Metal Rail is correct. The recirculate feature only works with the A/C. It does not work in heat mode.

Not sure if this is your problem but the LTZ has the air suspension. There is a pump located in the rear underneath that will start when the ignition is turned on if it needs to pump up any of the shocks. That may be the noise you are hearing. Not sure about the sound sunder the hood. I...

Where did you get an 02 with a 5.3 Flex Fuel engine? Flex Fuel wasn't available on the 02 models.

COSTCO is offering 5.74% on new car financing (through Capitol One) but you must get loan approved prior to buying new car from dealer. You will have to pay California sales tax if you buy the car in Arizona and register it in California. I had to do this with my Vette which I bought in...

I have an 07 LTZ with 3.73 and 4WD. I have just over 20k miles on it and average about 13.7 around town. I took it on a 3,000 mile trip pulling a tent trailer last month. Averaged between 16 and 17mpg on the highway. I would expect that the 4wd has a negative impact on gas mileage but I...

I have an early 07 LTZ. Some time ago I received a service bulletin from GM that said there was a bug in the computer program and that if you intend to run ethanol that you should take the vehicle to the dealer and have some sort of software upgrade done. I don't plan on using ethanol so I...

I installed mine on 07 LTZ a month or so ago. Here are the part numbers I bought. They work fine. The rears took a bit of time to figure out how the bottoms attached but I finally got them to fit. Front - 17802157 (Note: These fit trucks with assist steps (Factory Running Boards) only...

GMs warranty on all 2007 is 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. If you plan on keeping the truck for 5 years at 12k per year you should be covered by the basic warranty (at least for the powertrain) for your enrire period of ownership. If you do decide you want to purchase an...

GM does send you a card a year after you buy the truck. You can use the info on the car to request the free upgrade.

I owned a 2003 Infiniti FX35. If you are thinking of carrying much on your camping/kayaking/snowboarding trips you should definitely go with the Tahoe. the FX is just too small. The one I had also rode like a roller skate. One of the options that wa son the car included the 20inch wheels...

Chevy dealers should have it. That's what they use in the Corvettes. If you want to do it yourself, you can get a pretty good price at Costco.

I did my first one at 1,500 miles and then every 3,000 miles after that. I know it sounds like overkill but oil is cheap compared to engines.

I got my first free Upgarde in June 2007 (bought 07 Tahoe in June 2006). It is version 2.0.

Here's a link that talks in gereralities about tranny temperature and life. It is not specific to the Tahoe but it does give you a pretty good idea of what effect high temps have on a tranny. http://autos.yahoo.com/maintain/repairqa/transmission/ques123_0.html

I replaced the grille on my LTZ last weekend so I decided to finally start on the handles today. Taking the advice I was given in a prior post I started with the rear doors. The directions that come with the handle aren't very good and the pictures are even worse. Following is what I did...
