Hello all new here. We "had" an 2005 Suburban for about 5 years now, loved it! Great family vehicle1 The wife was coming home from a friends house when someone ran a red light and t-boned our Suburban sending it through the traffic light pole and into another car. The other driver was charged . The wife sure is sore and off work for a few weeks I would guess but I'm SO thankful I insisted on the biggest tank I could find for our main family vehicle.
Here is a link with some pictures......

So needless to say it's been a horrible week. Staying home helping the wife out, and having to deal with the insurance company.
I finally got what I considered what was fair. The stressful part besides the wife's health issues was having to find a replacement quick as the insurance company would only pay for just over a week for a rental car. So I was forced to buy a high mileage 2007 LT.(175000KM) I love the looks of the new body style and interior But had to settle with what I could find on such short notice. ( 1 week) and with what I had to spend. I didn't want any payments! It has a few issues one being a few paint touch ups the sunroof won't retract very far, and the rear trim part on the liftgate was falling off ( clips were broken?) All of these the seller is fixing , it's in the body shop now, so I don't quite have it yet. Pick it up next week.
One thing that the seller wouldn't fix is one of the rear backup sensors was scratched/bruised. Is that a tough job to replace? I intend on doing it myself. The other thing I'd REALLY like to add if it is not too expensive is a rear camera? It's equipped with NAV/DVD/onstar and from what I've read on hear I will need the camera and maybe a module that's under the passenger seat? Is that correct? Anything else I'll need? Is the wiring already in the liftgate? Will I need a different trim part on the liftgate?
Any help and part#, instructions, pictures, drawings etc... sure would help?
Thanks everyone!
Brad

 

Glad to hear your wife is ok. Thoughs are some scary photos. Sorry can not help with the camera or sensor situation, but I am sure someone on the site will be able to.

 

Thanks for the reply! Ya she is pretty sore but will heal up in time I expect fully.

Can anyone help with the above questions about the new Burb?
Thanks Brad
