    I found my dream Tahoe

    The 5.3L is a V8 but can feel under powered and sluggish (I live in Colorado so the altitude doesn't help). I see a lot of black and silver Tahoes around here. Mine is black and looks sharp!

    I found my dream Tahoe

    Jealous! I LOVE everything about my 2013 LTZ except the 5.3L. Lacking power!

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    The Dillon RAM dealership in Boise will special order at the same sale prices. I assume their GMC dealership would do the same. It's probably too late to order a 2017 but you could order a 2018 with everything you want for a great price. I'd give them a call.

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    Just out of curiosity, what options are missing from the inventory at Dillon? What don't they have that you're looking for?

    Rattling when on idle!!!

    I agree! When I'm stopped at a stoplight my engine vibrates at 500 RPM. If I hold the brake with my left foot and slowly apply pressure to the gas peddle it only takes about a 200 rpm increase and the vibration goes away. The vibration is clearly tied to the low idle RPM but the dealership...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    Dillon advertises 3 different prices: MSRP- Sale Price- As Low As Price- Anyone can walk in and purchase the vehicle at the "sale price" (which is usually an amazing deal). No qualifications are required for the Sale Price. Most people will not qualify for all of the incentives required for...

    Rattling when on idle!!!

    I have a 2013 Tahoe with the 5.3L engine. I bought the truck new and it's had a rough idle since day one. I've taken it into the dealership multiple times and I'm always told that the "rough" idle is a characteristic of this particular engine. I finally gave up fighting it and decided to live...

    Transmission Fluid Flush??

    2013 Tahoe 4WD Just had my 40k mile oil change done at the dealership and the service rep recommended a transmission fluid flush to the tune of $300. I pointed out that the GM service manual requires this at 97,500 miles. He became agitated and told me to "do whatever I want". I don't tow...

    Ever sell it and regret it?

    I came close to trading in my '13 Tahoe LTZ for a RAM 1500 Sport but just couldn't let the Tahoe go. I'm glad I came to my senses.

    1st post, a few questions re LTZ and Denali pls

    My 2013 LTZ is the most comfortable riding vehicle I've ever owned. I've done several long road trips with the family and it drives like a dream. Very little driving fatigue. "Harsh" would be the exact opposite word I'd use but that's just my opinion.

    Chevrolet Protection Plan

    Has anyone purchased the Chevy protection plan as an extended warranty on their vehicle? My factory warranty expired last month and I received an email offer for this plan. $98 a month for 21 months. Zero deductible and covers the next 3 years or 36k miles. I'm not normally an extended...

    squeek in the column? ?

    My 2013 Tahoe makes a whining sound when I first turn the wheel after it has been sitting for more than 15 minutes. Seems to go away after the first 2-3 turns but I'm sure it's a precursor to a costly fix. Had it at the dealership last month before the factory warranty expired and they couldn't...

    Denver, CO Area Mechanic

    My factory warranty is about to expire on my 2013 Tahoe and I'm trying to find a reliable shop in the Denver Metro area for future repairs. Anyone have someone they trust?

    Extended Warranty?

    I bought the truck new. Within the first week I noticed that it had a rough idle. I've had it at several dealerships and each time I have a service technician sit in it. Each time they mention that the rough idle is excessive and beyond normal but never come up with a cause. At 5,000 miles I...

    Extended Warranty?

    I'm looking for some advice on the purchase of an extended warranty. I have a 2013 Tahoe LTZ with 31K miles. The factory warranty expires in February. I've owned the truck since new but have had several issues with it during the first 3 years of ownership. Does anyone have any...
