    At a loss with electrical/mech problems - 2015 Tahoe LTZ

    Oil pickup tube o-ring replacement

    I have a 2007 Tahoe (4x4) with the 5.3; it's on tracks, use it on the lakes in the winter. It started having low oil pressure, when hot, at idle. Verified it wasn't the sensor via manual gauge. I left the oil pan on (4x4 so it's a pain to drop it). Instead, I went through the front cover...

    2025 with problems

    Wife has a '21 with 48k on it. I spent the last week in it on a large road trip. I noticed that 'at times' the oil pressure was below 30psi at highway speeds, at other times it was running a fair a bit higher. I don't recall this ever being a thing. Also, after it had been running for a...

    Early oil change opinions

    follow the dash; unless changing it early makes you feal better, it's your money how I got my opinion, Find a large fleet, find the Operations Director, ask them how they handle their oil changes for the 100k so vehicles they have. I have yet to find one that is doing early oil changes. The...

    GMC v. Chevrolet - Does Brand Matter?

    3.0 vs 6.2

    We have both a 3.0 and a 6.2 in Denali xl's 3.0 gets better mileage, that's the only benefit, if the mileage wasn't so much better no reason to buy one 6.2 has more power (more noticeable at interstate speeds) and is quieter (mostly noticeable at idle) the gm 3.0 is way better with short trips...
