    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...

    Useless trivia for you: there's just enough of an electrical charge running through your body to amplify the signal sent out by your FOB. :Chevy:

    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...
