Sharing info and pictures? The first impression I had after reading the creator of this thread's first post was, "Hmmm, this reads like a planted posting from the manufacturer themselves". Just being honest. That's the way it came across to me. And, I still have my suspicions. I will defend...

87 octane gas here in TX is $2.89 I almost feel sorry for you E/W coast folks. Almost, but not quite.

Just because there's an aftermarket part, which may be in demand, doesn't mean the part performs up to its hype.

This may be somewhat related: I noticed after resuming my trip home from work after a quick stop at a drug store that my speedometer wasn't working. The needle was at zero while I was driving. I switched the DIC display to show trip mileage, and it wasn't increasing either (makes sense to me)...

Oat's has an '07 and Bear has an '04. Different setup. You can't say adding a RSB to an '04 is gonna help an '07. Oat's, your 07 Z71 already has a rear sway bar. It looks pretty beefy judging by looking at mine. I think you'd be throwing money away replacing it with a new one. The center of...

Bueller?

I have a question. If the "Run-down Protection" is working properly, is the power removed from the cigarette lighter sockets? I ask because, as I posted earlier, I've accidently left my mini 12v-fridge plugged in and turned on, and both times it ran my battery completely dead. I know the...

What year is your rig? Has it been abused or in a wreck?

The 12v lighter plugs continue to receive power. I know, as I've run down my battery a couple of times by leaving my little fridge plugged in. I bought a 12v lighter plug adapter that cuts off power when it senses voltage going below some threshold. This feature is built into the lighter...

I have a black Ho. I mean a Tahoe. Anyway, I wanted to get a white one, as my 2000 Jetta TDI I bought new is white and the color has held up really well. But, the Tahoe I bought had what I wanted and it was available. I was concerned about the high temps here in TX being made worse by a black...

You are correct sir.

RTFM.

I paid $2.99/gal for ethanol in CO when I was up there 3 weeks ago. 85 Octane was $3.99/gal. That's a 25% lower price per gal, which made it a slight savings per mile driven on E85 compared to reg gas, for me. BTW, reg gas is 85 octane in your high elevation states.

I've used it on a couple road trips to/from Colorado. It was a good $1/gal cheaper than reg unleaded there. It made up for the decreased MPG, plus money going to our farmers instead. I seemed to get about 20% less MPG.

If I'm gonna be on the road for a long trip, I use call forwarding, and fwd the calls to my cell phone to my Tahoe phone number.
