Checking In!!!
Hi:
I've been reading this forum for quite some time and find it very informative.
I bought a new 2005 QC SLT V8 5-Speed Auto, 4-Wheeler in Mineral Grey Metalic. I have 28000 miles on this truck and like it very much. I have the bigger tires (P265/70R16) on it which gives it a nice "stance".
I get the expected mileage in town (15 mpg) and hit a little over 20 mpg on the highway.
I was ALMOST trouble free until my rack and pinion steering went south and of course I was out of warranty for this and it cost me a little over $1,000 to get it replaced. That ended my "trouble free" argument with my Chevy buddies but what can I say, it's only a piece of machinery!!!
Can anybody tell me how in the world you get the back seat headrests out as they REALLY obstruct the view. I found a post of this several pages back and tried to insert a paper clip into a detent to release the darn things but can't get them to budge. What am I doing wrong??? Any help on this would be appreciated as I'm tired of hearing the wife gripe about these backrests being in her way.
Thanks for a nice informative forum.

Ahh my bad I missed QC... good try anyways ummm Ericemery is a pro at removing his... I believe they just pop out, and he had to be forceful with his. He should chime in soon.

i should probably make a new thread for this, but in regards to the new rack...are there any other options for fixing the steering a different way? I know on my old dak I had to replace the rack at 40,000mi too! is there a way to change the entire steering over to another type, or is that just too much work to handle?
