| looks much better...Interior the same and Front end on the Tahoe even looks better...Not worth the extra money to spend on Denali in my opinion | |
This is not a major thing but I tend to watch how the bottom of the vehicle looks from behind. Today I was driving behind a 2007 Tahoe and I noticed that the rear suspension structure was showing several thin metal bars and I had a concern that they may corrode in several years. Am I worrying too much, or is it a legitimate concern?

Replying to: auto9999 (Apr 11, 2006 12:50 am) Not to worry ... My 2000 Tahoe that I recently traded for the '07' Tahoe had NO significant corrosion or rusting problems! ... That included some time spent in the Snow & Salt of upstate NY. |

About to take my 2007 Tahoe in for its first oil change (current mielage is 2877). Where should i go (dealer vs quick lube place)? Should i get an engine flush to remove all the stuff from the new engine? Synthetic oil? Any advice would be appreciated.

IF you're planning to keep it a very long time, 3k miles is a good conservative number for the first change. If the filter plugs with wear metals in that short of period, buy the extended warranty because oil changes are the least of your worries. |

I visited my dealer for replacement of the replacement seat heater button for the front passenger door as the original one had a burnt out light bulb at delivery and the replacement was scraped at the bottom, but they installed it anyhow. Unfortunately the second replacement was scraped too, so I asked dealer to order me yet another one. Apparently whoever is supplying these things isn't doing a very good job packing them (Lear? Delphi?). The front passenger door lock still does not work because the dealer had to pull the trim panel and it was replaced improperly when the button was replaced the first time. Over the weekend, I did not hear the clunking sound when starting in the morning so I am monitoring that. Still loving the Tahoe, though.

Over the years I have cut open & check the used filters .. from the FIRST oil change of many engines,..(GM,F,DCX,& foreign).. Everyone had excessive amounts of STUFF! .. IMHO.. Nothing good for long engine life & performance! |
