    Spam PM

    I just got this PM, there doesn't appear to be a way to flag PMs as spam etc, so I thought I'd inform you here. If there is a more appropriate way to go about this, let me know.

    This is the 2007+ section!!!

    Lately there have been a lot of posts of other model years in this 2007+ section. I don't have a superiority complex because my vehicle is newer than yours, I'm just saying you will have better replies for the most part if you post in the proper year section. If you have a part fail and want...

    OnStar Renewal

    Today I've owned the Tahoe for a year, but that means my "free" year of OnStar is also up. I called them up and asked if they had any deals, she said no. I said, well I don't want to pay $200/year, so do I have to do anything to cancel, or will it just happen automatically. She said she'd...

    What Wheels and Tires are You Running?

    There have been countless threads where users ask what size wheels/tires they can fit (eg Can I fit 30's on my Hoe?) I thought it would be prudent to create a thread where everybody puts a short post with basic info on what aftermarket wheels/tires they have fit on their tahoe. If you want to...

    Pulled out the BlackBear tune today...

    I removed my custom control modules today and put the stock ones back in as I have to take it to the dealer for a few things. Driving it today was PAINFUL :ack: To all of those not running a tune of some kind, do yourself a big favor and get one!

    OBX Trip - Damage...

    I'm in the outer banks of North Carolina on vacation and took the tahoe out to the sand for the first time. Shortly after I got out on the sand I remembered I needed to take the fascia off. I went to cross the ruts to get out and I was going a little too fast, the front came up and slammed...

    Search is broken

    It appears that since the site upgrade the search has been broken. This has led to a lot of people asking where a thread is, as they have looked but can't find it. I'm not positive but it appears searching for anything pre-upgrade is broken, but the threads since then can be searched. Can an...

    Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0

    I've been using a Carnauba wax on my Tahoe since I got it. It was alright, but didn't last long and wasn't overly impressive looking. Well, I went to Autozone and picked up some Meguars NXT 2.0 wax (I think it is technically a sealer) and applied it. All I can say is WOW, the red on my tahoe...

    Blackbear Tune on Saturday

    I'm driving down to Alexandria this weekend to get a Blackbear tune from Justin. I'm trying to decide whether or not to have him reflash my control modules (yes as in plural) or to purchase replacements from him. It is 200 for the tune and 220 for the two control modules. Do you guys think it...

    Aftermarket Audio Install

    I'm finally posting some pics of my install. I'm still not totally done with the grille for the back of the console. I'll post pics when I get that done. I did not have Bose in my Tahoe, and the non-Bose speakers suck even worse than the Bose speakers. I wanted to keep a stock look and add...

    Turn signal/chime volume

    I drove around some today with my new audio system (stock HU w/PAC adapter feeding 2 amps), and there is only one real problem. The turn signal feed is being inserted into the audio stream so that the turn signals, now amplified, are much louder than before. Anybody have any ideas on how to...

    Anybody removed jumpseat or console?

    I'm working out a plan to install a subwoofer in place of my jumpseat, or possibly purchase a console and put the sub in that. Either way, I need to get my jumpseat out and am not sure how to go about it. There is not much room to get to the 4 bolts that hold the jumpseat brackets down. Has...

    Rearview mirror "ICE"

    I started up my tahoe after lunch and it was snowing. I looked at the mirror to see the temperature and it said 32deg then switched and said ICE, then toggled back and forth a few times and stayed on 32. Has anybody seen this before? Is it just a warning for possible icy conditions, or is...

    Snowy Trip Report

    Hey guys, I got back from my 2200mi trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and back. I promised to post some pics as well as report on how well the Tahoe did in the snow. I didn't get a lot of pics, partly due to the fact that it was so cold: (That's negative in case you didn't...

    HPTuners

    I've been looking around trying to find a tuner that would allow you to control the V4/V8 mode to improve fuel economy. Apparently there is a way. HPTuners sell a do-it-yourself tuning kit which you tweak settings on your PC then transfer them to your vehicle. Their forum has a bunch of posts...

    Removing Paint Transfer

    So I was driving down the road while it was really windy out and somebody's recycling bin slid out in to the road in front of me. I nailed the brakes but there was no way I could stop in time, so as I looked in my rear-view mirror I saw half of it still there...the other half was in a few...

    The dreaded chip in the paint...

    So some...ahem...guy parked stupidly close to my Tahoe and smacked his door into it and drove off :mad2: (observed from my office window). When I left for the day I checked it out and there was a nice chip in the paint showing white beneath, presumably the primer. :mad3: What's a guy to do...

    What happened to the General 2007 Section?

    Did anybody else's 2007+ General Discussion section disappear?

    Aftermarket Sound Sytems

    I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could post our NBS aftermarket sound systems. The non-Bose speakers aren't exactly the greatest, so I'm sure this thread could be helpful for those of us that are looking to upgrade the factory sound. Any pics of installs would be great!

    WOT noise

    I have an '07 Tahoe with the Volant PowerCore intake added, no other mods. This has added some power and a more aggressive sound to it which I like. However, I was driving home yesterday in the mountains and was following a guy who was just poking along. We got to an uphill portion and a...
