#2424 of 3125 New Z71 Owner by tom213 Apr 01, 2007 (5:10 pm)
Just traded my 2004 Tahoe Z71 for a 2007 Tahoe Z71. I can't believe the difference in the ride quality! Even those Bridgestone AT tires are amazingly quiet compared to the Goodyears that were on my 2004. Those comments I heard about a smoother ride, even with the Z71 package, hold true. Now for the down side, less than 48 hours after driving out of the dealership, I was back with a major leak from the right rear shock. None in stock, so they ordered and it was there overnite. While it was up on the rack, they found another leak in the front coming from the steering gear assembly! That part they had in stock and fixed it but they had to do a complete alignment which left me roaming the dealership drooling over the 2 Corvettes they had on the floor. Anyway, love the new Tahoe with all the extra goodies I've always wanted (Nav system, etc.).   Tom S.

Replying to: tony20fan (Mar 29, 2007 8:25 pm) My 2007 tahoe is doing the same thing...when i turn corners and accelerating. It is in the shop now again for the 5 time for the same problem along with many more. I have told them about that weird horn noise every time, and they have rode with them and hear the noise also however can not fix it. Or they say we could not duplicate the problem. i am about to file a lemon law if they can not fix the problem, b/c it is getting worse and I am tired of going back to get it fixed!

#2427 of 3125 Need help in towing by donovan2 Apr 10, 2007 (11:36 am)
I just started towing with my 05 Yukon XL and it sucked. So added 410 gears and a diablosport, this did help. The trailer weight is 5500 pounds. This weekend I had it out and coming back over the hills is lost about a quart of tranie fluid. Does anyone have any idea to why?   I had a 1999 Suburban and it pulled great. I don't know what deal is it should be able to handle towing that trailer Replies to this message: jerrywimer (Apr 11, 2007 2:58 am) catam (Apr 12, 2007 4:51 pm) jay_24 (Apr 11, 2007 4:43 am)

Replying to: lahunter2 (Apr 02, 2007 9:13 pm) lahunter2 - Something you "may" want to check is the clearance between the rear springs and the frame rail. After having some work done on mine, I ended up with the spring scuffing the frame rail, making what I think might possibly be the same noise you and tony20fan are hearing. All I had to do to address the situation was to drop the shock and jack up the body until I was able to move the spring over to a more inboard spot on it's perch (roughly 1/4 - 3/8"). Hopefully it is something simple like that for your vehicles as well! Happy hunting!

Replying to: donovan2 (Apr 10, 2007 11:36 am) Did your 99 Suburban have a 5.7l (350ci) V8, or the more recent 5.3l? While the 5.3l (supposedly) makes more overall power and torque, it's weaker on the bottom end. That makes the 5.7 better for towing, where that extra low-end grunt edge it has over the 5.3l shows up most of all. You have to keep the 5.3l wound up a bit more to get at its power.   I have no real idea why you'd have lost any transmission fluid though. Replies to this message: catam (Apr 12, 2007 4:51 pm)

Replying to: donovan2 (Apr 10, 2007 11:36 am) How many people and/or cargo did you have in the Tahoe? Do you have a tranny cooler? (I'm not sure if the Tahoe comes with one or not). I'm guessing the loss of tranny fluid is from over heating of the transmission. Did you use the tow/haul mode? Did it shift in/out of overdrive a lot?
#2431 of 3125 Parts Flying Off 07 Tahoe! by tony97gt Apr 11, 2007 (8:43 am)
My wife and I were on a road trip last weekend, and she was driving. When she accelerated to about 90mph to pass another vehicle, the rear plastic cover on the top of the lift gate flew off. We knew it flew off because we had two bicycles on a hitch rack, and it hit the bikes and made a loud noise. Initially I thought one of the bikes flew off. When I pulled over I noticed the entire cover (including third brake light) was gone. The bikes were not able to make contact with this piece, so that was instantly ruled out as a cause. Has anybody else had anything fly off while driving? Hopefully Chevy will warranty the part. I only have 8k miles.

Replying to: tony97gt (Apr 11, 2007 8:43 am) I'm sure they'll cover it (no pun intended). The 2003 Trailblazer I used to have also had problems with that piece. It sounds like it's still attached with the 3M molding adhesive tape type stuff on the 07's too. I noticed that the TB's was loose while washing it at a car wash (higher pressure wand had it coming up about 1/4" or so from the glass), so I took it to my dealership and they took care of the problem. I didn't see / ask what they did specifically, but it didn't come up again afterwards. I am a bit surprised it took the 3rd brake light with it though. I'd have thought the wiring harness would've kept at least part of that housing from going with the cover and the red lens part! Replies to this message: tony97gt (Apr 12, 2007 12:51 pm)

Replying to: jerrywimer (Apr 12, 2007 3:17 am) It was really windy/gusty when we were driving, and I guess combined with the 90mph speed it just up and went. The clip is still there though where it plugs into the third brake light.
