    [SOLVED] Hauling dirty/big things in Tahoe…

    Last fall after a good hunting trip, we put three large does in the back of my 2023 Premier for the trip to the meat processor. With the jump seats folded down and using a large tarp, we had zero problems.

    Towing hitches specifically

    If you're only towing a small landscape trailer, I'd go with a fixed ball mount with an 8" drop. Draw Tite, Curt and many other brands are available.

    Going to chance it

    I've decided to forego the Range DFM Module GM Refresh. Physically, I'm not able to remove it myself for trips to dealer's service department. I'll turn off auto stop each trip and will change oil between 3,000-3,500 miles. How dumb am I being?

    Michelin Defender LTX Tires

    Disabling AFM

    I've been disabling AFM using L9. I've noticed in city driving, the transmission feels sluggish and the shifts are not precise. When I go back to D it's like the Tahoe wakes up and performance is much better. For highway driving, I like the performance using L9, Is it critical to use L9 in...

    Passive Locks Issue

    I have the same problem with my passenger door passive lock. I googled this: "where is passenger passive lock fuse located on 2023 tahoe" and Google AI said the fuse is number 26 in the passenger side fuse box. I checked it and it's fine. Next stop dealer.

    Does Knapp Extended warranty negotiate pricing at all?

    None of the local dealers would sell me a GMPP. I used Knapp. Local dealers must accept GMPP in the event of a covered claim.
