Accelaration
I had this problem when I owned my 2011 Tahoe LTZ and it turned out to be fuel injector issues. After replacement all was fine but I would go with the advise of the experts here, you need to get it and the dealer will start you off at $185 with no guarantee that they will fix the problem.- Sundancer

Highway driving - do you make constant corrections or can you relax?
wow this is tough to hear that you are having such difficulty with this long distance driving. In the last 6 weeks, (visiting family) we (wife, Golden Retriever and I) just did a New York to Tampa drive to and from and it felt like I was gliding all the way on our 2020 Tahoe RST. We stayed 3...- Sundancer

Engine Misfire Mishap
Folks, an Update on my Engine Misfire situation. The dealer removed the drivers side valve cover and also discovered that the drivers side fuel injectors (all) are also in really bad shape. No one knows why but they too are being replaced so that I dont have this issue again. I had to rent a car...- Sundancer

Are Yukons/Tahoes reliable?
Prior to owning a Tahoe truck, I drove a Honda Accord and I sold it with 56K miles and jumped into a 2003 Tahoe LT. It was an impressive experience and I have not looked back. I bought a 2011 Tahoe LTZ new and besides the normal maintenance, I only have changed the Throttle Assembly body and...- Sundancer

22" chrome wheel leaks

It was only in the last 2 years , both times it was the TPMS stems that were replaced and never have had the issue again. I had the same issue on my wife's Audi last year on both front... -

2001 or 2025 for Summer Trips
Bravo for you and the meticulous upkeep of your Tahoe. I own a 14 year old Tahoe and it has 174K that just made it from NY to Tampa and back without a hitch and ice cold A/C in Florida. Cars are like people, some good , some bad but I feel that no one knows your car like you and you are similar...- Sundancer

I just purchased a Certified 2020 Tahoe Premier RST 6.2 with 38K on it. The truck just came off lease and I have been looking for one with a bench seat for months that fit all of our needs.

what useful items do you carry in your SUV?
Maybe I am paranoid but I keep a fire extinguisher, a long pry bar, flares, a safety vest, a first aid kit, NOCO GENIUS10 battery charger, led flashlight, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, hand warmers, pair of work gloves, a winter wool hat, vice grip, set of screwdrivers and a mallet hammer... -
Engine shuts off while driving - SOLVED
I have almost the same issue going on on my 2011 Tahoe LTZ since November. Mine just hesitates on a cold crank initially but then starts up perfectly and the rest of the day is okay. I have gone to the Chevy dealer 3 separate times as my mechanic did not have the necessary diagnostic tools...- Sundancer

Need support. Just found out my radiator is leaking
I totally agree with your assessment as the cost of mechanical work either at the dealer or a local guy is astronomical. I myself tinker with automotive tasks since I was a teen and while I cant say that I am anywhere near the knowledge in this forum, I appreciate the responses and reading them...- Sundancer

Looking at 90k and up Burbs for 2nd truck - what would your game plan be?
Well, for some background, the truck has been serviced meticulously over the years to include tune ups, tires, oil change, transmission oil/filter, gear box fluid,. In November I got a check Engine light and it would not start as usual until about 2 -3 attempts to include remote start. Since we...- Sundancer

Looking at 90k and up Burbs for 2nd truck - what would your game plan be?
I am in the same boat. I have a 2011 LTZ which I have enjoyed for 14 years with 172k on it, in excellent conditions. I have had no issues with it except the last 2months where it’s been at the Chevy dealer 3 times. Replaced the battery, the TPS, the Mass Air Flow sensor and the throttle body...- Sundancer
