    Had another lifter collapse at 281K, Now running it as a 6 cylinder

    I am waiting for my slow ass house to be finished to change out the cam. I had one lifter fail at 278k so I swapped out the failed lifter but was left with a tick since the cam must be damaged. I drove it a little as a 7cyl then just put the rocker arms back on and said screw it drive until...

    Had a lifter collapse at 278k miles

    So I pulled off the head and replaced it... either the crappy lifter I put in is bad too or the cam has an issue. It is still ticking, not like when with the collapsed lifter but it is ticking. I pulled the rocker off of that lifer and confirmed it is the one I replaced, cylinder 6. I am less...

    Still can't get Adaptive Cruise on Z71 in 2023 but you can on a work truck..

    Since I sold my 2021 Z71 I have been looking at something else to get. I was looking at regular cab, regular bed work trucks since I like the short length trucks. I was building it and adaptive cruise is an option $750. I don't know what constraints currently if you can really get it but it...

    Traded in my 2021 Z71

    I paid $63,675 for it in Dec 2020 and I got $64,000 on the trade in, it had 24K miles. I got a new Malibu for my wife since she drives 26 miles each way to work I didn't want her just running up the miles and using a bunch of gas and damaging it..... No more car payments for the time being...

    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...

    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.

    Anyone else had their engine hours reset randomly?

    Sometime years ago the hours just reset to zero on my 2010 Tahoe. Currently it shows 3120.8 hours and that is at 270860 miles... No I haven't averaged 86MPH for the life of it. Weird that it hasn't reset again just the 1 time.

    270K miles radiator cracked

    I replaced the water pump a few months ago for a slow leak and being noisy. Today replaced the radiator which wasn't too bad of a job. A few days ago I noticed that the water was getting low and could smell coolant faintly so I replaced the cap since the o-Ring was completely hard and flat. LOL...

    So my 2010 has been clunking for years due to the drivers side motor mount being broken. So finally yesterday I jacked up the engine and got some of the faster drying JB Weld and the mixing attachment and squirted a bunch into the motor mount in the broken area and set it back down. Today no...

    Anyone replaced one of the front parking sensors?

    One of mine must have gotten a direct rock hit and no longer works so none of the front parking sensors work now. Dealer said it was damage so not a free fix.

    The auto stop didn't activate at all today.

    Not that I am complaining because it didn't activate but might be a sign of another issue. I went out for lunch to get some food about 10 minutes away, fully warmed up and the a/c was off had the window down so usually it shuts off for a long time in this case, never shut down. Same thing...

    What makes the parking brake disable itself upon putting in gear?

    When I park in my driveway that has a slight incline the parking brake automatically engages. Sometimes when I go to back out of the driveway it disengages as soon as switch out of park but not all the time. Why does the parking brake sometimes disengage automatically and other times doesn't?

    A/C takes a long time to work some starts

    Twice in the last week when I started mine up the air is blowing out of the vents but definitely not cooling at all for like 30-45 seconds it is clearly just ambient air no cooling. Both times is was around 80 degrees outside. I had a friend complain in the back seat that it was blowing hot...

    Lift system (air suspension) acting funny

    Mine sometimes now after being shut off it will lower 2 times about 5 seconds apart. I do not have it set to auto lower when stopped and it was not raised either it was in the normal position so it shouldn't have moved anyway. Anyone else getting some funny behavior?

    Slight shuttering on acceleration

    Mine when at part throttle you can feel a slight hesitation of and on at first I though it had to do with the cylinder deactivation but it should be in V8 mode when this is happen, like when getting on the highway it just kind of pulsates ever so slightly. It is annoying, don't think my wife...

    Well found out that the 2021 will only idle for 30 minutes and then shuts off

    I was in my tahoe at an event Monday and need to do a meeting in it on the computer and it was warm so had it on running the AC. It gives a warming about shutting off in 5 minutes on down but I don't know how to defeat it. Press ok didn't stop it from shutting off. Anyone know how to extend...

    2021 Z71 air suspension error

    Mine kept flashing "service leveling system" in the dash and the lift system was inoperable. Took it to the dealer and they downloaded some instructions and pulled a few fuses to reset it. That has been 2500 miles ago and it hasn't returned but they didn't actually fix anything so will see...
