    New '23 LS bare bones&and some questions

    ahhh.... thanks for the video. Removing the pan makes it more expensive. I'm glad they did that because if there is any grease from the assembly, it would drain to the pan and just replacing the fluid doesn't get the grease in the pan that can taint the fluid. Time will tell if that $500 was a...

    New '23 LS bare bones&and some questions

    I took the Tahoe in for a Transmission fluid change at 600 miles. This is a precaution service after my '21 Blazer was Lemon Lawed because the tranny broke. The tranny was manufactured with too much lube on the parts and that lube caused slippage in the torque converter. I have been driving...

    What year would you avoid in a Tahoe or Yukon?

    Not sure if the Tahoe ever got the 8 speed tranny like the Silverado, but I would say those years based on the Silverado issues. I think the Tahoe went from 6 to 10, but I am by no means an expert on that.

    New '23 LS bare bones&and some questions

    This buzzing happened when I shut the tailgate. The tailgate was already open and when I shut it, I heard a buzzing. I don't think it's a fuel pump now. The Tahoe doesn't have ride height air bags adjust, so it can't be that.... Or does it? It's a barebone LS, so I don't think there is a...

    What can I gain from a tune?

    You might be able to beat the 4 Cyl Hyundai Tucson off the line. That would be something to get the old heart pumping. Some slugs are meant to be slugs.

    It's on the top of the tailgate on the edge. It's definitely an imperfection. This photo doesn't show the depth, but you can tell the edge isn't smooth.

    New '23 LS bare bones&and some questions

    Had to get a tool to wash the top. It allowed me to get a good look at the top. I noticed some imperfections in some of the edges where I suspect the paint can chip off and exposed rust. It's like a drip of paint or primer hardened on the edge creating a noticeable bump. I plan to bring it in...

    A ‘23 Burb is finally mine…

    The newer seats have all the heater and power adjust mechanics that seem to compromise the cushion effects. I notice that in new cars too.

    Dark Ash Metallic

    I love the Dark Ash Metallic. I do see a little purple tint under certain lighting. I was ready to wrap the chrome bits black, but I saw a RST Dark Ash Metallic and didn't like the rear with just the bow tie chrome. I looked at mine with the chrome stripe and black bowtie and I like how it...

    Cost of trans fluid change

    I recently lemon lawed my 21 Blazer because the tranny started to shudder at 6200 miles. GM told me it was a known issue during the assembly where too much lube between parts got into the fluid and caused slippage and wear on the torque converter. I noticed the shifts were noticeable, but...

    2024 Tahoe EV RST look.

    A Tahoe should be gas and oil. That's not a Tahoe.

    2017 PPV NEW MEMBER

    I assume a PPV is an old police car. What did the center console look like when you got it? I assume it's not there because they install all the computer and electronics.

    Vibration at 80mph

    A lot of balancers are set to freeway speeds like 55-65. 80 mph might be an indication the balance at 60 wasn't spot-on.

    Oil pressure question

    Thanks to all the replies. I just got a '23 Tahoe and it's the first car I ever had with an oil pressure gauge and I had no idea how to read it. It's about 60 cold and drops to about 30 when warm and at an idle. I can see from other replies that 30 seems okay. I do know from NASCAR that if...

    Advice on Black Out of a 2023 Tahoe

    How do they trim the vinyl and not cut through paint resulting is rust bubbling up years later? I only imagine an exacto knife is used to trim. I can't think of any tool that can get into creases and cut the vinyl. Am I not understanding the process? I don't think they dismantle a car and...
