#3081 of 3260 Re: in dash CD changer - any ideas? [ssbmg] by tdoh Mar 17, 2006 (1:44 pm)
Replying to: ssbmg (Mar 15, 2006 9:56 am) Well I can't really offer much, given the model year of your Denali; I'm replying 'cuz I had a similar dilemma with the factory slave changer in my '04 DXL (has factory navigation). Now, there wasn't really anything wrong with the factory changer...I wanted to hook up a rear camera and really didn't want to go with the adapter that allows you to send a video image to the nav screen. So...I chose to swap out the factory changer w/ a Pioneer touchscreen DVD/MP3 head unit; by doing this I essentially killed two birds with one stone--I can send the rear camera video to the Pioneer, and since it can play MP3 tracks, I can burn a ton of MP3s to one CD. One single MP3 CD can hold more music than 6 standard audio CDs--roughly 8 hours worth (or more, depending on bitrate), so I did not lose anything as far as the capability to listen to lots of music tracks w/o frequent disc-swapping.   I believe on your truck the Onstar buttons are located right below the air vent that is to the right of the radio, correct? If so, then you could hook up a small color LCD screen in that location so that you can use it for a rear camera video feed (or some other video of your choosing)...

Replying to: tdoh (Mar 17, 2006 1:44 pm) Thanks for the suggestion. I have a DVD/LCD installed in the space where the factory stereo used to be and I put a small navigation unit in the top cover of the center compartment that flips up (pretty cool actually - I cut out a hole to make it a pretty factory looking flush mount. I'll post a picture if I can figure out how to do it). I think I will shop for a small screen to replace the Onstar controls. Another screen can't hurt and that size would be pretty inexpensive.   My main concern is the factory CD changer that is now useless. It was suggested that I mount a center channel speaker there like in home surround systems but I'd really rather put some kind of storage pocket. Another idea is some gauges that I've seen in magazines. I think it's 3 circular gauges that would fit perfectly in that space. If I did that I'd have to hook them up to something...nitrous maybe?   Any ideas would be welcome.
#3083 of 3260 Changing radiator fluid by lou747jeeps Mar 20, 2006 (4:58 am)
I have a 2004 Yukon XL. I want to change my radiator fluid. I did not find a redatior cap on top of my radiator. I also did not find a drain plug at the bottom of my radiator. Does anyone have any experience with changing radiator fluid on a Yukon XL? I can drop my lower hose to drain, and I can try to refill through the reservoir, but I wanted to get your advice first.                                            Thanks.

Replying to: lou747jeeps (Mar 20, 2006 4:58 am) The "radiator cap" is actually on the overflow reservoir; there is no traditional radiator cap on top of the radiator on our vehicles like what you're used to seeing.   Dunno what to tell you about the drain plug, though...I'm sure someone more knowledgable will swing by to answer that.
#3085 of 3260 Dashboard Electronics by stranded3 Mar 24, 2006 (5:59 pm)
Have a 2002 Yukon XL. Recently the dashboard electronics have been acting up. While driving, the "traction off", "ABS" and "AirBag" lights stay on. The fuel and temperature gauges do not work. The information center rotates through Security, Battery, and Low Fuel. The oil gauge and volt gauge do work. When not in use and engine stopped, the Security light stays on. Any ideas? Thanks.

Replying to: stranded3 (Mar 24, 2006 5:59 pm) If the Airbag light is on take it to your dealer RIGHT AWAY. Who knows - your airbag might pop out all of a sudden, or it may not pop out when supposed to. Alot of your safety systems are not working. Take it to your dealer. We cannot help you if your cars computer is messing everything up. Best of luck
#3087 of 3260 fuel system/filter question 1999 yukon by akyukon Mar 28, 2006 (10:34 am)
I have a 99 Yukon SLT, 5.7liter, 4x4, (old body style). How can I tell if I need to bleed the pressure from the fuel system before changing the fuel filter? I have two repair manuals, one through 98, and one from 2000-2001, (couldn't find one for 1999) one says it's not necessary, the other says it is. I know there was a major design change in 2000, my truck is the old style. Any tips?
#3088 of 3260 I'd go with the one through 98 as it would by obyone Mar 28, 2006 (1:05 pm)
relate to the 5.7 rather than the 5.3 or 4.8
#3089 of 3260 Thanks, brjohnson by quickdropmarc Mar 29, 2006 (10:53 am)
Thanks for the link on the rear camera systems. Looks like the one I need to order is called the BracketCam since I need it to hook up my boat trailer, with the interface for the touch screen navigation system. At $700 I wish I could see one first, or at least hear from someone that owns one. Have you installed one yet? If so, how do you like it.   Since I fish a lot of bass tournaments I need to hook-up my trailer in the dark, usually in the rain (live in Seattle area), so I'm wondering if I will have enough light with my backup lights for this? Any additional info would be helpful on likes/dislikes.   Thanks, Marc Replies to this message: tdoh (Mar 29, 2006 2:27 pm) quickdropmarc (Mar 29, 2006 4:20 pm) brjohnson (Apr 08, 2006 11:47 pm) quickdropmarc (Apr 10, 2006 2:37 pm) brjohnson (Apr 20, 2006 10:38 pm)
