List of modules I have found on my '03 Suburban in the attached spreadsheet. Module addresses along with reference sources located in the "Lookup" tab. Edit: Data was captured using a serial terminal emulator available at Kai Morich's Andoid Apps.

The upfront cost of new vs. used is just the tip of the iceberg. You also have to factor in maintenance & reliability, insurance & registration over time (i.e. Total Cost of Ownership). My 2003 Suburban is straightforward to work on, parts are readily available, and it is inexpensive to...

I can confirm: no screen under the oil pressure switch on GMT800's.

Rather than buy a dedicated scanner I would buy a ELM327 Bluetooth or WiFI OBD dongle and then use it in conjunction with an app like Torque Pro or CarScanner on your phone.

Agree. The whole dealership model is becoming increasingly less viable as more money is made on financing & service than on sales. They are desperate to identify new revenue opportunities, though I never would have guessed they would start chasing the older vehicle service market. This is...

Central to this approach is the importance of an educated customer. I have always found that in order to truly provide good customer service you need to have a good customer. And that starts with education; good customers are made, they do not exist in a vacuum.

Went to hit the couch for a nap earlier today and found this little guy beneath one of the pillows. It is a bark scorpion and they have one hell of a nasty sting; not fatal (unless you are allergic) but quite painful. Used a lint roller to catch him.

The last of the V8 Interceptors! Love the license plate! Mais bien sur, je me souviens.

Those that can, do. Those that can't, talk. Those that can't talk become influencers.

An inexpensive ELM327 Bluetooth or Wi-Fi OBD2 adapter (Veepak, BAFX Products or OBDLink MX+) combined with an app for your phone like Torque Pro (for Android) or Car Scanner ELM OBD2 (for iPhone) will give you the ability to monitor misfires, knock sensor active counter. and knock sensor retard...

The tragedy here is that acquiring, developing & continuously honing these skills are not obtained by watching a "here's how ya' do it" video or taking a 6 week online certification class. This will require a real education to develop real understanding. Subject matter "proficiency" (worse yet...

All kidding aside, every aspect of a Liberal Arts education will now be essential **in addition** to core technical skills. Writing, reading, critical thinking, history, logic, debating, etc. If you are not able to concisely articulate a request, technically review it in-depth, and then respond...

Will need some more info so a couple of questions: Vehicle (model & year)? Have you tried to reattach the stereo to see if that restores anything? When you say no power, are you referring to no power at all (e.g. dome lights) or just no crank/no start? Do you know if the non-Bose stereo...

Makes sense to me.

My inclination would be to take the aftermarket route.
