Years back before I swapped out the whole headunit I had heard about the bluestar system and had tried to look for it as I thought that was a decent option to gain Bluetooth functionality for my 2006. But they were already out of business and I couldn’t find any left over units to purchase. This...
Yes this is why your 2005 Yukon has Bluetooth. The onstar module has essentially been turned into Bluetooth via the blue star system. Factory integrated Bluetooth was not available until 2009 in the GMT900s. That was the main reason I swapped out the factory touch screen hard drive based nav...
It was cool that we ended up trailing a group that had paid for a guided tour, we ran into them as the guide was talking about the B-29 super fortress. And then as he moved to talk about Concorde, he finished up his Concorde spiel with his experience flying the Concorde only a handful of months...
Took Sunday afternoon with my mom and uncle to see the offshoot of the Smithsonian air and space museum out in Virginia at the Steven F Udzar-Hazy center. I’m a bit annoyed as my mom specifically asked me what I wanted to do for fun while we are here and the only thing i said was “I wanna see...
Small world indeed! When they first moved out there, they rented a house right between Spring Hill and Columbia. Then bought their house in culleoka about a year later. Beautiful piece of property and a beautiful house. I love visiting Columbia anytime I’m here. I love going into muletown coffee...
Mom and I grabbed our rental car and headed from middle Tennessee to Washington DC Saturday to spend a week helping her older brother, my uncle who lives here. He’s a learning handicapped adult and super kooky but probably one of my favorite relatives. He and I constantly annoy each other and...
Short little dance night Friday night a few minutes from my sisters house in culleoka with my sister, bro in law, her best friend from high school who drove in from Virginia to see the girls’ play, and my mom. Cool little joint. Not quite the same dance scene as I’m used to. First time this...
Bro in law bought a 2001 5.3 RWD extended cab sierra from his great aunt that belonged to his great uncle after he passed a handful of years ago. Been a good truck to the family. Runs good. He called a couple weeks ago asking why it might suddenly die on him while driving to work and I suggested...
I really do miss having them close by but makes the time I do get to spend in Tennessee with them and the times they get to come back and visit California that much sweeter.
Rained all day Sunday the 12th so got home and steamered down the Denali in the garage, and put him on the trickle charger. mom showed up an hour later, and we packed our suitcases into her jeep and headed for Ontario airport for a midnight flight out to Tennessee. Spent the last week in middle...
the husband half of the couple that owns the convention center where I teach line dancing passed a few weeks back from late stage stomach cancer after a very out of the blue diagnosis back in January. Super sad for the wife and their 19 year old daughter whom I’ve gotten close with over the last...
Alternator that came out of the Escalade is a factory Bosch one same as my factory one that came out of my truck. Currently on a trip helping my uncle sort out life stuff on the east coast and I plan to rebuild my factory alternator for piece of mind while I have it off and then throw it back...
Been a hectic month. Been working non stop since the last storm mess on the roads dried out handling detail work for clients. Denali had been running good except for a very annoying squeak coming out of the front drive belt and pulleys/tensioners. Swapped out the idler pulley, the top pulley and...
Yeah that’s the correct SUV Escalade third tail light base that will work on all the GMT800 Escalade hatches whether it’s a standard wheel base or ESV model. And the 2005/2006 hatch without the urethan trim surround is definitely the better of the two like you said. I had originally pulled my...
Yeah still confused cuz like I said my doors on my 2006 are set to lock as soon as so go out of work and they automatically unlock when I put it back in park. That being said carjacking in the mountains where I live is pretty much non existent. I don’t have to worry about it and my doors...
Oh maybe I misunderstood him. I knew that the 00-02 SUVs didn’t have that feature programmable because essentially the DIC doesn’t function like the DIC in the 03-06 clusters. I read it that his 2005 doesn’t have that feature even though he has the correct DIC screen menu options in the 2005...
My 2006 denali has all the door lock settings in the settings menu in the DIC within the cluster. I have them set to lock in gear and unlock when the truck goes in park. I know they can also be set not to unlock until the key comes out of the ignition and a few other ways. Yours doesn’t have...
I have 2002 Yukon wiper arms on my 2006 that I pulled from my local junkyard because I didn’t like not being able to leave them up while parked overnight during snowstorms and then having them freeze to the glass. Weird with how they did these wiper arms setup. The 2002 Escalade my buddy picked...
