    0W-20 to 0W-40?

    You mean 0W-40? It looks like you've been doing good with what you're already doing and a year that still had good engines.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I would guess the failure rate is similar. A large amount of trucks get used for the same sort of driving as full size SUV's. The days of trucks being primarily used for work are long gone.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    At the same time these engines have been using 0W-20 since around 2013 without major issues until the last few years with the 6.2 and now there are people who even have failures within a short amount of time of getting a warranty engine. That's a huge sign there's something else going on.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    It looks like 2013/2014 was the switch over to 0W-20. While that is a very thin oil it seems like the switch to thicker oil is a band aid to get the engines with defective parts past the warranty period. There's a lot of years of vehicles with a lot of problem free miles on them running 0W-20 to...

    Recall = M1 0w-40

    When it was manufactured means nothing it's the year of the truck that makes the difference.

    Odd to me Dash Light

    You can turn that speed limit indicator on and off in one of the dash options. Mine went missing after one of the modules was replaced. On roads with no info it disappears. I think its based on the built in nav system because we don't use onstar but it seems like they'll switched to onstar on...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    They've said before thst thicker oil causes issues with the AFM lifters so I wonder if this change might cause shift to more issues with that. While 20 weight is thin oil a lot of vehicles have been using it for 25 years or more without these major issues so it seems more like a bandaid on GMs...

    Spun Rod Bearing - 2021 Yukon Denali 6.2 L

    Where's the source for Chrysler using Chinese bearings? That's a new one. They never had major engine issues like these ones. Their biggest problem has been the same sort of lifter issue as GMs are having.

    PPV and engine hours.

    The Ford number is for idle hours, not engine hours which is already partially included in the odometer mileage. It's more to track maintenance then wear but it is pretty common for police vehicles to have 6000 or more idle hours.

    98 Yukon oil pressure on the lower side and mechanical whirring noise?

    That sounds like typical power steering pump, alternator, tensioner type noise. Can't tell from video you should be able to pinpoint it under the hood. Our 99 isn't very high on the oil pressure guage when it's warm but is high cold and moves around at different rpm. If there's no ticking lack...

    2017 Air Dam trim or removal?

    Yukon amd tahoe have different part but mounted the same way.

    2017 Air Dam trim or removal?

    Mine was cut off and it probably looked better that way then those stupid ears hanging down on either end of it. I don't pull up over curbs in parking lots so that's a non issue but it can drag in deep snow and other conditions.

    OEM Splash Guards - Installed (Rivet needed?)

    A rivet wouldn't use a very big hole you should be able to use a screw instead.

    2015-2017 vs 2018-2020

    Does not fit also means something changed with the part like the look or color. It's not very likely they changed the vehicle side of it.

    Dust Covers/Caps for GMC Rims on my '01 Tahoe

    You'll have better luck finding them if you search for center caps. They can be specific to the rim so it could be hard finding chevy ones.

    Too Much Rust?

    Around here anything that old is pampered or rotted out. There's no worry about that rust.

    22" chrome wheel leaks

    I've never had tubes installed in a vehicle with tpms do that was a very good point. I guess the real issue is the shop didn't spend enough time actually cleaning the bead area or it was around the valve. And hopefully not a crack!!

    The front driver should do it to not just passenger.

    22" chrome wheel leaks

    I mentioned tubes the other day. There are tubes specifically for radial tires and there's usually no problems using them but I don't know about tires that big.

    2001 or 2025 for Summer Trips

    How far are these trips? If you're on top of maintenance there shouldn't be problems. Another plus is those older ones shops are used to them and you can usually limp them along. Newer ones might be less likely to break down but you could have something as simple as a module fail and leave you...

    Chevy Tahoe High Country vs Ford Expedition Limited

    The one big thing that keeps us in the big GM suv's is that they're far more common around here and the Expeditions are virtually non existent as they get older. But Navigators seem to be around.
