    Rear Rocker Rust Repair

    Read a few accounts of rocker replacement on this model, but also would appreciate some feedback on what to do in this specific case. I've owned this vehicle since late 2006 (2d owner) and it's has been and is a great car so I would like to keep it going for another 50k miles or 4-5 years let's...

    Solved? 2006 Squeaky Liftgate

    The liftgate in my 06 has been squeaking for years, I usually just turn up the radio and it's also drowned out by highway noise. But at slower speeds on bumpy side streets it's pretty annoying if I am wanting quiet time or having a conversation with a passenger. I removed the handle from the...

    Michelin Latitude Tires

    Realize there is a tire forum, but thought this might be helpful to the 06-10 crowd. I was a little down on my 2006 V8 XLT in terms of overall performance, specifically acceleration and handling. I knew it needed new tires, but I underestimated how bad the old ones were affecting the ride...

    mp3 Clean Install on 2006 XLT

    I'm pretty happy with this install of an mp3/aux input on my 06 XLT. This is the Peripheral pxdx2 with a Sansa e280R unit that can play my Rhapsody catalog. I am sorta in love with this set up, with Rhapsody I don't need to monkey around with CD's cuz almost everything I want is available...

    Hey Y'all

    New to the forum, but looks pretty cool so far. I found while searching for info on installing an mp3 jack in an 06 XLT w/6 disc changer. Yep, I found a couple of threads very helpful on this exact topic and even step by step pix on how to tear apart the dash to pull the radio. Nice! My...
