    Bilstein Front Shock Help

    Hi guys, I ran into a little confusion while having the shocks replaced on my 2009 Tahoe Hybrid. I looked up the part catalog on Bilstein.com and ordered 24186933 for the rears and 24186926 for the front. According to the mechanic installing the shocks for me, the rears are fine, but the...

    Lo Beams not working

    So I tried changing the relay labeled "HDLP LO/HID"...no change, and checked both 20amp low beam fuses (#11 & 16)... they're both fine any ideas?

    Lo Beams not working

    Hi guys, looking for some input on an issue I just started having with the Tahoe. Both low beam headlights quit working today... they don't work with the light selector switch in auto or low beam mode. The DRLs and high beams come on fine. Interestingly, when I turn the light selector switch...

    2014 Minimax coming??

    Just looked it up, the 2013 Colorado will be a global GM truck and actually goes on sale in international markets first. There are 2 diesels available, but they wont offer them in the U.S, at least not initially. Thats too bad :chicken...

    2014 Minimax coming??

    Is it possible that this diesel engine could be for the upcoming Colorado/Canyon pickup replacement?

    Question from a prospective new owner.

    Im guessing you'll get about $4000 off MSRP on a 2012 vs. a 2013. Also 0.9% APR since its "Truck Month" (lol when isn't it right?) Doubt the discounts will be too deep right now, they probably start heating up 1-2 months before the new 2014'***** the lot. Im actually a fan of the 4runner...

    2014 Minimax coming??

    I sure hope they do this. Especially if they tune this set-up for better fuel economy & refinement instead of raw towing power. It would also be refreshing if they decide not to charge a huge price premium over the gas engines for the diesels...I would buy one!

    New here thinking of a denali

    After putting around 15,000 miles on my Tahoe so far I find it to be just O.K. Fit and finish is definitely a few notches below trucks like the QX56 & GL Benz. (Even a Brand new Escalade I test drove around a month ago cannot compare to the imports) My truck has some pretty annoying rattles that...

    Actual hp

    Not sure how accurate those horsepower numbers are?.... One big complaint I have with my 2009 Tahoe Hybrid is how sluggish acceleration is from a stop, at higher speeds, acceleration is a little more acceptable. But its still pretty pathetic for a 6.0L V8 in my opinion. I think the problem is...

    2009 Tahoe Oil Leak

    Got the Tahoe back from the shop. The old filter was leaking. According to the service tech. there was no apparent reason for this other than a faulty oil filter (it was AC Delco Duraguard brand). He said it just wasn't forming a seal. I went ahead and had the oil & filter changed, the new set...

    2009 Tahoe Oil Leak

    Thanks guys. :Handshake: Well it leaked a little more oil over night, the oil level on the dipstick in now towards the lower end of the normal range. I dropped it off at an independent shop that I trust near my house.(Every dealer in town is closed on Sunday) Told them to check and see if...

    2009 Tahoe Oil Leak

    Just checked under the truck, the filter is tight. But it might be cross-threaded or something. I cleaned the filter really well with a cloth, then ran the engine for about 10 min I'll check in a little while if oil is on the filter again. Weirdly the filter has a big letter "E" written with a...

    2009 Tahoe Oil Leak

    Checked under the truck. There is some oil on the filter. Maybe they overtightened the drain plug and cracked something? I wont be able to make it to the dealer before Thursday unfortunately. Im confused though....the oil was changed about 4 weeks ago, considering the puddles of oil have been...
