Well, not really sure. On Jan 21st, I opened my mail and I received a full size brochure with a $1500 off coupon in the mail that said private sale or some such thing. Guess GM marketing knew me better than I knew myself. I was happy with my 2005 Avalanche 1500 LT 4x4 and a 2005 Crown Vic LX. Normally wife and I have 1 car & 1 truck, seems to work well for us. So,I saw the ad and threw it in the trash can. My wife saw the ad in the trash can and said let's go look at one. Next thing, I know...4 days later....2007 Tahoe and no Avalanche. Only thing I can guess is that we purchased a new vehicle each year for the last 5 or 6 years. Whoever is doing GM marketing saw this and assumed I would be open to another new truck. Who knows....

Here is a trick .... I also have been using magnets for decades ... BUT .. Keep in mind .. It only picks up ferrous metals .. NO dirt & crud, non-ferous metals and harmful combustion by-products! ... Another way to look at oil changes is that you are doing an engine flush .. getting rid of ALL the contaminants the magnets & filters can't pickup & hold.

Are these MPG numbers actual calculated values or DIC readings?

I was holding off waxing as I always understood that paint had to cure for about 6 months. Has this changed?

I run regular in my LT-3 with 3500 miles. It is getting average 16.9 in mixed driving but on a 200 mile highway trip I did indeed hit 21.8!! Very light right foot and lots of V4 action.

I reset my DIC each fuel fill up, then average them based on driving conditions during that round of driving, either mixed, highway or city. Highway reading was taken during a recent trip which was based off of my DIC reading both there and back. Reset at the beginning and end of trip. Most accurate reading is the mixed because that is based on weekly commute then averaged. Both city and mixed include some amount of idle time. City driving is based on one week total while off on vacation never got on a highway that week. Hope that helps.

I saw this recommended somewhere very recently. I asked my dealer about it and he agreed it was probably a good idea, especially if you are going to use an orbital buffer.

Howdy. For those of you who have ordered your Yukon/Tahoe/Suburban: What was the time between placing your order and delivery? Has anybody ordered one of these trucks with the nav radio and taken delivery yet? Does anybody have any complaints about their nav system? Thanks.
