    2nd row swap bench for buckets? Florida

    Yep, I remember LWB and SWB are different, but thought the earlier years had an issue with the carpet not fitting correctly? Shouldnt be an issue on my side as I put brand new carpet in and have full coverage.? Thanks for the input

    2nd row swap bench for buckets? Florida

    Hey Guys, I have a mint condition 2013 Suburban LTZ. I have second row bench in tan leather. No rips, tears, stains, smells, or wear. I prefer buckets and read of many wanting the bench for larger families. If you have the same condition, color buckets and would like to swap for the bench I am...

    In Which My Truck Saves My Ass. Literally.

    Isnt the Gruven part still threaded into plastic? Is it just harder to break out ? I am all for it, as I have seen a video of a thief breaking the door handle in 2 seconds.

    The right price for Suburban 2500 6.0L?

    Been a car guy my whole life, and bought many car/trucks. There is no possible way that is the accurate mileage. That odometer has been played with, no doubt. I have a 2013 Suburban that was a one owner, maintained with double that mileage....and my truck is near showroom condition and nothing...

    New Battery

    The Maxx battery from walmart is one of the best. What led me to try them years ago was an article i read at that time explaining they were made by Johnstone industries? one of the larger battery manufactures. The big plus is the high turnover rate at walmart ensuring a newer battery each time...

    My AC fan sounds like it is surging.

    Its either your cabin filter or battery cables is my vote. Many have had the battery cable issue with it deteriorating from the inside causing resistance. Still looks good but it isn't. The earlier trucks were more susceptible to this. I would clean all positive and negative batery cables under...

    Looking for deal

    The desire for the last generation ended in 2018 and 2018 -2020 has lagged in sales even with incentives and discounts. They wont be discounting the 2021 anytime soon. They need to make their money while there is a demand. Howard Bently had 4k discounts on some undesirable colors recently but...

    The Originating Dealership Gave Me The History Report

    I had a 2015 and a 2017 Yukon Denali XL. The worst generation GM ever built-never again. I was at the dealer every month or two. I felt like I worked for GM fixing their truck. Transmission out of the truck 2 times, broken AC, tons of issues, unacceptable for an 80 thousand dollar truck. I...

    09 Tahoe - Flush power steering system

    As stated above suck it out refill with fresh, start, turn left to right several times. Stop, suck it out, refill, left to right again. I had to do this three times to get to a decent stae of clean. Then I drive for a day or two, then repeat the process till clean fluid. This is only for really...

    Air suspension pump on 2012 Denali

    Its a great feature on the truck. When towing or fully loaded it makes the truck. I remember all the helper springs or heavy duty springs that rode terrible daily but worked only when towing or loaded. Arnott is a cheap easy fix, well worth having this option. 5-600 bucks every 100k well worth...

    Air suspension pump on 2012 Denali

    Just replaced mine on the 2013 Suburban LTZ. 104K on her. I heard the pump each time I started for a while but Just thought it was normal. Had no issues.....til I recently towed my race car. 5500 lbs 500 tounge weight. Everytime I would stop and shut truck off it would drop. Start up and pump...

    Anyone found a hack to stop WeatherTech liner sides from falling in?

    I have had many brands of mats. I hated the weathertech for more than one reason but the main reason was material. Too hard and slippery. The best mat out there IMHO is the Husky X-act fit mat. Rubber and has traction also perfect fit. They dont move. If insistent on saving your mats maybe a...

    Just purchased used 2017 Suburban Premier, anything I should look out for?

    I had the same issue with my 2017 Denali. Here is my post and what actually fixed it even after they replaced the compressor. Its a bad design and the sound is transmitted into the cabin. Its a cheap fix...

    Transmission Towing Temp

    I have a 2013 Suburban 5.3 w/ 6 speed also. Just towed to Virginia 800 miles. It was hot out. In the moring I didnt touch 200 degrees. Afternoon 200-215 all day. 1600 miles of towing and my trans fluid is still cherry red as it was changed out 5k before I left for trip. Very important to check...

    Just purchased used 2017 Suburban Premier, anything I should look out for?

    I had a 2015 Denali XL and it was a nightmare. My list was longer than yours. Dealer made good and gave below invoice pricing on a 2017 Denali XL. After 18 months and more issues I realized this generation has too many issues. For the money the comfort and quality just arent there, I bailed out...

    Replacement magnetic ride control rear shocks on 2015 Denali

    The '15 and '16 Denali are about the worst riding trucks when they were new. I had a '15 and a '17. I believe only the front shocks are mag shocks. The rears are normal air shocks. They ride like an old truck. Part of my reason for getting out of that generation truck, and going back to a 2013...

    5.3 L59, No Oil Pressure Due to Sludge, Help!

    5.3 engines can be pretty cheap used. Personally I wound not waste my time with that labor or engine. Swapping the motor is easier and cheaper and you will know prior what you have. 800-1200 for a 5.3 -2 days labor and your back on the road.

    Texas Speed

    Don't do it! I had a 2014, 2015, 2015, and a 2017. They all had stupid issues. Read the forums. Too much to list. I gave up and traded my Denali 6.2 for a Mercedes and bought a 2013 Suburban LTZ as our second truck. So happy to be back in the LS truck. I have been a GM truck owner for over 30...

    Maintenance pricing as our Tahoe ages - what’s appropriate now versus waiting

    I was in the same bought right after my purchase of a 2013 Suburban LTZ that was very well maintained by the dealer since new. But as you approach 100K it is time to tighten things up. I do not believe in addressing items one at a time as it takes away from your enjoyment of use and can be very...

    RIP 1999 Yukon; What Next?

    2010-2014 southern truck that was maintained will go the distance. I have 3.42's in my '13 and would not want to have less and have even considered putting in 3.73's but don't want to lose any fuel mileage as this truck has become our family road trip- highway hauler. Good luck
