I've got about 83K on mine and I just started hearing what sounds more like a loud persistent squeak. Have not heard any grinding our growl type sounds like other threads have described, but more of the whine / squeak. Sometimes it does not start until I get above 25 mph. When I jack it up and rotate wheels, there is no looseness or noise or clunking sounds - everything sounds fine. But at speed the right front sounds almost like a brake squeak on steroids. Does this description sound familiar to you guys? Any new advice from those who have dealt with this issue?

Finally bought another unit off ebay and put the working cd changer unit out of the head unit I bought into my original radio and I'm back in business. A small white plastic gear came falling out of my old cd changer unit when I took it out - figure that was the problem. Trading out just he CD changer unit kept me from having to deal with getting the VIN code reprogrammed for a new radio.

Does anyone know of a source for just the 6-cd player/changer that is installed inside the whole head unit? I think this is the problem and not the whole radio/head unit.

Same issue for me, did you find a fix or solution?

Thanks for all the suggestions, support and laughs! I went to a dealer a couple towns over ( took a while to find one open on Saturday) and they cut the key on the VIN#. Had to show picture ID, proof of ownership of some sort (insurance papers) and give them the license plate #. It cost $35 - $25 to look the code up in the database and about $10 for the key. They actually gave me two keys because they were not sure which blank to use, but both worked, so that was a bonus. I had no idea that could be done until one or more of you here suggested it. Thanks!

That's a good idea, I may call them in the AM. Anyone else have any creative ideas?

I wish is was that easy. My truck did not come with Onstar.

HELP! Got home a bit ago and before I knew it my 5 year old had locked the keys in the Truck (03 SS). Wife is out of town with the other set of keys. Short of calling a locksmith ( and having them scratch up my doors ), does anyone know a safe harmless way to break into my truck? Open to suggestions and a bit desperate. Thanks in advance!

Hey Lee, I've done that several times myself, glad I'm not the only one.

dcairns / BenKey : You guys are good! I owe you a coke.

Sounds like a sinister plan - I'm in - now if we can just get those numbers. ...and how can there be such a sinister plan... bet you a coke you can't figure out the song...did I say that out loud?

Did I miss something or is #5243 a wild guess? Did anyone get an answer on the sequence?
