    First Oil Change: Lessons Learned

    Okay, I did it; decided to get my hands dirty, roll up my sleeves, and change the oil in our '07 LTZ (5.3L Flex). I changed to synthetic at Jiffy Lube back at 1829 miles. It had been 8268 miles since, and I still had 16% showing on the DIC, which projects out to about 10,000 miles between...

    Why so many people with only one DRL?

    Just curious: Maybe it's just me, but I seem to notice a lot of Tahoes / Yukons out there during the day with only one Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) on. I was just wondering if that is a normal feature to conserve the DRL lamps, or if there was some sort of issue in the wiring or something that...

    Oil Changes: Trust the DIC?

    Just wanted some feedback on the oil life monitor in the DIC. I switched to synthetic on July 11th, 1829 miles (Penzoil). We've got 9145 miles as of Oct 4th. So it's been about 3 months (85 days) and 7316 miles since the oil change. I was under the impression that a general rule of thumb for...

    Suction Pumps for Oil Changes?

    Any thoughts on these? I'm sure thee's a reason why people don't use them more, even thought it would seem to make an oil change MUCH easier: http://www.right-tool.com/lioilchpukit.html

    Checklist for Exterior Trim Protectant

    Here's a checklist I made up to be sure I didn't miss anything when I applied the 303 Aerospace Protectant to the exterior trim pieces. I figured it was worth the time every few weeks to prevent / reduce the dreaded fading of these pieces over time. Hopefully, it's useful to some of you as...

    Upgrade the Bose Sound System

    Go F&*K Yourself, Hardin . . . This has to be one of the most insipid comments ever. I wish the comment itself had been given a "coathanger abortion" before the author made it. In answer to the idiotic question . . . YES, it sounds good to me. That's why I said that I liked it in an...

    Upgrade the Bose Sound System

    Found a way to increase the bass in my Bose system . . . OP here. I found a poor-man's solution to the audio quality of the Bose system. I used a program I have that can modify sound files. Before I burned my MP3s onto a disc, I processed them through the program to amplify the bass and...

    Play DVD and Nav at same time?

    Welcome to the WONDERFUL world of Tahoe ownership; you'll LOVE it! 1) The Nav DVD player is actually behind the screen; to get to it, you flip down the screen. It's a separate system from the player that you insert CDs & DVDs into, so you can play DVDs & nav at the same time. 2) The system...

    Extended Warranty for 07 Tahoe - What & When to Buy?

    We've had a 2007 Tahoe LTZ since June 16th; 2500 miles on her so far. My question is about extended warranties: 1) When to buy? Should I get one now, while the car is new, or should I wait until we're a few more miles down the road? I've read that we should do it before 12,000 miles. 2)...

    questions about new '07 Tahoe purchase

    There will be adjustments, some obvious & some not. In general, the biggest adjustment is the cost of ownership. In no particular order: 1) The LTZ rides AWESOME! We moved my wife from a 99 Explorer Sport to the LTZ, and it's no comparison. I drive a Ford Five Hundred, and the LTZ is...

    Link to Posts from ZX1100F

    I think anyone who was been a member of the various Tahoe forums on the web has come the the obvious conclusion that perhaps the most helpful poster out there is ZX1100F, who is clearly an insider at GM. Well, I couldn't find a way to do this for this site, but if you click on the link below...

    Sounds

    This won't work if you have rear entertainment, because the controls take up space in the back part of the center console.
