im asking this for a 2009 chevy express cargo,

but my insides are exactly the same in the 07+ 900 sierras and silverados.

 

my cargo van came with the base non aux, non cd radio and i want to swap it out for a aux cd play with the cat button.

 

thanks everyone.

I am pretty sure that your dash is not the same as the True Truck dash that is in the GMT-900s. I just looked it up on chevy.com and they don't look the same. I think this is because the styling of the van was done long ago and used to share components with the GMT-800s

the bezel and such around the radio is pretty much the same, i just need to know how this panel comes off, it looks like all one piece.

 

i have the whole same dash cluster, and radio,switches, only thing shared from 800s is the design as in cubby holes and such, not the pieces.

I took a picture of it and I'm having trouble posting it with my blackberry. Will post it tonight when I get home.

 

Thanks

Be careful if you plan to put an OEM AM/FM/CD unit in place of the AM/FM. I tried doing that and wasted my money because the unit with the CD came from a truck with a separate factory amp and my work truck didn't have an amp. The dealer called Delphi and it wasn't possible to upgrade the truck to make it the same as if it had been equipped with the amp/CD combo. I wound up getting an aftermarket radio with the adapter wiring harness module so the chimes, etc would still work.

I am not exactly sure how to remove this, but because the dash that is behind that panel is the same as the GMT-800s I would assume that you just pull lightly on the passenger side toward the handle. You then need the put the steering wheel and shifter as far down as they will go and continue pulling the dash free while working your way toward the driver's side.

 

Like I said this is an assumption based on previous knowledge that the truck is based on GMT-800 tech.

 

Hopefully someone one here will know for sure.

the steering wheel is non tilt, also there is no factory amp, this is the most base model of the base model u can get lol.

 

as u can tell the radio is the cheapest one.

 

i have found out that installing the OEM cd/aux mp3 doesnt require reprogramming either, perhaps these dont even have the extras in the system for the theft lock stuff.. had a friend that did this with a base sierra from his work.

 

i will see what i can do, there has to be tabs and such from behind there.

 

thanks for the help everyone, if anyone finds out more info let me know, ill let you know what i find out and how it does come apart.

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

      By Z45 · Posted

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      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.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
