    Parts and Labor Guide FOR FREE!

    I have to admit that All.Data would have been my preferred go to for information processes and labor times BUT the monthly fee was too much. I had an All Data local sales rep text me, out of the blue, and said he had heard about me. What? How? When? Where? From Whom?.....Anyway, he offered their...

    Accept Buy-Back or Not

    Yea, I get it. Just not enough "sparklies" on a 2019. Now I see the reason and completely agree.....NOT! I don't see anywhere that he says, "trading in wife's vehicle". He says "his". I get it. If you can afford it, do what you want. If you buy all the bells and whistles, live with the...

    Accept Buy-Back or Not

    Hard to believe that with your first post in this entire thread, you presume to speak for all 2021+ vehicle owners or prospective buyers. The original post talked about a 2026 Yukon that has been in the shop for many many days and was asking opinions. Members here are not locked in to one...

    Extended Warranty on 2026 Tahoe LS 4WD 5.3L

    You can buy a rock solid GMT800 Tahoe or Yukon and try to stick with a 2005 or 2006. Buy one that has no rust problems. Lots of them in the PNW and southern states. The 5.3 or 6.0 engines are strong and are 300k to 400k mileage engines if has been taken care of. I am on the lookout all the time...

    2005 Tahoe Slow Coolant Loss

    I think what is not being considered, like in @mikez71 case, "usually after several months" can be water evaporation. You have a 50/50 mixture and it is not uncommon for some water to evaporate.

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    So, tackled a 2020 Colorado with 26,500 miles and the 3.6 V6 engine. Recently had a 2018 Suburban, landlords, doing the same thing as this Colorado. Temp gauge stuck at 160 degrees, CEL codes P0118 and P0128, having to do with the thermostat and the Coolant Temp Sensor. The cooling fans were...

    Parasitic draw

    If you watch the videos, it will tell you the process of the diagnostics. Plus, if draw is intermittent, it makes the diagnostics harder. The self contained battery, makes it so you can disconnect the vehicle battery without losing the circuit continuity. The process starts by seeing a draw that...

    Extended Warranty on 2026 Tahoe LS 4WD 5.3L

    If you are talking about me, not sure but "if", I am commenting on this for many reasons. I have been in the shops for close to 45 years. I have even worked on newer generation models than my GMT800. I have very strong opinions about extended warranties. I also am VERY aware of the "gadgets"...
