Hey guys, I've got an 05 Sierra Crew Z71 5.3 and was wondering if anyone else with the 05 Sierra/Silverado models have been experiencing problems with their radio? My radio works fine but my CD player doesn't engage and feed my CD's.

I called the dealership and of course they'll fix it, but they said that I have to come in and have the radio taken out and then shipped in for repairs. Needless to say they advised me that I'll be without a radio for two to three days while the radio is shipped for repairs. What kind of crap is this? Can't they just order a new one and when it is in, call me and install the d**n thing. It only takes like an hour or so.

 

d**n dealerships cutting corners!

 

Should I just get an aftermarket CD players with all the accesories to keep the door chimes through the speakers and that wiring harness to keep the steering wheel controls? Or do you think that aftermarket CD players look cheesy?

I had a similar problem with my 6-CD Changer Bose system in my 03 Silverado...I toook it to the dealer and they shipped it out to have it fixed and then i had to put it back in. It wasnt tought just dissapointing. However, overall i like the stcok system they put in with that system

Your dealer can order an "Advanced Exchange Unit" Radio.

That way your not without a radio,We do it all the time here,I just ordered one a few minutes ago for an '04 Silverado for a customer,They usually ship them overnight to us.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
