    How to do that?

    Hi! There is a code saying pass airbag deactivated. But there is no way to activate it again? Please help. Thanks! Jim

    Oil change interval

    I am following the dash info. Its +/- 10 k Mi. Reasonable but not as good as the European cars. Jim

    Oil change interval

    Yeah, some things are too sticky in the minds as to be changed. :D:D:D p.s. I did not say that 20k applies for a 'hoe. Jim

    2nd battery

    Not yet. Would be a bit too far and wet from Europe to the US :D Also it happened only two times. I think it is the radio spinning a CD. With a 2nd battery it may spin a bit longer :-) Jim

    anyone else with 6.2 ltz tahoe?

    I both have a 5.3 Suburban and a XL Denali. Of course you feel the difference. Like computers the new one is not fast unless you notice how slow the old one is. The Denali is not overpowered but significantly quicker than the 5.3. I once did the 0-60 for both. About 10 sec for the Suburban...

    Oil change interval

    Really funny to read this thread. Here in Europe it is common to change every 20-25k miles - not km. Good that the old days of 5k oil changes are over even in the US. Frankly speaking it was about time. So do not worry about 10k changes or more. Btw. in former times the oil guys could decide...

    2nd battery

    Hi! Like others I am experiencing problems with the stock battery. It works most of the time but not everytime though :-(. Instead of changing it I want to know if it is wise to install just a second one. The 2nd battery bay is completely free so this should be no problem. But how to...

    How Do You Like This Orange/Black Tahoe??

    In England all trains need to have yellow paint on the front of the engine. Any similar law for SUVs on the US? :-)

    2012 Tahoe stops being a truck....

    If so I would have to go back to the Town and Country. Got 39 MPG diesel average of 100k mi. Jim

    2012 Tahoe stops being a truck....

    For me I would prefer to have it stay like it is. If they change it will make a difference in quality. At least in the first years until they get it to work right. Jim

    Dots in navigation

    Hi there, as said I wonder what the dots are in the nav system? They seem to follow some streets but not all on them. Any idea what they try to stand for? Jim

    Yucon or Tahoe

    It is road noise. It is known that all these models do not have perfect insulation - lacks far behind to a Chrysler Town & Country or my Ford Super Duty - the Denali is much worse than the Suburban. Please do not ask me why; have no idea. The engine sound you may like or not but that is not the...

    Yucon or Tahoe

    Yeah, my comparison is not perfect. Fact is that I - only - have these two SUVs mentioned above. What it comes down to is that even if the Denali is more expensive and has a bit more power I would opt for the Burb if I was asked for again. Btw. Just rented an Avenger. Oh my god! Now I...

    Stuck between LT2 and LTZ

    Yep. You are right. I was referring to new cars. Sorry for overlooking the collectors market. Jim

    new features on the 2009 Tahoe

    As you know I have both the 07 Yukon XL Denali and the 07 Suburban LT. The Denali has the big engine and the 6 speed, the Burb came with the 5.3 and the 4 gears. Mileage is better on the burb by about 2-3 MPG which is some 20 %. Thus the 6 speed cannot compensate for the bigger engine. Would...

    Stuck between LT2 and LTZ

    Whichever way you turn it buying a car never is an investment. Once I read in a newspaper to invest in a car. But that was an advertisement. Still loughin... Jim

    Stuck between LT2 and LTZ

    Take the LT2. LTZ is a bit of a too big step in regards of pricing. Better to take the LT2 and chose the options you really want. If you take them all off course chose the LTZ. Jim

    Yucon or Tahoe

    Getwired, this is easy. I bought the Suburban for my wife here in Austria. I liked the Chevy's look better than the GMC. For myself I have a long Ford F-250. As I bought a house in California I was split in between the F250 or another Burb. I felt more passenger capacity is better than cargo...
