    Using thicker oil in 2022 Tahoe 5.3L Engine

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! What do the GM engineers know, anyway? They're the ones that created the camshaft problem in the first place. As well as all the transmission problems, etc. IF you have a problem, how will the dealer know what oil you ran in it? If you think they're going to test the...

    2017 Air Dam trim or removal?

    I really don't see why people are making this so difficult. I did it on our 2016 Tahoe, marked it with tape then cut it with a pneumatic cut-off saw. Recently bought a 2019 Yukon and that's the first thing I did to it. This time, I didn't even bother with the tape. There is a line in the...

    Denalis stopping while driving- class action suit?

    This is lunacy. You're going to start a class action lawsuit because your car broke down? Nobody builds a perfect vehicle that will never break down. Good thing you weren't around 'back in the day." Now, if you find a consistent problem that can be repaired or prevented, then you might have...

    Touch screen issue

    The digitizer glass on your touch screen is bad. This is the outer layer of the screen. This can be done in a couple of hours if your handy and patient. Cost is about $100 for the good glass, less for the not so good glass. Lots of info here: https://www.cuescreens.com/why-is-this-happening

    Steering question

    As others have said, check for any looseness throughout the suspension and steering linkage. However, the steering on the older Tahoes/Yukons is very light. I had a '97 that was very twitchy, and my 2009 is better. My '16 is a lot better than either of the previous ones were. The brand of...

    [HOW TO] Replace Serpentine Belt, AC Belt, Serpentine Idler Pulley - 2021+ 5.3L/6.2L V8's - Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade

    Geez! GM engineering just gets more and more stupid every day! And the belt going bad ad 63K miles? Should last about 200 K!

    Eric O-Exhaust Manifold Bolt Removal

    If you want the good stuff, use Mica Lube from The BG Service Company. It's used on spark plug on very hot running industrial engines. Ain't cheap, $55/can. https://www.amazon.com/Anti-Seize-Compound-Mica-Lubricant-A718/dp/B00H26S494 One 4 ounce can will last a very long time. It needs to...

    2016 Tahoe, How To Display Gallons Used?

    The DIC in my 2009 Tahoe displays total gallons of fuel used since it was last reset. This comes in handy on long trips because the fuel gauge is inaccurate. My wife has a 2016 Tahoe and for the life of me I can't figure out how to display gallons used. Looked in the book and it's not...

    08 Tahoe Vibration - SOLVED

    You said that a Road Force Balance was done, but this does not replace a standard balance. Have you checked that the tires are round?

    Engine mount

    I changed the left one on my '09 Tahoe a couple of months ago. Removed left front wheel and fender liner. I didn't want to lift the engine by the oil pan or the exhaust system. There is a small flat pad, I believe on the bell housing, that I was able to push on with a piece of 2x4 and a floor...

    Suburban towing a Suburban

    Just make sure the rental truck isn't a Ford. A Ford towing a Chevy leaves a bad impression.

    Front air dam ??

    I cut about an inch off the bottom of my 2016 Tahoe's air dam. Got tired of damaging it on curbs.
