Congrats! I wish they would make a Tahoe SS, i like the SSS but a pickup just doesnt make alot of sence for me. :confused:

 

The current truck doesn't look so bad to me....

 

Eager to see pics of the new truck though... I pick up my NBS w/ 6.0 Saturday. Should have ordered SLT instead of SLE. ugh. oh well, 30 months is a short lease.

Why would you trade in a nearly new truck??? That is like GIVING the dealer $$$$$ as a present!!!! You should have sold it yourself!!!

No, i waited for the 2500 Duramax and when it came in i drove it. I was impressed with the power only but not the ride . I ve had a 6.0 with 4;10 and a custom tune and it was pleanty of power for me. So I got the v max.Plus the extra cost of the 2500, I m not knocking the truck but it wasn t for me. The duramax is now sitting on the lot for sale.

You wont regret it, I just got my VMax, LTZ, it is one sweeeet truck. That VMax purrs nicely. I went w/ the 3.73 so it wont be just like yours, but close... I averaged 18mpg on the way home from work tonight too!

Ed, do you have a pcm tune yet? It made a big difference on my SS.

got my 07 tuned and it pulls alot harder now, also helped with mpg. I to had an SS silvy, and the power is very similar on the two vehicles, the ss seemed to launch alittle harder before the tune, but the nbs has more midrange power. 3,000-rev limiter pulls very hard. You definitely won't regret the swap.

Did you go with the max towing package then? Yeah imo 2500s and up are great for what they are made for hauling and pulling. But if that isn't your main purpose and its going to be your daily ride half tons will ride a lot nicer and get a little better on gas to boot. Although i guess the new 2500s have the 6 speed so that should help a bit. And if its just your couple sleds your pulling around the 1500 will have no problem with it at all. Too bad you just didnt go for it in the first place though hey. Go with another white crew? Anyone got a box cover on there 07s yet? Enjoy the ride.

yes, has the max tow package, 10,500 rating i believe, got another white, should look identical. Also tow a boat aprox 5-6000 lbs. I have a gm tonneau cover that I took off one to put on the other. Supposed to see tonight and take it tommorrow.

Yup thats the towing numbers wouldn't recomend 10,000 with a half ton haha but i'm sure it will pull your boat fine. Your payload will increase a bit as well gvw goes up to 7,200. How do you like your cats. Me and my dad got an m7 and m8 ride up in the mountains. There fun sleds realy like how they handle in the powder. Looks like the new rev is going to be the one to beat for sure though. But i never did like the old style rev didnt like the way they handled so maybe these aren't any better. Plus the doo 800s were breaking down a lot from what i heard. Only wierd thing is the last two trips of the year my m7 was out climbing his m8 and hes the better rider. Thought something might be wrong but talked a to a few people and they said that was pretty common actually.

I havnt gotten mine tuned yet, gonna wait a few months, get an oil change or two in her then do it. I'll probably go w. a Nelson PCM. For now im just bout to order a billet grille and floor mats. Prbably get a spray on in a week or two.

the Cats are good. f6 does 100 mph, and the Sabercat is a 500 so it s a little slower (but it s my wifes). The Revs are great over the bumps, you don t feel a thing while the cats you are always standing on the rough trails.

Called again today for the pcm tune and the guy will be coming up to north jersey in a week or two if anyone local is interested.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
