Replying to: csprick (Oct 19, 2007 7:45 am) You might want to search on the internet. They make replacement consoles and/or equipment holders. The Tahoe and Suburban can be used by fire, police, and emergency workers, and there are companies that make a number of options for either replacing the console or mounting radio gear.   I was looking a couple weeks ago for a platform to mount a laptop to, and got some good ideas. I don't have the time right now to give you some URL's, but they're pretty easy to find.

If you'd like to see pictures of my Yaesu FT-8900 quad band installation, go to www.k0bg.com, click on "Photo Gallery", then "Other Installs", and go to Page 7. I have 11 pictures posted of my installation including 2 antenna mounts in the roof. Unfortunately, I could not use the area under my seat because of the power option. You'll be able to see where I mounted mine.   Also, another good mounting location is on the passenger side of the console, as forward as far as the seat excursion. RTV the mount to the console, and you can easily remove it without leaving any holes.   If you don't have the Bose option, remove the cup holder, and pull up sharply on the tray insert. It will unsnap and there might be a pretty large cavity underneath it. I don't know for sure becaue I have the Bose option on mine and that's where the sub enclosure and amp is located. vy 7 3, K3GM

Replying to: csprick (Oct 19, 2007 7:45 am) Hi Chuck, I'm K2WE and have been a ham for 43 years. I have an Icom IC-208H installed in my '07 tahoe. The main radio is just sitting under the drivers seat. I have the remote head sitting in the console. When I wish to use it, I put 2 small velcro strips just under the center dash AC/heating vents. I just stick the head in place and it works fine. I have the remote speaker sitting in the console. As for an antenna, I have a dual band Larsen on glass antenna mounted on the rear drivers side window.. It works very well.. I was going to drill a hole in the roof for an NMO mount but never got the chance..Another friend, Rick N2YME has 2 mounts drilled in the roof of his '07 Suburban and he easily snaked the coax thru the roof to his radios.. By the way, I drew the 13.8 volts from the fuse block located in the interior side panel just under the dash. I snaked the cable under the carpet and nothing shows.. Hope this helps..   73 Steve at Saratoga Lake, NY

Replying to: tripwire (Oct 08, 2007 3:56 pm) My 2007 Tahoe has had several issues, all covered by the warranty and not many have been fully resolved. My car is in right now for whistling. I had hired a sound specialist who rode in my car and found that the sound comes from the rear drive train. The sound occurs when the car is not in gear and is coasting at speeds of 45mph or more. The dealer has found that it is something to do with the rear pinion (I am not quite sure of the exact wording), but I am hoping that the sound stops for I have had it since day one of owning the car. I too can realte as to how annoying it is. Replies to this message: obyone (Oct 19, 2007 7:32 pm) rockman59 (Oct 20, 2007 8:12 pm)

Replying to: jochamp (Oct 19, 2007 6:35 pm) Where does one go to find a "sound specialist"?   I know that GM has a "vibration specialist" that connects to the frame and can identify the location of vibrations.
#2799 of 3125 Service 4WD message by dmyer3 Oct 20, 2007 (3:19 pm)
Last month my message center had a "service 4wd" message. It has been to the dealer 3 times and still not fixed. They replaced a wheel speed sensor and did some work on the wiring without success. They called GM and they suggested replacing the transmission control module, but it's on backorder so am just waiting. Dealer has been working hard but it seems to be an elusive problem. Anybody else have this problem or have heard of it? Don Replies to this message: megoza (Oct 23, 2007 9:28 am)
#2800 of 3125 Re: Cricket and or whistling noise - front driver's side [ggreenil7] by kiawah Oct 20, 2007 (7:30 pm)
Replying to: ggreenil7 (Oct 15, 2007 9:48 am) Shawn, did you get your whistling situation resolved yet?   I just noticed tonight a static noise which sounds like it is coming thru the radio, while idling or running at low speed. Radio is off, a/c and blowers off.   Does anyone have a copy of the above Document ID 1974648? .... or has a definitive fix been issued? Replies to this message: tripwire (Oct 23, 2007 3:24 pm)

This is considered a dangerous practice. If the noise only occurs in this scenario then just keep the gear engaged.
#2803 of 3125 You should check the tire ratings to see if it by obyone Oct 21, 2007 (8:00 pm)
can handle the load of towing your 25' boat before doing anything else. There are quite a few drop kits available but it seems bags might suit you better since you will still be towing.
