How to find "hot" wire to power accy by noller2g
Jun 13, 2005 (5:16 am)

I'm trying to find a wire under the rear seat near the fuse box that I can use to power up my subwoofer amplifier.
 
I've got everything hooked up for the high amperage leads, but there is a low amperage wire used to turn on the amp. It's commonly known as "the blue wire" and it just needs to go to a wire that is hot when the ignition is on, but not during engine cranking.
 
Used to be able to just slave off the radio hot wire, but afterlooking in the engine bay and under the back seat, I have no way of knowing which wire to use.
 
Any help please.
 
Also, anyone know how best to get signals from an xm radio into the Bose system? I'm using the cassette now, and don't get full dynamic range or quality, and the fm modulator is worse.
 
Thanks again....

If you don't have a CD changer built into your radio, you can use a PIE aux input cable from BlitzSafe:

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the response, but I do have the Bose system in my 2002 Bravada with the single cd and cassette.
 
The application guide pdf ababe has no entries for the 2000-2003 Olds or Chevy.
 
I'll give them a call.

Envoy w/ V-8 ??? by blink3

Is the Standard (short) Envoy available with the V-8 yet, or do you still have to get the EXT version to get the V-8? Also, same question, but with the Trailblazer??
  I have the '02 Envoy and have been pretty happy with it, but would like some more power/torque.
 
Thanks!

Transmission Question by gmfan

I had my tranny serviced last week at 68K miles on it. Instead of the flush option, I had the tranny pan dropped, cleaned, replaced filter, and added fluid. The shop said the fluid was brownish, but no debris and everything looked fine. I have had the vehicle back for a few days and it shifts a little smoother than before (it shifted smooth beforehand), but I now notice the vehicle is more sluggish. I find myself having to press on the pedal harder to get the vehicle to move. I have checked the fluid level and it is okay, and the shop assures me they put in Dexron III / Mercon. Has anyone else noticed a similar difference when they have had their tranny serviced? Maybe I should have not fooled with the service...if it ain't broke don't fix it! Any help would be appreciated.

My understanding is that the Envoy Denali is the only short version of the trips to have a V-8. The TB has only the V-6. The V-8 should be an option in either IMO.

Get the 391 HP Trailblazer SS that is coming this fall. Has the Corvette engine. Can get it in either 2WD or 4WD. That should have enough power!!! Will still be able to tow up to the same capacities as now. Looks pretty sweet too, with 20" wheels and a lowered suspension.

Rainier has the V8 in the short WB. And it is a I6 not a V6. SNOKING

The '05 Envoy SWB is now available with the 5.3L V8 in the Denali level trim.
 
Advance info on the '06 TB says the 5.3L V8 will be available in SWB in both LS and LT trims. Will still require the Denali pkg in the '06 Envoy SWB to get a V8.

I know the Denali trim! That'll look so nice. Has anyone on here put 20 inch chrome rims on their Trailblazer/ Envoy? Does is handle okay? I mean it's only a 3 inch increase... is there a noticable weight difference? I was thinking of adding 50 horses to take care of the weight difference.
