AFM/DFM and Lifter Question - Moving from 07 Denali to Newer
Ive had the later and the earlier 6.2, the extra hp on the LT is noticeable for sure. AFM failures are not a matter of if and more of a matter of when. If you get one, just try to aim for the 17 to 20 area if possible. Funny fact I think there are more lifter failures in the 21 and up than...- Bigkevschopshop

New ride
Yeah, the early ones had the crest in the grille, and the later went to the updated badging. Just do the cooler bypass reprogram by Superior that will keep the trans cooler and help keep it going longer for sure!- Bigkevschopshop

Oil Leak - 2015 GMC Yukon
If ya pull the intake, take a rag and run it right where the valley pan meets the block and if it comes up wet, then you found it.- Bigkevschopshop

New ride
Welcome to the club. The 8 speed is great once you get the fluid flushed and changed to the updated type. When you get that done get a fast relearn done and it fixes alot of the concerns with the 8 speed. Tons better than the 6 speed for longevity and the 6.2 is a huge step up. I agree...- Bigkevschopshop

Oil Leak - 2015 GMC Yukon
Well, you may try to look and see if you have any residue on top of the trans bell housing. That will help determine the leak area. From what you are saying, I wonder if the oil pressure sensor is going bad, I remember the old ones were right behind the intake on the block. Maybe worth...- Bigkevschopshop

2017 Escalade versus 2016 Tahoe for Towing
Well, now that I have towed with both vehicles you mentioned and outfitted the same way. I can comment I think with some real world feeling. The acceleration difference between the two is only noticeable in the hills, flat land its minute till higher RPM functions. MPG I haul cars on a flat...- Bigkevschopshop

From A NNBS to a NBS to a K2 comparison in driving and quirks
Well, to re visit this, I broke my rule and bought a 8 speed. Yeah it has a hunt for shifts every once in a while under very light throttle for 1-2 shift, but if you commit and give it a 1500 rpm shift or better, its like butter and happy. It really shines under 1/2 or WOT applications, I like...- Bigkevschopshop

Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?
I wrote a review on what I have noticed. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/from-a-nnbs-to-a-nbs-to-a-k2-comparison-in-driving-and-quirks.129349/ The driving experience of the K2 is what has me hooked right now, the seats grab you better, the chassis hits the corners better. MRC is...- Bigkevschopshop

2025 Yukon refresh
After seeing the dash, looks like they took a pot, mixed up the Ford and Jeep dashes, baked it for an hour and this is what you get... I was hoping for better but looks like the winner now is the Tahoe-Suburban lineup.- Bigkevschopshop

Rear axle cross compatibility.
Finding the 3.73 gears will narrow you down on the years, I think only the z71 of the 00-06 had 3.73 gears. The 3.42 and 3.08 rule the roost from I think 08 and up. The only exception was the suburban 2500 but its not compatible. The main reason for the 3.42 and 3.08 option was the 6l80e...- Bigkevschopshop

Operating Temperature - Transmission
It takes mine in Houston weather about 30 minutes in traffic to reach my normal operating temp. I have the superior reprogram on the thermostat, Summer 140-150 degrees highway cruise temp, Winter 125 to 130 degrees highway cruise. The warmup time in winter on straight freeway driving is a bit...- Bigkevschopshop

Hard Trany shifts. Q’s for the pros
Great advice, and a new filter with the updated fluid will probably help out alot also. Dont forget to do the Superior cooler bypass while you are down there. Personally find a good reputable builder if that doesn't fix it. But there are alot of threads on the internet of the harness and VB...- Bigkevschopshop
