I just purchased my first Suburban. 2001 1500 LT really just a basic but clean truck. The currently has stock rims but with a Mastercraft block tread design tires. They have to go ! Noise and vibration. Please help with suggestions for good replacements. Will not see off road so tread can be very conservative. Question #2 It has a slight oil leak on the front drive shaft, drivers side inboard or output area of the 4wd shaft. Common ? Easy fix ? Thanks - John |

Hi Owners, Just thought I would share my tahoe experience with the form for any comments (helpful). I purchased my first Tahoe in July of 2004. It was a 2001 LT with 53K miles. I work out of town so the vehicle is driven by my wife mostly bringing the our 4 children here and there. About two or three weeks after owning the vehicle my wife noticed that the material on the backs of the second and third row seat was beginning to deteriorate. I mean there was no tear it was just disappearing... A really strange thing as if the material was just not durable. Anyway after six months we did not have backs on our seats. I showed it to my salesman but he was like - your problem man... After that I started looking for alternative for getting the seats repaired.. I finally decided that I would trade the vehicle in for a new Tahoe. I purchased the new Tahoe Feb 25 2005. Two week after my wife drove the vehicle around guess what problem reappeared?? Yes the seat starting deteriorating again. I showed it to the dealer and this time because the car is less than 30 days old they are going to repair it. Anyone else with this problem? Thanks, Tqtclipper

Replying to: tqtclipper (Mar 23, 2005 3:01 am) Are you putting something on them to clean or attempt to protect them? We haven't had any issues with our 2003. Seats have held up well with 3 kids climbing over them daily. -jay

Replying to: tqtclipper (Mar 23, 2005 8:48 am) The seat backs might be vinyl and just the seating surfaces leather. I don't know if the Tahoe does this but some manufacturer's do this. Don't know. Ours (cloth with a carpet like back) have held up really well.
