I would think that you would be able to pry them off, unless they are held by a screw. anybody else want to chime in?

Im sure that you cant pry them off. The radio needs to be removed and the faceplate also. anybody else have an idea?

my knobs were worn too on my 04 and i took it to the dealer to replace the whole radio but they could not get the new radio programmed. they ended up pulling the knobs and replacing them. just give them a firm tug and they will come off...............

Same problem on our 2004. But what are the part #'s for the two big knobs? They look bad, and since I now know the little parts alone are orderable....I definitely will do so.

 

So...part numbers?

I purchased the knobs / rocker buttons from a company called Specmo. thier # 1-810-744-2940. I paid $ 10.00 for each knob and $ 10.00 for shipping. They had the parts to me in 4 days. If you have the 6 disc cd player the GM part # for the radio is 15196055, which will come in handy when ordering. They say the worn knobs are very common. I still am looking for a reply from someone that can give me some information on how to change them. Id like to be armed with some info before i jump into taking the radio apart.

Ah, okay, they must be the supplier.

 

I too think they should just pull off, but what do the knobs in person (the new ones) look like they do? There's 2 pieces, the outer rotating one and the inner button...so what does it look like on the back?

The inner knob has two little " L " shaped legs that prevent it from pulling off the radio. It looks to me that i need to squeeze them by wrapping a string around the back of the knob between the radio faceplate and the knob tight enough to depress the legs and then pull it off. I will try to get going on this sat or sun and let you know how i made out

Yeah, it's hard to tell without ever having seen the back of the knobs, etc., so hopefully it works easily for you and then we'll all know.

 

Are the things you got just the center "faces" or those AND the outside spinning ribbed part?

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
