could burn up a differential in no time on a long trip. And I looked it up on the service parts identification label, the spare is a 16" and the other 4 are 17". Makes no sense

    That makes little sense

    Confusion at its best. I call up tire places to shop for tires for my 2004 Tahoe. They all say that the tires for my Tahoe need to be 265/70R16. I look what's on the car now and they are 265/70R17. I look at the label on the driver side door and it gets even weirder. It says that the correct...

    OE Shocks for my 2004 Tahoe

    Here is what I ended up doing after kicking all the options around. I replaced the rear shocks with a set of self-leveling shocks from Luftmeister. They are brand new and look exactly like the Sachs TXU shocks in dimension, shape and weight, carry a 1 year warranty and after making an offer on...

    OE Shocks for my 2004 Tahoe

    Badrides, do you still have the nivomat rear shocks. One of mine on my 2004 Tahoe is leaking. I think the time has come to face it and replace them. I settle for good used ones if you still have them
