    Finally got her! ‘22 Tahoe LT - Evergreen Gray

    Ordered Dec 2nd, just told March 26th for my LT diesel. I'm 71 and this will be the first car I ever ordered and waited for... I take that back, I ordered and waited a year for a 84 Porsche 944, one of the first 944's in the state. I hope I have better luck with this one, I was severely...

    New Tahoe Distribution Updates -1/17/21

    This is brutal, never known as the patient type.... I have ordered three vehicles in my 53 years driving, A 75ish Caprice, a 87 S-10 (ran outta patience on both and ended up with something off the lot a week after I ordered). Also ordered the first Porsche 944 in 84 I think, did wait a year...

    2021 Chev Tahoe Z71 Engine Trouble

    Back in those days (first Tahoe 4 door was in 95 BTW) I had at 97, they had a ton of intake manifold gaskets go bad. In fact you could count on it when you hit like 100k... If memory serves, mine made it to 125k and started sipping antifreeze (that's how you found out) Not the end of the...

    2021 Chev Tahoe Z71 Engine Trouble

    Yeah, light rust on rockers, doors and cab corners. All repairable for the next owner. The wheels are the only thing the wife don't like (personally I think they look cool) I told her I would go for a set of OEM Chevy Rally wheels, had them on my 70 Blazer long ago... She don't like them...

    2021 Chev Tahoe Z71 Engine Trouble

    So far not sorry I bought yet another Wrangler, only have a couple hundred miles on it. But every time a new Tahoe goes by, it gets a look, a new Z71 gets me the old buyers remorse feeling ;) That said, I'm blessed at this age, if I feel like it, I'll just get one! That makes it a lot easier...

    2021 Chev Tahoe Z71 Engine Trouble

    FF to today... Life is all about how you handle plan 'B'... After I spent the $$ fixing up my Tahoe, I happened to take a ride in a friends 21 Wrangler Sahara. I have a 97 TJ (my rock crawling toy) and 17 JKU (which my bride has taken over), so now I have a JL Sahara. If I love the JL great...

    2021 Chev Tahoe Z71 Engine Trouble

    Burned Out.... So, I decide for my 70th B-Day, I am going to treat myself to a brand new Tahoe... I've had 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation. They've all been great. For the last 25 years just about all my cars (not just the Tahoes) were formerly rental cars, current year to one year old with some...

    Financing - rate comparisons

    I always paid cash, and for the past 25 years all my cars have been lease/rental cars. The 12 in my avatar was 9 months old with 21,000 miles and was a full $20k under MSRP.. FF to today, retired, and the Tahoe runs between FL and SD, aside from that pulls a 20' trailer with UTV's a couple...

    Order to Delivery Timeframes

    Well 6-9 months was a joke.... I ordered from the dealer near my home in SD where I will be in late April or early May. Just for YAYA's I checked my order detail on Chevrolet.com Friday hoping to see it will get there in May or June... Turns out it's already been shipped, and was last seen in...

    616 miles on the odometer and our new 2021 Tahoe LT won't start!!!! P1029 error code

    Wow... Some thread..... Just ordered last week (Tahoe Z71)..... 6+ Month delivery, maybe they'll have then right by then. Hope so, I will be on the forum a lot. It was a toss up between Tahoe#4 or a Lincoln Aviator which is 6-8 weeks wait...

    2021 Tahoe Z71 - FINALLY

    My last Z71 saved my life.... I passed out from letting my sugar drop, took down two (small) telephone poles and 100' of 6' high chain link fence! I loved everything about that one except that roof rack. It created a lot of wind noise, and it did not have an edge on the sides. If you were to...

    2021 Tahoe Z71 - FINALLY

    Identical (in color) to the one I ordered yesterday... I got a long wait, 6-9 months I was told. Don't matter to me really, it's more a 'Sunday car' to me nowadays. Just buying it because I am impressed with the new technologies, and because I can.

    Order to Delivery Timeframes

    I just ordered a new Z71 yesterday. I ordered it from a dealer here in South Dakota instead of SE Florida where the dealers are waaaay bigger and more plentiful. I'm was wondering if I made a mistake. I did it because the delivery times I have been seeing, brings it to the spring when I...

    3rd row seat removal Premier Edit:deck added

    I am starting to look for my next Tahoe. I like to buy the last year or two of a body style that was a rental with 25k or so (I want some factory warranty). Almost bought a new 16 and walked because I couldn't remove the 3rd row seat. Been thinking of looking close at one to see if this can...

    Seats

    Anybody have photos of the 3rd seat folded. Sure wish I could just remove the dam thing, I really miss that option, I have a spot in the shed that I kept the 97, 04 & the 12 third row seat... I didn't buy a new 18 a couple years ago because of this. I frequently throw 6 or eight 50lb bags of...

    Annoying Steering Noise - Input Shaft Steering Seal

    My 2012 Tahoe sounds exactly the same as 'sabasigh' video in post#6.. Before coming here I went on Youtube and saw a post and video of where the boot meets the shaft at the firewall was the culprit and he fixed it with WD-40. I have some Super Lube (silicone grease) and that's what I'm going...

    Water in the door? !

    Other day I had to leave my 12 Tahoe sitting outside during a long rain storm, like 16 hours worth. Anyway, drove it into town and I'm hearing liquid sloshing around.. WTH is that? I look, can't find anything. Then I actually open the right rear door to see if somehow I'm missing something...

    12 Tahoe 'Service Air Bag' light is on

    Did a search, read on other forums disconnecting battery for 30 minutes might help, might only be temporary fix. Light just came on, no reason that I know of. Anyone have an answer? Thanks!

    What do you tow? How big? How far?

    I am going to tow it around the flat lands of FLorida a few times I think. If I get uncomfortable I'll just have friend I know that's a wholesaler find me something I can do it with before the summer trip, use it for the two month trip and dump it. Get a different one next year. Not the end...

    What do you tow? How big? How far?

    I'm getting a lot of posters on the RV forums telling me my Tahoe can't handle a 21-22' toy hauler. I haven't had the 12 long enough to hook anything behind it but a 6x10 utility trailer with two Harleys on it... Of course it's like the guys on a boating forum I frequent that have 1 ton...

    Where is my RPO sticker? 2012 Tahoe.

    I agree... Was researching the trans coolers. Looks like i can buy the OEM set up from GM parts direct for under $200 http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/catalog/frameset.cfm Might also get B&M's aluminum finned trans pan just for good measure. I pull my boat (4500lb) with about the same tongue...

    Where is my RPO sticker? 2012 Tahoe.

    I feel like a dummy (not unusual). I went out and looked again, this time in the daylight and the sticker is right in the glovebox, it's grey and I just couldn't see it before... Got the info I needed. Thanks guys I got the 3.08 rear, no trans cooler.... 5200 lbs cap.... Was hoping to see...
