I don't think you're going to be able to fix that shift point. As far as I understand, that is the only shift point because the Hybrid runs a CVT... have you noticed that on a longer acceleration like getting on the highway, it does not shift once you are rolling?
I was told there is a CVT...
Its been a while, but I've been working on getting more information out of my Hy **.
I got a cheap bluetooth OBD-II adapter from Amazon and bought the Torque App for my android phone and started digging for Custom PIDs to pull data out of the truck about what the battery and electric motors...
In all fairness, it was about 10 minutes til 8pm close, I had just been stranded in an empty parking lot for 30 minutes and wasnt really feeling like dealing with getting a rental or sitting around a waiting room for another 2 hours. That and they've known me since I've had my first car (uncle...
I wish there was more documentation out there on self servicing Hybrid components. It seems very easy with all the OBD tools, etc...as long as you follow the "Dont touch anything orange" rule of thumb.
I have my scanner running all the time I'm in the car monitoring the electric, gas and pedal...
I've been watching a few live parameters with the OBD-II scanner (link...this is an awesome tool..turns my EVO 4G into a super dashboard...mmm...more data)
Mostly watching throttle controls and I haven't quite figured out what they all mean but its been running like a champ.
Good idea on...
Wondering if anybody else has had any kind of engine troubles with their Hybrid?
Mines got about 44,000 miles and yesterday I started it up at the gas station and the electric motors revved up to what sounded like full throttle, then the system threw error codes galore. (My bluetooth OBD-II...
I thought about doing this also after I bought my Hybrid and just looked through a parts catalog comparing liftgate parts between LTZ and Hybrid.
I assumed I would swap like parts like weatherstrip and wiper. But because of the different weights of the door, all the bracketry needs to be...
Does the Yukon Denali Hybrid have a power liftgate?? I thought they pulled that option from all the hybrids in the name of weight saving..maybe the Denali is different. I know that my '09 Tahoe doesnt have a power lift.
Anyway, sounds like a warranty issue to me. I'd just drop it off at the...
I remember reading about this a long time ago and now that I've got a Hybrid of my own..I can't help but want to try it!

The general idea is to plug the hybrid into your house, not to charge the...
Since this thread is lacking actual tips for being on page whatever....
I used to have a Hummer that I installed an on-board air system into. (When I was 22 years old..if that makes a difference. :)) While I didn't have a train horn, I installed a fire truck horn..a Grover 1510 stuttertone...
Nearly the entire rotor except for the direct contact points were flaking. It was very rusted along the outer rim but I also pulled a flake off the rear surface of the rotor. There also were rusted gouges along the contact area of the rotor and its driven daily.
I got a Certified Used 2009 Tahoe Hybrid back in April from a local dealer.
The longer I own it, the more suspicious I am becoming of this dealer.
1) They gave me 2 broken headsets for the rear DVD and kept the remote.
2) The tires were 100% bald and blistering.
3) The wiper motor had to...
It probably does help with traction but if its dry and clear, I usually leave it in 2wd. The front is heavy enough that it should maneuver pretty good on dry pavement.
That's what I though too but I got 19.8 on the highway also in auto. But for giggles I put it in 2wd and mpg bumped up to 21.5ish!
I think there is some parasitic loss in the transfer case during auto mode.
