I dont know the brand but if u go to Ebay and type in 2007 Tahoe in the search, its the billet grille for $76. Its high quality Aluminum and it looks fantastic. I get a lot of compliments on it. I never recommend any product but this one is really nice. Its clean and not over whelming. Really dresses the front up but doeasnt over power.

There are definitely shortages. I placed my order for an Avalanche LTZ w/nav and rear camera early this month. I received a call on Friday asking if I'd like to delete the nav & cam, because that would increase the odds of it being built soon. I'm holding out, but they couldn't say exactly how long the wait might be. The salesman did say something about the "Denalis getting most of them right now" though.

I don't have the gap problem. I have noticed the air escaping on both rear doors and around the rear window during remote start and when I fan speed is set to max. Dealership had no idea if this was normal so they checked the other 20 tahoes on the lot and they did the same thing. Dealer told me it must be designed that way or it wouldn't happen on all of them. Wish I knew...

If you don't have the system set to recirculate, where does the air go? It has to leak out some where or blow-up like a balloon. Even on re-circulate I bet some fresh air is brought in.
I've always wondered where the air went out. guess I know now.

93 octane is a total waste of money, not just because it cost more, but because your tahoe wont run as well. The higher the octane the, the lower the energy the gas has. High octane gas us used to slow down the ignition in your cylinders. The slower the ignition the less power you have. The reason high end cars require high octane is because the run at a higher compression ratio and a quicker ignition will damage the pistons and rings. The higher octane is used to prevent detonation.

Does anybody have any experience with these, do they effect MPG? Prices seam to range from $180 - $300. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any experience with Cold Air Intakes but my understanding of them is that you can achieve improved mileage only if you do not use the enhanced horsepower they are supposed to provide.
Anyone know for sure?

If you believe "Truckin" magazine, they took a 2007 Tahoe, with the 5.3 engine, and achieved increased HP on the Dyno. Sorry, don't have the numbers with me, but it was double digits.
It's in this months issue, which includes the McGaughys 2007 Tahoe lowering kit install "how to".

Older GM cars had a vent on the lower rear door pillar that allowed the internal overpressure to equalize. Not sure where they currently vent at.

I'm curious about the AEM intake. Although my '07 is better than the '00 was power-wise, it still could stand a little more pep. Does anyone know of any custom ECM's or programmers available for the 2007 models yet?
