    Shell V-Power NiTRO+ vs Costco 91 — what do you run in your 6.2L V8?

    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?

    Rear control arm hit the curb

    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

    Rear control arm hit the curb

    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?

    Rear control arm hit the curb

    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?

    Rear control arm hit the curb

    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?

    Rear control arm hit the curb

    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...

    If the 2025/2026 model have auto stop button on the left side to turn off the feature, why would I need to install the autostopeliminator?

    Applying for GM credit card to pay deposit or car downpayment

    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

    Applying for GM credit card to pay deposit or car downpayment

    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...

    Any recently ACCEPTED orders by GM?

    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.

    Supercruise is worth it in 2025?

    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?

    Custom z71 with 6.2 or High Country?

    - 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...

    Buying 6.2 engine vs 5.3

    I really have to drive far to find diesel, so that's what’s stopping me from buying a diesel engine. The Costco near me doesn’t even sell diesel. :D
