Very nice pic.. 
love the new GM full size SUVs. My only gripe with the Z71 Tahoe is why not give AT tires as an upgrade option as well.

I completely agree! We had a 17’ Z71 that came with the Duratracs at least. My wife’s first reaction was that she wanted KO2’s ASAP. LOL

Suburban or Tahoe? We just picked up a black suburban z71 for the wife. White is my favorite color on the z71 Tahoe/suburban. The best looking SUV on the road in my opinion (besides the Escalade). I don’t have a picture of ours together but I will.

Very nice! Her’s is a Tahoe. Such a smooth ride. Looking forward to a road trip soon.

Not a better look than the white Tahoe. I am definitely enjoying it and look forward to road trips in it. That’s the main reason we got it. Do you have the air ride?

We do. Air ride and magnetic ride control. Drives like a caddy.

Nice.

My wife has an 18 Traverse High Country that see loves. I like my new diesel High Country.

My wife has a 17 Traverse. I have a 20 Trail Boss. Both are dark blue. We don't plan on getting cars in the same color. It just happens, like when we unintentional wear the same color shirts and pants/shorts. She more partial to dark red, but didn't like it on the 17 Traverse. I prefer dark grey, but GM's greys weren't dark enough on the trucks for me to get. That's how we both ended up with blue.

Nice rides, both of them.

I am seeing the new SUV's EVERYWHERE on the road now.  I bet the dealers cannot keep them on the lots and the salespeople are loving it.

I wanted to get my wife one...she currently drives a Buick Enclave Avenir...no dice.

Although she likes driving my truck, go figure.

After today, I think I'll replace my wife's Traverse with a Spark, and my truck with a diesel Suburban. I love my truck, and she loves her SUV, but she doesn't travel well when she has to drive. If I do all the driving it's a different story.

 

I'm not completely serious. Just a bit frustrated with her.

    • Looks like it's riveted to me. What is wrong with that 1? Welcome to the Forum!
    • Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

    • Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
