I just replaced my old cd changer (Pioneer CDXFM-128 12 Disc FM Modulated Changer), with another Pioneer FM modulated one.  It's a CDX-FM677.  This one is a 6 disc changer.

The reason I went with this one, is we were looking at getting a cd player for my wifes car (it only has cassette), and was looking at keeping it under $150.  I found this at Sears on clearance for $139.  So, we're going to put the 12 disc in her car, and I put this one in the truck yesterday.  The only real difference is it a 6 disc changer, plus it has controls on the display unit, but also comes with a small, thin remote.  Best of all, I was able to fit it in the center console, where the 12 disc wouldn't.  The display is mounted in the same location as the old one.  I'll try to get some pics of it soon.  :D

Thanks.  I felt it was a good deal.

 

It was a little tricky getting the changer mounted in the center console so that i would be able to remove it fairly easy, and be able to tighten down the 4 bolts that hold the console to the floor.  That part took me far longer than anything else, including the removing the old one.  As a matter of fact, i just installed it in my wife's car tonight.  Still need to mount the display more securely.  I ran out of daylight, so it's just laying in the console for now.  :D

      Mobil up another dime this am , $3.89, others will probably go up later. Any ideas on the reason for the increase other than greed? I've been working 14 hour days and haven't caught the news in a few days.

      AMSOIL SS is about prevention and it is very good at it's job. I've never seen it claim to be a cleaner however like Valvoline R&P. Almost any oil that has some Ester or Alkylated Naphthalene in sufficient quantity will do a good job at keeping the rings functional.     I see the market splint among these types in two groups; those that use the same tech in every weight grade and those that reserve the tech for the EPA (EPA) friendly grades. Mobil 1 for example keeps the Advanced Clean chemistry out of the SAE 40 and up weights. Other like HPL (top shelf group and No-VII), Red Line HP, TORCO, MPT30K use the tech in all grades. Just not something the Wally World oils are into.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      True. My statement needs qualification. "For a shade tree mechanic, re-assembling the front engine to achieve a rough baseline timing of 0 degrees, as is approximated and indicated by common visual indicator mark alignment, measured with a human eye capable of 20/20 vision *with correction, I am reasonably confident that I have followed the outlined procedures/ prescribed methods for verifying baseline timing."   😉   In the end, the computer sets the timing, it's continuously variable based on sensor input, and the distributor only has a degree or two of physical adjustability intended for dialing in the final setting for cam ****** once everything is back together. But even that final value is acceptable within, I believe, +/- 3 degrees.   I thought my exhaust project was going to be a bear. To my surprise, the old clamps came right off last night, and I was able to unbolt all the hangers instead of having to muscle the rubber mounts. The old cat is ready to slip off the factory y-pipe. The rest is ready to come out with one or two cuts, and I've got a fresh blade waiting. I love living where rust isn't a thing.
