Few Issues

tcracing425ex · February 14, 2009

Ive owend my tuck for a year and a half now, its got 140kmi and i havent had any real issues with it yet. i going to shool in ohio (living in NY) so i travel back and forth when i can. around the same distance everytime while im driving home or two school i start to hear a noise that sounds like it omes from the front left side of my truck. the best way i can desribe this noise is its like a chatter that lasts about a seond or two each time. ive lifted my truck and tried to find if there is anything lose with no luck, im just worried about being stranded somewhere.

second thing is out in ohio it gets very cold and i notice some of my electrial stuff not working. for one my cruise control did not work one day when it was 4 degrees out to -15 while i was driving home. i didnt threat about it at all just said screw it but when i was driving the other day high 50 degrees i figured id try it and sure enough it worked. i also found my horn to not want to work well in the old either.

lastly the deck of my truck isnt working correctly. to make a long story short it wouldnt eject CD's so i bought one off ebay. tryed to get it unlocked and the dealer couldnt do it, the guy i bought it from off ebay said send me the one i bought, and my original bak and hed have mine fixed. well he fixed the ejection issue but then i had issues with it sounding like it wasnt ballanced. and then it wouldnt play some of my burned CD's. i kinda just blew it off but now its worse. some CD's itll play perfectly fine. but then i tried a BRAND NEW CD and it woudlnt play it. what it does is itll play 3 songs or so then turn off like it looses power and then turn back on. once back on if i tryr to ontinue to play the CD itll freeze and ill have to disonnect my negative terminal on my battery to unfreeze it. has anyone else had these issues with these decks? BTW its just a standard dek not a 6 disc

1) When was the last time you had your bearings packed or greased the front suspension?

2) Just buy a good quality aftermarket head unit for you stereo system...they are much more durable than stock and sound much more better than stock...you will not be dissappointed. Kenwood and Sony make some pretty good head units.

my local oil change place is supose to grease everything when i have the oil changed...... whether or not they do it i have no clue.... if they are being lame im guessing its been 3-5 months (the last time my mehanic could fit me in)

im really not a fan of aftermarket decks... i hate the button placement and everything. i just plain like the look and setup of the stock unit. does anyone know if a newer head unit (something like a 07) will work?
