Hey guys, Finally decided to let the 03 go. 03 SLT that had 153k. Was a great truck, didn't ever have any real problems.
With the family growing and lots of trips planned i bought this yesturday
07 XL SLT Quad Buckets w Nav and autoride. 146k on it.
Very clean one owner.
Drove a few hundred miles to get it and it drives very nice. Test drove 5 or so of the new body styles to get the feel of them and this one drove nicer than some with half this mileage.
Anyway, It has a few issues
This looks nice, but......will not read discs
1. Most important (to the kids) The DVD system is not working. The Nav and XM work, but not the DVD/CD. When the dvd is inserted above the nav screen it says "unable to read disc" tried a few different movies and no dice. Also will not read cd's. When i had it inspected at a GM dealer the tech said that when that happens the whole head unit needs to be replaced. Tried the lens cleaning disc and that didn't help. So what are my options?
My goal is to continue to use the OE DVD screen in back and have the system function as normal with the sound running through the car's speakers. From what i gather, only an OE deck will work with that system. Is this true? If it is, where would you recommend purchasing an OE deck from? The dealer quoted about 2k for one.
Is there a company that I can send my unit to for repair?
Nav is not important to me, so could i switch to a non nav OE deck to save some cash?
Also, with the car totally shut off, the key out, and door open etc.. there is an audible hum from the head unit area. Sounds like a computer cooling fan or a disc spinning. Is this normal? I removed the nav disc and it was quieter, but still audible.
Any other ideas to keep the kids quiet on 9 hr trips?
#2 The inspection revealed the airbags are leaking in the back. I often tow an 18' Sea Ray in the summer so I was interested in this feature.
Are there better Air bags than oem i should get to replace these?
Also if i just pulled the fuse on the compressor and did not change the bags would the rear end sag when unloaded? Or just not level out when loaded down?
Other than that it just has a few minor leaks. Was pumped my K and N filter swithced right over
