How hard is it to...
For your 2007, it's actually even easier. If you buy the GM kit, it includes everything, including a harness which plugs in under your dash to power the kits. Basically, it entails: 1.) Remove old headrests...an icepick in the small hole on the inside of the post mount and they pop right...- Parthery

How hard is it to...
It involves some cutting. Personally, I'd recommend the headrest monitors. They are all over eBay and you can get brand new GM ones for around $750 or so. Installation is easy...it took me about 90 minutes start to finish....- Parthery

Flex Fuel
30% less fuel economy. Therefore, the price should be 30 percent less, as well. Based on that logic, (and I paid $3.39/gallon for unleaded yesterday), the E85 should be around $2.37/gallon. The local E-85 station here is getting $3.10/gallon for it. No thanks.- Parthery

I'm more intrigued by the wagon in the garage...80-82...either a Century, Cutlass or Malibu....probably with the 3.8 V6. I learned to drive in an 81 Century Estate with the fake woodgrain on the side....- Parthery

Headlight replacement
I did one myself last week on the 2008....it's a pain...but not awful. Unless of course you added a second battery. Here are the steps: 1.) Remove the second battery tray. (8 bolts if I recall.) 2.) Remove the top bolt holding the washer fluid reservoir in place. With the top bolt out... -
2012 AWD Denali Xl questions?
My 2010 with 51K has fluttered since day one.....I've had the throttle body cleaned as that was supposed to fix it, but it hasn't helped. I've been running premium fuel the last couple of tanks to see if there is any improvement but I haven't seen any so I will likely switch back to 87.- Parthery

Denali cupholder to SLT cupholder (center console)
I purchased a set from someone here on the Forum with the intent of swapping out my Denali setup to the LT setup. I too, prefer the open tray to the flip up compartments. It's still in the box and I've put the project on hold, so if you are interested, PM me. -

iPod and Bluetooth Integration for 2008 Tahoe w/Nav
The 2012 and newer units are hard disk enabled....for that reason they use a different module. I'm using the iSimple 571 in my 2008 Tahoe. I removed the iSimple cable and use a regular cigarette adapter wired into a hidden female cig plug. The unit streams music via A2DP...caller ID on the...- Parthery

Motor Oil brands
I ran Mobil 1 in my '06 for 158K miles and it never burned a drop. Changed it every 6K or so. As soon as my free oil changes with GM run out, I'll be switching the new Denali to Mobil1, as well.- Parthery

Added USB & Bluetooth to '08 LT
If the sound quality is lousy, you may need to turn down the volume. Our issue is with an iPhone 4S. I just upgraded to 6.1....need to see if it's any better.- Parthery

Recs for better MPG pulling trailer?
You are pushing a lot of drag that creates wind resistance. I regularly pull a 6000+ lb 22' boat with both my '08 / 5.3 2wd and the '10/6.2/AWD. The best way to get better mileage is to slow down. If I pull the trailers at 60-65 on the interstate I can get close to 10. When I get up to 70...- Parthery

Windshield wipers suck at higher speeds....
No telling...I was traveling and stopped at a dealer...he quoted me about $150 or so. When I got back, I went to my regular dealer who I have a relationship with....they ordered the arms....got them in the next day...and called me when they arrived. Start to finish, including a wash, took... -
Windshield wipers suck at higher speeds....
The frameless ones tend to help. If your truck is an '07 or early build '08, you may have the old style wiper arms. They were notorious for streaking. GM has a bulletin with a fix to replace them. The fix is to use a new style arm - which in turn has the hook instead of the clip where the... -
Navigation on the go
You can program locations that you visit regularly (like your home) on the speed buttons....they work at any speed. Beyond that, you need either a Coastal Tech Lockpick or PAC NU-GM29 to make it work. Lockpick has some issues, apparently. Still waiting to hear some feedback on the NU-GM29...- Parthery

Cool radar detector mod
The invisicord is an easy way to do it....it will plug right into the back of the mirror. I have an older V1 that is hardwired using their flat cord. Run the cable along the headliner to the passenger side. If you remove the grab handle on the a-pillar, you can work the trim far enough...- Parthery

1 Key Fob - 2 vehicles
Easiest way to do it is to take the 2011 remotes and program them into the 2007, since the 2007 can be programmed through the DIC. I've thought about doing the same thing so I can get one remote off my keychain....the only downside is both cars will lock and unlock when they are in the...- Parthery

If you are doing it...do it before the end of the month... As I'm sure you heard, after March 2nd, used car transactions between individuals will be taxed. And the tax rate will be 6.5% of the ad valorem value (from the state tables - NOT what the transaction price is.) Good luck.....- Parthery
