Thanks for all your help. I was driving home today in the rain, wondering how GM could have possibly put such a poor system on an otherwise great vehicle. I have an appt. for Weds and will give them the bulletin # you provided. I will let you know how things go. Thanks again. Paul

Basically, we got Nav but didn't get the rear entertainment package as we didn't have any kids. Also, this truck was specifically purchased to help us move from Atlanta - Midland - Dallas - Midland all in about 2 yrs. Now that we're situated in Midland, we don't really need the big SUV to help move nice stuff (paintings, valuables, etc). It has 12K miles which I would say is 80% freeway driving from the aforementioned journeys along with some 4-5 hr road trips to visit the family. Lastly, we specifically did not order a 3rd row seat as we preferred the neatness of having a large cargo bay for reasons described above. And I do not believe it is possible to retrofit a 3rd row seat because there are not any attachment points for the seat. And oh yeah, we 86'd the sunroof as the last thing we need in the Texas heat is another avenue to increase cabin temperature.
Because of our unique desires, this vehicle could only be ordered as an LT but we had the dealer go back and add all the LTZ accessories such as chrome grill, chrome side mirrors, chrome door handles and the 20 polished wheels that are blemish free. I also ordered the GMlockpick where you can watch DVDs in the front screen and enter directions without the car needing to be at a full stop.
The car is white without a blemishes and tan leather throughout and only used 91 octane chevron fuel (even though I know there is no "real" advantage - except that I installed a chip for better performance(to counteract all the EPA restrictions placed on cars - has no probs with smog or inspections). It is also 4wd although that has been only used a couple of times with snowy conditions in Atlanta/Dallas. Absolutely no offroading.
Anyway, sorry for the long description but just trying to make and informed decision on what I should do. The MB dealer offered 28500 on first go around and we haven't attempted to negotiate more yet as we were first wanting to decide on exactly which car we wanted from MB.
If you can suggest a fair price to sell it privately for a fair deal to both parties or better yet a fair trade in price, I would be greatly appreciated. The car has been trouble free but the only reason of getting rid of it as we don't need to haul big stuff anymore (thank GOD!)
TIA
We also use it for long trips, kids laying down across the 2nd (bench) and 3rd seats.
I have seen it used without the third seat for construction purposes with storage in the back, but those are usually LS models without the investment in all the chrome and wheels.
I think a little bit of an oddball set of features for the majority ot those in the market for a large SUV.
I guess someone looking for a nice riding tow vehicle would be a target customer.

I think you can install a 3rd row seat. As I recall GM made all the vehicles, at least prior to '07, 3rd seat capable. Perhaps the anchor slots are under the carpeting where you can't see them. You can buy 3rd seats online....Ebay has plenty of them for around $500. If you order the seat new from GM you are looking at around $2K. If no 3rd seat is going to be a problem in selling....just tell prospective buyers they can find the seats online or buy one yourself and drop it in.
All my best

Take the Tahoe to an Auto Zone store, buy the blade, and they will change it for you.
Soooooo true.
Oh well, learn something new everyday... :shades:
Perhaps Mr Shiftright could hold online classes on basic maintenance and repair. :P
By the time I moved the strong light over to the kitchen table and found my reading glasses, 10 minutes of my life was gone, just in reassembling it before I even got around to sliding it on the wiper. I actually thought about writing a CarSpace Guide about the process, but after that mess, I gave up the idea.
One thing good about writing that guide would be that we could as users of Edmund's direct inquiries such as the original post to that guide cause we all know that typing an explanation for installation of wipers everytime there's an inquiry will never happen. Though I really like the idea of the parts store doing it, I'd be ashamed to ask for help with a wiper and would take it home and struggle with it first. It's a male ego thing I guess for me anyway.
The problem with changing blades on Tahoes is you need a step ladder to crawl up there and reach them.

I have a 2007 Sub, and not aware of a problem with my blades...but would want to be on the lookout.

However, I wouldn't assume the problem is with the Mics. Maybe there is a short in your connection of the audio hook up or something wrong with the device.
Might be a bad ground connection somewhere or loose connection.
The drivers side mirror has plastic trim all the way around the glass - its about 1/4 of an inch thick -
The passenger side does not have this piece of trim.
Did GM just forget to put the trim on my passenger side mirror - or was it designed this way?
