    Oil recommendation after DOD delete

    Why not go with 0W-40 that GM is now saying needs to be used in the newer 21+ engines? After my warranty ran out I used 5W-30 for a few years then this year switched to 0W-40 and have the best oil pressure I’ve ever had…and it’s more consistent too….doesn’t fluctuate as much especially at a...

    Converting my Air Ride to Regular Suspension?

    You might look into Arnott shocks/struts - for my 16 Denali XL they make passive replacements (with built in resistors to fool the system) which gets rid of the magneride yet keeps the self leveling air system in the rear. I went with these all the way around and couldn’t be happier! I swear...

    New oil change price at dealer!

    Is that the new weight requirement (0W-40) oil?? Around here, and a lot of places online, finding 0W-40 full synthetic in stock is becoming a challenge due to this issue. Personally I run the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40 but can only find it on Amazon….when it’s in stock and the price isn’t...

    Help with AC

    My first thought is you may have a clogged expansion valve….if your compressor is engaging and low side pressure goes up WAY to high..with relatively no high side pressure change. Or a plugged condenser.

    Tuning other than black bear.

    I have a Diablo Intune I3 Platinum for my 16 Denali XL and could not be happier. Diablew also has options for custom tuning as well - similar to the black bear method. The Intune I3 has some custom tuning ability that I love playing around with - it’s amazing the affect some parameters have...

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    Yes the rear passive shocks have air - so they retain the ride height adjustment same as factory. And the passive Arnott’s have a resistor built in with a factory style wire harness that bypasses the magnaride all the way around - so they are plug and play! Best upgrade/repair I’ve made to my...

    Arnott AS-3429 Failure

    How in the world can that happen!!?…the threads on the shaft tips don’t look damaged from what I can tell…so unless there was a lot of rotation of the base during install for some reason idk how that could even happen….

    Arnott MR4262 for replacing front Magneride Z95 suspension info

    I replaced the struts and rear shocks with passive Arnott’s all the way around a year and a half ago (37K miles on them now) and they are holding up great and truck rides better than it ever did new! The front Arnott struts do have larger springs than OEM…especially on the XL version from what...

    At 125K miles the struts gave up on my 2018 Yukon Denali

    At 140K miles my front struts locked up SOLID on my 2016 Denali XL. Replaced both front struts and rear air shocks with passive Arnott’s (to remove the auto ride) and could not believe the improved ride! I swear it now rides better than it ever did since I bought it brand new! Now at 177K and...

    What are the best AFM delete tune/plug in devices?

    On my 16 Denali XL I used a Range AFM disabler from day one until the warranty ran out…then sold it and bought a Diablo Intune I3 to disable the AFM and tweak the ECM & TCM tunes - couldn’t be more happy! With the 89 octane tune with tweaked throttle response (maxed at 20%) and firm shift tune...

    Larger tires on 2025 AT4 Ultimate

    If you go to https://www.customwheeloffset.com and put in your vehicle or search their site for fitment….but better yet you can see their ‘customer builds’ where people have installed oversized wheels/tires and submitted pictures along with details of any suspension mods / thrumming needed if...

    OIL PSI / BRAND / WEIGHT

    Before trying any ‘home brew’ flush or additive to the oil I would use the new Valvoline Restore & Protect oil for 3-4 oil changes. Do some investigating, but it’s got a ton of real world results cleaning up the internals of the engine…and I’m on my 4th oil change with it and the engine seems...

    Transmission Cooler Line Popped Out/Update

    I’m betting a trans cooler port in the radiator still had a plastic cover or plug in the new radiator that wasn’t removed….which could be why your line popped off as well….it built up pressure and blew off. My first thought would be to check trans cooler fittings and make sure there is no...

    Help with Rims (No more 24s)

    I have a 16 Denali XL that came with factory 22’s and I hung on to them until the 100K mile mark and then switched them out for a set of 20’s w 275/60/20’s and the improvement in ride was unbelievable!! I’d go as far as to say the increased sidewall was more of an improvement than when I...

    New Arnott magrides are very stiff/bouncy

    I installed the same struts last fall and love the ride….and they have seemed to get ‘softer’ the more miles I put on them. Immediately after the install my front was raised as well…almost leveled the front with the rear. It took a few thousand miles but the springs eventually ‘settled’ and...

    Shocks for a plusher ride?

    I recently put passive Arnott struts and shocks all the way around my 16 Denali XL…the original front struts had locked up….the Arnotts are INCREDIBLE in terms of ride and seem to get better as they get a few more miles on them (likely the springs setting in). I highly recommend the Arnotts to...

    2021 6.2 Tahoe eats oil like crazy - is this truck getting lifter issues soon?

    I had a similar situation on my 16 Denali XL with the 6.2….one oil change at just over 100K miles I tried some Amsoil Signature Series 0W-20 and after about 1,200 miles I got the low oil warning. Never before had I got this warning and it concerned me. I topped it off - took about 2.5qts...

    Automatic headlights - Sensor adjustment?

    Mine does the exact same thing….has since day 1 when I bought it new. I guess I’m just used to it…and it doesn’t bother me..

    AFM/DOD Questions

    For your original issue…it could be several things…with that many miles the very first thing I would do is clean your throttle body. I cleaned mine at 140K miles and I could not believe the improvement it made!…smoothed out the idle and a slight stumble off idle. Many videos on YouTube...

    SOLD - Range Technology -AFM Disabler

    RANGE Technology AFM Disabler - plugs into OBD port - Chevy/GMC. SOLD. I bought this new a few years ago for my Denali. Works great! I sent it in to RANGE Technology for a ‘update’ early last year (but I believe they just switched mine out with a newer/updated one). I’ve since bought a...

    Vacuum Pump Delete - Great New Option

    I finally got around to installing this part today and got rid of the vacuum pump. Brakes (brake booster) seems to work a bit better with the vacuum source switched to manifold vacuum.

    2023 Tahoe Induction/Carbon buildup service at 15k miles?

    As people have mentioned…you can do it yourself for minimal expense using one of the GDI cleaners. I would do that then HIGHLY recommend installing a catch can- especially at your low mileage. This will help a lot down the road to minimize carbon buildup on the valves etc.

    Vacuum Pump Delete - Great New Option

    I ran across this recently while searching for options for a vacuum source when deleting the vacuum pump and thought I’d share. Pretty good idea/product - allows you to keep your catch can vacuum port without adding a TB spacer tapped with a port… Video: Product now available...

    Tips and tricks to have a nice ride.

    Finally bought an Airaid spacer!…have the fitting and tap ready…..one last question if you don’t mind…where on the spacer did you drill/tap for the hose fitting? On the right side as your looking at it?

    Tips and tricks to have a nice ride.

    PERFECT! Thanks so much! One other question….i know the hose would be a 3/8” ID vacuum rated hose…so the male end for the hose would be 3/8…what size did you tap the spacer for? 1/8 NPT or 1/4 NPT? I guess either would work assuming the spacer is thick enough to allow it…but is a 1/8” NPT...
