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

Replying to: uncommonman (Sep 16, 2002 10:26 am) I'm having this same problem on my 99 Tahoe. Where is the resistor pack? How do I get to it? Actually, I'm not sure where the blower housing is? Replies to this message: booog (Jun 30, 2008 12:47 pm)
#6296 of 6383 0% 72 mos. by rtapscott Jun 27, 2008 (9:59 am)
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.

Replying to: rtapscott (Jun 27, 2008 9:59 am) I think you will find invoice a lot lower than that. On my 2005 SLT, I believe the difference between MSRP and invoice was close to 10k   If I could get the invoice and 0% I'd think about moving up to a Hybrid, although I doubt I'll get much on my trade in

Replying to: booog (Jun 24, 2008 8:29 am) I went to Checker to get the resistor pack and manual. When I described the problem to the guy working there, he suggested I first change the fan switch. The $25 part, and a fairly easy change, did the trick.
#6299 of 6383 Tahoe Z71 Handling by soonerbigdog Jul 08, 2008 (6:07 pm)
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) I have a '04 Tahoe, which probably is the same base as '02?   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 Replies to this message: soonerbigdog (Jul 29, 2008 3:50 pm)
#6301 of 6383 Cross bars for roof rack by alston28 Jul 25, 2008 (10:46 am)
My 2005 Tahoe has a roof rack but didn't come with the cross bars. Could someone point me to some good information on the web about them - I can't seem to find any. I found one site that seems to offer OEM bars for around $100. I've been told that Thule and Yakima have good systems - but you seem to have to buy a whole rack for around $300. Can I get something less expensive? Thanks.

Replying to: arrie (Jul 09, 2008 8:10 am) Arrie,   Thanks for the tips. I'll definitely give this a try.   SD
