    i had my tahoe in the other day to get the oil changed. the wife comes back and says the service manager told her our bow tie was in bad shape and if she had an extra 10 minutes he would fix it under warranty. i assumed he was just looking for a way to get a few extra bucks. later that day my...

    Used 07 VS new 08: what would you do?

    i hate to bust your bubble but the dealer aint your friend! the last thing that should be on your mind is what the dealer will think! the dealership and all its employees are there for one reason and one reason only! and that is to get the money. some are more subtle than others but i am a...

    what oil for the 6.2 motor?

    i have one of the few LTZ tahoes with the 6.2L motor. i guess because there were so few released in 08 they didnt list the oil requirements in the manual. the 6.2 in my vette which i assume to pretty much be the same motor is to only use mobil one. so what does gm say to use in the denali or the...

    Tahoe 6.2

    there is NO comparison! the only thing the 5.3 has in common with the 6.2 tahoe is that they are both tahoe's. my friend bought a 5.3 and i bought a 6.2 and other than our driveline our vehicles are identicle. he gets an average in the 14mpg with mixed driving with his 5.3 & i get 17.2 mixed...

    08' LTZ Price Quote... What do you think?

    i bought a fully loaded LTZ with the 6.2 motor and 6 speed auto trans for 41k. my partner bought the 5.3 with the 4 speed auto trans. the bigger motor and better trans are more expensive but more than worth the couple grand difference in price.

    Reasonable Trailer sizes?

    i dont know your your financial status but assuming that doesnt enter the equation. it is my opinion that the tahoe/yukon especially with the big motor are more than capable of towing. stopping and stability are where i feel you need more than they have to offer. in my experience a dual wheel 1...

    Corvette calipers on Tahoe?

    you can have disc brakes on your tahoe! the LTZ that comes with the 6.2 motor and 6 speed trans has 4 wheel disc brakes so i assume that you can order all the parts.
