There are some cool videos on there. Fun to see a 2WD vehicle performing better than a 4x4. I didn't know anything about this stuff before, fortunately it came as standard equipment on my 2005 Yukon XL. It was an option on the Suburban that I probably wouldn't have been looking for.

Problems with the tire inflation monitor system by hardin_thicke
Sep 14, 2007 (8:40 am)

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.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery?

Wiper blades update by valvestud

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.

Don't know about the Denalis but my Tahoe rear A/C can be operated from the front by punching the Aux button. Not sure why it's not called rear A/C. The rear controls can also be operated by rear passengers.
 
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.

My Yukon XL is also a little off on the trip computer. Typically underestimates gallons used by about 1-2, and therefore fuel economy by about 1 mpg. Not dangerously inaccurate, just slightly annoying.

2007 LT1 dealer demo w/6K miles, good price? by zoesam
Sep 20, 2007 (6:01 pm)

It also has 6 cd changer, 4WD, rear park assist & adjustable pedals. MSRP 41,324, asking price on the window 34K. I believe this to be an "aged" vehicle, is there any way to know for sure? How do I know if the 34K window price includes the 2K current rebate & the 3K aged rebate?
  
This is a dealer demo, supposedly driven by a manager back & forth to work. It's never been titled. So if it's been in an accident, I'm guessing no one would have had to report that, right? Anyway to be sure it's not been in an accident?
  
And lastly, what do you think is a reasonable price for this? I don't know how to figure out the invoice price. If I ask the dealer, they'll probably just show me a fake invoice. I'm guessing they keep those on file for just that purpose. Plus there's holdbacks & incentives to consider for the dealer. I see this as essentially a used 1 year old vehicle w/6000m. I'm thinking $28-29K. Thoughts? It's only an LT1, so it doesn't have a ton of bells & whistles, but that's cool w/me.

The way I view these things, is what happens if I buy it and drive it off the lot, and on the way home it gets totalled. From an insurance perspective, its a used 2007 with 6K miles. Or if you bought it and then wanted to trade it in somewhere else....it's a used 2007 w/6K miles. From a warranty perspective, I believe your clock started a while ago (although you would need to get the dealer to prove to you that it didn't, if that was the case).
 
For a comparitive reference point, I just bought a new 2007 Suburban LTZ two weeks ago.
-> 49,390 MSRP
-> 45,202 Discounted vehicle to
-> -8,117 Tradein, which is "overallocated" by at least 2K. I had my trade valued independantly at CarMax and other dealers, and NADA. Carmax was at 3500, other dealers offered 4000 and 5000. This dealership had offered 6000 to do the deal, and then after negotiations raised it up to over 8K. No way my vehicle was worth 8K, so the overallocation of additional discount is at least 2-3K.
-> 37,084 Net Taxable
-> 1,112 Tax
-> 55 Tag
-> 248 Admin/Dealer Doc
-> 38,500 Total Due
-> -2,000 2007 vehicle rebate (to dealer)
-> -3,000 Mfg date prior 2/15/07 rebate (to dealer)
-> 33,500 Net Due at closing
 
So on a new 49,390 vehicle, they discounted it by 11-12K (4188 + 2000or3000 + 5000) = 22+% off
 
Your deal for a used vehicle with MSRP 41,324 is 34000 or 7324 off = 18%
 
I was at a different dealership which had offered 11K off of a 48K MSRP vehicle (no trade involved, but included the 5K rebates), but I didn't like the color/options of that vehicle.
 
I'm inclined to think you could do much better with a new 2007 vehicle. I'm assuming the 5K rebates are available on Tahoe's also. Since your trim level is simpler, the 5K rebate on a lesser MSRP vehicle is a larger %.

Thank you kiawah, excellent points to consider! Warranty was mfr "remaining" warranty, so I think ur right that the clock started already. I left quickly, I didn't want to seem too eager, but this particular option set is exactly what I want & it's been proving difficult to find. Still your experience makes it sound like I can do better & another dealer was asking 33K for an aged out, truly new Suburban a month ago. Unfortunately the Sub won't fit in my garage
 
The Tahoe is eligible for the std 2K rebate & for the aged 3K vehicle rebate, I'm just not sure how to tell for sure if this is aged or not?
 
Thanks Again!
