Replying to: gpierce2 (Aug 16, 2008 6:57 pm) So, short story long, it seems to me that a dead/jumped battery can be recharged and behave well for a while and then start to stutter again after a while. If you have the original battery still, I'd go ahead and get a new one. Someone smarter than me can recommend a good brand, I ended up with whatever they happen to have at NTB because I wasn't in a position to go bargain shopping with a trailer attached and three kids in the car and a road trip set to begin the next morning.

Anybody know what color the transfer case fluid is? I have a lot of greenish fluid all over the bottom of my Tahoe.

Normal seriously depends on your driving style. My first summer, I averaged, 13MPG and now, 2 summers later, I'm at about 15MPG. A majority of street driving. My advice, use cruise control as much as possible. When approaching lights, let the momentum of the truck carry you as far as possible. Start up, nice and easy. Finally, cut 5mph off of your average speed. I have a lot of up and down driving where I am at, but if I am on the highway using cruise control I can get around 19 to 20mpg. But since my daily commute is heavy street driving I usually don't get that. Also, look up Hypermiling. Practice the safe techniques of hypermiling and you will see a big difference. |

Replying to: bill2007yukon (Aug 14, 2008 10:02 am) Has anyone hd any experience in getting the ECU reprogrammed so as to make the engine stay in V-4 mode more often? With our 2007 Yukon, we NEVER get on it and pretty much just baby it around town so as to get better gas mileage so I think this rig could stay in V-4 pretty much all day. So what is the logic that the ECU uses that tells the engine to go from V4 to V8 and back? I am working with Jason Gadberry at Blackbear Performance and he is really sharp...and he thinks he can crack the code. So has anyone actually got this done to their truck? What kind fuel mileage of performance did you get? Any pit falls of things to avoid? **End Quote** I would suggest using cruise control as much as possible. I notice on my Tahoe, if I'm just driving I will rarely see V4, but with cruise control I'm in V4 a lot more.
