I got the 3 months free when I bought my truck in mid September, so how is it I renew when that is up? Do they call or something? Ive never used sat radio in my own car before.

They usually send you a letter to renew; I received several letters. I generally look in my online account and call them just before it needs renewing and tell them that I don't use it very much and am thinking about canceling. Usually this begins the promo discussion and if not, I have up and try another agent. There are always "promos" of one sort or another to save $$

You'll get a letter in the mail and they'll usually call you at least 2-3 times a day as well. They're desperate for subscribers. Tell them you don't think the service is worth the money or you're aren't listening to it often and they'll make you a deal to stay subscribed.

Its like $25 for 6 months. Only pay by check never give them your credit card or they will automatically charge you $20 a month. Just keep telling them Pandora is cheaper till they give you the good price.

If you only have a six month package they wont even let you know about the renew and just suck the money out of your card unless you contact them first. Just tell them that it is too expensive and they will give you a special like $99 a year. With the yearly contract they will start sending you a reminder about two months out for around $185 a year. Just call them again and say you don't want it and they will go down to $99 again.

 

I just got a new GMC sierra and so far it's just three months free but I asked before I even purchased the truck about the free year because I heard the add on the radio and they said that it should kick in when the truck fully goes thru the GM records process.

I had a free 6 month trial when I bought my truck. I think xm sound quality was poor. They always call trying to get me to subscribe. They will try and trick you by giving you a cheap rate for a while and then automatically renew at full price. Not the kind of company I want to do business with.

You also have to listen carefully to the people you are talking to. You are usually talking to somebody in a call center in India. The last time I called to renew I couldn't understand what the hell they were saying so I asked to be transferred to the US and after going through 2 more overseas call center people they finally transferred me to someone who could speak English.

3 month trial which I am still on.... Funny as the 2 new Ford trucks I have had recently and the 2015 Tundra nobody has called me from either XM or Sirius about either..This stupid Chev though was netting close to daily hounding from XM about renewal. Finally the last one that called a couple weeks ago asked me what I thought of my new service.... told her I have been a sirius subscriber since 2004 so there is nothing new about it. No phone calls or mail since then and I am good with that. I will probably hook it up though as terrestrial radio basically doesn't exist here.

$25 for six months is not bad, I will gladly pay that. Mine runs out about mid December so guess Ill be hearing from them in the next few weeks.

Just check your mailbox. You'll probably receive about 6 notices your XM is about to expire within a month. And your email...

When you renew on one of these XM plans, are they just radio, or do you get the data services (weather, etc.) as well when you get the 6 months for $25?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      My office is slowly filling with Blazer parts. Getting ready to do the big bang of repairs. Intake (second time), water pump, radiator, hoses, and I'm going to re-seal the timing cover where someone went hog wild with silicone. Might as well, because I don't think that's done right.   There's a local tow yard that I didn't realize also has quite the inventory of junk vehicles. This is an old school junkyard. No waivers. Cash only, you were never here if anyone asks. Don't piss off the owner, or you'll end up in the back of one of those cars, headed for the shredder. And if you see something, don't snitch. Cars stacked double high, wasps nests, trip hazards and junk everywhere. I found a few little odds/ends for my Blazer. The $20 I spent was worth the experience alone. But I was never there. What yard?   I officially love/hate this truck. It's so out of my wheelhouse, roughest vehicle I've ever owned. Every. single. repair. -is so hard-fought, everything that can go wrong, goes wrong. Currently in a hate phase, and kind of wish I was closer to sending it down the road with a lucky new owner, to be honest. Preparing for the day when I tear into this thing...lots of pre-funk with Ibuprofen.   Rock Auto sent me a bad reman rear wiper motor. It was a bear to install. The tailgate in these things has about eleventy-billion fastners and pieces and things that need to be uninstalled/moved just to access the shoddy rear wiper motor. The casing on mine was cracked clean through, btw. Nice, GM, nice. SO I got this new motor installed, hit the switch, I see it wig-wag (without the arm installed) and think I'm golden. Reassemble everything. With the wiper arm installed I gave it one final test. Time to clean up and take the other half out to dinner, collect a paycheck, right?   Nope. I hear the plastic worm gear stripping as the arm hung up. Just like my broken motor. Weak/old and shredding itself internally. I can assist the arm and the range of motion is normal, and it parks correctly. It just doesn't have the poop to actually sweep the arm with a blade on it. Oh, hell. Turned the key off and shut the shop door behind me. I get to do that over again, too.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
