Replying to: reggie6 (Sep 13, 2007 12:23 pm) Months ago, my mother was driving her '04 Suburban and said there was this new loud chirp/squeal sound intermittently. Then it went away. Then it came back, and baffled my mechanically inclined father too, who even went underneath, checked brakes, etc. and nothing. Then a few weeks ago, they were helping me move, and we went out to dinner and the whole way up the street around 35-40, there would be a loud chirp every 10-20 seconds from the one back corner (we had the air on, front and rear) AND there was a new odd whirring sound coming from the rear vents when I had the blower on back there. Then the whirring stopped, but the chirping continued. Never had heard anyone else mention this...but randomly pop on here, and WOW, other people have too! I'll have to keep checking in and keep that part in mind. |

Replying to: steve_ (Sep 12, 2007 7:23 pm) His third sentence says that "...current rear drum brakes..would provide better stopping performance then (sic) the front disc set ups of the '70's". Is he suggesting that if you put current rear drum brakes on the FRONT axle of a 70's car they would out-stop the front disc brakes then being used? This is an interesting notion, maybe something the guys at CarCraft could do, but without a shred of empirical evidence. Earlier he tells us that the current drum brakes have "vastly improved" over the last 20 years. He never amplifies this sweeping statement to specify where the improvements came from or how they show up. Materials? Stopping performance? Fade Resistance? Do the linings no longer get wet while going through puddles?

The rear controls can also be operated by rear passengers. "I find this system to be inaccurate except to see if something big is behind you." My shows almost straight down behind me. Can see the hitch ball. Makes hooking up a breeze. "have no idea how much gas you have left." Doesn't the Denali have the DIC? Mine tells me how many gallons I've used which subtracted from 26, tells me what's left. This assumes zeroing out when filling. I agree that the gauges are hard to read in the daytime, especially with sunglasses. Also don't care for the non-flat load floor but since I put a console between the second row seats, it's a moot point. And for blckislandguy, I routinely pull my jet ski up a very steep, algae covered ramp in 4WD on my 20s with no problem.

Family Car (that parking brake thing) You may want to take this to Stop here! Let's talk about brakes. You'll get more responses and we won't bore the Tahoe owners to tears.

I had the tires rotated this week so reviewed and followed the instructions verbatim on relearning the system with the new tire positions. It ended up with the display telling me that I need to Service the Tire Monitor System, and a bunch of -- where the tire pressures use to be. Has anyone else experienced problems when getting the system to relearn the the tire positions? No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the horn to beep for all 4 tires. Some attempts, I could get 1 or 2 tires acknowledged, but on most attempts, it would refuse to recognize 2 or even 1 tire.

Hello all, I had my first experience with the new blades disappearing off my Denali. Got in the car, went to wash the windshield and no left blade. As many of you know these are (were)a proprietary design and could only be purchased at a GM dealer. List price is $29.00 each! Trico now makes a replacement and it's their number 22-13 (Carquest 22-513), and the price is $16 each. It fits right in, but the snap retention is just as weak as the OEM unit. To fix, I drilled holes thru the metal arm from the underneath side, into the plastic blade unit, and fastened with a S.S. screw. Joe |

Replying to: 73shark (Sep 13, 2007 6:35 pm) The Aux button on my Tahoe will match the rear AC to the same settings as the driver's AC. I personally like my setting around 65 degrees and I like my kids to be set at about 71 to 72 degrees. The only way to have the temp different in the rear than the front is to access the rear control panel for the AC. Doesn't the Denali have the DIC? Mine tells me how many gallons I've used which subtracted from 26, tells me what's left. This assumes zeroing out when filling. I utilize the information in the DIC as well. However, I found that it can be up to 2 gallons off from what I've actually used. Meaning it says I've used 22 and I've actually used 24 gallons. It averages about 1 gallon off, so I it can be relied on as long as I get gas by the time it says I've used 23 gallons.
