Welcome to the site, I hope you post more pictures when you get them. I love the truck, black is my favorite color. the stereo looks great and the custom box in the back is a great idea. Do the back of the seats hit the box when they are upright?  Nice Rims, very similar to mine.

Welcome!!

Very nice truck. I also really like those bumpers.

How do you like the Sirrus radio? I'v been thinking of getting the Sirrus or XM. What are some of your favorite stations?

Again, welcome aboard. :thumbs:  :thumbs:

Thanks for the responses, guys. To answer your questions, I live on a commercial cattle ranch outside of Livingston, Texas.(Jen: sorry to do this to ya, but...Hook 'em Horns!!! ;) )

 

rrsob: I really like the Sirius system, though many go with XM since it costs less per month ($9.95 vs 12.95/mo), but I'm really not into NASCAR, which is a big push with XM. Sirius has three orbiting satellites vs XM's two, thereby enhancing signal quality. One of the big decision factors for me was the total absence of commercials with Sirius (XM does have some commercial airplay). It was worth it to me to pay an extra 3 bucks a month for that alone!

 

2000LTZ71: No, the back seat does not hit the speakers (but comes really close!). The system was designed and installed by a really talented guy at Car Toys in Humble, Texas. He's a real artist when it comes to high-end installations, and let me tell you, this system really ROCKS... :thumbs:

 

I'll post more pics as I get them...thanks again, and you guys have a great forum!

dmaxdiva,

 

 Thanks for the reply on the speaker box, I've been looking for something to go with my Mobile video system in my truck to add the low end of things. Your box looks great, Tell your installer that he did an excellent job. I may take the picture to my guy and see if he can do the same. I know what you mean by not wanting to listen to commercials on the radio, that's why I bought a 30 gigabite Hard drive MP3 player, it holds 9000 songs and you can sort them by artist,genre,or just about anyway you can emagine. you can see it on my picture trail site from the link in my signature. it's the best part of my system which includes DVD,CD,Mp3, with a motorized flip out screen.

Well thanks again and enjoy this site, Loads of great people with great ideas and knowledge.

Wow, Randy! Great truck...

 

I don't think you'd have any trouble fitting a box like that in your x-cab...as far as I know they (CC's and Ex-C's) are similar behind the seats.

 

On a side note, I had to take the truck to Car Toys yesterday because the MB Quarts in the rear doors weren't working. Well, it turns out that the JL Audio amp had blown two rear channels (they said that this amp was the first 500w/5ch they'd had to replace). Well, the system is back up and running and sounding better than ever!

 

Good luck with the "sub hunt"... ;)

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      2006 Silverado HVAC sensor location in dashboard

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
