Xm Subscription Cost

OK so $$ is tight with the economy so I’m asking about XM subscription deals out there. On my 2004 I paid for several years in advance and I thought it was over $10 a month.

 

When I got the 2010 I let the free trial go and ignored all the mailing and phone calls about renewing. Today I got a letter offering me 1 year for $77. I can go for that.

 

I searched the forum and see the $77 is not a new thing. So I’m wondering if there are any other special codes or offers out there? Maybe throw in Howard or NFL?

 

I was pretty happy with the XM, until I read up on this site and wiki. They throw in commercials on XM but not Sirius? I always thought there was some mis-cues. Anyways I’ll pry open my wallet, and after George Washington’s eyes get use to the light I’ll send off 77 of them to renew my XM.

here's a hint: they will only give you the $77 deal if you pay with a credit card. at that point they automatically put your card on file and set you up for auto renewal at the "current market price", this is the only reason I have no XM subscription now, they are unscrupulous and I won't deal with a company that operates like that.

I pay $23.05 total every 5 months. They said I can keep renewing it every 5 months at that rate.

 

Here's the way I got it: I called XM to cancel, they asked why I wanted to cancel and I said because it's too expensive. They offered me the $77 deal and I said no thanks, I'd like to cancel. I believe they also offered me another deal which I passed on. Finally they asked if I would renew for 5 months at $23.05 and I said okay. Then they told me I could continue to renew it at that rate every 5 months. I'm on my second cycle at this rate now.

 

You have to be prepared to cancel your service. If you don't get offered what you feel to be a reasonable deal, go ahead and cancel it. I had all intentions of cancelling but I felt like $23.05 for 5 months was a reasonable price for the service, any more than that and I can live without it.

This is true. They will bill you automatically when your current subscription ends, even if you tell them not to. It happened to me and it took several phone calls and emails but I did get my money back. With Sirius or XM (same company anyway) be prepared for either a long term relationship or a battle when you try to end it. Man, sounds like marrage. I just turned my Sirius account back on. I like the service. I will call to cancel at the end of the current year at which point they will offer the $77 deal again to keep me. Pretty much S.O.P. for them.

I had gotten the $77 deal also about 4-5 months ago. Last month I was having trouble with my service so while I was on the phone with them, I asked for my linked credit card to be taken off the account. She was able to do it.

 

I'd advise you guys doing this once you lock in your deal.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By RSTRICK · Posted

      I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6.2 liter engine, Vin: 2GC4YME79R1273849, with 27,437 miles. Recently we took a trip from Candor, NY to Townsend, TN pulling our fifth wheel, when I got close to the Townsend, TN area The truck gave me a message of low oil. I checked the dip stick and found it was 2 quarts low. Today, August 27, 2026, I had the oil changed and the technician Found the truck was very low on oil.  Is there a Recall for this? What is my recourse for this issue? Do I call the dealer where I bought it or any chevy dealer?   Robert Strickland 292 Owego Road Candor, NY 13743 352-502-6588 [email protected]

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That is the funnel kit I bought and for being here in Canada I did get a better deal than what other sources were charging through a certain supplier in town that sources more directly and they ordered it for me. There are other items now on the market which would be perfect as well but this has worked well which was the hope when I bought it. I mentioned the Amsoil quart bottles as they have that squarish shape up top and it props nicely on the rim of the opening without falling into the funnel so I can leave them sit and drip a bit. You may have already figured out that to get the cap off the valve cover unless one is 7 + feet tall its not going to be reached without standing on a step of some sort and so when I do that I put the right adapter in and just leave the elbow on the funnel all the time anyway and open the lid and then if using quart containers for sure I can stand beside the truck and leisurely add the oil, and I can leave that funnel on when starting the engine to let it idle to fill the filter and then add the rest of the oil to top it up before removing the funnel and putting the factory cap back on. I put the cap back on the top and slide the bottom cap on as it fits onto the elbow adapter also and then store the funnel in a clean household plastic garbage bag along with the adapter so I have no reason to be washing out the inside of the funnel as I keep it completely clean between uses.    Draining the oil as per the under the truck portion, yes indeed that is slick as someone was thinking on GM's part there and admittedly I don't drop the oil screaming hot in this truck due to the exhaust being there and makes it safer as far as the oil temp if its just warmed up some instead as I don't have the truck on any ramps etc as I do it as the tires sit on the garage floor. The filter is not boiling hot then either and can drop it off into another pail after pulling the drain plug and just leave it drip out. Go back under a few hours later with new filter in hand and clean off the filter base and put the new filter on and install the drain plug. The filter is a little cramped in there as per wrapping ones hand around the filter and I am so used to using the band style filter removal tool that its no big deal and same for snugging it up. My filter wrench is many years old now but I think this is the current version and sounds like the right size, just in case my explanation was not great ( those nylon strap wrenches that one tool fits all filters are not my favorite tool to use, I much prefer this style personally )     57020 Swivel Gripper - No Slip Filter Wrench - Small | Lisle Corporation   And again about the oil draining and filter setup under these GM trucks, I've watched Ford videos of them struggling with oil flying sideways out of the oil pan on the gas 7.3 due to the sideways drain plug onto other components or cross members and guys trying to make shields out of carboard etc and other Ford pickups that Ford insisted they have sideways drain plugs. One win for GM there anyway with this engine.

      Kind of off topic, wife drives a 2023 Yukon Denali with the 3.0, been a great rig so far, incredible fuel economy for a truck that big and heavy. Coming up on 50000 trouble free miles.

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I`m gonna try some of this in my 2000 LM7 that has had the famous piston slap since 17,000 miles or so. I have used Mopar combustion chamber cleaner down the spark plug holes a few times in the past. Corrects the problem for a few months or so. Then returns. GM top engine cleaner has been used also. No good results from this.   This LM7 never used oil. Even running the piss out of it.   Course, I`m gonna use this in my 2025 L84 while it`s still clean. It`s got 13,000 miles. Used Chevron fuel system cleaner [2 bottles in tank] a tank or 2 ago.
