    Interesting Suburban

    I find it interesting that GM didn't include the 7 gauge cluster on this vehicle.

    Interesting Suburban

    I asked the same question and no one else has spoken up yet. I did a little search on kbb.com and there was no listing option for a 2006 Tahoe LTZ. There was only an option for 2006 Suburban LTZ, so it might be a 1 model rare bird option.

    Interesting Suburban

    Interesting find there. Was there a Tahoe LTZ made in the same year, or only Sub?

    2004 Tahoe Z71 killing batteries

    Group 78 batteries are sealed batteries, so no way to check the acid/water/fluid level.

    2004 Tahoe Z71 killing batteries

    Interesting there is now two of us, wonder how many more there are? Yeah, I thought I was the crazy one or wondering if something I did or didn't do was the root cause of early battery death. Hope this thread finds the answer to this issue.

    2004 Tahoe Z71 killing batteries

    I'll follow GM's lead, if the Tahoe required it, they would have spec'd AGM battery. This is the only vehicle I've owned that chewed thru a battery in 2 years. It's also the only vehicle I have ever had an AAA battery in. It could be either option causing the early death.

    Losing fresh oil faster than old oil

    I think it could be doing both eating and leaking....as we all do ;) I just know after paying closer attention to it, I have to add more early on vs. later on, in the oil change % cycle. Thanks for the info about viscosity.

    Losing fresh oil faster than old oil

    That's exactly what I was wondering.....if fresh oil has a smaller molecule that will slip past leaky seals and gaskets easier than dirty oil. To swerve this thread....where are the most common leak points on a 5.3? I would like to seal this back up, and I seem to remember hearing there are...

    2004 Tahoe Z71 killing batteries

    Interesting post....I have read about the 03-06's sometimes having electrical gremlins that cause strange symptoms. Not sure if that is what is killing my batteries every 2 years.

    2004 Tahoe Z71 killing batteries

    For the Tahoe I use std wet batteries. I don't spend the money on AGM for Tahoe. I've never had a wet battery only last 2 years. More typical life has been 4 years or more. Still thinking there is a underlying problem.

    Losing fresh oil faster than old oil

    04 Tahoe with 250k on the engine. I have the 5.3 Z"flex fuel" engine. It has the typical oil leaks that most all 5.3's have. I have noticed, right after an oil change that my oil level drops quicker than once the oil is a bit older. To explain better....in the first 3000 miles of oil usage...

    2004 Tahoe Z71 killing batteries

    I've owned my Tahoe for a little over 3 years now. Bought it with 144k, just rolled 250k. Overall it's been good to me but as of this week, I'm wondering if there is something at work with the electrical system of this Tahoe. Out of the blue this week, my battery died, like barely start the...

    All good points that I can agree with you on. To each their own. Enjoy the ride! ;)

    Best Cheap/Free Mods?

    To each their own. No problem with what you choose to listen to, but I'll say this as perhaps a little older and wiser....... when the defecation hits the oscillation, radio will be what you want to be in the know, and all the force fed, censored 'net based poo will be non existent. You may...

    Best Cheap/Free Mods?

    Is that how the factory did it, laying down the antenna? I don't see how you'd have good radio reception with that???? I guess the antenna being there, and deleting it seems like tilting at windmills to a guy like me.....much ado about nothing.

    Factory Bose 6 disc in-dash changer, CD function died, '04 Z71

    Thanks for posting the pic. It looks different than mine and I don't want to mess with converting from one style to another. Thanks for the offer. Hope you and "malmed" can work out a deal. Yours might be good for parts to someone else looking to fix theirs. I am doing the same from one...

    Factory Bose 6 disc in-dash changer, CD function died, '04 Z71

    I forgot the Denali has a different stereo system. On mine, the 6 disc is in the head unit. Do you have a picture of the head unit too? Wondering if I could make that system work in place of my factory Bose system with 6 disc head unit. Thanks again.

    Factory Bose 6 disc in-dash changer, CD function died, '04 Z71

    Jason, thank you for the generous offer. I will take you up on that offer, but will have to pay shipping since I'm in CA. Please let me know when it is available. Thank you.

    Factory Bose 6 disc in-dash changer, CD function died, '04 Z71

    I'm guessing, without looking it up, that the gears for inside the head unit are not GM part numbered, as they only sell complete head units. Thanks.

    Factory Bose 6 disc in-dash changer, CD function died, '04 Z71

    So my situation has changed a bit since the first post. I was able to get the CD operational again, but my 6 CD's are in jail and will not come out. They will play, in that I can listen and switch amongst the 6 discs to listen to them, but they will not eject. Right when this problem started...

    GMT 800 Towing Package?

    8 lug = 3/4T 6 lug = 1/2T I think all the quadrasteer trucks were 8 lug because the rear axle was semi-floating/floater type axle.

    GMT 800 Towing Package?

    How many lugs was your 06, 6 lug or 8 lug?

    GMT 800 Towing Package?

    Unfortunately not correct. The tow package did not add a trans temp gauge. The only vehicles that had trans temp are Escalade, Denali, SS, 2500 Sub/Yuk and HD version trucks. Yes the sensor is there, but simply adding a tow package in the build did not add a dash mounted trans temp gauge...
