I have a 2005 Z71 Tahoe. On the freeway today the oil pressure was sitting on 80 psi. I got home, turned it off, and checked it 5 minutes later. This time it was past 80, probably 100-110psi. Several hours later it had gone down to 70 psi. I check the amount of oil and it is dead on. I figured the sensor was probably broken, but it’s moving around a lot for that. Use 10W-30 Motor1 full synthetic in AZ summer. Any idea on the cause? |

The Battery is dead on our 2003 Tahoe. Given its 5 years old and hasn't been started in 3 weeks, I'm not too suprised. Any suggestiosn on replacement battery? Is there anything special in the replacement procedure? 2003 LS with power locks and security system --Jay |

Have used the round cell batteries sold at COSTCO. Two cars have them in service four 4 years and one we use in a motor sailer. They are leak proof, costly but of good quality. Mike Holt |

I'm looking to buy a Tahoe LT3 or Yukon Denali. GM announced its new financing deal this morning and I'm trying to determine how it's impacting the pricing. $7000 owner loyalty rebate or 72 mos. at 0%. Nobody's jumping over themselves on invoice discounts or even selling at invoice. What's the deal with invoice? I thought that invoice pricing was pretty common and that you could even negotiate a discount on invoice. The MSRP on the Yukon is $43,100 and I figure an invoice of around $38,790. The MSRP on the Denali is $53,170 and I'm told that the invoice is $49,019. Shouldn't I be able to get them to finance the invoice amount without cutting into them too deeply? What about discounts in addition to the $7000. Shouldn't they be willing to do inoice minus $7000 minus a little more? Any thoughts based on today's news would be appreciated.

I have an '02 Tahoe w/Z71 which, for lack of a better word, just feels 'goosey' at highway speeds. A new front end within last 9 months& new Goodyear Triple Treads helped some, but the truck still doesn't exactly inspire confidence at 75 mph. Any suggestions that might improve the handling?

Replying to: soonerbigdog (Jul 08, 2008 6:07 pm) Anyway, I had a problem with front tire wear at inside edge, i.e. toe was open. When I took it to a shop for alignment it was right in the middle of the tolerance. I asked to close the toe to the minimum limit on the tolerance and this seems to have fixed the issue. I also put on Triple Tread Fortera tires right after alignment job and after 6000+ miles don't see any inside / outside wear on them. Handling also is very good. I think the toe setting what GM recommends is for mostly slower speeds. When you drive fast highway speed the down force lowers the vehicle. This in turn, believe or not, changes the toe and I think with these trucks the toe opens. For handling with high speed you want to have the toe at zero so closing the toe a little bit might do the trick for you. I had the same problem with a Ford Crown Victoria. That car was just awful when I went to pass someone on a 2-lane highway where it often must be done fast. Moving that big car sideways to on-coming traffic lane fast so that the car would lean left caused it to want to go further left as the left front suspension lowered under the leaning. This opened the toe and you really had to put a lot of steering input to keep the car from leaving the road. On that car I had the toe checked and it also was in the tolerance area. We checked the toe by pulling down on front of the car and it clearly made the toe open up quite a lot. I then asked to set the toe to the minimum limit and it was a huge improvement on handling. On my Tahoe the handling did not improve that much I guess because it never was as bad as on the Crown Victoria but this is something you might want to try. I know front alignment costs $45 or so but I think it is well worth it. Arrie
