You Can’t!!! I wrote to all the major suppliers, they all responded with a simple statement. GM went to a new design, and due to the patent, they cant make the new mount. This included Trico, ANCO, PIAA, Bosh, etc. One VP at Trico did tell me who actually makes the mount and blades for GM, (I have that e-mail at work, and will get it to you tomorrow) I contacted that company, and they have no plans for a winter blade. VERY DISAPOINTING, the GM engineer who came up with this bright ides should be shot then made to drive in this weather. Add this to the lack of a rear window air deflector, the low ground clearance, and you quickly find that this in not a winter vehicle. I just got home, and tried to drive up my unplowed driveway, here in Schenectady we got 20 inches today, and I ripped the air dam right off the front of the truck. Good luck, and if you find something I missed please pass it along.

Hi,
 
Had the same mirror problem on our 2007 Suburban... Dealer replaced it 2x, performed a "cure" yet the glass still vibrates. Now says "it's normal". Annoying at highway speeds. Not to mention they botched the paint job on the mirror and had to redo it. The passenger side mirror glass is solid, no noticeable movement.
 
Do get some door seal/gasket rubbing sounds under certain temps/conditions. Most seems to be coming from the little strip at the glass level between front/rear doors. Silicone does quiet them however.
 
Regards,

We've had the driver's side wiper blade pop off while cleaning snow ice/off the windshield a couple of times now. I'm concerned the blade will fly off on the highway during a snowstorm, that will be fun...
 
Oh and tonight no washer fluid is coming out of the driver's side arm. It was above freezing today so I doubt it froze up...

where to get custom/honeycomb grille for 07 denali by akademik7otter

Are there any companies out there making custom chrome grilles for the 07 gmc denali? I was initially attracted to the grille but would like to remove the GMC logo, giving it a cleaner look. If anyone knows please help me out. THanks.

I heard that there is some kind of fix for no fluid coming out of the washer. Check with your service dept.
 
Tire Rack is the only place I've found that says they sell regular blades with the new attachment. Never got a price.

Anyone here have a 2wd 5.3 with flexfuel. How do you like it? What kind of milage are you getting? Any problems going from reg gas to the ethanol? Also does the flexfuel engine also have the dod (engine mgmt) option?
 
Thanks!

All 5.3L have Active Fuel Management (old name, DOD). As for mileage, it seems to be about mid to upper teens for such a 2wd on regular gas, and that drops with E85 because of the way it burns.
 
Others should also be able to chime in again with more mileage reviews.

I got that 2wd & 5.3 flex fuel. i can't get ethanol around here--just regular gas. I'm aveaging 21.1 mpg .
When I first got it I got 17.5, and it steadily went up and seems to have topped out at 21.1., with I'm very happy with.
 
Tested by the onboard computer and by the old fashioned way. the onboard computer is within about 1/10 mpg.
 
I don't know the highway mileage since I still haven't taken any kind of a long trip in this Tahoe.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am not to concerned about gas milage I was just curious. I would like something slightly better than my 00 Silverado 5.3 4wd (13-15). I would mainly be driving highway (75%) and those numbers arent bad. Its in the middle between my truck and impala.
 
I have flexfuel available not sure on current prices. I did find the perfect tahoe recently on a dealers lot but I wont seriously look until later this summer probably an 08 model?
 
Also are you able to get a 2wd LS model with a sunroof? All the sites I have been on do not have this as an option
