So this afternoon on my way home (in my 00 Silverado) I was thinking I need to turn my radio up cause my window's were down. Then I knoticed the left side front and rear speakers were not working. They magically came back on, off and back on again. Does anyone have any ideas? It's a factory radio and speakers.

Don't know if there's any particular issue with this body style, but I know in other vehicles, it's been due to loose wires in the door panels or a loose harness. Or it could be that the amp is going out in the headunit. I know, pretty vague---but I'd pull the radio out and make sure all your connections are tight. Factory radios are known for being problematic.

I have an 07 with the same issue. I took off the door panel and checked the power of the wires running to the speakers and I had power. I then had a friend bring speakers home from work and found 1 with the same connection and plugged it into my speaker harness and the speaker worked. I would suggest you start there. Check out crutchfield if you end up needing new speakers. They throw in the wiring harness and mounting brackets free and you might qualify for free shipping. A much better deal than bestbuy. :lol:

I'm thinking it is a wiring harness issue. Today, all four speakers went out for a short time...maybe 30 sec-1 min. Then thecame back and it played a back and fourth game from sided to side.

If you're still running all of the stock gear my money is on the radio....the only common factor in the wiring harness would be where it's plugged in behind the radio so check and make sure it's not loose. I'm surprised the factory speakers are still working at all actually. When it was doing it's back and forth thing was anything unusual happening on the headunit display?

on the radio subject the light for my vol/pwr button/knob is out. is there anyway to replace the bulb? i am guessing no since they are probably LED's. it just upsets me that 40k miles and the bulbs are burned out! i really dont want to replace the unit for this one issue but everytime i drive at night i see that missing light(or dont see it) and it bugs me to no end.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?
