What is the GMT900 patform?
What's better about it?
I can find all kinds of discussions about it being incorporated into the h2 eventually, but what is it?

The new tahoe is on gmt 900 and ....The front torsion bars have been ditched in favor of suppler coil springs, recirculating ball steering gives way to a more precise (if no more communicative) rack and pinion system, and the ABS-controlled four-wheel disc brakes are upsized.
Also I think it has a wider track and 5 link rear solid axle.
Maybe the new H2 will be coil sprung up front?? I Dont know if that will improve off road or not. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>It's also a fully boxed frame, new electronics, new engines and transmissions that get much better fuel economy, electric fan engine cooling, remote start, power liftgate, stabilitrak, side and head air bags, optional nav with rearview camera, etc.
Also, with the rack and pinion it will possibly help eliminate much of our steering problems
