Aloha to you all! It's cold up here in Oregon today. I just now signed in as a new member to this forum.
A little about me if that is OK in this forum: I'm pushin 50- ow, you have no idea how much that hurt... its the first time I ever said it. So today I have owned this used GMC 1500 Suburban for days. It is a 98. I bought it on auto row on Friday. It is in great shape... so far. I paid 5600.
The dealer only gave me one key- thye book says this is the standard and that it unlocks everything- it seems to. I noted a paragraph in the Manual about Keyless Entry. I was wondering how I can tell if mine is so equipped? I would have expected a fob from the dealer along with the key; but I have since discovered that I also need a wheel cover wrench and a key for the spline locking lug nuts on the wheels. Which brings me to another question: My Suburban has these 20 inch Milanni chrome wheels all around. To me they seem to make the ride feel a little tippy. Is this me or is 20 on the high side? I don't mind riding high-I guess that mean more ground clearance?; but after I figure out how to get the wheels delugged (unlocked), I'd like to put some new tires on. Should I consider loksing the 20" Milannis and going smaller- better tire selection? What size do you guys/dolls like?
All answers appreciated,
Ed
