I installed XM a couple of weeks ago and I am so happy with it.I never realized what I was missing.I could kick myself for not installing it sooner. :thumbs: Just wondering what other peeps think about it.

I never thought I'd be willing to pay for "radio" but now that I have it, you could yank my AM, FM and CD player and I wouldn't care. :thumbs::dunno:

Same here. I have had mine for about 1 1/2 years and absolutely love XM. I just installed a Pioneer 6500 unit and the Pioneer 910XM receiver. Total integration. Very nice setup. When I'm on a long trip, I can listen to the news, weather, sports, etc., anytime. And, I love fooling around with the different music channels.

 

I had my 78 year old mother come to the truck and put the channel to the 40s channel and she sat in the truck for nearly an hour, listening to the music of her era.

yeah XM is definalty worth it. People complain about paying for the radio, but when your driving in the middle of no where, you can't beat it. I drove cross country, and I lost the signal once for an extended period of time, and that was for about three minutes driving down a mountain near mount rushmore.

You can't beat the r rated comedy channel either, I think it's 150.....that thing has almost caused a couple of accidents I was laughing so hard.

Same here...The comedy channel has never failed to pull me out of a bad mood on the way home from a bad day at work.....now the wife just thinks I'm loosing my mind because I'll randomly burst into laughter as I remember a show... :thumbs:

When they finally get the kinks worked out with integrating it with the builtin Bose system/Onstar etc. I would love to try it as well.

Whacha mean? My unit is the Bose system with both Onstar and XM radio. I've never had any problems with my system...

 

Are you talking about an aftermarket unit?

Sorry was unclear, ya adding an aftermarket XM receiver to my Bose system since it didn't come with XM from the factory... I'd rather go all factory but heard it is like $900+ to switch out the radio so will pass on that..

You can add a aftermarket XM Radio receiver and have it work like a factory setup. Go to Adding XM to Bose I am in the process of installing the Soundgate adapter now I already have the pioneer XM Radio receiver. :cheers: You will also be able to tune it through the steering wheel controls. If you add both units mentione in the above Thread

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
