the pioneer ones arent bad, but they do have a super low end. I would stay away from Jensen (just to many QC issues)

what is your budget and what features are important to you???

I'm either asking my parents for a cd player for x-mas or i'm just gonna save up and buy one, so my budget isn't much right now.

As for what i'm looking for is a cd player that doesn't skip when i sneeze in my blazer(i'm not lying either! lol)

I would stay away from Sony, Jensen, Phase Linear, Dual, etc.

As far as suggestions, Pioneer, JVC, Alpine (although used to have skipping problem) Eclipse. Clarion isnt bad, not what it used to be though.

Heck, in your budget, the JVC KDG230 fits nicely.

Default RE: Some Questions.

not sure if they are posted for your year.

Dash, unclip left side by lights. Unclip right side by heater controls. Remove 2 7mm screws above steering column. Pull dash piece slightly out to give more room to unclip the harnesses at light panel, and the 4wd switch. Here is the trick part, Turn ignition on, put your foot on the brake, and put truck into 1st gear. Lower column down as fat as you can. start at the top of the panel and flex it out from under the dash. Carefully!!!! Once you have it free on the top, with both hands grab the top of the coumn piece of the dash,a nd carefully flex it over the hazard switch.

you will have to remove the 4 screws above and below both the heater controls and the radio. In back of the cavity, there will be a small piece of plastic with a hole in the middle of it, snap that piece off for depth clearance.

ON the doors, small screw in the door handle, pop out the plastic spacer as well. Then remove that panel, (just unclips, kind of a PITA). pull up on the armrest with the lock and window controls. Unclip the harnesses there.

Then there are 2 7mm screws in the door pull itself under the rectangular cover.

Start at the bottom of the door panel and pull out, might have to put a screw driver behind to pry out.

If you break the little plastic push in clips, dont worry, you can buy 16 for 4 bucks at the parts store.
