How about a $75 peanut butter and jelly sandwich at Ray's Tavern in Green River? (Trust me, it's on the menu)
Are the General tires on recall?

Oby - Expy vs Denali - I explained this a few months ago, but the bottom line is that I wouldn't give in to GM's lack of pricing incentives to buy the damn thing. I got the Expy for a lot less cash per month, and its only a 2 year lease (give time for GM to get their programs right), and also the fact that its my wife's main vehicle anyway.
My bigger decision comes next year when my Z71 goes back. What to get - Avalanche, C3, 2500 Crew ... Decisions, Decisions.
Come to think about it, I do remember about the Expedition...at least it wasn't an explorer...
C3 looks inviting....but the price tag...don't know about that one...

They had 2500 HD on the lot, in LS trim, X-Cab, 4x4, 6.0L, 4 spd auto. Stickered at $32,478.
I don't see what the fuss is about. Truck looks exactly the same, inside and out, except for revised hood and grill. Purely cosmetic, purely sheet metal. Allison 5 spd auto adds 2300, and duramax adds 4300. Salesman says it's sooo quiet, exactly what I predicted after noting how quiet those medium duty Izusu trucks are. Problem is, some owners want that loud clatter so the world knows they paid extra for it.

P.S. - What brand of paper towels do ya recommend?

Recirc on low setting directed at your feet is the best you can get for minimum air flow.

My 99 has 24,000 on it. I don't think its worth it for me, since it goes back off lease next year anyway.

Usually happens in the cool morning. The day before I had AC -Max Cooling (Re-circ). In the morning, I start up, turn off the AC and drive away. A couple of miles later I'm getting cold and I have the heat turned up 1/2 way. Then I check the Recirc, select outside air and the AC turns off.
I called Chevy Cust Support, but they were no help. They couldn't even tell me if it was supposed to be that way, or if it was a problem.
'Go see your dealer'. Dealer says they all do that.
Suprise, suprise.

i was telling ryan last night...local cooper/goodyear guy has been selling various makes of tire for 19 years now. i asked him what kind of tires he drives. he prefers bridgestones and firestones. said bridgestone is prob'ly second only to michelin in the tire industry. he also said the reason he prefers bridgestone is because their quality is exceptionally close to michelin, only at a much better price. i believe the way he put it was, "if you can afford michelins, get 'em. your next best tire available is bridgestone."

I just called thje local FS dealer and asked if what I had read about them inspecting and replacing the tires if I am not happy with them was true. He said, No they will inspect them and replace them under warrany ONLY if there is a problem with the tires. Is this what happened with you guys?
If I stand on the bumper and rock the truck side to side I can duplicate it. It does not seem to squeak in the up/down motion, just side to side. Is this normal?
2000 GMC Z71
Thanks,

and click "print". then show the dealer the nice little line that says:
"We will inspect each customer’s tires for damage or excessive wear and ensure that the tires are wearing properly and inflated to the level specified by the vehicle's manufacturer. As part of our long-standing customer satisfaction program, customers who would like to exchange their tires will be given a credit toward new tires, based on the remaining life of the tires. In fact, any issues or concerns following the inspection will be remedied to each customer’s satisfaction."
and ask him what part of "any" he does not understand. that's what i did. matter of fact, when inspecting my tires they DID find two problems. one, they said "firestone" on them. two, they said "wilderness" on them. that's defective enough for me...

Also has availability of Duramax as Sept and 6 spd as November.

Meanwhile, too stoopid to buy a map, you sit in perfect Climate Controlled Comfort, fat, dumb & happy like a Lincoln owner, complaining that your truck makes a squeak when you floor it to make it through another reddish-yellow light while swerving to miss the too-damned-slow school bus, and that's why you wanted 250-hp anyway.
Yeah, it's a rant about what trucks have become; just sissyfied, p-whipped SUVs for guys that don't want to be mistaken for someone who watches Oprah. It's too bad someone can't make a pure truck anymore, just a big V-8 or diesel, enough hauling capacity to tow a small house, and tough enough to make it up a muddy hill or through the trees, clearcoat be damned. Yeah, it rides rough, and it squeaks and it burps, but damn, it's a truck. Sometimes I think we're just a bunch a citified nancy-boys. OnStar my [non-permissible content removed].
Come and get me, meredith, but i'm talking the truth.
Interestingly, I haven't noticed air coming in when the system is off, either, even though I know it is supposed to. You'd think I'd notice, since I get hot easily and I often drive barefoot.
Mine is a '99
