hey anybody that can help me. i got an 04 GMC sierra SLE EC. it has steering wheel controls and Bose. now iv been reading in about lux and non lux bose... what does that mean. the front doors on my truck say Bose on the speaker grilles but i am not sure if i have a sub in the console ( it doesn't really sound like i do or feel like it ). i want to buy a factory navigation head unit, preferably a touch screen. what should i look for? and will i be able to use steering wheel controls with the head unit. i know that i will have to reprogram the unit for my VIN, that will not be a problem. any useful information will help. also about the VSS and if i will still have XM compatibility. another important thing will be could i add a factory CD changer and be able to listen to a cd while using navigation option. thank you, i am sort of lost

I would say you do not have the LUX model. I believe it is code Y91, forget the one for the Non-Lux. I added a Touch Screen Nav Part #1580000 to my 04 Avalanche that had Bose. Everything worked from the steering wheel controls. I didn't have Onstar. Mine did not have the VSS wire. I could have tapped in behind the instrument cluster but I found it worked fine without doing that, although it seemed to take a drive of a few miles in a straight line before it would update smoothly. I didn't have XM either, but I would think there wouldn't be a problem. I got mine from a guy called machomachodan or something like that. I think he goes by maxpower_mi on ebay. He can clear the Vin lock so you don't have to go to the dealer.

How hard was it to install the antenna and do you have a part number? If one opted for the Y91 Lux system will it work with the current wiring? Any idea how hard to change the amp to the lux system?

It's not overly difficult to install the antenna in the correct spot. I'm going by memory here as I don't have the Av anymore. You have to remove the dash pad, which means you have to take out the light sensor and a couple of vents on the passenger side and unhook the grab handle over the glove box. I had read that other people were just puttin it under the dash pad on some heating vents. Thats what I did, wrapped it in foam and stuffed it ontop of a vent, but under the dash pad. Worked fine.

 

I don't have the part number for the antenna.

 

You can convert over to Lux system but you have to find a Lux amp and then re-pin the connectors. I think you also have to have the head unit programmed. I don't know anymore about that, but if you search on this Avalanche site there are people who have done it.

I did take pictures when I was putting mine in but I don't have a photo sharing site to post them to.

If you want simple plug and play get a non-lux, which is the part number I listed. I didn't have Onstar or XM, before or after.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...

      I'll bet your truck lost the bearings on a roller on 1 of the lifters, and now is wiping out a cam lobe.
