Although it may not be the cheapest/wisest way to go, I am thinking about installing an OEM rear entertainment overhead DVD system in my new 2005 CC 2500HD. I tried desperately to buy one with it installed, but it was near impossible to find one.

 

Does anyone know that part number(s)?

Not to disuade your plans, have you thought about aftermarket with headrest monitors? I like factory as much as anyone, but I figure this would be the option I would elect, for around $500-700, with more usefulness. The monitors can be used for vid games etc.

You made a good suggestion and I am still considering that option. Whichever route I go, I want the rear DVD to fully integrate with my GM head unit (soon to be touch screen nav). I don't want to play the DVD audio over an FM station. It sucks when you travle long distances because you get intereference with local radio stations. I have a 2005 Land Cruiser and that is how the two systems integrate.

I would be wanting to listen to xm while the kids play. I can't ever see myself watching tv on the road, or listening to it. Also depending on how many slave devices you already have, integrating to the HU via factory class II bus might be a problem, though I'm really not sure.

 

Do you think you can do it without pulling down the headliner? You will need a harness that I am guessing is not present in the built vehicle.

 

Any idea how much rear view mirror is impeded?

Sometimes the kids would rather not wear the wireless headphones and that's when I play it over the stereo speakers.

 

Yes, the headliner would have to come down and there have been some that have actually replaced it. But with some mods to the DVD unit this would not be necessary. There is a thread on this site or Diesel Place by a guy who did the full OEM install. I'll try to find it again and post it on this thread.

 

I am guessing that the rear view would be impeded somewhat. Perhaps someone who has one will chime in?

Please keep us up to date on this install. I am looking at a 2005 Suburban and thinking of getting a oem dvd player for it. Have you looked on Ebay for the dvd players?

I'm looking to do the same thing but with a twist. I'd like to install a portable dvd player and have it play through the OEM radio. Does this sound possible? Thanks, Joe

It should be possible if you buy one of those relatively cheap FM modulators. I think they're made to plug into the cigarette lighter for power and you just connect the audio out from the DVD player to it, then tune the radio station to whatever frequency the modulator uses.

 

As far as not wanting to use the DVD over an FM station goes (directing this one at Torque)- I had a similar setup (2 headrest monitors, overhead infrared transmitter for wireless headphones, FM modulator) in the 2003 Trailblazer that worked great and wasn't subject to interference anywhere I ever travelled. The FM frequency was in the 80's, and the modulator was one of the in-line type that wires between the antenna and the stereo. Theoretically it completely overrode the antenna when I switched it on. The installer did a nice job with it too, including placing the on-off switch for the modulator in an easily accessible location on the dash, where it looked nearly factory. With this setup all I had to do to listen to music while the kids watched DVDs was have them put on the headphones, flip the on-off switch off, then tune to a regular station (or switch to CD, etc.). BTW, the headphones were always "on".

      Very interesting thread. Definitely didn’t expect to see this kind of mileage out of that engine.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
