Will stick with 3.73 by chile96
May 30, 2006 (9:11 am)

thanks guys - i'll stick with the 3.73 The dealer showed me his invoice on the "official GM printout" and asked how much over that I wanted to pay. Of course I replied nothing and he said fine, sign here. I did but when I got home edmunds shows invoice(inc dest charges) to be at $40,800 but he said it was at $41,700. When I called later to confront him on that he stood by his "invoice" and said they weren't making a dime off of me. I'm still happy in that it's $3700 off of sticker with about 10 secs of negotiating
 
Is this just an incredible deal or is there some GM money hidden in there somewhere that dealers are not telling us about?

Dett LTZ
 
I have been considering adding the chrome tow hooks as well. I like that the black bowtie isnt everywhere and I have been considering painting my gold one but would rather not. I would prefer an OEM replacement.
 
If you or I am able to find a black bowtie for the front I will sell you my set of chrome bowties for cheap. That way you can get one that will fit the back of your setup.
 
Anyone know how to Post pics in a reply?

Regarding what is really invoice, there always seems to be a few hundred dollars difference between what's on-line, and the dealer's numbers. But as for "not making a dime", that's not exactly true.
 
There is a thing called "hold-back", which is paid (or credited) to the dealer after the sale. This is something like 1.75% or more of the "invoice" cost. You could say that "technically" it is not profit realized at the time of sale, but that's semantics.

GMC Yukon Questions! by sony1

the 07 yukons don't have drls (daytime running lamps) like the 07 tahoe.
 
on the yukon, the headlights are always on and are used as a drls during the day (dim) then as headlights at night.
 
Does anyone know if it would be possible to get HID's put in? i see some kits that are sold at places like jpcustoms but are for the tahoe exclusively.
 
Does anyone know what type of bulb the yukon uses? its definitely not 9005 or 9006 like the 01-06's.
 
its kind of ticks me off that i buy a 54k denali and it doesn't at least have HIDs.
 
any help?

Did you trade anything, or is this a cash deal?

Cushioned Ball Mount on 2007 by rat55chevy

Anyone try a cushioned ball mount yet on your 2007? I'm wondering if it will stop the jerking. The drop required will still have a mechanical advantage so I dont think it will stop the jerking but maybe reduce it.

Pic posting instructions are in the Help link on the left.
 
But an easier way is to set up a CarSpace album. Go to CarSpace.com and log in with your Edmunds user name and password - that sets up your page. Then edit your album and it's easy to browse your hard disk and paste photos from it.
 
Check out my album for an example.
 
Drive on over and see me!

'07 Toy add on.... by sjenkinzz

Picked up my new splash guards today from the dealer. Ordered the splash guards for an '07 Cadilac Escalade. They will fit my '07 Tahoe LTZ. The difference between the Chevy and the Cadilac is the Caddies's are painted. Very sharp. Will spend a little time in the garage this weekend to mount them.

I have an LT3 with 4.10's as that was the only way I could get the G80 locking differential when I ordered mine. I find the 4.10's to be a nice addition for intown driving (helps to get the Tahoe moving easier) but if you are going to be driving a doing a lot of highway in your daily commute - you may want to look at the 3.73's to help lower highway rpm and increase milage.
I have just a tick over 1k on mine so far. Combined milage 50/50 highway/city for the last tank was 14.8 with the only highway road trip thus far (performed with around 450 miles on it) was 17.8 but was DEFITELY still breaking in.
I will be taking it for a 700 mile round trip in another 2 weeks and will have a better idea of what true highway milage will be then (highway speeds of 70 - 80mph)
After I get back I will be bolting on a Zoomer's Cat back exhaust that is supposed to be good for both additional ponies and milage and may help the 5.3 breath a bit better at highway rpms.
Hope that helps!
Todd
