    Front Dash Crack

    I noticed the crack near the airbag cover on the passenger side the other day. Stopped by the dealer who took one look and said "no problem-GM will do it for the $100 deductible." Truck is a 2010 with 132K miles. Interestingly, the wife's 08 Tahoe hasn't cracked (yet). It's going in...

    Best place to buy gmpp?

    Depends where you live. Some states - most notably Florida - consider these to be insurance policies which have to be sold by licensed insurance agents within the state and must be sold at MSRP and cannot be discounted. That said - if you aren't in a "restricted" state, I've used gmoutlet.com...

    Michelin or Bridgestone tires ?

    I got 50K+ out of the first two sets of Bridgestone Alenzas....then went to Michelin LTX MS2s....and I'm not thrilled. They've got about 20K on them now and are still at 10/32 (good)....however I also have a vibration that balances out and comes right back 1000 miles later. Working with...

    Does a out of state temp fee and doc fee of $375.66 seem excessive???

    The "we must charge it as it's the law" is actually somewhat true.... Many states have a cap on the fees...and many states have a requirement that either it's charged on EVERY deal and permanently printed on the buyers order or it's not charged at all. That's to keep the fee from becoming...

    Radar Detector Install- Dash question

    I have mine mounted up high - next to the rearview mirror...its out of site...not sure I would want mine mounted low where it's visible from outside the car. Mine picks up Laser just fine (it's a V1.) Have you checked out a Blend Mount and/or a Mirrortap? Gets the power from behind the...

    The transponder keys on 2007-2014s can be programmed in the parking lots. Post 2011 remotes have to be programmed through Tech 2.

    GM Repurchased 2nd 2015 Denali--Be Cautious of 2015s

    I've followed this issue with great interest as we have been debating trading the '08 Tahoe for a 2015/2015i Last week we had the (mis) fortune of driving a 2015i Tahoe from Enterprise....as soon as I drove it off their lot and got up to 40 mph my ears popped...and popped again. The Admiral...

    Anyone with a Surpass & Tinted front windshield?

    SunPass will work fine as long as no metal in the tint. As long as your tag number is current with SunPass, it's not a big deal. They will manually post the toll if your transponder doesn't read. BTW - SunPass, Peach Pass and NC QuickPass are now interoperable....all 3 work on roads in FL, GA...

    Battery cable replacement

    I had to replace the negative terminal on the '08 Tahoe. It developed a short...kept acting like a dead battery until I opened the hood and jiggled the cable. $165 installed. Took 90 minutes....the end that bolts to the frame behind the front clip is a pain to get to.

    Does GMC give loaners on service?

    Was your "free oil change" program part of GM's 2 years of maintenance included plan or a dealer freebie? If it's GM's plan any dealer can do it....it's attached to your VIN when they pull it up. If it's a dealer freebie then yes - you probably have to go back to the selling dealer.

    Seriously? I have to drop the right side exhaust manifold to change tranny oil?

    My shop charges $179 and that includes unbolting the exhaust manifold and replacing the gasket when they bolt it back (in addition to the transmission filter and gasket). Just had it done...I can feel the difference and the transmission seems to be running cooler.

    mirror glass replacement and options?

    Just did this repair on the '08. The glass assembly alone (with auto-dim, heat, memory and turn signal) is close to $400. In an effort to not break it as I removed and installed it, I paid the dealer to do it.

    Gotta Love Discount Tire

    I've had good luck with them. They broke a stud on my boat trailer tire...had to send me up the street to get it replaced...brought them the receipt and they reimbursed me on the spot. Also had to have a nail removed on a Sunday and brought them the receipt for the flat repair. They paid for...

    Regular vs Premium gas for the 6.2 L

    My 6.2 (2010) has a noticeable performance difference between 87 and 93...it just doesn't have as much pulling power. It's a $.30/gal difference here so about $6 a fill up or about $30-$35/mo. I don't even think about it anymore....

    Experience doing a trade at Laura

    Any GM dealer can service the vehicle. GM Warranty pays the same whether you bought it there or not. They may not give you the same level of "priority" as they would one of their own customers (loaner car, free oil change, etc...) but they can certainly perform the service.

    Can you bring a gmc to a Chevy dealer for warranty service?

    Absolutely. My Denali goes to the Cadillac dealer. They honor the coupons that the GMC dealer sends me, offer a loaner, and the vehicle gets washed and vacuumed after every service.

    WTB: NNBS Driver's Side Taillight

    FWIW, I replaced one that got cracked with an Amazon version....$63 to my door and it had the factory harness. Took me longer to get my tools out and find something to put down on the driveway to lay on top of then it did to actually install it.

    07-08 Windshield wipers, what were they thinking

    There was a campaign on the 07's and early 08's...my dealer replaced the wiper arms with the newer J-hook style at no charge to me. Seems the old style didn't tension against the glass properly which caused the blades to skip across the glass, no matter what speed the vehicle was going.

    Bridgestone Duelers are on sale right now...have a rebate...and in my experience have given decent (60k+)mileage. Just rotate every 6-7K miles.

    The most difficult part of the job is removing the plastic covers on the seat backs. Lift up and pop them out. Do not take a screwdriver around the outside or you will break the plastic clips. The panels are over $100 to replace if you break them. Once the panels are off, it's in easy job...

    Dealer in Central Mass or Central florida

    If you are in Winter Garden, head over to Orange Buick/GMC...straight up SR 50 from you. Ask for Tom Prioleau in sales. Great guy...he's been there over 20 years. We've bought many many vehicles from them over the years.

    Wiper blade not touching windshield -Help-

    There was a campaign for 07-08 NNBS trucks that replaced the wiper arm with the new (old) style. I had the chattering issue on my 08 Tahoe and had to go back and forth with the dealer, but they ultimately completed the campaign under warranty. Made a huge difference....
