    Trans went tonight

    Went to work this morning and about 1 mile before my stop the trans acted weird and slipped a little shifting gears. 50 miles each way commute. This afternoon when I left it pretty much gave up the ghost in <10 miles. P0700 and P2723 codes. Wierd metal screeching noise. All forward momentum...

    Rear Seat Rattle - Fix Ideas?

    On washboard roads I’m getting a hellacious metal clatter/rattle from the passenger mid-row seat. Up/Down it makes no difference. Seems to be the floor latches and possibly the hinge joint. Anyone seen anything similar? My 2015 Tahoe sorta did this in Hawaii (horrific roads), but I haven’t...

    Throttle Re-Map 2wd vs Auto/4wd?

    Bought my 2017 in April 2018. It was noticeably peppier and shifted better than the 2015 Tahoe I traded in. After about 1 month I switched it from Auto to 2wd. Summertime. No need for the extra wear/tear. It’s not my daily driver (wife’s) but I’ve noticed all Summer and into Winter that I...

    Bringing a 2001 'Burb back from the Dead

    Paid $300 for a 2001 Suburban LT with 282,000 miles. Runs, drives, and has ice cold AC! Previous guy had parked it due to blown brake line. And at some point he left the moonroof open due to it refusing to shut. So interior got super wet and mold/mildew set in. It looks ugly inside and...

    Picked up a 2001 'Burb

    Paid a whopping $300 for it. Runs, drives, has a blown brake line, and interior is a bit nasty from moonroof left open. Not too terrible on rust either considering the area. Everything seems to work even. I was able to do the moonroof reset and it closed. 282,000 miles and seems strong. Cant...

    Ridiculous OnStar Prices

    Called and setup OnStar in the 2017 Burb I just got. The OnStar module had gone bad, Dealership replaced today. OnStar gave me a "free trial" for 30 days with LTE and 3gb of data. Offerred a 3 month "free trial" if I gave them my CC # so they could start auto-renew. Yeah...NOPE! After 30...

    Upgraded to 2017 Suburban

    Been having issues fighting the Dealership to get our 2015 Tahoe AC Condenser fixed under the Extended Warranty GM offered. They wanted $175 to troubleshoot the leak. They couldn't immediately see obvious leakage. I could repair the problem for less money. And it's a matter of principle, a...

    What does your freon sticker say?

    2015 Tahor 42,0xx miles AC quit working. Lost the charge. I had the recall done to remove refrigerant about 2yrs ago. I believe they are also supposed to check a fitting about mid-body, and replace the sticker under hood. Dealership wants $175 to install dye and find issue. I have the...

    Dead Battery Already?

    This month is the 2yr anniversary of owning my 2015 Tahoe. Today I had the pleasure of replacing the damn battery. I had to jump the battery 1 week ago in Dallas, but I'd been loading the car with doors open and whatnot for 30 minutes...so thought it was a fluke. After maybe 15 minutes today...

    Will 33's fit without a leveling kit?

    The factory 265/65R18 tires are 31.5" tall. I am looking at upsizing to 275/70R18, which is 33.1" tall. There looks to be a ton of room under there. Can I upsize without installing a leveling kit? A 1.5" leveling kit is in shipment to me, but the tire shop has a killer deal right now that I...

    Interior Light Flashing All the time

    Bought in June 2014. No real issues to speak of until August 2015. Now the damn interior lights flash incessantly whenever the vehicle is running. They start flashing within the first 30 seconds of starting the rig, then flash at least once every minute. Yes, I timed the damn thing...
