You could lower it, install smaller wheels and tires, remove the 4x4 system, and install a V6 out of a pickup. It would suck, but you'd probably get better mileage.

Take a chill. All I see is a guy going back and forth over two pages trying to justify selling his Tahoe over what seems like a manageable amount of debt, even for a 17 year old. If you really want to sell the Tahoe that's fine. I hope you get a good price for it. But from my side of the...

Uh...no. Don't get an Explorer. Please don't. If anything I'd be looking for a decent 4 door Hoe. Something that comes with the factory limited slip rear. That and a good set of tires will pull you through the winters. Fuel mileage isn't any better than the Explorer and you can seat at...

I'm having a hard time believing that you have somehow managed to pay for all these mods, but can't find a way to afford to drive the thing or pay down $500 worth of debt. Maybe I'm missing something here.

One problem with installing a third row seat in that year Tahoe is that you won't have a footwell like the Suburban does. That's probably fine for young kids, but anyone bigger won't be happy. I was thinking about getting a seat from Little Seats, but between the lack of a footwell and no rear...

I always wanted the barn doors, and now that I have them I don't think I would be so opinionated about it the next time. The door seem blocking the middle of the back view can be annoying, but it is really handy for hitching trailers. Trying to unload with barn doors at the curbside can be...

Leave the mud on. Then people will know it's not some poser truck. :)

The Chilton manual mentions retainers on the hinge pins. Did you see anything like that?

Gasoline is actually more dangerous than hydrogen. Gasoline vapors are heavier than air and will pool on the ground. Hydrogen is lighter than air and will easily dissipate.

My Dad used to drive a 72 Chevy pickup that he had installed tractor mufflers on. From what I remember it sounded pretty good. Thought I would throw that out for whatever it was worth.

I found this site to be rather useful for decoding the sticker: http://www.nastyz28.com/gm-rpo-codes/

FWIW, here are the steps for a 97 Yukon from the Chilton manual: Removal: 1. Raise the window completely. 2. Remove the door trim panel. 3. Using a suitable flat bladed tool, push on the top of the door lock rod clips and pivot the clip away from the rod. 4. Disconnect the door handle to lock...

The only times I've clocked the mileage on my Yukon has been on trips when I've been towing something. We got 14.7 mpg on a camping trip loaded down with gear, the family, and towing a pop-up camper. Got about the same on a 400 mile trip that I took to bring back a compact car on a tow dolly...

Same deal here. About 10 ft is all the farther I can get from my Yukon. Quite the contrast compared to my Ford Windstar and Focus, both of which have a factory keyless system that works about half a city block away.

These stories remind me of the abuse that a 74 IH Scout II had to endure at the hands of my parents, and later at mine: - Run into a garage door because it wasn't put in Park. The snowplow frame mounted on the front at the time cracked the wooden garage door. - Run aground on a big rock in an...

Are you using a basic hitch or a weight-distributing hitch (WDH). If you're at max towing capacity you probably need the WDH. It will distribute the weight across all of the axles instead of hanging it all on the rear.

When was the last time you had an alignment done? If not that what about the brakes? Does anything change if you rotate your tires?

You don't get one. That's just the standard GM 100K mile undocumented maintanence work. Replace the alternator, maybe the radiator, usually the water pump, maybe other random stuff. I've had three GM's so far and they've all been through that at right around that mileage. My fourth GM, my 97...

Greetings. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience installing a third row seat in a Tahoe or Yukon that did not origninally come with one. We bought a 97 Yukon last fall. It only seats five because it has the center console between the front seats. Shortly after we bought it we...
