    6L80 Shuddering - Questions

    When m son's 6L started going out it would feel like a cylinder missfire on easy cruise/light acceleration in higher gears. That was the TC clutch letting go and it sure did destroy the transmission. But on take off and under power in lower gears it was fine. The TC clutch is not doing anything...

    **Solved** 2004 Tahoe gauge cluster issues

    If that still doesn't work maybe throw in the towel. Son sent his to an outfit called Circuit Medics. It was screwing up then quit all together. They replace all the steppers and all new lamps, check all connections etc. Shipped to them on his dime, their full cost was $200 shipped. Three...

    [SOLVED] Pesky Squeak

    Any chance of a piece of grit or sand got in a brake pad? I've actually had that happen and make a squeak, not real loud but aggravating.

    I forgot what a PITA it is to drop the transmission pan NEED HELP w 2 Manifold Nuts

    I did mine at just over 30k miles and those exhaust bolt were really tight. Seems like they must have been torqued to about 70 flbs. One an older vehicle with some rusty studs that would be really a pain.

    Replaced Infotainment Screen and problem is worse - SOLVED

    i purchased my screen unit from Amazon, it had the same brand name as the OE. slightly different lettering, and it has been fine - so far. Only difference is the new screen has a shiny surface instead of the dull finish on the original. And note that the little ribbon cables don't actually...

    Died at 70mph on I-75

    Take the cash. Look for another very similar Yukon with a 5.3. Might find one now without the fuel management and auto stop? Runs fine on regular gas.

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    I'd guess your Tahoe has the GovLok differential and that newer tire won't hurt anything.

    2002 suburban factory radio locked

    Is this a chip inside the radio that plugs in? When new these radios don't have a code set (our 2001 didn't). Maybe a replacement chip would get you back to 100%?

    Can I get some real help, just got humiliated at dealership?

    Side note. If the AC refrigerant was making a hissing sound from a leak the system would have quit working in a day or two at most. The hissing sound, if constant, would have to be a vacuum leak of some sort. I'd take it to an independent shop and have them give it a recharge and see how long...

    Transmission Temps??

    On our 2019 with a towing package I've never seen a temp over 185 or so and that was in the usual big jam around Atlanta on a real warm day. I did put the lower temp. thermostat on the trans but that wouldn't have much to do with max operating temps.

    Touch screen trouble, radio reset?

    Finally got a chance to work on this. Followed the video linked above (Thanks!) and it was exactly what I needed. Sure not easy to get those one way push in fasteners out. Screen and radio working fine, so far. How did we live without the internet?

    RESET COMPASS 2015 Tahoe

    I had my battery unhooked for a couple hours and the word CAL came on in that spot. After I drove around a bit it started showing the direction. So maybe just unhook the battery for a while?

    6.2 Supercharger Coming for 2027?

    That would sure test those main bearings. Better than a turbo four banger though, like they are putting in everything else.

    Well I think a lifter left the chat

    I wonder if it could be a sticking valve? Give it the SeaFoam treatment and a couple full throttle tuneups when it gets up to full temperature for a while.
