I have a CrimeStopper Cool Start remote start installed in my car. The shop that did the work said that I needed additional boxes/modules to work with the newer style truck. Occasionally, when I press the remote start button, the car will just keep turning over for about 5-10 seconds, then stop and retry. The lock symbol flashes on my cluster. Even with the key in the ignition, the car will not start unless the key is left in the ignition in the run position for 10 minutes. I have been lazy about getting to the shop to get this repaired since it is about 30 min away and I haven't really used it recently (summertime :D) Just the other day, I inserted the key into the ignition and the same thing happened! I assumed this was a problem with the remote start module, but now it's doing it just when trying to start normally! Any reason why the remote start would work most of the time, but cause security errors like this occasionally? My dad has an 03 8.1L Suburban and my bro has a 03 TrailBlazer, both with remote start systems, and neither have this problem. Did the shop neglect to install the required equipment necessary for the 03+ trucks on mine?

Did the shop install a Passlock module-I don't see how they couldn't have? If not you need one, if so it sounds like it's not working correctly. Take it back to the shop.

You mean that the remote start doesn't work sometimes? Without a PassLock bypass, it shouldn't remote start.

 

I'd look into a DEI 555L or the previously mentioned ByPassKits unit.

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      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.
