With the bottom of your fist, tap up around the dome light over the 3rd row seat. It may be the HVAC duct work, a wire bundle, or the dome light itself. I've traced the rattle in my '07 Tahoe Z-71 that I've had for a little over 4 weeks now to one (or all) of those being the cause. Haven't had it in for the fix yet, but I'm planning to do so soon. On cool mornings I can hear the rattle when I shut the door. After it sits all day in the sun and everything warms up making these materials softer and more pliable, the rattle virtually disappears, but the next morning... it's back!! I'm hoping that all they need to do is push some foam material up in there to put a little pressure between these materials and end this annoyance. we'll see.

2007 Tahoe vs. Yukon

When you get on the GM web site and compare a loaded but not-to-the-hilt Tahoe with a comparable Yukon you see interesting differences. With a Tahoe you get a 10 way adjustable seat. With Yukon it is only 6 way but you get the option of buying a transmission cooler (which I think is very important). The paint selection seems the same although Yukon seems to have a darker grey available.

The Autoride and load leveling feature seem to be tied together for the 07's. At any rate, the self-leveling part is the important part when it comes to towing or hauling, as it's what takes care of the sag. The system on the Av uses an air compressor and pneumatic shocks in the rear, which is probably the same as your 'burb has.
I agree with your wife about the seats in the new trucks and SUVs, and the center console taking up space. I miss the wider captain's chairs that were in my 04 Silverado too. Enough that I'd give up the extra humongous storage space in the center console (back to the narrower space in the 04) to get something like it back. That was one of my first comments when I test drove a Tahoe (while preparing to preorder the Av). I've adjusted pretty well now, but the truck did seem a bit roomier.

I noticed this when I was shopping for my truck. I was comparing Tahoe and Yukon and I for comparably equip trucks I could not see a reason to get the Yukon for so much more money. They have pretty much the same features, the same engine, pretty much the same colors. Just not sure what is so much better about the yukon. The lights are different...

Yukon seems to have a few more standard features, like the third row seat, locking rear diff. Things may be different now, but when we compared our 2005 Yukon XL to the Suburban, we went with GMC because Chevy packaged the options together including some things we didn't really want.
I guess GMC believes they have some prestige people will pay for as well. I didn't care one way or the other, but going with GMC, with our specific features, actually saved a couple hundred bucks over a similarly equipped Chevy.
I guess the moral of the story is make sure you are really comparing apples to apples. You'll find their trim levels and standard equipment and MSRPs overlap a few times. Also, note that when you go to "build your own", at least in my zip code, the MSRP listed for the GMC is less than on the "compare models" page. And there is a substantial rebate on the GMC that makes it even better.
And of course you have to find the invoice prices and go to a dealer who is willing to negotiate, etc., etc. All that after finding the exact vehicle you want without any extra stuff. I'm willing to bet that you'd get pretty much the same real world transaction price on identically-equipped Tahoes and Yukons, so just decide which face you like better, and take it from there.

I would've thought the same thing... But when I bought my Tahoe this summer, I built it online to the specs. I wanted. I then faxed it and emailed it to all of the local Chevy and GMC dealers to provide quotes. Turned out the invoice price was much cheaper from Chevy for the same specs. I'm prolly one of the few people to fully load an LT2 and not go to the LT3...

Has anyone had a problem removing the "Flex Fuel", "Tahoe" and "LTZ" tags from their 2007 Tahoe?
I like the vehicle, however am not a big fan of the markings.
Any experiences / advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

These are normally applied with 3M commercial grade double sided tape.. Take a hair dryer on high heat and hold it as close as possible and heat the entire emblem until very warm.. then take a plastic kitchen spatula or something that won't sratch the paint and gently pry it loose while still warm.. Clean up any residue with Goo Gone. You can even pour a little Goo Gone around the emblem if its really stubborn.. You might also want to hold a thin soft cloth over the edge of spatula for extra protection from scratching. The Goo Gone won't hurt the paint its just some type of oil. Good Luck !!

I did what seabyrd suggests using the hairdryer and goo gone. Instead of a spatula I used fishing line after heating the tape behind the emblem. Used it like dental floss and just moved it up and down as I slid it between the emblem and the truck. Once the emblems and letters were off used the goo gone to remove the rest of the stuff. Just keep at it, can take alot of patience to get the residue off. I have no emblems or letters at all and love the look
