Cool forum....just stumbled upon it looking for info to upgrade the less than stellar stock stereo in my '05 Tahoe. I just bought the '05 to replace an '01 that was totalled. I had the amp by-pass going in the '01.....quite an improvement....and easy to do. I'm looking for any suggestions as to how to get this new one to sound better. It's the Bose premium with 6 disc in dash, and no XM. I have a Sirius portable that I'd like to connect, as well.

 

I'm assuming I can accomlish that with the PAC AAI-GM24. I'd love to hear about other ways to improve the sound. Will the C2A-GM24 work to add a second amp? If so, can you recommend one to help me improve the sound? I'm a bit of a rookie with this, but managed to do the bypass on the last one by myself. Help!

 

Thanks for the help,

 

Brad

What do you mean by an 'amp by-pass'? I just bought an '02 Yukon, love the truck, but the radio is pathetic. I'm looking for ways to improve while keeping the stock head unit.

Here's the link to the by-pass procedure in another thread on this site. I had originally found it on another site and I can attest to the fact that the sound improvement is excellent. Don't know if it will work on the Yukon. I did mine on an '01 Tahoe.

 

I'd strongly recommend trying this before you spend any additional money on anything else.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
