Congrats on the new '12 LTZ. I just bought mine about a month ago. I previously had an '08 LT3 Z71 which was just fantastic. I could kick myself for trading it in on a Lincoln MKX. But, I finally got the courage and money to pay for my mistake and got back into my Tahoe! Only thing I have...

Can you believe I'm back with a 2012 Tahoe LTZ! I sold the 2008 Tahoe in 2011. Big, big, big mistake! I just corrected it with the purchase of my new 2012 Tahoe. I hope to file a bunch of additional Field Reports later on.

I finally got rid of my crappy 2012 Lincoln MKX. What terrible vehicle as far as the operator/driver is concerned. Their electronics/information system is absolutely the worst thing I have ever experienced. Also, the vehicle is really small inside. No room at all. And lastly, the...

I just bought my 2012 Tahoe LTZ on 25 Oct. I'm getting the dealer to install mud guards/flaps all the way around as well as a hood and window deflectors on all windows. I'm too lazy to do all this myself. I just want to drive my sweet new machine! I might do a grille guard later and a Viper...

Last time I posted we had about 12,000 miles on the '08 Z71 Tahoe and now we've doubled that! This truck still drives like a dream. My wife and I have loaded up the Grandkids and gone to Corpus Christi (we live in San Antonio) for the weekend, took a trip to Coushatta, MS, then north and...

Good Dealership I have 25,300 miles on my '08 Z71 Tahoe. Just recently I was having some unusual noises that have increased over time. My traction control light came on briefly the other day and I had an intermitten sound like a door dragging open coming from the front end. I took the Z...

Well, since I last posted in May, I've put another 6,000 miles on my 2008 Z71 Tahoe. Just about ready to go in for my second oil change! What's gone wrong in the first 12,000 miles? Absolutely nothing! My Z71 still drives like a dream and except for my failed stupid attempt to park next...

Well, after putting 7,800 miles on my 08 LT3 Blue-Granite Metallic Z71, I think it is just a great vehicle! We did some pretty heavy driving in May. Put almost 3,000 miles on the Z on some long trips. Never felt so comfortable driving for long periods in my life. I've owned a Lexus...

Just got back from our 2,066 mile trip from San Antonio to Kinder, LA and then to northwest Oklahoma. My '08 Z71 (stock) started out with just over 3,000 miles on it and now shows over 6,000. Trip was just fantastic. It was initially just me and the Wife to LA and then Oklahoma. Coming...

Ok, thanks for the explanations. I'm in the middle of a 1,600 mile trip in my '08 Z71. Gone about 550 miles so far and it rides just great even over some rough Louisiana roads, through Texas and up close to Oklahoma. Had rain all day Monday coming out of San Antonio thru Houston and up to...

Ok, I have a 2008 Z71 4x2 (no, it's not a 4x4), so what does the Z71 stand for? I know it use to mean off-road, but where did the term "Z71" come from. (Umh, could it just be the item number on the truck order form?) Yesterday I saw a "Z66" Avalanche. What's that?

Follow the link below and see if my LT3 2008 Z71 is what you're looking for. It is Blue-Granite Metallic with Ebony and titanium interior. Very sweet looking. Drives like a dream! http://z71tahoe-suburban.com/iboard/index.php?&act=garage&CODE=12&CID=775

I have mine on "auto" all the time also, but it doesn't effect the re-circulate button. I think it should be smart enough to determine when to stay on and when it needs to go off. Just kind of strange that I have to keep turning it on all the time.

My 08 LT3 has a button that re-circulates the inside air when turned on. My dealer says that it is best to have this turned on anytime I am using the A/C. It does keep outside air from coming into the cabin and lowers your chance of outside smells stinking up your vehicle! My question: Is...

Checkout the below web site. Up in the top right there's a pull-down menu that you can select "Supplier Pricing". Either build your vehicle or find one from the dealers and see what they are showing. You'll notice they also deduct any current rebates/cash-back from the Supplier Discount Price...
