Hey gents,

 

 

Just wondering what I can expect from my USB port? Am I basically only looking at the ability to play my IPOD.

Theres no capability is there for the truck to play media from a Flash drive is there? Im just thinking is I had a

16 GB flash drive loaded with songs would that auto play or no? Does the info screen on the truck allow you to view items on anything, like folders and such?

 

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply!!!!

 

I wonder if it makes a difference that I dont have the DVD display.

Does anyone know if it will still allow me to search folders/ brown date on the drive?

The usb will play a flash drive burned with mp3 or wma files. You can search files, folders and playlist. I have 16gb flash burned in a lossless format at about 420kbs and it plays fine. I tried a lossless around 900kbs and it would not play it. I really dont know why but it seems 420 is about all it can handle.Also I have the dvd radio in mine so I search on screen.When you burn the flash you can arrange the information shown on screen ie; title,track, album, whatever.

Not sure what you mean by this. The radio only reads from the USB you cant change anything only select files,folders or playlist. I have a factory Nav/DVD unit.

Im sorry im referring to if you DO NOT have the nav/dvd option. Just the regular stereo with the USB can you still from the head unit change folders and playlists while your ipod is hooked up?

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
