2106 vs 2017 Tahoe

[jimim]

I had the same issue that you describe in the center console. I found some silicone spray 'safe for plastic use', and sprayed it under the trim area that the noise seemed to originate from. That totally cured it - been a year and still no squeaks or creaks from the console. If you try it, make sure you use a silicone spray that is safe for plastics.

That's very good to know if I don't get rid of the truck. I think having all this plastic on plastic is just a bad idea.

Thanks a lot!

Did u spray the clips only or the whole thing?

I sprayed up under the fake wood trim where it meets the vinyl on the sides of the console.

Check for vibration issues...Once you buy it you own it and GM will say its normal...

Started way After I had it. It's been in like 7 or 8 times now.
I think we r dumping it anyway. Waiting for them to find a 17 I want.

are you still running oem tires? If so, I can almost guarantee you it's the problem.

I've got a 15 Tahoe also with only 17k miles. I like new technologies in my vehicles. I would consider a new 17.

mine is coming from the plastic around the heat vents that flank the touch screen. it's all that build up of silver on black trim to give it a look. i just think it's a really bad design. i keep telling them when i push on the plastic it goes away. they won't listen. i even showed them when we drove it. i said take it off and i'll drive without it on for a few days and we can see. i got silence. maybe they like having my truck there. lol

i have 2 sets of OEM tires. does it with both sets. i have tires for my 20's in the winter and 22's in the summer.

Have you had them both road forced? And if so, did you happen to know find out what numbers they rolled?

I haven't. What is that?

I have also been toying with upgrading from our 15 Yukon to a 17 Yukon. I don't like that they got rid of the red interior lights....
I need to drive one with the 6.2 to see if the extra cost is worth it. Some say the 5.3 with the 3.42 are about on par with the 6.2?

Anyone who says that is just trying to convince themselves they made the right decision in not getting the 6.2.

It's just what I have read. I'll let you know what I think. I'm assuming you have driven both?

I drove the SLT and Denali before I bought the Denali. The main factor for buying the Denali was the 6.2L. I actually don't like the chrome grill and really wasn't wanting the 'flashiness' of the Denali, but it was the only way to get the 6.2.

I owned a 2013 Tahoe with the 5.3 before this and that thing was a turd.

I own both. Sierra Denali 5.3/3.42 and 6.2 Denali 8 speed and there is no comparison. 5.3 is under powered. Now i've also owned 2010 6.2 Sierra Denali 6 speed which felt stronger. Maybe yukon needs time to break in and is heavier not sure.

Is your Sierra 2015 or newer? The new generation 5.3 will walk circles around the last generation 5.3. I currently own both of those.

Yes it's a 2014 which is the new 5.3 and it's very slow/under powered. Drove other new gens so it's not a truck issue
