Does anyone know of any XM deals? We have Sirius and I would rather be able to add my XM radio to our Sirius account but have heard it's not possible.

Instead of starting a new thread I'll just bring up an old one.

 

Any new deals lately for subscribing to XM? My trial is expiring in a coupe weeks. I called them and stated I wanted to cancel and go back to SIRIUS, they offered me $7.99/month (CDN) which after tax works out to roughly CDN$121 for the year. (The regular cost is about $14.99/month).

 

Now I have to say I prefer SIRIUS, but love the fact that XM is fully integrated. (I hate clutter, and the wires associated with the separate SIRIUS unit, namely, occupying my Aux Input) BUT SIRIUS is better for the following reasons:

 

1. Howard Stern (he's not on XM)

2. FREE online access, iPhone app, etc. (XM charges like $3/mo for this!)

3. Portability. Since the SIRIUS is a separate unit I can use it in my house, portable ghettoblaster, etc.

 

SO... is that decent? or should I call back and try for more? What are you guys paying??

 

I saw deals for "$77" but it was over a year ago, and not sure if that's still current, and not sure if it was US or Canada.

Thats the deal I got last month. I couldn't find any really cheap codes to punch in.

When it was time to renew, I called to cancel. The XM programming was not doing it for me. They offered the $77 deal again. When I told them "no thank you", they went as low as $54 for the year. Maybe it is something you should try. I still cancelled my service.

Found out that "$77" deal was XM America only. :(

 

On another note, JUST today, it was officially announced that XM Canada and SIRIUS Canada are finally merging! (The US counterparts merged over a year ago). SO that being said.. does that mean they will share technologies? i.e. Satellites? I always got better reception with SIRIUS than XM, and I was told it was due to the SIRIUS satellite being 'higher orbit in the sky' (not sure if that was just a line) but it might make sense

I've renewed the last 4 times for $23.05 for 5 months (works out to about $55.32 per year) for XM everything. The last time I renewed was about a week ago and had no problems getting it. Of course I really was willing to cancel the subscription if I didn't get it.

 

edit: that rate includes the music royalty fees, it was 19.99 for 5 months pus the fee.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
