    PPV motor mounts... use h3 or oem?

    Hey all, Sometimes when accelerating up an incline I will hear a clunk before the power is delivered to the ground. I'm pretty sure it is my motor mounts. After doing a brief search it seems like many people are using the hummer h3 mounts which are oslid instead of the OEM ACdelco hydraulic...

    Avoid 2015 Models?

    Hey all, I currently have a 2011 PPV tahoe and I'm tossing around the idea of making the upgrade to a 2015 tahoe. Took a short glance over the few threads here and it seems like there are a lot of folks unhappy with the 2015. Are there any major issues with the drivetrain that need to be...

    Tahoe PPV Tires

    Just adding some info for future searchers. Ended up going with the continental lx20's. I've been chasing phantom vibrations since I bought the tahoe. Replaced almost everything... wheel bearings, mounts, rebalanced the RSA's, rebuilt the driveshaft, tuned out the AFM etc etc. Turns out it was...

    Tahoe PPV Tires

    Sorry to bump such an old thread, but are there any long term updates you guys have with the tires you've purchased? Curious to see how the contis / nittos etc have held up. Seems like the RS-A's have dropped in price as well and are in line with the conti lx20's. At that price point it seems...

    200k mile maintenance items?

    Thanks for the info! Did you do the waterpump at this time too? What brand chain did you go with? I'm thinking about doing the fuel pump too.

    200k mile maintenance items?

    Hey guys, Slowly approaching 200k miles and would like to prepare for maintenance. What are some common items? Most service intervals charts I've found dont even go this high. Is the timing chain / chain tensioners something I should do? I plan on inspecting / replacing the following: -...

    Time for brakes

    If your calipers aren't leaking at the seals / locking up / sticking, I would not think you would have to replace them (which is why I asked why they recommended it) Most brake jobs you can get by with just replacing the rotors or getting them turned, along with fresh pads and fluids.

    Service Stabilitrak Error

    Just to post an update in case anyone searches for this in the future. I replaced the brake switch and it didnt fix the issue. Ended up being low brake fluid. Topped it off and no message since. But I'm assuming I'll have to do brakes in the near future.

    Overwhelmed

    In addition to what was mentioned above, check that ground strap from the engine to the firewall. As those age they tend to fray and cause all sorts of weird electrical issues.

    Service Stabilitrak Error

    Hey all, Today while I was turning into the parking lot at work, I heard 3 dings and I saw the E-brake light as well as the Traction Control light illuminate. No check engine lights or anything. I haven't had a chance to diagnose it yet. I turned the vehicle off and back on, and the only light...

    Resetting TPMS by disconnecting battery?

    Hey all, Its about that time of year where the temps drop, and everyone has TPMS questions :P When this has happened in the past, I just filled the tires up to the correct PSI and the TPMS light will go away shortly. However, this year the light has not gone away. I've also tried to relearn...

    Trans drain & filter change intervals

    Hey guys How often are you guys dropping the pan and changing the filter? Is there any circumstance where you would avoid doing this? (too many miles without change?) Or is it always a good idea to service these even if the last change is unknown? I don't want to cause any issues by stirring...
