Not sure.... May be driving to Illinois this weekend to pick up our daughter and our 2 grandbabies. Sounds like a great time.

I decided to go darker on my windows. I had the 18% removed and went with 5% Limo. It's not as dark as I thought it'd be. Have been getting a lot of compliments at my wifes work when I go pick her up.

We lived in Illinois before moving to Florida 5 years ago. Back then they didn't tolerate any tint unless it was factory or the driver had a form from a doctor. I used to see cars pulled over all the time and the people taking a razor blade to the windows. I guess they changed the tint law in...

OMG! That's what my wife said after her first ride in the truck. LOL She said it was like sitting in an easy chair. Super comfortable.

Thanks all. Took it on the highway for the first time to pick up the wife at Tampa International. For being a 4 wheel drive it rides so smooth. Last 4x4 pickup I rode in we felt every dip and crack in the road. LOL.

Loaded up and ready to roll. There is an inaugural bike show & swap meet at Biff Burger on 49th Street North in St. Petersburg today from 12 to 4. It's being hosted by New Belgium Brewing Company. If it's a success they will do this more often. Friends from northern Florida and the east...

150023 miles on my 05 Trailblazer EXT LT

It's still on here http://gmtnation.com/forums/topic/12989-cold-start-up-noise/

I posted that I have a similar problem but not as noisy and my fan doesn't wobble, and after the engine warms up the noise disappears. Once the truck is at operating temperature you can barely hear it running. The only give away is the slight exhaust rattle in the back.

I was just wondering if its normal for the fan to make an awful rattling noise when started cold, reminds me of failed bearings. With the engine idling It has a slow pulse you can barely hear over the rattle but its there. If I stop the fan the pulse stops but still rattles. I checked the...
