#2204 of 3125 Re: 2007 Tahoe Steering Wheel Volume Controls [bk777] by saratogalake Jan 19, 2007 (4:04 pm)
Replying to: bk777 (Jan 19, 2007 7:21 am) I think lighted volume controls on the steering wheel would be nice but almost impossable to see (since there behind the other radio controls) without moving your head to the right and down. This takes your eyes off the road.. The + control does have a little indent on the back and the - control does not. This makes it easy to figure out and use. I have not had a problem.. By the way, I have over 21,500 miles on my 2007 Tahoe. With the exception of the failure of the CD player right from the factory (it was replaced in 3 days and works perfect now) I'm 100% happy with my purchase. I traded a 1996 GMC Yukon with 143,000 miles for it. Steve Replies to this message: csprick (Jan 19, 2007 5:35 pm)

Replying to: saratogalake (Jan 19, 2007 4:04 pm) LOL. Didn't mean to generate all this discussion, I was just driving around one night and suddenly remembered that my new Tahoe has volume controls on the steering wheel. I had never used them, since I'm a rather large guy with long arms and accustomed to simply using the dash controls. Anyhow, I fumbled around for them and, while at a stop light, looked for them but never discovered them until I got home in the garage. Now I use them all the time, since I know where they are, and yes, I can find them by feel just fine. I actually can see them from my normal steering wheel and head/driving position and by glancing down, just as well as the other wheel mounted controls.   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.

Replying to: 73shark (Jan 19, 2007 7:20 pm) Yup. I managed to kill my battery during my first weekend of ownership (long story- but left the key in ACC and the radio / Nav on overnight in my garage). Fearing the possibility of killing some electronic gidget, I religiously followed the jumpstarting procedures in the Owner's Manual. When it started, everything was going haywire. Between some stuff being 'forgotten' because of the lack of juice and the loss of communications between different systems when the power was gone, it's no wonder. One of the interesting things was the "Reduced Engine Power" message that was displaying along with the engine surging, stumbling, etc. for the 15 minutes I let it run to build up enough juice in the battery. As far as I can tell part of the engine issue was that it was switching back and forth between 4 and 8 cylinder mode will sitting in neutral trying to idle..   Two restarts (5 minutes apart) later, and everything seemed back to normal, except for the Check Engine light. It took the dealership resetting a code to get rid of that one..
#2208 of 3125 After Market RIMS/TIRES, TIRE MONITORING by dlmart2 Jan 24, 2007 (11:11 am)
I purchased some aftermarket 22" rims/tires for my 07 Denali and my "tire monitor service" light is on, as I was told it would be by the company I purchased the rims from...they told me that if it comes on to take the vehicle to the dealer to have them adjust the monitoring service for the tire pressure etc.; well I went to the dealer today and they told me there is nothing that can be done and the light will always be on because they are after-market rims/tires and that the original rims/tires had the monitoring device in it, in which the computer now can't read..and I would just have to live with the warning light being on.   This seems lame. Doesn anyone else have any experience with this. I feel like the GMC service dept was blowing smoke up my rear...so I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue? Any fixes?

#2209 of 3125 HID (What all do I need)? by dlmart2 Jan 24, 2007 (11:18 am)
I want to upgrade to HID headlights but have no idea what it takes. I don't plan on doing it myself, as I have absolutely no electric or install skills, so I plan on paying a company to install them (btw they will charge $150 is that good or bad?); but I need to know exactly what type of lights to purchase. Can someone post the exact parts/part number, quantity etc for each item and a suggested place to purchase them from so I can order them and take them to the installer?   I have a 2007 Denali and would like the blue or purple look.

Replying to: dlmart2 (Jan 24, 2007 11:18 am) The below attached site is one that was posted several months ago as being a good place to buy HID upgrades. http://highintensityxenon.com/products/description.php?II=2&PA=0

Replying to: rwerner (Jun 16, 2006 6:45 pm) Hello, did you by chance get that in writing that the DSP is included? I'd like to have a private chat about this. Would you email me at ap051yahoo.com. I'd like to compare what you were told versus what I was told.

Replying to: 2007yukonp (Jun 16, 2006 12:16 am) Did anyone at the dealership tell you before you bought your truck that you would have DSP or Audiopilot?
