Hello i recently bought a 09 gmc slt . And had 08 gmc slt with nav but the sytem i bought it of a guy from ebay and worked perfectly fine. And took it out and put it on the 09 the sound controls could not control it was just loud . So my question is do i need to buy one that really fit on the 09s because its has the bluetooth option or not?

My guess is the lack of volume control would be a programming thing that a dealer should be able to sort out for you. As for the bluetooth, my '09 Silverado has it and still has it with a aftermarket NAV radio, so it must be linked more to the onstar system.

 

(still have yet to understand why "the old" GM choses to make headunits so reliant on programming, and lets face it, theft-lock is a JOKE, I've had the GM factory NAV, I don't like them and have found some aftermarket headunits do much better)

I don't know anything about the Bluetooth system

 

I have read that there are "TWO" different AMPS for the trucks.

There is a "LUX" amp and a "NON LUX" amp.

The NAV unit has to match the type of amp or you get the problem of being unable to control the volume. (like you are having)

it has nothing to do with the bluetooth, you cannot use the 07 and 08 nav radios in the 09 and newer but you can use the newer one in the older ones, we have tried different programming at our dealer but can not get it to work just end up getting the 09 nav

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
