    Anyone install a WOOD & leather steering wheel?

    This is true .... get one that has both wood and some leather. The wife's Lexus is a pain to drive because most of the steering wheel is wood. If I remember right, the Escalade wheel had leather on the "back" and wood facing you, worked very well.

    will factory dvd player play while driving?

    If it' OEM, it won't show the movie while you're driving unless you get an aftermarket kit to unlock that safety feature. If you get the rear DVD, it will show there while the vehicle is moving. Not sure how tough it is to install, my Escalade and Tahoe came with it. I'd assume all the...

    Rear cargo all weather mat

    I think Amazon was cheapest I could find on-line. Make sure you get the right model # when ordering.

    Anyone install a WOOD & leather steering wheel?

    Not sure what you mean by "high quality" but my Escalade had a pretty good looking mostly wood steering wheel. If you pick one of those up I'm almost positive it'll fit and it'll be OEM so the build should be solid. There was still some leather here and there on the wheel but it actually...

    Delta between Hybrid Tahoe and Yukon

    Not trying to start a debate here but gotta add my 2cents as a Hybrid owner. First off, any informed Hybrid owner should be smart enough to know that the added mpg won't pay for the difference in price of a Hybrid vs gas Tahoe/Yukon (anywhere between $5k-$8k depending on your negotiating...

    Rear cargo all weather mat

    I bought the weathertechs from 4Wheel Parts, about $120 if I remember right. Ed was good enough to take some pics of his when he put them in his Hybrid. Here's the link (you need to scroll about half way down the page) : http://www.greenhybrid.com/discuss/f69/husky-floor-liners-19951/ You...

    Over-the-license-plate chrome trim piece -- are they all the same??

    You can get them cheap on ebay. What I've found is the price difference is usually due to the material the frame is made of. I've seen stainless ones that are nice but real pricey. The cheapo $7 ones at your local auto parts place will probably be chrome plated plastic. I usually buy the...

    Ipod interface in 08 Denali?

    If he's talking about a true "interface" that would be something like what a bunch of 3rd party companies have been attempting to develop where you can do some ipod controls on the radio's touch screen (if you have it). I had been hunting for one when I had my Escalade but they all seemed to...

    Installed my Volant exhaust (Denali style tips) Pictures inside

    Looks real good. Is that a full CAT back or resonator delete tip? If it's the tip, did it cost more for the dual look?

    Pics of the Hybrid's rear spoiler/3rd brake light?

    My truck (1 month old Tahoe Hybrid) is in the garage now but I'll try to remember take a pic of it tomorrow. I've read that the spoiler is different (longer) but never really took the time to compare. Makes me curious.

    Full Sized GM / Chevy Rear Cargo Mat

    I ended up with a Weathertech for the cargo area since they can be cut out to accept the third row seats if you ever need to use them. The fit is okay, could have been a little longer though (front to back). They're a bit more than the Husky mats, I paid $130 at the local 4Wheel Parts store.

    Bang for the Buck CAI

    I'm on Oahu in Hawaii. Really looking to do both CAI and catback exhaust. I had a K&N kit on my old F-150, it had the metal tube and no airbox. Looked cool but didn't do anything as far as performance/gas mpg goes. Also added a little intake noise until I added a Borla catback system (then...

    Hybrid owners what are you getting for MPG?

    I'm still on my first tank and the DIC is showing 18+ mpg. I've done a good mix of city and highway driving the last 400 miles or so. Actually kinda disappointed so far with the mpg (at least as it's reported by the computer). I was hoping to get closer to 20-21 mpg since that's what most of...

    HVAC vent ?

    Thanks for the update Warren! Something for the rest of us to keep an eye on.

    Bang for the Buck CAI

    What changed in 09? I thought 07-09 were pretty much identical as far as engine/trans goes. I'm curious since I have an 09 Tahoe Hybrid and am interested in both CAI and CAT back from Volant. Gotta get rid of at least the resonator they put on the Hybrid. It's huge, heavy and cuts almost all...

    LTZ Wood Grain Center Console

    Gotta agree with MrB. Had the same center in my 07 Lade. Looks nice but scratches really easy. If it's the same piece, the top is an ashtray and the bottom is a two cup cupholder. Not real functional, especially if you're a non-smoker :) My new Tahoe has an open bin in the center, much more...

    Drl's

    If you check Amazon there are a bazillion different options ranging from $9 a pair on up. I'm kinda wary about just ordering a pair since I assume there are different wattages that are available. Any suggestions???

    Blown front strut at 30k?

    Not that it's directly related but I had a strut on the wife's Lexus blow at 8,000 miles. I found oil in a weird spot in the garage, made sure it wasn't brake fluid and took it in. Told the dealer I thought it was oil leaking from the front strut and he said I was right, luckily it was...

    bad onstar report..

    One more thing. Just because the Onstar report says "TAKE IT IN NOW!!!!!" doesn't guarantee there's something wrong with the truck. When I took my Hybrid in the dealer said that the hybrid module error Onstar was reporting was something that was actually an old error that was "stuck" in the...

    bad onstar report..

    I own a Hybrid and the email report actually tells less than what the Onstar rep on the phone told me when I had them run a test. Just get in the truck, press the Onstar button and ask for a full diagnostic to be done. It takes a couple of minutes.

    Delta between Hybrid Tahoe and Yukon

    This is a really good point. Maybe not making the whole vehicle out of aluminum, but all the hoods at least. ABS would also work, I think Ford still makes all the F-150 hoods and exterior bed panels out of ABS. They've been doing that since 2000 (maybe earlier). Hey, they're the only ones...

    Silverstar Headlights

    If they're $60 on Amazon (usually cheapest around) you're probably better off spending a little more and doing the HID convert. As for the other bulbs on the truck, may be worth it. I did the LED's for the license plate lights and they look super (lots of good comments from others too, that's...
