Sitting at close to 217,000 miles now. The new transmission is performing really well. Picked up a new toy to put in the garage as well so now the older Tesla and Tahoe get to sit outside.
Just about finished wrapping up a 4,000 mile roadtrip from Houston to Charlotte to Washington DC to NYC and back. Trip was over 12 days. The Tahoe really got used with two kids, two dogs, wife, and lots of luggage. I bought a Thule XL Force basket to carry all of the luggage. It worked really...
I just had mine rebuilt by Kyle’s Transmission in Houston about a month ago. 5 year/100,000 mile warranty. Kyle is outstanding and I couldn’t be happier with my 6L80E rebuild. Their address is 9112 Spring Branch Dr #1. If you go with him, tell him the Homicide guy with the PPV recommended him...
So a quick update. The car was ready at 9am the evening after I dropped it off. That’s wild. The car transmission is a 10/10. I literally cannot feel the shifts at all. It is that smooth. If this is how these tahoes drive when new then I’m blown away.
For those in my position, I HIGHLY...
So I ended up posting the car for sale on Facebook Marketplace since I could not find any feasible solutions. All the shops seemed shady and charged an arm and a leg to rebuild or replace.
Luckily for me, someone recognized the car from the forum here on Facebook marketplace. That person...
Well at 207,500 miles the OEM transmission decided to destroy itself. Luckily the car was able to be driven all the way from Baton Rouge to Houston. I was able to pull the codes and pull the transmission pan. Carnage pics are attached:
Hello all, hoping someone can help me with a transmission issue.
A few days ago I had driven my 2010 PPV Tahoe about 300 miles on the freeway without issue. Upon almost arriving to my destination, I was turning and heard what sounded like a grind from the transmission. I felt a small jerk when...
Small update. I had a P2138 code pop up at around 204,000 miles. I cleaned out my throttle body with cleaner and replaced my accelerator pedal and sensor with a brand new one from Oreilly. That fixed the code and all has been well. I also replaced my air filter and was surprised by how clean the...
Took a long roadtrip to Charlotte from Houston and back for my twin brothers graduation from UNC School of Business (executive MBA).As usual, the car ran PERFECTLY. The jump seat came handy as at one point I had 8 people in the car at the same time. Sitting at 202,300 miles. I also decided to...
As an update, I added a new Ac Delco serpentine belt and did a tire rotation. Added a car cover while the car sits parked a lot and is mainly driven on long roadtrips.
Hey these are the headlights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08ZCBCJXY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
These are the tail lights: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08B8DG88Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I’ve had both for about a year and there have been no issues.
At 197,302 miles, I decided to take a trip with the wife to Fredericksburg Tx and to Byrds Adventures in the Ozark Mountains for fun. Noticed that at medium acceleration from a stop I’d hear a thump. Upon closer inspection, I realized my drivers side motor mount was shot (it didn’t even have the...
I had let my mom drive my car while I was detailing her new one and she managed to somehow crack the mirror. Ordered a new one from Amazon and am so far pretty impressed with the quality. Luckily the turn signal mirror cap did not get damaged.
