Mark,
 
I am in Guilderland, and have purchased my last 3 Tahoes from Hand Motors in Manchester VT, give Chris a call, he will bend over backwards for your out of town business. I also purchased a set of factory 17 inch wheels and sensors last year that I did not use, as the 20's are working fine for my needs. If you are going to purchase smaller wheels, maybe we can work a deal. 19 MPG sounds good, what gears are you running 3:73's or 4:10's ? George

___________________________________________________________
Those big tires on big wheels do not work well in four wheel drive situations such as sand, mud, or snow. They are so wide that they just push too much of the muck and don't plow thru like a narrower tire/wheel combination would. The wide set-up also reduces gas mileage somewhat and can be noisier at freeway speeds. Narrower combinations don't look as good but they do work better under real driving and 4WD conditions.

Thanks for the ideas about the headliner rattle and tires.
 
It is tempting to try to remove the dome light and stuff some padding in there, but I don't see an obvious way to pop the thing off.
 
As for the wheels, it looks like I'll have to stay off the beach...
 
I'm in NYC/eastern LI and have yet to see any E85 in the wild.

Silverstar HID look bulbs by ukon07
Jun 08, 2007 (5:30 am)

Help me out...Does anyone know if the bulb # is the H11 or H13 for the low beam? Here is what I recieved from Sylvania...
 
You will first want to confirm that your vehicle does in fact use part
number H13 in its headlight application. The last time we spoke you
stated that the dealership told you that part number 9005XS was the high
beam and H11 was the low beam so it's possible that the information in
our lamp replacement guide is inaccurate.
 
If your vehicle does in fact use part H13 in its headlight application,
part H13ST would be the correct part number to upgrade to SilverStar.
This part is being sold by the following retailers:
 
Advance Auto Parts
AutoZone
GI Joe's
O'Reilly Auto Parts

Rockman,
 
I believe it is in the owners manual, but it might have been from my dealer or from the brosures.. But apparently you shouldn't go off road at all with 20 inch wheels.... Becausethe actual rubber is shallow you lose a lot of the shock absorbing that 17inch wheels have...

Attn: gfraigun....Rockman here....I was replying to the message left by gregeas about his 20" wheels. Perhaps he will see your note about the owner's manual. 20" wheel and tire combinations are certainly not made for off roading.

Need some suggestions by stoli2

Do any of you think a black suburban with 20 inch wheels would be inappropriate to use for a funeral home. Any wheel suggestions that would be a bit more subtle would help
Thanks
