    Fuel Filters- How Long?

    My gas mileage is really dragging the last few weeks, I'm at 76k and haven't reaplaced the fuel filter since the 30k service back in '05. Should I go ahead and have it replaced and see if that helps?

    I don't get it...

    Why are the resale values absolutely horrible on these things if it is still one of the most reasearched cars on KBB. I don't get that :skep: . I'm trading my wifes 2007 for a 2009 Yukon when they start taking orders and I'm planning on only getting around $25 or $26k for it after paying $43k in...

    Anybody else with this A/C quirk?

    On my wifes 2007 LT3, if the air conditioner has been on for a while (more than say 2 hours), it starts blowing burning hot air, blowing cold air, blowing burning hot air, and so on. If you turn it off for a few minutes and turn it back on, it will stay cool. Anybody else having this :nonod: ...

    Locking Rear Diff.

    What's going on yall. Does the RWD Tahoe have a locking rear differential, or was it an option on the 2000-2006 models?

    Help with the leather!

    I know this question has been asked before, but who do I need to go to about getting the leather on my front seats replaced? I want the factory leather, but I don't know whether to take it to my Chevy dealer or take it to an auto upholstery shop. I know some people do it themselves, but honesty...

    E85, better mileage than expected!

    Tried E85 for the first time tonight, it won't be a regular thing, just have always wanted to give it a try. I filled it completely up with E85, it held 25.3 so it only had 7/10 of a gallon of gas left in the tank. It was a 30 mile drive back to my hotel on the interstate and I averaged 16 MPG...

    Does anybody use E85?

    I'm going to a conference in Atlanta next weekend and I know there are a couple E85 stations in the area. I've never used it before, I don't think it's ever going to amount to anything, I keep hearing that it's going to be a thing of the past in the next couple years :skep: , but anyways, I was...

    Stabilitrak in snow and ice?

    Just drove my Tahoe for the first time in slow today, crazy, huh :smilielol: ? Had to make a trip up to north Alabama for business and it's like a blizzard for me up here (probably only amounted to 2.5 inches) having only driven in snow a couple times in my life. Anyways, it handled beautifully...

    Just bought Yukon Denali for daughter!

    Just added the third Tahoe/Yukon to our household. Just bought a 2003 Yukon Denali with 30k miles for my 16 year old daughter. Didn't plan on buying for another month or two since she gets her license at the end of February, so it looks like I'm driving a Denali for a few weeks! Just couldn't...

    Why do they keep giving me 10w-30?

    I brought my '04 Tahoe in for a 3k oil change a couple days ago after traveling for Christmas and once again, they put in 10w-30 oil. I asked them why and they said "all gm currently distributes is 10w-30." I use regular oil, not synthetic and they have been putting 10w-30 in it for over a year...

    Can anybody top this?

    Just made the drive from Greenville, SC back home to Birmingham, AL (about 4 hours) going between 70 and 75 the whole way in my '04 Tahoe LT (40k miles) and averaged 20.7 MPG, which topped my personal best of 19.2. I didn't believe it at first, but I filled it up when I got home and it was...

    Could my transmission be going?

    My Tahoe just has about 40k miles on but it seems like it has been falling apart the last month or two. Instrument panel replaced, crossmember replaced, tire pressure monitors replaced, and now I need to take it in and have the Stabilitrak worked on :eek: , all since the beginning of October. I...

    Who has had both?

    My wife is ready to trade her 4Runner in for a new Tahoe. She doesn't like to keep anything longer than about 45k miles :rolleyes: . She has decided on a Tahoe, mine got her hooked. I have yet to drive the new bodystyle, but I have been driving my '04 for 3 years now. Is there anybody out there...

    Stability System Problem?

    I was just driving home from church making a slow (maybe 15 mph) right hand turn on to my street and "STABILITY SYS ACTIVE" appeared on my DIC and the brake felt like it was grinding like it does when ABS kicks in, however I was going slow and the Tahoe was totally under control. After the brake...

    How long do I have?

    I have a 2004 Tahoe LT, the odometer just hit 42,000 yesterday. I really like my Tahoe and plan to drive it as my primary car until it hits about 100k miles, but keep it as a second truck after that. I have always had the oil changed every 3k-3500 miles and taken great care of the truck, so...
