    Crazycrew's new to the family ride/build thread

    If the language used in the contributors posts as in some previous remarks is allowable, this forum needs a laundry job, as it is offensive. Understandable in some brands and types of car ,truck forums, but when we spend the mega bucks we do, I expect some decorum.

    Somewhat Comical -- The Dealer Asked Me to Make an Offer -

    Nitrogen in aircraft tires is a safety thing. Compressed air usually has moisture in it accumulating from"topping"up. In use the moisture will freeze at altitude and severely off balance a tire. Also with the high pressure in Aircraft tires, a hard landing on a tire with air (oxigen) in it...

    Considering a 2014 or maybe a 2015 Tahoe

    Have a 14 Yukon now, very satisfied after the range addition, read too many hicups with the 15 and read extra glowing report on the 18. So if I want to replace I would not look at anything before 18.

    Does the gas return lines have to be replaced with steel?

    There is the copper nickel type of line. Used in most european car brake lines. Easy to work with takes standard fittings, is widely available and not expensive like it used to be. It can take brakeline pressure, so would be OK whatever pressure your fuel lines are using. Definitely does not...

    3rd row won't come out

    The rust is inside the bottom upholstery and not visible unless you take out some stitching. When they were new and the correct procedure was followed they were a cinch to get in and out, if heavy . The whole design is pathetic. I am on my second one first was Tahoe now Yukon several years...

    3rd row won't come out

    Had that problem. Seems the locking linkage inside the bottom of the seats rusts and will not allow it to do its thing. Hence the HARD yank, and then some linkage bends a bit. Once you do get them out, use penetrating oil liberally.
