    Need Tires For Stock Rims

    My '08 goes in next week for inspection and I'm worried they might fail it due to the tires getting a bit low on tread(50k miles). I want to be prepared if they do say I need them. I know a bunch of you have aftermarket rims but I guess this still may apply. Anyone have recommendations on...

    Starting Issue. What's your starting Oil Pressure?

    Well. I should have just paid the Stealership the $600 they said it would cost to replace as it was a huge pain to get out. Haven't even attempted to get it put back in yet. Have to hope the hydraulic store can put new fittings on it meaning i'll need to carry it on my motorcycle Monday...

    Starting Issue. What's your starting Oil Pressure?

    Well. The Stealership did exactly what I knew they would yet I went anyway so I guess it's my fault. They charged me $150 to tell me their computer found no starting issues over the past few weeks and said the leak was in the trans cooling line and that isn't covered under powertrain...

    Starting Issue. What's your starting Oil Pressure?

    Well the weird starting issue seemed to stop when either a new tank of gas was put in or it got a bit warmer. BUT Noticed I'm now leaking something out of the front. Looks slightly red so either trans or power steering. HyHoe goes into the Stealership next Tuesday. What a POS...

    Starting Issue. What's your starting Oil Pressure?

    My '08 hyhoe is the suck. Starting to get tired of how unreliable it's been for such a new vehicle. 4x4 front diff had water in it when I bought the vehicle with 33k driver side mirror no longer folds in 2 door lock failures cracked dash pad AND I had a lifter failure a few months back that...

    Adding Subs to my '08 HyHoe.

    Just seeing if there are a few good audio guys out there that can point me in the right direction to get started. I have an '08 HyHoe. I have 2x 8" Polk MM's and amp that I bought for my corvette that have been sitting in my basement for over a year now while I work on other stuff on the...

    Leaking Out of Front Differential

    I noticed a small drop or two leaking from my '08 Hybrid 4x4 w/ 40k miles. Since not many browse the hybrid section and I doubt it's hybrid unique I was hoping to get some help here. I changed my oil the other day and while I was under there tried to spot the leak. Only place that looked...

    For those considering de-badging their Hybrid

    Maybe they can all be midgets? That would save a few pounds and a little more space then if they were normal safety people.

    For those considering de-badging their Hybrid

    It's not like these Hybrids instantly turn to death traps if you touch them when involved in an accident. And at what point will enough be enough? What if someone dies even with the hybrid stickers on the car? Will all hybrid vehicles be painted safety orange? Then if someone still dies...

    For those considering de-badging their Hybrid

    It's their job and/or responsibility to do what they need to do in a safe and efficient manor. If they ignore all the training they've had over the years and instantly jump to cutting into the battery then I don't think a tiny green H on the pillar in a wrecked vehicle at an accident scene...

    For those considering de-badging their Hybrid

    No. There are plenty of other places throughout the vehicle they can gain the fact that it's a hybrid.(VIN, dash, engine, seat area/battery...) Badges stay off on mine.

    "Check your vehicle's charging system"

    Just went out after it having charged for 30min or so and it fired right up. I'm not out of the woods yet as the check engine light is still on.... So maybe something is still wrong. Is there a way I can check what code it's throwing or will Autozone check it for me? I took it for a short...

    "Check your vehicle's charging system"

    I sat my car outside today so I could wax it(not wash as it was clean). Had the stereo running most of the time until it shut off on its own. Didn't think much of it at the time, figured it was just a safety or timer issue. It was only on for less than an hour. Went to go start the car...

    Tinted Hybrid Tail Lights

    They look nicely done. Not too dark but just enough. I had my old corvette blacked out and out of the 8 or 9 times I got pulled over not once did they ever mention the tinted windows or lights. Although they were probably focus more on the other stupid things I was doing that caused...

    First snow/sleet experience

    I don't own this car anymore BUT I can tell you my HyHoe would have done better getting up my parents driveway the other year instead of my vette with its summer slicks on. Took me about 30min to get up even after I tried to shovel it some.

    First snow/sleet experience

    For the most part anyone who knows how to drive shouldn't need 4x4 on a paved surface. snow or no snow. Unless it's super high and fresh you might not fair well with RWD. I find 4x4 needed more for offroad. That doesn't mean you're climbing a mountain or anything that intense. But...

    First snow/sleet experience

    there's a large round knob to the left of the steering wheel. It'll have the 2wheel, auto, 4high, 4 low option. ONLY if your car came equipped with the 4x4 option as it was an option. I wasn't going to rule all 2 wheel drive ones out of my search when I was looking but I'm glad the one I...

    First snow/sleet experience

    Yeah. I really did think it was going to be terrible. It's just so big/heavy and more of a luxury vehicle where they do a good job keeping the engine/road noise and vibrations isolated. So you don't have much "feel" for what's going on but more hopes that the car is doing it's own thing...

    What kind of hitch are you using? How much rise?

    Just measured mine. Looks like 21 3/4" to the bottom of the square opening. Any one else care to measure yours and compare? I wonder what normal trailers normally like to be at height wise?

    What kind of hitch are you using? How much rise?

    I need to buy a hitch assembly/ball pretty soon to trailer my sisters car back to IL. I ask because i used to have an 05 yukon and my dad had an '10 tahoe. We had to swap hitches when moving my stuff/car out to PA. The newer tahoe had a much taller mount and needed more drop than the 2"...

    First snow/sleet experience

    I have to say. I took Sneezy out with low-mild expectations of it being good in snow. Thinking it was going to be too heavy and bla bla bla.... Holy crap was I wrong. slapped it in 4x4 and it didn't lose a step. takes off like a rocket, even in a hard turn in the parking lot I couldn't...
