    Best Oil Filter for Tahoe Z71 2019 Midnight Edition

    2020 Tahoe Z71 Midnight Edition 5.3. Not telling you what to do. In my case, I'm out of warranty, and no extended warranty. I'm at about 75K and have decided to switch to Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5W30, and do oil changes at 3K miles. Truck is running perfectly, and I have a Range Dongle...

    Should I buy a 2026 Tahoe Z71 with 5.3 Engine?

    2020 Tahoe Z71 with the 5.3 and 68k miles. Other than a battery, and new starter, truck has been great. No, or negligible, oil loss between changes. If you decide to go this way, a big thing with these engines is oil change intervals. Don't go by what the truck tells you for oil life, and use a...

    K&N Oil Seperator (Catch Can)

    Thought about adding a Catch Can to my 5.3 powered 2020 Tahoe over the years, but never did it. A couple months ago, I noticed K&N came out with their own version that used the OEM hoses and mounting location. Decided to give it a try. Really glad I did. I installed it about 2k miles ago. As...

    Just had Torque Convertor Changed in My 6L80E to Avoid Future Problems (Hopefully).

    2020 Tahoe Z71 Midnight Edition. Love the truck, but all the talk of the stock TC going bad and destroying the transmission was weighing on me. 55K miles currently, and plan on doing more traveling out West this year. I thought about just buying a new Tahoe, but like I said, I love the truck...

    Are the 2021+ Tahoes that much better than a 2020?

    For the guys that had a 2015-2020 Tahoe, and then upgraded to a 2021+ Tahoe. Are they that much improved, are you glad you upgraded? I currently have a 2020 Tahoe Midnight Edition Z71 with 51K miles. I love it, but have been thinking of trading it in on a 2024 Z71. Doesn't look like they offer...

    GM 6L80 Transmission Information Thread

    Nick, Sorry if this has been asked and answered already. I have a 2020 Tahoe with the 5.3 and 6L80, currently 45K miles. No issues currently that I'm aware of, but I keep hearing about the problems with the Torque Converter going bad and then ruining the transmission. I had the dealer change...

    5.3 Guys, opinion on oil change intervals

    Every 5000 with quality synthetic oil and filter. I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance and a K & N filter. Disregard what the oil life monitor says unless you want AFM engine problems.

    How many miles on original brake pads?

    Just curious. I know it depends on driving habits, whether or not you tow, etc, but I was just wondering how many miles on average most are getting before you have to replace the OE brake pads? On my 2020 Tahoe, with 40K miles, the pads still look like they have plenty of life left.

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    This is what I used for the Aux battery. https://www.interstatebatteries.com/products/mtx-48/h6/2020-chevrolet-tahoe-v853l In my 2020 Tahoe, the starting battery is an H7, but the Aux is an H6. An H7 won't fit in the Aux battery tray. The batteries don't need to match if you're running a VSR...

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    On my 2020 Tahoe, there was no connection for this. I just replaced this relay with the Keyline VSR.

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    Yes, my 2020 didn't have the wiring connection for the relay. I just removed the relay and wiring from the harness and replaced it with the Keyline VSR. It does the same thing as the relay only electronically.
