#2838 of 3125 Re: Windshield wiper driving me NUTS - HELP [sdoo25] by sportfish1 Dec 01, 2007 (6:03 pm)
Replying to: sdoo25 (Nov 29, 2007 2:48 pm) Hey Tom, Could you tell me what part of the country your in? I'm in the Minneapolis area and today we got our first taste of snow. I bought an 07 Tahoe LT in July and had been very happy with it until I drove today. The wiper blades on this thing SUCK to say the least. I went and called several places and got the same answer from all of them. They don't have a winter blade for this vehicle yet. How could GM drop the ball like this? I can't believe that they wouldn't be on top of this issue immediately. I agree with another member who posted a statement of something like GM could be setting them selves up for a huge lawsuit. You pay in the upper 40's Large for a truck that won't even remove snow. Anyway, I was just wondering if it would be worth my while to check an AutoZone here for some? Or is this just an isolated feat of luck on your part in that they just happened to have them in your area. Thanks for any feedback you or anyone else can give.   Mark Replies to this message: sdoo25 (Dec 01, 2007 7:01 pm) gfraigun (Dec 03, 2007 8:02 am) 73shark (Dec 03, 2007 11:35 am)

Replying to: sportfish1 (Dec 01, 2007 6:03 pm) Mark,   Unfortunately I'm in Florida so they don't stock winter blades at our auto parts stores. I just went into AutoZone, used their little computer in the wiper aisle and it told me which wipers would fit. There were 2 as I think I noted earlier. I used to live in Cleveland and rarely actually bought winter baldes for my cars. I agree they should be available, but if there isn't a market for them you can't force a manufacturer to produce them. I think the earlier lawsuit posts were when there weren't any aftermarket blades available, you had to purchase from the dealer for something like $20-$30 each. Good luck and I hope you find some suitable replacements.   Tom
#2840 of 3125 Switching to 4WD and 2WD by jjmjgnx Dec 03, 2007 (6:47 am)
Has anyone noticed that when they are stopped and the switch to 4WD, do any of you feel a slight bump when things are engaging? I had a new tranny put in and of course and thing I feel or hear I wonder about it. It's ever so slight when I switch to both 4WD and 2WD. I think it's normal and flet it before. Obvisiously, something has to engage and disengage when you make the switch, I just can't remember if it was noticable. Replies to this message: normy (Dec 03, 2007 12:44 pm)

Replying to: sportfish1 (Dec 01, 2007 6:03 pm) I can tell you with the 2007's being nearly 2 years on the road there is a lawsuit here in California for defects and other problems with the 2007's that haven't been fixed in the almost 2 years since they've been released. I'm sure people in other states will follow this path if the problems don't get fixed. GM is ignoring most of the problems with these tructs.... Here's the information page for this lawsuit..... http://www.wcclaw.com/CM/ClassActions/ChevyTruck.asp   You Message ... "Hey Tom, Could you tell me what part of the country your in?

Replying to: sportfish1 (Dec 01, 2007 6:03 pm) While I agree that the stock blades are almost useless in snow/ice, I found that they are very good in rain. Mine are 19 mo old (I did just replace the rear) and still going strong which is a record. I do clean them religiously each time I wash the truck tho. When I do replace them, I believe I can transfer the attachment to an Anco/Trico winterblade.

Replying to: jjmjgnx (Dec 03, 2007 6:47 am) This is normal. Funny, we had a storm this weekend and went into 4 wheel drive. When turning the knob from 2WD to 4WD, the thump you hear is the hubs locking place in the front wheels. Up into the early '80s, you had to get out of your car and turn the hubs by a turn switch. Today, turning the hubs are now electric.   NRC

Replying to: sdoo25 (Nov 29, 2007 2:48 pm) Greetings, I complained about the wipers when I took delivery of my '07 Tahoe in June 2006. I now have 45,000 miles on the car and they still SUCK...I managed to get the name of the sub-contractor who makes them for GM and complained.. I told them they must have not tested them in winter weather and I couldn't understand why they won't make a winter version.. They asked me which model Tahoe I had and said I should use the heated windshield washer option to clear the ice from the wipers!! What a BOZO... My other complaint is the lack of a working read window spoiler to keep the glass clean in snowy weather..We had our first snow of the season yesterday (4" of wet, frozen mess) and my rear window is so caked with road salt and sand, I can't see a thing.. Even after washing the rear and using the wiper.. In less than a minute, i's totally covered again..Looks like another interesing winter ahead.. I parked my other ride for the season.. a 2007 Porsche Targe 4.. Wish I lived in Florida...   Steve in Saratoga Lake, NY : Replies to this message: ahightower (Dec 06, 2007 9:16 am)
#2845 of 3125 2007 Suburban Headlights by speleonectes2 Dec 06, 2007 (4:54 am)
I bought some new headlight bulbs for my 07 Suburban and cannot get the headlight assembly out of the vehicle. The owners manual refers me to the dealer. Does anyone know how to change the bulbs?   Thanks in advance for your help. Replies to this message: kiawah (Dec 06, 2007 9:33 am) nedzel (Dec 06, 2007 9:50 am)

Replying to: saratogalake (Dec 03, 2007 4:54 pm) Put some snow tires on the Targa 4. All wheel drive, man, that's what I'd be driving!

Replying to: speleonectes2 (Dec 06, 2007 4:54 am) 1. Remove the 2 forward wheelhouse liner screws in order to access the hidden lower headlamp bolt. 2. Open the hood 3. Remove the upper fascia bolts 4. Remove the lower rear fascia bolt from the support bracket. 5. Loosen the 2 fascia to fender bolts from behind the wheelhouse liner. 6. Pull the outboard end of the front fascia straight outboard until it disengages from the fender attachment bracket. 7. Pull the fascia forward and downward to allow enough clearance to remove the headlamp assembly. 8. Remove the 2 upper headlamp bolts 9. Grasp the headlamp at the upper inboard and lower outboard side and pull the headlamp forward to disengage the locating pins from the fender panel. 10. Pull the outboard side of the headlamp forward until the locating pin is disengaged from the radiator support. 11. Disconnect the electrical harness connector.   (and you wondered why you couldn't figure it out!!!!)   Factory service manuals are worth their weight in gold, on stuff like this.
