I really really want the new Chevy Tahoe, at the moment I have a 04 GMC Yukon. It has 50,000 miles on it and is giving me a lot of trouble. Unfortunatly I would be upside down if I get rid of it now as I think my pay off is around 25,000, maybe a little more. I would definatly be at a negative but I so want this new tahoe. SOme people have said I should get the Odyessy minivan, I have 3 kids and a 90 lb dog that goes with us a lot of places. However we do live in California and go to Lake Tahoe al ot in summer/winter so I feel like we should have AWD. A lot if times it is just the kids, myself and the dog that go up (hubby does NOT like the snow). I certainly do not want to deal with chains by myself. ANyway I just read in Car and Driver about the Tahoe coming out with a hybrid in 2008, I had not heard anything about this and does anyone know if this really is right? How nice that would be.

Replying to: csprick (Jan 18, 2007 7:57 pm) Are you aware that the fuel filter location on your vehicle has been changed. It is now located inside of the fuel pump. The fuel pump is installed inside the fuel tank. You ask, Do they have to drop the tank to replace it? You betcha... Do you have to buy a new pump to replace the filter? Oh Yeah...'ya sure do. It's a unitized assembly...yuk,yuk,yuk... Who does this help? Me...no. You...no. The dealer...ye$$$$. GM...ye$. Unfortunately, the cost of replacing the old style filter at a dealer now is about $800-$1000...used to be $120 installed in the previous model design. Careful buying dirty gas...it could cost you more than you know! |

Replying to: bk777 (Jan 19, 2007 7:21 am)  I live in a state (Ohio) that is known for its poor fuel cleanliness standards (I typically change my fuel filters at 60-70k). REALLY looking forward to changing this one now.

Replying to: saratogalake (Jan 19, 2007 4:04 pm) Anyhow, I didn't know if they were supposed to be lighted or not. Now I know, so no big deal. I've never yet owned a vehicle without finding something that could have been done better, IMHO, but I'm an engineer, so that's probably natural. The fuel filter, however is new news and a BUMMER ! Thanks for making my day, bk777!  Even with that knowledge, I do love my 07 Tahoe. I'm old enough to have owned the original Chevy Blazers, before the term "SUV" existed. They were great also and about the size of the Tahoes -- I hauled a lot of Boy Scouts around South Texas in mine -- it was perfect. |
