    Losing Coolant from behind throtle body

    This seems to be as typical of a problem as the one DRL going out on these and the heater getting stuck in the hot position. I have a pinhole leak in my radiator apparently. I haven't checked the water pump, but that may be another small leak.

    first oil change with the Yukon!

    I use a Craftsman rubber-type strap wrench on mine. Hand tighten. The oil drips a bit on the frame bit that runs underneath the drain hole. But nothing too messy. I use the NAPA brand oil filters. I also use Shell Rotella T full synthetic. $16 for 1-gallon at Wal-Mart. It's basically...

    No 3rd row seat - or can I?

    Good thoughts. I'll talk with my local dealership guys - they have a huge repair shop and hopefully can hook me up with something. Most are stealerships, but out here in the boonies they're good-ole-boys. Hell, last time I went to order a new remote, they were nice enough to toss me a...

    Need New Tires

    Do you know what size the rotors are in that Denali? If they're 14", they will not clear a 16" wheel. 12" rotors will probably. I ran BFGs on my 77 Corvette. They were good for 40-50k a set both times. I run Goodyear Eagle GTs on 20s now. They last a lot longer than what the shop told...

    How long do I have?

    I'm at 121k and seeing my first real set of issues. 1. Coolant issue - pinhole leak in the radiator. Hopefully that's it 2. Electrical seems spotty, lights dim when the stereo is loud or I roll down more than one window at a time - plan on hopefully fixing with a new alternator and redtop...

    No 3rd row seat - or can I?

    Gotcha, I'm gonna call around a couple of scrapyards around here and see if anyone's got anything. I'm kind of surprised there isn't a part for it. Anyway, thanks!

    No 3rd row seat - or can I?

    Good info, thanks. Are the anchors welded to the floor, or is it a simple bolt-on app?

    No 3rd row seat - or can I?

    My Tahoe is an LS with all the LT package options (don't have a clue why). It did not come with third row seats, nor the setup in the cargo area for it. Is this something I can add on somehow? Parts I can mount somehow?

    Any other suggestion?

    Shell is. The others you'll have to reference to this: http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html Usually they'll say it on the machines or in marketing type signs outside the store. QT has it everywhere.

    What is this speaker?

    There's mods to get the stock OnStar to pair with BT. In fact, it was a rather easy (although pricey) "mod" on my wife's Mercedes, which also was locked to Verizon, and a crappy phone at that. I, on the other hand, will be installing a head unit that has BT integrated.

    The S&B is $217.95 shipped at autoanything.com Only 12 reviews on reseller ratings, though. Good note, they're all positive.

    Any other suggestion?

    Have you ever noticed that when you let off the brakes in traffic, you seem to catch up to others that are doing the same? Damn some aerodynamics and physics. I guess it's the weight of the beast. I think JK was talking about fabbing some plates to reduce drag underneath. Maybe he can...

    Any other suggestion?

    Check the sticky in this forum about top tier gas. Red top, yellow top are deep-cycle batteries that both provide more consistent, cleaner voltage, and more cranking amps for cold starts. Yellow top is more expensive and beefier - a lot of people that do competition audio (you know, the big...

    Any other suggestion?

    If money's no object, there's TONS of mods. Choosing the brand/type is the hard part. - get 87 octane from a top-tier fuel provider - did you change the wires with the plugs, too? - underdrive pulley system - electric fans, electric water pump - redtop battery - some people swear by Royal...

    does a double din dvd fit 04 tahoe

    JK - did you have to fab some plastic to go around the sides? Isn't the stock trim just a little wider than DIN? Hard to tell in the pic. I'm looking to put in a DD 7" DVD/Bluetooth head unit.

    Homelink range extremely short?

    Does the original garage door opener work the same distance, or does it have more range? Might be something in your truck interfering with the RF.

    Again..wheel/tires, sizes and looks.

    From my experience, the ride is incredibly better by going with 20"+. I don't know that the difference is that noticeable between 20 and 22, but that really depends on the tire size. There are far better resources on sizes and offsets on here that'll be able to chime in more.

    LCDs with adjustable headrest poles - anyone use em?

    That's what I was afraid of. Any way to find some small rubber bushings/sleeves to make the poles a little thicker? What did you mount the bracket to? Not real worried about adjusting the height - it's just right for me.
