    Rough ride

    Mine developed a rough ride. I remembered a good ride earlier. I went through all the research. Finally took it to a shop after 6 months. Turned out the drivers side rear shock had seized up. The mechanic said this is common on these shocks. You can easly tell on yours. Just go outside and push...

    No more lockpick

    A buddy of mine has an 04 and wants to have his iPod play in the car. I have a lockpick and recommended it but they dont make them any more. I know there is another option but don't remember what it is. Any suggestions?

    top 5 "must do" upgrades/fixes for the XLR

    True. It will only work with something with Bluetooth. I know the older iPods didn't have it. I'm not sure about new models. I got it at Target. It is a little square tha plugs into the 30 pin adaptor on the lock pick and receives Bluetooth signals.

    steering wander

    My escalade followed the road bad when I bought it. I replaced the tires and it drives like a Cadillac now. Money well spent.

    iPod adapter. It hooks to the Xm wires and you can play your iPod or iPhone through the stereo. I just found a Bluetooth adapter to plug into it so I can Bluetooth my music from my iPhone to the stereo without wires. Pretty cool.

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    You do not want the tire to stick outside the fender. You would be asking for trouble. When I put the new wheels on the x they fit right at the edge. It was no problem until we went on a trip and filled the trunk with more weight. I heard a slight rub every once in a while. Very little. When I...

    Rough ride

    My 04 has a pretty harsh ride. Is every one that way or could the magnetic ride control be stuck in a stiff mode. I have no codes pertaining to that.

    No workie GPS !! 2005 XLR

    I tried one. Didn't work. I even pulled the unit out and tore it down to try to clean the lazer. No way to get to the lazer without getting farther in than I feel comfortable. A waist of 2 hours.

    No workie GPS !! 2005 XLR

    Sounds like mine is a different problem. A DVD plays fine in mine so I guess it's the disk. Its kinda funny, I found a guy in town with another 04. I tried his disk and it worked. I thought, problem solved. Then he poped mine in his car. Worked fine. What's up with that. I put his back in mine...

    big day for my XLR

    This is sounding like something I want. My only question is when your cruising down the hi way. Is it quit like the stock or is there a drone to it? I love the sound when you get on it but I like quiet when I'm cruising down thehi way

    big day for my XLR

    Tell me about the corsa's. I'm thinking Trixie needs them. How much are they and what do they sound like. The new boat has got all the toys lately. I'm thinking its trixie's turn.

    No workie GPS !! 2005 XLR

    My 04 is doing the same thing. Figure it out and you will be my hero. I'm thinking a bad disk but I hate to spend $200 to find out that wasn't it. I did try several dvd's and they all play fine.

    Daily Chat

    Speaking of Gage's, I was riding with a friend on his boat, a 61 sea ray, one day. We were running about 45mph. There was a digital gage on the cluster that red 45. I said, is that our speed? He said, no, that is gallons per hour. I said "Holy Sh**. He said Oh, that's just that engine, the other...
