#1414 of 3125 TROUBLE GETTING A TAHOE TRANSFERRED FROM OTHER DEALERS by gcmartin Jul 17, 2006 (8:07 pm)
I have negotiated a deal on a loaded LTZ 2x4 Tahoe and my dealer is having trouble getting one transferred from other dealers. I have searched all dealers within a hundred miles of my city and given the list to my salesman. Anyone have any pointers to get the deal done quickly so I can get my Tahoe?   Any help would be appreciated...
#1415 of 3125 Grill and bowtie by tony20fan Jul 17, 2006 (8:54 pm)
I got advice from Rockin, but felt that installing the billet grill and tow hooks myself might be too much for me, even though his look great. I took my Tahoe into the local body shop and got the grill, tow hook billet grills, chrome bow tie and also all the Tahoe insignia removed and it's gorgeous. What a difference in the look of the front of the vehicle. Some girls want diamonds, some want pearls, but this girl wanted a billet grill for her birthday and my husband agreed. Definitely the best looking present ever. I'm very pleased, but, like Nacho, I'm also am looking for the rear chrome bow tie. The body shop guy said the one for the front is too curved for the back. He could get the one for the front, pound it flatter and then repolish it to see if it would work, but it's a $99 dollar gamble as that's how much the front one costs. I think I may have the whole thing removed all together - just have him fill in the holes in the back. I'm still debating. Please post if you find an alternative. I'll see if I'm computer savvy enough to post my new grill. Also, thanks to whoever posted the website about the rear fascia cover, I had that installed too. Love it!!

He says you remove the old one and stick this one on. I saw it on a tahoe and it looks really nice, i am thinking of driving there tommorrow and will let you know how it looks.

Replying to: tony20fan (Jul 17, 2006 8:54 pm) I bought a billet rear bowtie and put it on and did not like it. It was just a flat bowtie. I read some of the other comments about removing just the gold bowtie so I tried it. It looks great better than the one I purchased because it is three dim. I recommend using a hard pice of plastic instead of a screw driver, just insert it right under one of the corners of the gold bowtie an pry towards you. make sure you are wearing safety glasses because mine broke into two parts. Once the gold part is off you just have to remove the double sided tape that held it on to the chrome bowtie underneath. Replies to this message: steve_ (Jul 18, 2006 7:03 am)

Replying to: nosbor77 (Jul 13, 2006 9:19 am) Sorry to hear that. What Chevy told you sounds right though. Both the 2003 Trailblazer i6 and the 2004 Silverado 5.3l improved noticably somewhere after the 8-10k mark. The Trailblazer actually hit the 22mpg mark locally right before I traded it for the truck, while the truck's best was around 21.7. The truck was routinely getting mid to upper 19's and occasionally into the low 20's when I traded it a week and a half ago (my new 07 Av came in finally- WOOHOO ).   The Av has ranged between 17.3 and 21.4 mpg so far, with the 21.4 being all highway (but quite a bit of steep interstate). It has just over 2000 miles on it now, because we took it for a trip home to visit family in WV. Considering I ordered it with the 4.10 rear end (for towing purposes) it's doing outstanding right now and should get better with time, as yours should. I'd expect the 3.73 equipped vehicle to do maybe 1-2 mpg better on the highway than mine though.
#1422 of 3125 Re: Automatic seat recall difficulty [73shark] by jerrywimer Jul 18, 2006 (7:20 am)
Replying to: 73shark (Jul 13, 2006 6:59 pm) Had the same exact problem and solution with my Avalanche. As far as I know there isn't a way to change when the seat returns to your position (driver 1 or 2). I've turned off the easy exit function, but left the driver position memory feature on. So now my seat only moves when the person unlocking / driving is different than the last time the Av was driven. I figure it's easier on the seat motor not to be running all the time, especially since I have to deal with the normal seated position when entering anyway.

Replying to: rockin_ltz (Jul 15, 2006 5:47 am) You didn't disable anything concerning the way the low/highbeam headlights work on the 2007 when you installed your HIDs. The low beams stay on with the high beams now (just like on my Avalanche). Evidently GM / Chevy has been watching enthusiast web sites and picked up on the fact that this has been an extremely common mod in the past and decided to take that into consideration when designing the new trucks.
