Is anybody else having a problem with the paint wearing off their factory stereo buttons? I have an '04 GMC Sierra 2500HD with factory bose head unit, and the 1-6 station preset buttons are almost worn blank! My dealer refuses to do anything - the dreaded "trim item" answer...

Fixed with aftermark unit and wireless remote :thumbs:

 

Seriously, maybe some model paint and stencle (sp?) stickers is whats left. If the future maybe cover the buttons with some screen cling or some scotch tape since you press the buttons alot.

I have it happening to my power button of all things....the guy who had my truck first sure liked to turn the radio on and off I guess.

If the power button/knob is all you need you can buy those from the dealer....about 8 dollars a piece i think...and at one point i found somewhere online where you could buy new buttons....dont have the link now though sorry.

Had the same problems with my radio, the black was wearing off on the high touch areas. Then the CD player broke and I just got a replacement off of EBay. I put it in and then had to take it to the dealership and have it programed for my vehicle/VIN #.

I would think that as long as it is the radio for the 07 classic it would work. I don't know if there is a difference between the 07 NBS and te 07 classic.

 

 

From the pics of the actual unit I have seen, there looks to be very little difference.

 

I haven't seen the wiring Jacks, and I am not sure on size, but the mounting points look like they'd fit. Would be really sweet to have a NBS stereo though....that Aux jack is awesome.

 

Does the 07 classic have an Aux jack in front?

Just had my radio replaced under warranty because of wear on the buttons. The dealer told me that they had to replace the whole unit because you can't replace the buttons.

Maybe I'll try a different dealer...

The paint wear is a known issue on those Delphi radio buttons. The dealer should replace the unit, as long as you are under warranty.

 

As for the 07 radio: the NBS radio is not compatible with the 07 Classic Silvy or the older MY trucks. Also, there is no aux jack on the old Delphi unit. :sigh:

      Conditions for Meeting a Cold Start   The ignition voltage is between 10 and 15 V. The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 75 kPa. The engine coolant temperature (ECT) at start-up is less than 42°C (108°F). The intake air temperature (IAT) is between 2–32°C (36–90°F). The engine is OFF for greater than 6 hours or the following conditions must be met: The start-up IAT minus start-up ECT are within 12°C (22°F). The start-up ECT minus start-up IAT are within 50°C (90°F). Fuel level is between 25 and 75 %.   Circuit/System Verification Verify that all I/M System Status indicators report YES, and that no I/M Test DTCs are present.If any I/M Test DTCs are set Refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. If no I/M Test DTCs are set All OK. Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Set Procedure   Warning: Refer to Road Test Warning. Note: Do NOT touch the accelerator pedal until told to do so. A change in TP Sensor angle or an increase in engine speed may invalidate this portion of the test.   Note: An I/M Test DTC will not be stored or erased from the ECU except at the end of trip processing, which occurs 5 s after ignition OFF.   Ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start listed above. If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, perform the EVAP Service bay test if applicable. Turn OFF all of the accessories; HVAC system, other electrical loads, including aftermarket/add-on equipment, etc., and open the hood.   Set the vehicle parking brake and ensure the vehicle is in park for automatic transmission or neutral for manual transmission.   Start and idle the engine for 2 min.   Close the hood, release the parking brake and Accelerate at part throttle to 72–80 km/h (45–50 mph) with this speed maintained until the engine reaches operating temperature, 8–10 min.   Continue operation under these conditions for an additional 6 min.   Accelerate at part throttle to 90 km/h (55 mph) with this speed maintained for 2 min.   Release the accelerator pedal for at least 10 s. This will allow the vehicle to enter the decel fuel cut off.   Safely stop the vehicle, with the engine in drive for automatic or neutral with the clutch pedal depressed and parking brake applied for manual. Allow the vehicle to idle for 2 min.   Shift the vehicle to park for automatic and neutral for manual. Turn OFF the ignition and exit the vehicle. Do NOT disturb the vehicle for 45 min.   Observe the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System Status with a scan tool. All of the I/M System Status indicators should display YES.   If the EVAP I/M System Status indicator displays NO, turn OFF the ignition, ensure that the vehicle meets the conditions for a cold start, and repeat steps 6-11 three more times, or until the EVAP I/M System Status indicator transitions to YES. If the indicator continues to display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table to identify the DTCs that did not run.   If any of the I/M System Status indicators display NO, refer to the Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) System DTC Table for the indicator which did not display YES. The I/M System DTC Table identifies the DTCs associated with each I/M System Status Indicator.   Observe the I/M Test DTC information with a scan tool. Verify there are no I/M Test DTCs present. If an I/M Test DTC is set, diagnose the DTC using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and refer to Inspection/Maintenance System Check.   Observe the engine DTC information with a scan tool. Verify no DTCs are present. If a DTC is set, diagnose using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle. After repairs, perform the Inspection/Maintenance Complete System Set Procedure to verify no further DTCs are set.       Looks like one procedure to me.  Repeated as necessary.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By calgator73 · Posted

      My 2020 AT4 6.2 has had the valve spring issue addressed at ~200 miles, front cover/pump replaced at 18k, water pump at 34k and idler pully at 65k.  I would agree with ditching by 100k unless you elect to go with upgraded hardware...say built 10l80 and an lt4 or l8p swap.

      You might find the drive cycle you need somewhere on charm.li (website), otherwise I suggest a subscription to alldata.com to get them for your truck.
