    Rust repair

    No, the problem is its rusting from behind. If you're going to do it yourself get one of these to get the rust and paint. Get rust converter of some sort to try to get inside the holes that will be there then do the usual filler, primer paint etc and hopefully it lasts a little while before...

    Towing Capacity - 2016 SLE with V-5 Receiver

    That's why it says on that sticker "Tow vehicle maximum trailer rating may be less" At least it's the proper size hitch. They used to come with ones that were rated less then the max tow rating.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    There's been number of people here who've had bad 6.2s. It would be interesting to know but probably hard to tell now since they've been replaced how how many of those engines fall within GMs window.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    It doesn't work that way. At the very least when it comes to brands the dealer represents they can't pick and choose what they work on for recalls. If GM is putting people in a loaner vehicle thats on them and they should be reimbursing the dealer in some way for that. Chances are they'd be...

    First of many 2007 Tahoe questions

    Some have it some don't, depends on options. Get it from a junk yard, even if they're still available new it'll be a fraction of the price.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    It is a bandaid. You shouldn't have to do anything special and baby it to make it last. Why even bother owning a 6.2 one at that point.

    4-low lock-out?

    Jobber isn't a term used around here to describe those parts but yeah for that price no point in using anything else.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    I can understand dealers not wanting to take them but GM should do something about that. You sell people a vehicle at such high prices with a ticking time bomb engine that stops in traffic, there are reports here and other places how it can take months to get the engine replaced and some have...

    What do you guys think my Tahoe is worth?

    In a lot of cases mods and add one brings down value unless you find a buyer who's looking at doing the same ones so you're probably better off keeping it and enjoying it unless you want it gone.

    Oil weight for 5.3? 0-20 no good?

    I'm guessing that's probably also close to the ratio of the number of trucks with the different engines since most purchasers wouldn't pay more for the bigger engine and if they needed more they'd go diesel.

    Oil weight for 5.3? 0-20 no good?

    2014 was 11 years ago it shouldn't be that hard to find work trucks or even regular drivers with 200k+ on them. I think there are some members floating around the forum who posted mileage up there in some of the reliability anf mileage posts.

    Scan Tool

    For that age a snap on MT2500 with the proper OBDI cartridge is the best scanner to get. You can find them for pretty decent prices because they're obsolete to anyone who wrenches professionally.

    4-low lock-out?

    Get the used switch. No reason to pay a lot for a switch especially for an X police vehicle where not much else will be like new.

    2020 Rust problems (How to fix and what can be replaced)

    Where are you located? If a winter rust area find a place that does oil spray rust proofing, not the hard no drip stuff. That'll pretty much stop it. Doubtful GM will do anything to fix it. You could sand it off yourself and put black rustoleum over it.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    That there are engines before and after the range of ones in the recall that are still running 0W-20 shows that there is an issue with parts like GM stated. The thicker oil is more the cheapest thing they could do to delay the inevitable. If I had one of of those engines I'd want it fixed not a...

    22" chrome wheel leaks

    That's good to hear!

    Oil weight for 5.3? 0-20 no good?

    0W-20 has been the specified oil since around 2013 and the 5.3 hasn't had the problems the later 6.2 has so you'd be safe continuing with that weight. Sure it's a CAFE thing but at the same time all those other gimmicky fuel mileage things built in to newer engines make them pickier about...

    1999 Gmc Yukon Electric help

    It's probably all related. You still need to to check that circuit and see what alls on it as a start to figuring it out.

    1999 5.7 Vortec problem

    Ate you sure the oil level wasn't high before? That's a lot of gas to get past the rings in such a short amount of time.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Like I said in an earlier post it seems like the different oil is a band aid solution to get them past warranty. It's the same trick that's been used forever running thicker oil in older worn out engines to try to keep them going longer only in this case they aren't old.

    Will All terrain Tires fix my issue? Pls advise

    Are three brake hoses new and calipers in good shape? Nothing drags? Did they try changing the wheels around to different positions. I had a right side pull problem once on one of my vehicles that a couple places couldn't fix. I mentioned it to a different shop and he checked it adjusted it for...
