Anyone used these new LCDs in the headrests with their Tahoe? This says the poles are adjustable width, but I'm wondering how well they fit in a Tahoe (the poles are a little thicker in my hoe than in my buddy's Camry, for example)...

The statistics are still out for Royal Purple and other Group II and III synthetics. In fact: "In July 1996, Consumer Reports published the results of a two year motor oil test involving a fleet of 75 New York taxi cabs and found no noticeable advantage of synthetic oil over regular oil."...

You got me convinced. I ordered the shocks. Now I need a lesson in replacing power steering and transmission fluids, and fixing a pinhole leak in a radiator.

Man, ya'll are making this a difficult decision :lol: I do have all the necessary tools, I'm just leery about working on my daily driver. I have no problem working on a project car or my motorcycle... because I know I won't need it *tomorrow*... you know? My emotional side (very small but...

Bilstiens the recommended replacement? I'm ok with investing a little more for some better performance, weight reduction, or a longer life. What's SSBC?

Yeah, it was on the lift while the dude was pointing out everything. The only thing he said really need to be changed pretty soon is: - front shock is definitely leaking (would need to change both fronts at same time) - power steering fluid is nasty black - rotors are warped slightly, i...

What plug/wire set are you all using?

I wear my seat belt out of habit and the same reason I wear all my gear every time I get on my bike: that statistical chance that something happens. I don't really like the completely blacked-out look. Reminds me of Secret Service or whatever. Gimme some more chrome trim somewhere on that.

Oh, and how hard is it to replace shocks? Any recommended do-it-yourself brands?

OK all, this is a sort-of followup to the "thinking of downgrading" thread. I got my alignment done today ($120!%!@#) and they had it up on the lift showing me everything that it needs (2001 Tahoe, 120k): - front shock leaking fluid, all four shocks $600 - new rotors, pads $800 - radiator...

Weird, my tire prices went up by $30. Would think with the petroleum prices going up, all tire prices would be on the rise.

Haha, it'd be great if that's all I needed to do. From my previous experience owning GMs (77 Corvette, 88 Blazer S10, 91 Grand Am, 93 88LSS, 98 Silverado) I figure in the next year or so, my maintenance list will be: - Rear brakes, rotors, possibly a caliper or two - water pump - power...

Man, I got a lot of research to do if I'm going car shopping this weekend :lol:

Unless I get that sick 6.0 TB, haha. Yes, downsizing is a better term for it. I just wonder on reliability - isn't the Envoy/TB a relatively new platform for GM?

What?! 6-liter, aluminum-alloy, Corvette LS2 V-8 rated 395 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, 400 pounds-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm Loooool

North Atlanta - I live 10 minutes from the Mall of Georgia (Bill Heard of Buford is closest to me). The two things I really want are: - 3rd row seating - as much integrated as possible (DVD, BT, etc) I don't mind doing the #2 stuff on my own, I'm handy with mods. But I certainly would rather...

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have an '07 Hoe. I just can't justify a $40,000 vehicle right now. It's more like downgrading from a 15-year-old 4,000 sq ft house to a brand-new 2,500 sq ft one. Think taxes, electric bill, and rooms you never use. A Kia Rondo would be a condo. :lol:

Yeah, 20K range is good for me. I wish I could, but I can't keep the Tahoe too, I already have a motorcycle :lol: It's like I'm rationalizing keeping the big pimpin truck when really, it's needed for maybe 20% of my use. I really SHOULD get a cheap, "sensible" car for my commute... but that...

Those look dope. Gonna be hatin it for you when you need new tires next year.

So I kind of have the new car bug. I'm thinking about selling my Tahoe and getting an Envoy or Trailblazer instead. - lower gas consumption - nicer bits (seat heaters, Bluetooth, third row seats, etc) - no/less maintenance (Hoe has 120k on it, gonna need a lot of stuff soon) I'm willing...
