Anyone know how much the stock navs are worth if I were to sell mine?

Check ebay, get a pretty good idea. I know they're not cheap and hard to find.

I sold my stock nav head unit which was the same as yours for $200 on Craigslist like a year and a half ago.

Well that's good to know, hopefully I can make a buck whenever I get a different headunit

So last night I went for a drive and noticed I had no heat. (It was about 30 degrees out but atleast I have heated seats) I also noticed I was running a little hotter than normal(about 230 ish?) so today I investigated. Searched forums and read about the castech heads which got me worried but I checked the oil and there's no sign of coolant which is good I guess but doesn't explain my coolant resevoir being almost empty. So I started the tahoe and could see a little bit of steam under the hood (very minimal) and the smell of coolant. couldn't tell where it was coming from but I could also hear a gurgling sound.

I researched a little more and read something about the intake manifold gasket. This is much better than having cracked heads if this is the issue but still frustrating after only having it for a few months.

I'll keep you guys updated

Oh no , fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

Good luck. Hopefully it's not too bad of a fix. Still under warranty?

Good news! Leak is coming from the radiator. Reading about the castech heads had me worried. Anyone know of any good aftermarket or better than stock radiators?
