    Questions with DDM HIDs

    Although the headlights look identical they are different with the non-HID using a 9006 halogen bulb in a reflector designed for that bulb. They later went with a D1-R HID bulb in an identical housing but the reflector it sits in was designed with optics for that particular bulb......put simply...

    Is this a common problem or am I lucky??

    once the clear coat oxidizes you can sand and buff and they will look almost new, but it will not last long and need to be performed regularly or it will cloud again. headlight restoring kits are the same deal. A application of clear coat after sand/buff will keep them looking good,Rattle can...

    winter rims

    thanks for the welcome. I recently moved further from skiing/snow boarding for work, i wouldn't mind being 1.5 hrs away from winter park. I would hold onto the OEMs if i were you. winters out there can be rough, and a few seasons of winter abuse can be hard on a chrome rim. I will probably end...

    Navigation question

    thanks, i felt like it was an unusually long time. it will need a visit to the dealer. I had a kenwood/garmin headunit in my last truck and that was very fast. I am overall unimpressed w/ the OEM nav unit in this truck, may end up replacing it sooner or later w/ an aftermarket.

    Navigation question

    Recently picked up a new 2011 Tahoe LTZ, w/ all bells + all whistles, I love this truck. But I have noticed my navigation is a bit slow, usually takes about 15 seconds to switch from map to destination input, sometimes more, like a minute or so. Is the navigation this slow on all trucks or...
