Both fuels are TOP TIER gas, but my buddy who owns a 6.2L V8 tells me I should stick with Shell, saying there’s a noticeable difference in performance and mileage when using Shell gas.
What does everyone here run in their 6.2L V8 engines?
Update:
Got the oil change done at dealer and asked them to check alignment for the rear without telling them about what has happened, this is the report I got from them
For the scrape I went ahead and applied AMSOIL Heavy-Duty Metal Protector
Excellent point. It would be bad if just painting a rear control arm is going to show up on the carfax report. I will check with dealer and act accordingly
I own a 2026 Tahoe and am new to owning a Chevy or truck-based SUV. In the past, I’ve always owned Japanese vehicles and took them to independent service shops.
Any leads on good, reliable Chevy service shops in the SF Bay Area?
Thanks all.
I will schedule wheel alignment check. This is indeed new truck and has 3000 miles. If I am taking the truck to dealer for alignment why not have them fix the scrape for rust as well? Thoughts?
While I do wheel alignment, should I also get oil changed?
Ok first time owning a truck-based SUV. All this terms are too much for me to digest in one go :)
I will go research all the options provided here and give DIY approach a try.
Is wheel alignment going to be an issue? Should I get alignment check or is that bit too much?
Had an unfortunate situation where I hit a curb in a parking lot while making a right turn. I ran over the curb, and the rear control arm got scratched a bit.
What kind of rust-preventive paint should I use? I did the hands-off test and it seems like the alignment is okay. Is there anything...
My order is being built this week and current build code is 3400
Per this reddit thread, 3400 is Broadcast: At this point, parts are being pulled for your car prior to the start of production. A TPW and partial VIN should be available now.
10x points when you use GM card for GM related purchases, that alone makes it better than 2% credit card. I can probably just use GM card just for oil changes and services
I noticed the GM credit card is running a 30K points promotion (roughly worth $300, since each point is about 1 cent).
I’m considering putting part of my Tahoe down payment on the GM card and paying the rest by check, so I can earn the bonus points. My thought is that I could later use those...
The dealer only said that when they are about to place the order on July 17th, they will work with me on the packages.
According to the information shared by GM Area Sales Manager to the dealer, there is no difference between the 2025 and 2026 models.
Dealer is telling me they have some or other constraint for new Tahoe builds and that they have not been getting allotments in the past few months
Looking for z71, with 6.2. Anyone recently got their accepted for 6.2 and 2025 year model?
Looking to buy a Tahoe in 2025. I’m currently leaning toward the Z71, but it doesn’t come with Super Cruise. If Super Cruise has significantly improved in 2025, I might consider a trim that offers it.
Any Super Cruise users who can share their experience using it?
- Ok to skip cooled seats, if I have remote climate control option, I can turn on and wait for it to cool down and enter the vehicle
- z71 does have 360 camera option for parking assist
- Willing to skip power running boards
- 20 inch on z71 are better ride versus 22 inch rims due to more tire...
Currently looking at z71 with following sticker, what am I missing if I buy this z71 versus High Country? Really like Cypress grey which is not available in the HC trim
Everyone of you is telling what the issues are with 6.2 and 5.3 engines. But what I am looking for, is considering all the issues and information at hand. What is best one to buy?
My driving habits will be to use this new vehicle mostly for road trips with 2 toddlers. Not much of towing needs...
