    High Pitched Noise from Front

    Hey all, I've been trying to look for threads/posts related to this, but can't seem to find a match. When I first get in the truck for the day and depress the brake pedal to shift into gear, I normally hear a high pitched squeal, before I even shift. The noise sounds like it's right in front of...

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    I was running a steady 196 going down the interstate with no load yesterday afternoon. Outside temp was around 95 and I was cruising at 70. When I'd come to an uphill section and get a downshift, the temp would drop to 194. Not sure what causes that. More fluid being pushed around inside the case?

    Aux Trans Cooler with Fan OPTIONS

    Thanks for the input! I was actually just out running an errand a few minutes ago, not towing. It's about 95 here today. Trans temp was showing 201 in some stop and go conditions. I like the spec's on your rig....

    Aux Trans Cooler with Fan OPTIONS

    I found this thread and I've been thinking about the need to install a trans cooler on my rig. After doing a fluid and filter change about a month ago, I've towed the boat enough times in 85 to 95 degree weather to see that my fluid temps are hovering around 200 and up to 212 when towing. Since...

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    Just wanted to post an update from my general driving and towing experience since changing the fluid. For normal driving, shifts seem smoother. I might be biasing myself to think that, but I honestly believe they feel smoother. Fingers crossed that this continues. I'll likely be draining and...

    Blackout?

    I like it. What did you paint the molding with? Did you also paint the "TAHOE" letters? How did you do your grille?

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    So I changed the fluid, filter, and gasket today. Just changed out what was in the pan, I didn’t flush. Will likely change it again in 20k miles just because that’s how I am. I towed our boat to the lake and back (about 40 miles, lots of hills) on Friday and Saturday (pre fluid change). Watched...

    Door Trim Replaced!

    Wish I'd seen this earlier. It just went out in the trash yesterday. I should have had the foresight to keep it a bit longer. Sorry!

    Blackout?

    I’m not a big fan of chrome, and the LTZ seems to be littered with it, lots may think I’m crazy, but I’d like to see two colors on my truck, white and black. Have others done blackouts on a white rig? I’d love to hear your experiences!

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Yeah, no one had that little tool in stock so I did it the hard way with some ingenuity. Whipped me good and I have the bruises to show for it. The first attempt wound up with the belt on the crank pulley beautifully, but realized it slipped off the ac compressor pulley and pinched between the...

    Tech 2 Purchase

    @George B , if you do, let me know. Either we’ll get ripped off together, or both get a good price! ;)

    Tech 2 Purchase

    10-4, @swathdiver makes a really good case for purchasing one, and I agree. Would love to get one, and that price seems really good.

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Over the weekend I changed the oil, oil filter, serpentine belt, ac belt (this was the worst thing to do, by far), rear air shocks, and rear air suspension compressor. Hoping to get the transmission fluid and filter changed in the next few days. Also order some other goodies: new Husky front...

    Door Trim Replaced!

    Just did this on my lunch break. Super easy. Hardest bit was finding the correct part. GMPartsDirect customer service did a great job helping me make sure I had the correct part number. Installed: Old door trim: Now, does anyone know the part number for the missing trim piece behind the...

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    :rockit:thank you for that input. That's exactly why I'm here. I want some salt of the earth, reality based input from people who geek out on these trucks. I asked the shop for the quote just to get an idea of what that cost would be if something does fail after I change the fluid. Just...

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    So I got in touch with the local service shop. They confirmed they don't have records of a transmission service being performed there. I went ahead and asked them to quote me a Jasper transmission and rear main seal replacement. We'll see what they come back with and I'll let y'all know what I...

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    I have. It has some brownish tint, but still a little pink on a white paper towel. Faint smell of ATF fluid, but not as strong as new. Not sure if that makes sense...

    Towing with 2012 Tahoe LTZ (5.3L)

    That would be the BRZ. Also badged by Toyota as the 86. I always saw it as Toyota collaborating with Subaru for a way to test consumer interest for revival of the Supra. The BRZ is a cool car, and in as much as I can understand, was meant to directly compete with the Miata for entry level hobby...

    Thoughts on changing transmission fluid

    So my “new to me” Tahoe has 221k on the clock. I’m calling the last shop of service recorded on Carfax (213k was the last service back in February - shows as oil change and tire rotation) tomorrow with hopes to get some input on the service history of the vehicle. Records show they’ve done all...
