Hello, I am looking to upgrade the am/fm radio in my 2007 nnbs 1500 w/t. I am looking to upgrade to either one with a cd player or one with cd play and mp3 port. I was wondering if the radio out of the 99 to 06 would work in the truck. I have looked at aftermarket radios and don't like the look of em. Thank you.

No,The GMT800 trucks used totally different radios than the GMT900 trucks do.

As a matter of fact even the GMT800 trucks used two different radios that are non-interchangeable ('99-'02 used one style,'03-'07 used another)

I knew the radios were different, but didnt know if they could be swapped. Sorry for putting this in the wrong spot, after posting it, thought maybe it should of gone in the audio section. Thank you.

Yeah,the GMT900's use a different electrical system than the GMT800's do,and like before even the GMT800 's used two different electrical systems over the years.

Since I am going from the plain am/fm radio to a cd or the us8, is there anything that I will have to do, besides get the vin for a dealer unlock the radio? Thank you.

I believe the VIN should be good enough,I know that our guys have had issues reprogramming used radios in the past though,so don't be surprised if they run into a problem programming it.

Thanks you. What kind of problems did they have, just so I know what i may possibly be in for.

 

Sometimes they just couldn't get the radios to program.

this may sound odd, but the replacement radio, does it have to be from a silverado/sierra? Or would any 07 up us8 radio work?

Like this one? radio Thank you.

 

Not sure on that one,some radios of the same model type/design,even though they have different part numbers,are interchangeable.

The only thing I can tell you is to try it and see,other than that I have no part number cross-over listing. Sorry. :fume:

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
