New '23 LS bare bones&and some questions

[thegrunter]

Hi All,
I'm Dave. I did a few post previous. Just lemon lawed my '21 Blazer and got this Tahoe in the process. I didn't want to deal with a front wheel drive tranny again. It broke in the Blazer, so now I'm a RWD guy for good. Didn't want all the buzz and bells. Went with the basic LS with blackout and wheels. Less buzz and bells to break. You can see I like Gray.

Welcome from NY! I can appreciate your “less is better” approach keeping it basic. Less to break, less to fix. Nice Tahoe.

 

[Tonyrodz]

I feel the same. Less doodads to break. Love the Holden too.

If you live in the right area for the 2wd set up, it is the way to go for sure. Nice looking Tahoe. Congrats

This is not yet the most basic))) I saw Le tahoe on sale like. In general, fabric interior, three front seats, three in the second row, three in the third row. It looks very funny))

ya those are usually the bottom tier typically sold for commercial use like a work truck trim. I wouldn't mind that trim with a 6.2l but they won't wont make it. lol

That's pretty smart. Congratulations on the Tahoe.

I drive gmt800s and that's enough electronics for me. I'm always trying to learn about diagnostics however. I was recently watching a YT video on the complexity of diagnosing modern vehicles and all of the networks and stuff. The guy on the video put a reference on the screen of a 2021 Cadillac Escalade and mentioned it had something like 73 modules! Daaang! H*O-Lee Chit Batman!

I ain't fixing one of those with my test light!

Welcome from Miami&NYC Dave!

Excellent choice!! Grey is one of my favorite colors.

What surprised me was the LS model had the parking sensors (dots on the bumpers) active. They annoy me in the SS because I can see everything around me and they beep for a garden hose on the ground, but in a big blind spot Tahoe, I am going to appreciate that surprise feature. I don't know if I like the auto stop in a V8. Starter motors on a V6 or 4 banger probably can do that, but a V8 might see more wear on that starter. I'll gladly pay for gas to avoid replacing a starter.

Could probably get a module that plugs in to the obd2 for afm/start stop from range

Nice rig. Great outcome for a lemon-problem. Lemonade, right?

Is there a workaround for the idle-stop? Best feature in DW’s Acura MDX is a push-button override.

How much did you pay for the vehicle?

Question: When I open a door, I hear a buzzing. I don't have the air bags, so the Tahoe is not rising or lowering. That is what I thought it was until I found out the air bags are optional. It doesn't happen every time I open a door. It seems to happen on the first opening in the morning. Could it be the fuel pump?

Welcome to this great forum.

Yes, its fuel pump

 

[Hoesgottaeat2]

It could be the fuel pump. But only if the key is on. If the buzzing is occurring with key off, then it is not the fuel pump.

on new cars with keyless start, usually the fuel pump pumps up when the car feels that the key is in range, i.e. when the driver approaches the car with the key. For some, it happens when the door opens. Because the driver's next action is to press the Start button. At this point, the fuel pump should already be at operating pressure.

I notice the sound when I open a door, so it's probably the Fuel Pump. That makes sense.
