    Rear end died

    Well Alstate it comes to find out only warranties the body shop part of repairs. The do not warranty any mechanical repairs which is flat out BS since the shop was not allowed to buy a new axle they had to get a used one from a junk yard. If you aren't going to warranty then they should use...

    Rear end died

    They are already claiming I chose the shop... I said I don't remember. I said why would I choose a chevy dealer 20 minutes away when there is one much closer. I am sure they won't pay for it. The only shop I remember they first told me to use didn't have any ability to change the axle so it...

    I have called them and am waiting on a call back, I am sure they will try to weasel out of this somehow.

    Rear end died

    I pulled the cover off and it looks like one of the carrier bolts either broke or just came out and the gears are chewed up and the actual differential is broke too. It was involved in a wreck in like 2014 and the axle was replaced so who knows how many miles are actually on the axle it could...

    Shifter cable bushing gone. New one or zip tie?

    Mine came off in my 2010 first time it has ever not made it home, 274,000 miles not too bad. I went to O'Reilly and got the bushing kit then found a C-clip to help hold it but the C-clip won't hold it if the busing fail it isn't big enough diameter. So will see how long the O'reilly "help"...

    Momentary Grinding noise after startup

    Yep as I stated from the first post I won't be wasting my time until it fails or I know what it is. Last time I took it for warranty work I think it sat for 3 days before they even got to it.

    Momentary Grinding noise after startup

    It doesn't do it every start. I started it yesterday with video recording and it didn't do it.

    Momentary Grinding noise after startup

    How many miles did your front brakes go before changing? Mine went 250K

    Yes it gets a lot of highway but not 100% and my wife is stuck in traffic in it daily.

    How many miles did your front brakes go before changing? Mine went 250K

    Nope and I am not even easy on brakes. I have 40k miles on the pads on my Gallardo and that includes some track days.

    How many miles did your front brakes go before changing? Mine went 250K

    And they still had pad left I need to get the rotors turned due to pulsation so went ahead and changed the pads. Rear I have replaced 2 times already but they are the Autozone lifetime warranty pads so only paid once.

    The financial benefits of maintaining our own cars

    I do everything myself unless I absolutely cannot and that is only stuff that requires a special computer to diagnose. On my 2010 Tahoe I have changed the torque convert and rebuilt the tranny, replace the water pump and radiator too. Shocks needed be changed one time and the front brakes I...

    4x4 Beach Driving

    Well if I am not afraid to take this to the beach (and I removed the AWD system) you will be just fine. Just don't go in the really soft sand. The worst stucks I have seen at the beach are when people park too close and the tide came in. One day it took 3 trucks to pull out a suv stuck after...

    Torque Converter Shudder...Best Course of Action?

    When I rebuilt my 6L80 I used one of the Sonnax Zip Kits it had a lot of good pieces that address common issues of the valves.

    2022 RST TAHOE missing Bose Subwoofer?

    Mine has the 9 speaker system and the bass is decent for factory, I don't even think to upgrade it. I did add a sub in my 2010 though, the factory bose was almost nothing for bass.

    Stumble at part throttle, no codes: It's the torque converter

    And mine is 4 wheel drive so that extra stuff too, the rebuild wasn't too bad to do it was my first time rebuilding an automatic so I was probably a little slow. I pulled it in the garage on Friday and was done by Monday. I bought a Cadilac CTS with a tranny leak, I towed it to my buddies shop...

    Stumble at part throttle, no codes: It's the torque converter

    I am currently building a house and will have a lift when move but when I did mine I had to do it in the garage on jack stands in September in Texas so yes it was pretty miserable to do.

    Stumble at part throttle, no codes: It's the torque converter

    My torque converter did the same thing. I was on a trip and drove it the 5 hour drive back home. Mine spit so much metal into the tranny that the tranny would not stay engaged at idle. While I ordered parts I had to change my idle speed to like 800 rpm so the transmission wouldn't violently...

    Anyone else had their engine hours reset randomly?

    Yes, I don't know when it reset and I don't even think HP tuners can reset this.

    Thump clunk rear end

    I thought at first my rear end was clunking but then realized it was the motor mount gone and the clunk was just the engine moving.

    Anyone else had their engine hours reset randomly?

    I have reprogrammed mine many times with HP tuners but it seems to have only reset the one time.

    Transmission Cooler Mount Options in a Tahoe

    I have a 2010 with the 5.3 and I thought they all came with the 6L80 that year. Mine has the towing package though so has the oil, trans and power steering coolers.
