#724 of 944 Re: ON Star is Gone Star [luvmysuburban] by jerrywimer Feb 02, 2007 (4:50 am)
Replying to: luvmysuburban (Jan 26, 2007 4:33 am) I wouldn't say that OnStar didn't take them seriously. The more likely reason for the carryover (and soon incompatible) systems in some vehicles is that they had already ordered and *paid for* XX of the modules in quesion, and had them in stock. It's nearly always more cost effective for the vehicle manufacturer to exhaust the existing supply of parts before putting in the latest design when both will fit the vehicle in question. A good example of this is that my 2007 Avalanche (early order / production) has the same tiedowns in the bed as the pre-2007 models (flip up/down, fold flat against the bedside when not in use). Models made later now have a completely different tiedown part (looks cheaper to make, and lacks the flip up/down / fold flat against bedside thing, if not necessarily weaker).   Getting that out of the way, it still hurts the consumer. In many cases 2003+ models have an available upgrade through OnStar now (installed by dealerships) to fix the OnStar problem. But it also requires some sort of commitment to OnStar for at least a year (not up to date on the exact plan there). In other words, if you're willing to pay for a year or more in advance (even getting whatever special rate is in effect- so it's not costing any extra, just costing up front), you may be able to get your system upgraded at your dealership.   And for those thinking of trying to swap out their own system for one from a junked vehicle, it is likely possible. I've read of other people successfully doing just this with their own vehicles.   Good luck!

Replying to: redsoxva (Jan 31, 2007 1:25 pm) How much did they want for a new switch??? Also, do you mean the actual in dash buttons/switch, or the actual actuator on the transfer case? thanks again for the info. Replies to this message: redsoxva (Feb 15, 2007 9:40 am)
#726 of 944 Suburban Tires... by espo610 Feb 15, 2007 (8:42 am)
I have a '96 K1500. It has no lift, very standard. The tires on it are sized P245/75/16. I need new tires and am looking to put the biggest ones possible without making ANY modifications. A friend told me that I could put P265/70/16 on there and they would fit fine.   Can anyone verify this?   Thanks!   Randy Replies to this message: kiawah (Feb 15, 2007 9:37 am) hungdtran (Feb 08, 2008 4:44 am)

Replying to: espo610 (Feb 15, 2007 8:42 am) I have a 97-K1500, and the original sales brochures. All of the tire options are LT245/75R-16'x', even for the K2500's. There are tire calculators on a number of the tire websites, which will give you the dimensions of the different tire sizes. You can see how much bigger it would be.

Replying to: catam (Feb 02, 2007 5:36 pm) Sorry I don't know for sure but I think it was the actual in dash switch. Through the dealer I paid about $350 total (parts/labor)

#730 of 944 Trading 2003 LT for 2007 Suburban LTZ by joebas Mar 09, 2007 (6:08 pm)

Replying to: f1102 (Feb 21, 2007 11:19 am) i am sort of developing the same problem with my 88 suburban. cant seem to figure out whats wrong with it. it might just be the front end alignment, or a tie rod is worn and the brake pressure pulls the wheel slightly. ~tom
#732 of 944 Removing Door Panel 1998 Suburban by thur5d4yf4n Mar 23, 2007 (7:50 am)
Hey guys I have a 1998 Suburban and I was going to replace my front door speakers but ran into a problem, I couldn't seem to figure out how to get the door panel off revealing the factory speakers. All replys are appreciated!! Replies to this message: kiawah (Mar 23, 2007 7:57 am)

Replying to: thur5d4yf4n (Mar 23, 2007 7:50 am) Are you prying the trim panel off? They have clips behind the trim panel. There are 4 down across the bottom, either 3 or 4 up the front side edge, two black screws in the middle of the door (part of the inside door where you grab it to close), take out the courtesy lamp, carefully pry out the trim panel.   I have a 97, but I think it's the same for a 98
