    Latest Navigation DVD

    Does anyone know what the "U" at the end means? Mine does not have it, but came new with my truck. My friend has on 07 and got the free update. His updated CD has the "U" at the end. So, does the U mean Update, and has the same info as my 25974486

    Lock pick problems

    Not yet. I had to make a copy of my Nav disc and send it to him for testing purposes. I should hear something back in the next week or 2

    Lock pick problems

    From Mid November till about a week ago, my Lockpick has been great! Definitely not trying to discourage anyone from getting one. The guys at CoastalETech are great too. They said that they've only heard of one other occurrence like mine. They said that they'll do whatever they have...

    Lock pick problems

    Anyone having an issue with their Coastaletech lockpick? The guys at CoastalETech are cool, and trying to help. They say it's an issue with the new Nav CD Ver 4.0c The strange thing is, this is the CD that came with my truck. But, they said that it can take a couple months for error...

    2-Way Advanced Remote

    They didn't cut the tint on mine. My 2 way remote works farther then my original remotes. I'd say about twice as far from what I've seen.

    Hybrid LED Tails

    I think he was talking about hybrid tahoe lights, which have the same dimension taillight, just not sure if the wiring harness and mount is the same between them. And yeah, Tahoe and Escalade tail lights are different.

    LOL, but I like math! And I'm not even a math wiz/engineer, but again, these computations are too hard for a simple minded human. So, from my little 7 min test, I found that after: 1 min, I used .009103 gal 2 min, was about .017619 gal 3 min, .026636 5 min, .047058 7 min, .062842 gal...

    Lol, ok, so after the truck sat for about an hour, I tried the autostart for 5 min before heading out. MPGs remained at 5.8 No change. I give up for now.

    Fuel Used

    Ok, so I did my own test today. Reset my AVG MPG 1/2 mile from home. Got home, and it was at 21MPG after 1 min, 15.4 MPG 2 min, 12.2 MPG 3 min, 10.0 MPG So, that proved to me how fast they will drop. Then I did an auto start with the keys out for 2 min, It dropped to 7.1 MPG...

    This is great! I feel like I'm in school again and have a homework assignment. You're right, A will change more. If we knew the final MPG after the 20 minutes, we could determine how much fuel was burned to bring the average down, since no more mileage was put on after the 1/2 mile runs...

    You still failed to answer my 2 questions though: 1) Did you try and drive 4 blocks again, and watch the AVG drop when you park/idle? 2) Is my math off? MPG is simple - Distance traveled / fuel used. You're way overthinking this by talking about RPM's and accelerating. My example...

    Wow, I feel like a dork, and am by no means a math wiz, but check my math here. your 16.4 MPG was from about 4 blocks, which usually equals about 1/2 a mile, right? So; .5 (miles) / 16.4 (avg) = .0304878048780487804878 (gal used) .5 (miles) / 16.0 (avg) = .03125 (gal used) 20 min...

    Did you try what I suggested though? To answer your questions, 1) Hybrid. I get anywhere from 17 to 26 MPGS (I posted about the 26 mpg day, it was a 50 mile round trip, but never went above 60 MPH, I think I even have a pic of the DIC, but anyways) Also, if you're not to sure about...

    Try this. Reset your AVG the same distance away (or farther). When you get home, put the truck in park, while idling, and watch how fast the MPG's drop over a matter of minutes. I agree that idle uses less fuel then driving, but 20 minutes of the truck running will drop the average much...

    Fuel Used

    Yeah, that does make sense. I didn't post my first tank (which was almost 3 gal short of what I pumped). So, 3 fill ups in a row, they were all short, thats what got me thinking. If they varied (some high, some low) I'd be with you on this. That could be. I'll test the remote start...

    Fuel Used

    Does anyone check the fuel (gallons) used against the gallons pumped when filling up? I only have about 3,000 miles on my truck. My last fill up, my gauge said I used 22.8, and I pumped 24.06. The time before, my cluster said I used 22.5 gal, and I pumped 24.3. Just wondering if the...

    2008 Hybrid Talk

    Haven't tried changing anything like that. Let us know if it works. The 'regen braking' is done through the electric motors in the tranny, so wheels shouldn't effect that at all. I'd love to find more tech info on how this thing works. In the winter 'chicago' the motor will NOT turn off if...

    2-Way Advanced Remote

    If you get it, leave the plastic on the screen till you find something better to cover it. I took mine off right away, and the screen is pretty beat up after about 3 months. Just a FYI.
