I found this late last night. Looks like the same opener as mine, except mine is a 1hp motor. BTW, I think I'm just going to use the new track too. Might as well make it all new.

I don't feel like the Kenwood quality is as good since it became JVC-Kenwood. EDIT: I am referring to their decks, mainly. They make some great amps still.

Also, the JVC-Kenwood company has become affiliated or merged with the Viking handheld radio company too.
i use to be a Kenwood and JL Audio guy, but for this truck i just went with a cheapo touch screen apple car play unit. gets the job done.

I talked to my Buddy last night, and he told me the new Ford decks also use slope, and cannot be adjusted. He has a 2019 or 2021 (my brain thinks in odd or even numbers) and has a factory sub.

He said Ford did it because of distortion complaints in previous models. He also feels the same as me, leave it how it was when we your young'uns.


I have a side job that I need to do tonight before I get to the garage door. I'm working on a 2012 Traverse. The cooling fans stay on after it's shut off. (They thought the motor was still running, however). It has a bad ECT sensor, so I'm going to go put one in it.

Just a reminder, folks. A 97ish Cadillac Deville grille will slide right in.
