I think the nicest ones out there are the Mag-Hytec covers. I used them all over on my Dodge Ram Turbodiesel. Beside being functional, they are nice to look at and beautifully made. They make a large assortment of pan and differential covers, and all use O-rings eliminating the need for RTV goop. Expensive...but you get what you pay for.

Brake Rotors Warping by steve666666

I have a 2007 Yukon. At about 20,000 miles the rotors were warped, noticed by pulsating when you come to a stop and actually shimming dangerously when brakes were applied at high speed, coming down and around a Interstate curve. Had 115,000 miles on my '01 Yukon and never a brake problem. Now at 44,000 miles the dealer says the rotors are warped again. Know it is not my driving habits, been driving too long. Has anyone had a problem. I'm getting ready to contact GM, this should not be a problem.

I have 28,0000 on my 2007 mine, and I'm getting the pulsing in the brakes too. I also think they are warped. I've seen on other Tahoe reflector where other are experiencing the same thing. I've had problems in the past with the rotors that GM uses. I had a 2000 Impala that was plagued with rotor warppage. This time I'm though, I'm trashing the entire front system, and going with better calipers, and slotted rotors. I did this to my Dodge Turbodiesel, and the difference was remarkable.

trailer wiring by nkuiper

would anyone know where to hook up the trailer power wire and the brake wire? In the manual it tells you to hook them up in the fuse panel but not to what fuses. I don't see any fuses marked trailer. Ours is an 07 Suburban LT2 4X4 with the trailer package.
Thanks, Nico

I have an '06 Suburban 4x4 with trailer package and my vehicle came with a wiring "pigtail" for the trailer power and brakes. It attaches at the rear near the hitch. No need to go the fuse panel....at least with the '06 models.

Although, mine is a 2007 Yukon, likewise with rockman59, also came with a towing package with wiring and connector available next to the factory installed hitch.
 
If your trailer wires must be connected to the fuse panel, you may want to refer to your 07 Owner Manual, Section titled "Instrument Panel Fuse Block"... For continous power, try the fuse slot marked [AUX PRW]; if you need the exact fuse for the Brake Lights only, there is a slot marked [STOP LAMPS]... For my 07 Yukon Denali, the information is shown on page #538 and #539...
 
Just my opinion, connecting these wires, say from the rear bumper to the fuse panel under the front dashboard will take quite some time and effort. Can you splice these wires to the rear 12V Power Outlet for continued power supply and the brake wire to the brake-light assembly in the rear as they are fuse protected... Hope I did not mis-understand what you are trying to do... Gook Luck!

After reading you message I decided to not use my read wiper on my 2007 tahoe. While I prefer using the wiper I had no problems seeing out of the window without using the wiper, and I was weather from very very light to not quite heavy rain. But I definately prefer having the rear wipers on.
 
The only other problem with visibility I've had has been with the windows fogging up, but just turning the defogger on takes care of the front and side windows.
 
As far as the dripping down. I noticed while washing my tahoe that there are channels in the door jam from the roof down to the base of the door that water flows through. That's probably where you're hearing the dripping from.

When you talk about power and brake, you are referring to a standalone 12V power, to drive accessories in the trailer, correct? If so, you should decide whether you want to hook that to the standard vehicle battery, or attach it to a separate (addn'l) 12v battery.
 
For brake wire, are you referring to an electrical trailer brake that is applied with a separate actuator, right?

I never did get a resolution. It has happened a few more times, but everything always comes back on after I turn the car off and wait a few minutes and turn it back on. I haven't taken it to the dealer because I don't think they'll be able to do anything about it unless it happens when it's there. It seems like too much of a hassle to try to explain it all and have them say there's nothing they can do. Sorry I can't help you more.

I have had the problem of the XM option disappearing from the Nav screen. After I turn off the car, it comes back. Weird. I haven't had any of the other problems. The clunking noise shouldn't be there. My sunroof rattles when open - an annoying problem. My Service 4 Wheel Drive notice comes on when it's in 4 wheel (when I really need it to be functioning) but I still seem to have all four wheels driving. Anyone had this? After I turn the vehicle off, the message goes away, only to say to service again after about 15 minutes in 4 wheel again. That stinks!!
