I was told by circuit city that they won't install rear pillar speakers in a 1995 GMC Extended Cab because removing the plastic panels was risky (they might break). Anyone here removed these before? How did you go about it? Thanks for any help.

Take it over to another shop, I think you just got some guys that dont know what they are doing. They should just pop right out. I am not sure about a 95 but most of the ones I have seen do. :crazy:  :smash:

After talking with the guys at Circuit City I feel more comfortable installing the speakers myself. Thanks for the comment though.

Just go slow. What happens is people just pry/pull  on the panels and wait for the clips to pop, (may work on old door panels or kick panels but not these! ) Or usually they forget one is there and it WILL break the tabs off. I've seen it countless times.

 

Or take it to someone who knows exactly where each clip is and can pop them out right. Sometimes the clips will come off the panel and stay in the body or vice versa. Be sure to look for all clips before you reinstall the panel. Even if one breaks, the panels should stay on fine. Just go slow and easy!

Those body style extended cabs panels are tricky to remove/replace.  Basically, the whole back side panel has to come out.  They are MUCH harder than the ones on the newer styles.  I have had the GM dealership break two panels in two different trucks (94 and 95's) of that bodstyle while trying to remove/replace them.  If I were you I would just put bass blockers on the stock speakers or just forego replacing them altogether.

When I owned my shop i had a similar policy, I would do the job, but the client was responsible for new clips or breakage. I only did this on this model as well as older explorer rear panels. They would almost always break, and yes I am familiar with placement of clips and was very careful.

      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.
