    Engine flushing?

    Had our '05 Tahoe in for basic lube service at local Chevy dealer this past week. Tech advisor informed me that we should really consider The Supreme Engine Cleaning Service from Wynns.

    bearing noise

    Pursuit remote start - how to disable?

    How to disable remote start system Took our '05 Tahoe to an audio shop to see if they could determine how to disconnect the remote start system. They found the module and quickly unhooked the 6 wire connection. That should take care of our random mystery starts. GaryC - Franklin, IN

    Trans 'double' downshift

    Trans 'double' shift Thanks for your reply. I'm not 'punching' it! Just normal road cruising through the hills on the interstate. Typical hills would cause one gear downshift, but on very rare times, got this quick shift down to 3rd and then another right away to a roaring 2nd. Doesn't...

    Tahoe Hybrid

    We visited Indy Flower and Patio show yesterday. GM had a "green" booth there with a hybrid Malibu and Tahoe. I guess several local dealers now have cars available for demos of the technology. Just curious as to whether any forum folks are ready to make the switch over to an '08 Tahoe...

    On star problem

    We bought an '05 Z71 about a month ago. Decided to go ahead with safe and sound on star hook up. No problem with the signing up that I did over the phone(my cell phone), but when went to check it out before ending conversation, on star would not work. After working with a couple on star...
