Replying to: deovindice (Sep 27, 2006 8:36 am) The AC system REALLY pulls down the mpgs!!! It was nice enough the last trip I made that I did some experimenting with the AC on and the AC off. It goes and holds in V-4 MUCH quicker/easier with the AC off and was good for about 1mpg in and of itself! I switched to running 92 octane in my Tahoe based on feed back on other sites - this brought both the power and milage up. (From what I've read - the computer is quick to pull timing out if ping is noted and slooooooow to bring it back in - thereby limiting potential damage to the engine - but also hurting mpg/performance) - I was going to try 89 - but the station I buy my gas at - there is only a $.05/gallon difference to go from 89 to 92 so I jumped all the way to 92. I am running the tires at 40 PSI instead of 35. Noticed basically no difference in ride - but it does "seem" to coast further/easier, and tightened up the handling a bit. And I am running the Zoomers cat back exhaust which netted an improvement of about 1mpg right out the gate. I have yet to be able to fill up with non-10% ethanol gas - and would assume that I might pick up some additional milage there - but I have to drive out of my way to get to that station - so at this point, I haven't made it a priority to try. For reference - my 'Hoe is a 4x4, LT3 with 4.10 gears and 8900 miles on the clock and runs non-synthetic oil (plan on switching next change)

Has anyone had any problems with their Billet Grille's finish "flaking" off? I purchased a Carriage Works polished aluminum grille from Anythingtrucks.com and have only had it for a few months. The finish is flaking off in a few places and I was wondering if anybody else who maybe purchased a Carriage Works Grille may have had this problem. Here's a picture of what I'm talking about:  See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com">

Replying to: peedy (Sep 28, 2006 12:32 pm) However, the way the question was asked, it sounds like he was just asking about using the existing CD player to play DVD's on.  If that's what was being asked...Then you won't be able to view movies.

Replying to: rockin_ltz (Sep 28, 2006 4:32 pm) You must have a DVD/NAV unit from the factory to play DVD's. Coastaletech's device of course does not make a DVD play in a CD player! I have now installed the device and have mostly good news. The device allows a quick plug-in installation that will allow DVD's to play while the vehicle is in motion. It also allows provides menu functionality to the AUX port as well. I did not do the secondary installation that requires wire cutting to allow for NAV input while driving. After installation, a quick test drive confirmed that it worked as advertised.... except I can't control the volume!!. You override by hitting the mute button on the steering wheel 4 times. Once overridden, the override can be killed by hitting either volume up or down on the steering wheel, or by hitting the OnStar button. I assumed (and I hope I'm right) that the volume control on the dash would still allow volume adjustment. Mine does not. To adjust volume you must kill the override, guess where you want the volume and then go back to override. I've emailed and I'll be calling Coastaletech tomorrow. If this is "normal" behavior, I'll be returning the product. Stay tuned.....
