So my 90 days of free sirus expired and they wanted over 120 to renew. All this on the internet and I mention internet as that there is no negotiations on the net. Tried to get a real voice and tell them I also have sirus on a portable box capable in any vehicle with a ciggareete lighter. Reason I tell this is because I figured two subscriptions would get a better price. Well, no one played ball with Me so it ran out on the truck. (90 days chevy....ford/mopar lots longer)

 

Anyone with a suggestion...heard there is a deal for 79 dollars but sirus hasn't heard of it yet. Thanks to all in advance.

Just cancel and they'll send you all kind of offers. I did back in 08 and used one of their promo's (come back or something) and all I pay is $20 + some dumb artist tax which is about $23 for 5 months of basic service.

 

Every 5 months I call and tell them I want cancel unless I can get the same deal. They've given it to me for the past 10 months. But it's basic, no stern/nfl/internet radio.

Yes I just want the tunes....HS is crap....but they want 140+ for renewal and now I'll just use My portable and cross that bridge in December...It's more convenient to have it also in the truck but I can live with the portable

so they stopped the service and have yet to call...it's no biggie as I'll use My portable and check into the cost of installing a docking system on this radio. Most likely cheaper to do this.

I had reception problems with the factory XM set up in my Sierra. I just renewed with Sirius. Not sure why but no reception problems with them. I Put a dock in each of my vehicles and share one plug and play unit. Also have the home kit and a boom box set up. Nice to be able to use the subscription in so many ways. When I reactivated the subscription they gave me one year at $77. No matter who you go with always push for a deal and threaten to cancel at the end of your subscription. As others have stated, that's when the deals really come out.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
