    Low oil pressure?

    Had the oil changed yesterday and they made no mention of it as an issue. I've found that it'll start cold at 35-40, then operate warm at around 30-35, and at full stops on longer trip (>30 mins) it dips to 20. Kicks right back up upon acceleration though.

    Low oil pressure?

    Now why is that? Wouldn't pressure increase as temperature increased? 5w30 every time, always full synthetic, usually Mobil1.

    Low oil pressure?

    Hello! Still lurking around here from time to time. I've had my 2010 Tahoe for around 9 months now and am happy, but one thing that is concerning me is the oil pressure. In my '03 I was used to pressure being high-er, towards 60, as the norm. However in the 2010 It is almost never above 40...

    Brake Fluid change interval?

    Probably going to go at this tomorrow or Tuesday, but am getting cold feet with replacing flushes with a turkey baster job. Anyone else able to give their experience with just suctioning it out and skipping the flush? The point of this switch is to save money and avoid potentially unnecessary...

    Brake Fluid change interval?

    I appreciate the input guys. Regarding copper strip testing and electronic moisture testing, do y'all think these are worth it if you keep to a regular schedule (2-3 years, 24-36k) for brake fluid? At this point I'm thinking of just keeping an eye on the fluid, maybe refilling just the...

    Brake Fluid change interval?

    Do you do the PS every oil change too, or just when it is looking like it needs it? Is moisture buildup also the concern for PS fluid?

    Brake Fluid change interval?

    You don't bother bleeding brakes or anything like that? I'm hearing more and more about simply using a turkey baster for most fluid changes, and doing it frequently enough makes a true flush unnecessary. Anyone else suggest this?

    Brake Fluid change interval?

    I'm trying to setup a little self-guide of intervals for fluids just as another deciding factor for deciding on whether a change is warranted or not, and am stuck on brake fluid. I know it is good to check its color and level and moisture % if possible, but is there a general guideline for...

    NNBS windows & rain

    So I've had my 2010 for a few months now and am absolutely loving it. I thought I'd be looking back for a while, but I am so over my old truck. Anyway, one thing I have noticed is that the windows really can't be open in the rain. In my NBS, I guess the window itself was very vertical so that...

    Accommodations for CCM 2.5/1

    Think I measured 31.5 once, hope to get 32-33 once these wear. I'll go look at the code later. They are just some random bridgestone A/T tires not of my choosing nor preference. Edit: 255/70R18

    Accommodations for CCM 2.5/1

    Before: After: I'm very happy about the look. Was $360 to install, but, oh well. Said he'd give it a look and retorque at no cost after a few hundred miles. But again, I'm very happy with the look.

    Body damage question

    The estimates were simply for a ball park. If it were plenty cheap, then I'd get it done fully. But yeah, I'm totally happy with a tiny little knick, as long as it doesn't rust. That's all. Right now the plan is to do some rust converter just in case, prime, then paint. The primer is black, so I...

    Accommodations for CCM 2.5/1

    Guess I should've changed my signature sooner rather than later.

    "Lifetime Alignment" - Worth it?

    Got a 2010 Tahoe, just haven't changed my signature yet! As I said, I plan on leveling next week and will need an alignment, then from there will just align as normal (don't plan on lifting further other than maybe bilsteins in the distant future).

    Texas!

    I see y'all were in Houston a few months ago, but any chance in rounding up another Texas meet? Preferably Austin then San Antonio, but Houston isn't a completely terrible option... I have a 2010 Tahoe that will probably just have a CAI and is begging for a tune. Thanks!
