    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    yup i've used them plenty of times for tire swaps/ installs but this latest experience rubbed me the wrong way. They did nothing but cause me more headache.

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    It was discount tire and they gave me the B.S excuse "we cant install a tire with a patch and not a plug for liability". I asked multiple employees to just put it on and id take it to a new shop and they refused. Not super thrilled with that. I was planning on buying some AT tires in a few...

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    I was quite frustrated because when they took the tire off before winter they made no mention of the patch at all but now when i have all but one tire back on "whoops we cant put this one back on and now you have to buy a new one"

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    i asked them to just put the tire back on and id take it somewhere else that can patch and plug it. they would not do that and i just said screw it, bought the cheapest tire and left. This is Discount tire.

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    i argued with them asking them to just put the tire back on and they wouldn't budge. very annoying but it turns out its quite difficult to drive with only 3 tires. good to hear it's a non issue. If i keep the tahoe for more than a few months which i hope to do, ill buy a full new set anyways

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    new tire is currently on rear, I could move it up to the front and rotate when i find time but not sure when that would be.

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    the tires are the same specs (width, aspect ratio, and diameter) just different tread depths spare tire is a no go as its not the same specs and can go max 50mph

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    what is the reason for over and underinflation? Sorry i should have mentioned the rocky mountain is left rear. Wear is not a concern for me, diff/ other trans damage IS.

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    Differential damage due to tire tread?

    Last week I removed my winter tires to install my summer tires. Unfortunately and to my surprise one of the tires had a patch in it from I assume a small nail. Because it was just a patch and not patch AND plug the tire shop was not able to install it due to liability. They left me with two...

    Transmission issue?

    Previous owner put the new trans in soon before I bought it. I would not have spend $6k on a transmission on a vehicle with 220k. It did make it 220k on original trans and at 252k its still on original engine with no lifter tick so that's a shock.

    Transmission issue?

    I drove with it in 4wd auto and 4hi when we had 7 inches of snow and ice this last month but otherwise almost never shift it out of 2wd. In the past 10k miles I've shifted out of 2wd only 2 times, both in deep snow.

    Transmission issue?

    I have a 2015 Tahoe Lt with 252k miles (Woohoo!). I got a new trans at 223k miles, with more trans work at 243k miles under warranty because dealer screwed something up. Around 243k I noticed a loud metallic scraping noise from around the trans when accelerating. Also there is a noticeable but...

    Ease of 2inch lift strut install/ upper control arms needed?

    car does not have magneride and I prefer to keep it under $4-$500

    Ease of 2inch lift strut install/ upper control arms needed?

    The ride on my 2015 Tahoe is brutal up front. Current struts have between 100k and 250k miles on them. I would like to lift the front 2 inches so its level but not sure how to go about doing so. If I get 2in lift struts, probably rough country, I'm not sure how difficult those will be to install...

    Exhausting my exhaust options

    the ones on summit fit the silverado but not sure if they fit the tahoe as I'm not sure how similar the piping is between the two

    Exhausting my exhaust options

    I may just remove muffler and 3rd cat and see how that is before I buy a new muffler. Also I keep it in M5 so it does not go into 6th and is v8 all the time. So that means that flapper is always open in my case?

    Exhausting my exhaust options

    I'm looking to get more noise out of my 2015 5.3 but not sure exactly what to go with. Straight pipe is too loud and just removing the rear resonator will be too quiet I'm afraid. If I just go with a muffler delete I'd like to do it myself. Which leads me to my next question. Are there any "drop...

    2015 lt 4wd brake upgrade

    do you have specific pads and rotors you recommend? Overwhelmed with options!

    2015 lt 4wd brake upgrade

    so I could get cheap rotors and more premium pads? I prefer to buy the pads and rotors as a package but if it makes sense to get cheaper rotor and nicer pads then ill just buy everything individually as ill probably save money. I know for sure I don't need drilled/slotted rotors as I don't...

    2015 lt 4wd brake upgrade

    i have 20" wheels but don't think i need to upgrade to 6 piston, looking at plain rotors, and will probably get ceramic pads

    2015 lt 4wd brake upgrade

    My current brakes are at about 15% all around so I'll need new ones fairly soon. There is an overwhelming amount of options and I don't know what would be best. I very rarely tow and don't track. I've been looking on rockauto and carID but there are just so many damn options help is needed. I...

    5.3 tahoe muffler delete help

    Yeah I don't love spending that amount on a simple job i can do myself but if it screw it up, cutting or installing, having exhaust through the cabin is less than ideal.
