Hello,

 

My work van Is an 05 GMC Savana with the 6.0 V8. And i was wondering if there was any way to find out if the truck cam from the factory with remote start? I decoded the vin but it didnt tell me any thing about keyless entry (Witch It Does have) and it also hase three side cargo doors that you have to use the FOB to open (there are two on the driver side and one on the passenger side they are for acessing the storage racks in the back of the van, they are factory installed refeer to link in bottom of post for a picture) and the FOB has 4 buttons, a lock botton, and three buttons for the cargo doors, witch have no handles and can only be 'popped' open with the FOB.

 

Now i was looking at the FOB for it and the FOB for my 07 Silverado and it looks to me that maybe they just ran out of room for the Start Button on the FOB.

 

SO really My questions are three fold

 

1. What is the fastest way to tell if it has remote start?

 

2. Could i just program another normal fob to the truck and test it? Would that mess with any fob that might be programed to the truck?

 

3. And If the truck didnt come with remote start how hard is it to add it? Like is it just a simple reconfigure of the computer or just add a module and a fuse to wires that are allready in the loom, or will i have to go out and buy a full aftermarket kit?

Factory remote start was not available untill later on, say 2008? No GM accessory either. Aftermarket would be the only option on a 2005.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
