Replying to: boxer916 (Apr 03, 2006 7:37 am) I have noticed that same whine in the early am but not all the time...I have had mine for about 1 mo with 3000 miles on it...I noticed the whine first thing last friday prior to going to work but did not hear over the weekend or this am...I did have an issue with mine not starting 2 weeks after and my neighbor did also on his 2007....Dealer towed both of ours and now fixed without issues but something to do with a wiring harness...If you hear what they are doing to fix the whine let me know incase I start hearing it again...Email is gmunfordcharter.net....As for the Honda interior being better??? Hmmm I havnt seen a honda interior I like yet but still think they are great cars...My friend summed it up best over the weekend saying that the new 07 is less Americanized on the inside as previous years!

Replying to: peedy (Apr 03, 2006 8:01 am) Oh yea the whine did not affect any part of the driving and like I said not there now??? With a new model year all this and more is to be expected. I assumed this when buying mine and makes it less easier to bear when something does come up. Anyone who buys first year model is the Lab Rat in training, but that is ok by me

Replying to: yukon7 (Mar 30, 2006 11:27 am) All,   You can get the rear facia cover a little cheaper from http://www.gmpartszone.com/MC-CCDI-EEH.aspx as opposed to your local GM parts dept. Just ordered one for $70.34 + tax. He went ahead and shipped it free for me. They also have the tubular oval design steps. Will wait on this.   http://www.gmpartszone.com/MC-CCDI-DGD.aspx Replies to this message: rockin_ltz (Apr 18, 2006 4:27 pm)

I agree about being the lab rats. good analogy. The whine is not always present but it does whine and its annoying if your not deaf...lol I as well assumed the rat title when i bought the truck and i dont regret it yet.. keeping my fingers crossed. why becuase it is a really cool suv. In my opinion better than toyota, ford, and everyone else.. i fogot to mention my wife told me that the other day she had some issues with the electrical, locking mech. information center display and some other things. She told me that she noticed it twice in one day but she's not to sure if its a problem or maybe she didnt know what she was doing.... i wasnt there so i cant say for sure either. If you had the electrical harnes replaced then im starting to think maybe theres a chance we might have the same faulty type of harness.. Ill wil go home today and check it out.. maybe it was a fluke thing..   Question.. what happens if they ( GM or dealer) can never get it right.. etc.. defect or other than what happens... ? The dealer told me that teh engineers told them to stop tinkering with the truck and waith for a team of engineers from gm to arrive here in california and take a look at the "whine" In the meanwhile we are enjoingly driving it around.. correction " my wife is" Replies to this message: peedy (Apr 03, 2006 10:24 am)

Replying to: boxer916 (Apr 03, 2006 8:54 am) Yeah they will figure it out sooner or later...If I hear it agian Im going to have someone press on the gas while I listen in the engine bay...I noticed the whine more when pressing on the gas and not just sitting in idel...Surly they can find it if thats the case but who knows?? Ask your wife if she has noticed a warning light that looks like an engine when she has that electrical thing happen....I had just driven mine went inside then went to leave agian and wouldnt turn over at all...everything else would work but would not turn over...The service tech said it looked like someone had tried to put aftermarket alarm in which was killing the engine as a defense from being stolen...I had nothing put on aftermarket so that wasnt the cause but after replacing that harness has been workig great...
#698 of 3125 Electrical by boxer916 Apr 03, 2006 (10:46 am)
Thanks.. for the info.   This site is great lots of info from real owners.. Thanks I will ask her about that engine light on....   By the way anybody else have problems with the cig. / accessories lighter caps.. Those thingas are really in need of redesign. The rep from GM agreed, they apparentley have been getting alot of complaints about that. They open up perpedicular to the face of the dash .. so if you just barely put any weght they will snapp off... Replies to this message: peedy (Apr 03, 2006 10:57 am)

Replying to: boxer916 (Apr 03, 2006 10:46 am) I dont really use mine that often so that has not been an issue...I do like the look of them but sounds like a design flaw...Someone will surley make an aftermarket cap for something like that
#700 of 3125 trans by dieselone Apr 03, 2006 (11:36 am)
Well, there is a whole topic on the Trailblazer forum regarding trans failures and it's the same 4l60e trans found in the Tahoe/Suburban. My '00 Suburban trans had to be rebuilt at 46k and I know 3 other people with late model Chevy 1/2 tons that had trans failures well under 100k miles.   Now, there have been updates on the 4l60e trans along the way, so hopefully the parts that were faulty (TCC, sun gear shell, etc) have been improved.

Replying to: dieselone (Apr 03, 2006 11:36 am) Huh. I did not know that.   I know I've not had a lick of trouble -- so far in my suburban 5.3. 64,000 miles and counting, with a lot of that in 4x4 auto mode. I did buy an extended warranty when I bought it, but I've been feeling like I wasted my money because I haven't had a single problem with this vehicle. Nothing. Haven't even aligned it, brakes still have plenty of life. Just fluids and new tires. I've been impressed.   I really like the look of the new tahoe, but I'm not planning on buying for a long time. My brother put on 240,000 on a mid 80s suburban and I'm aiming at that mileage.... Replies to this message: dieselone (Apr 03, 2006 6:24 pm) jerrywimer (Apr 04, 2006 11:28 am)
