    Throttle Body Cleaning @ 24k Miles???

    I did my 2017 at about 80k. It cost me about 1/4 can of carb cleaner, 1 old tooth brush, 3 rags, and 15 minutes of time......oh and 1 beer just because. Do it yourself and save the $$

    Maybe not all 6.2's have the bad lifter bore/ bearing wear issues

    There are ways to think: 1. OMG!!!!! It had a major warranty repair. Engine....EEK!. Cue the run away 2. Person who knows something about vehicles. Wow! A new engine that fixed issues?! Score! It'll last longer. Total win!

    While I didn't like your first post because I am an ex 'mouth breathing moron," I do understand what you are saying. I am a lucky guy to have had excellent mentors over my learning years and consider myself above average when it comes to mechanical/electrical understanding and comprehension...

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    I like that the radio has the factory look. Keep us posted. I've been thinking about the same idea.

    MVI3 from HP TUNERS site. You will probably need 2 credits. Cost to your door will be about $500. Download MVI Suite from their site free to your computer. One arrived, plug in MVI3 to computer after downloading and installing software. Go to the help menu and do a resync device (don't have...

    Official oem/replica wheel thread

    Did you end up pulling the trigger on these? I'm thinking of getting the same ones to go from 22 to 20 on my wife's 2017. I just can't stand the ride quality of the 22 inch ones, but really like the look of the wheel.

    Water stuck in door panel? 2014 Tahoe

    Water naturally gets in past the window seal. It's not 100 tight, so there are drain holes in the doors. I've had the same issue in the past on my 2003, 2008, and 2017. Some were self inflicted by rust proofing goo that migrated down in hot weather and created a tub stopper.....just poke around...

    If you didnt have a Yukon/Suburban/Escalade, what would be your next choice?

    2015 - 2019 GMC or Chevy 2500hd. Reg cab long box, ext cab long/short, or ccsb. Would be the 6.0L 4wd.

    AFM Disable Options

    Ummmm....... keep it in 3rd gear? But in all seriousness, I'd look on FB marketplace or similar for someone with HP tuners that can just toggle the AFM switch OFF for you. It's 2 credits $(100), plus whatever for their time and you are back in business. I just got HP TUNERS for my 2008 and...

    New 2024 Yukon - long term rust prevention and rubber conditioning

    Makes sense in my book. Slightly tacky is a good sign for longevity without cracking, etc

    New 2024 Yukon - long term rust prevention and rubber conditioning

    I'd be curuis what they use. Maybe it's similar to the old zeebart formula that sticks around forever and never really dries out.

    Mystery Noise

    One more thing to add. Be sure to clean the piston and caliper pad face to remove any corrosion with a smooth file - want it uniform. Wipe clean. Then apply a thin layer of high temp silicone to the pad shims when reinstalling. Based on what has been shared, I think with some new rotors and...

    Mystery Noise

    I'd check wheel bearings to make sure they don't have play djarnis causing the rotor to move and drag on the pads when moving. Does it go away with light pressure or heavy brake pressure? Front or rear? Can you pinpoint it near a building or cement wall?
