    Manual vs dealership maintenance schedule

    My 2015 just went past 100k and dealer wants to change everything. Some of this stuff, per the manual, I should have done 10k miles ago but I didn't see any mention of how often power steering fluid should be changed. Also internet search says coolant every 30-35k miles while manual says 150k...

    Cost of used Tahoes

    Definitely not mass transit, there are only a few cities in the states where mass transit is even reliably feasible to get around, the very large majority are in personal vehicle bound living areas. I've got a gaming friend who's dad owns a bunch of toyota/GM owned brand dealerships in the...

    Help with a "NO GPS" in 2015 Tahoe Nav

    I know its 2020 and everyone uses Carplay for nav, but we go hiking in mountains frequently where there is no cell reception so I regularly would use the built in nav. There are a few threads on this already, everyone saying the sharkfin is the most common. I followed this video after buying...

    Picked up a z71...

    Aren't you in the largest negative equity phase for any vehicle right now? Don't get my wrong, I'll upgrade my Tahoe when I can, but equity is the last thing I'm thinking of for a new car lol

    The cargo net mounting points seem kinda low to me, is there a way or mod that could tie into the cargo area cover recess? I mostly want to keep a dog from jumping out without having to bring her crate everytime

    Ridiculous OnStar Prices

    I actually switched to this for the family plan perks. $99/year for everyone in family to have all products and (most importantly) 1 TB of storage each. Peace of mind just to have all of their files backed up and not have to deal with worrying about it. Compared with dropbox, google, or...

    Pet divider for two dogs?

    Has anyone seen something like this https://www.travall.com/en-us/travall-divider for a 2015 Tahoe? Most dividers just have the cargo area and seats divided, I was looking for something for two dogs that keeps seats and cargo divided as well as cargo divided in half

    Are there any aftermarket "side lighting" options for dark turns?

    We've moved to Asheville and do a few day hikes out in the mountains. Since the time change it gets dark damn fast and I noticed how hard it is to see turning on these sharp winding paths (dirt/gravel) Has anyone ever seen or heard of this kind of mod for Tahoes? My tahoe does have fog...

    Noise that matches roadspeed: tires, diff, bearing?

    Thanks guys, 2 of you saying it sounds off was enough to schedule a service visit tomorrow! No vibrations. 35psi cold, goes up to 39psi on highway. I'm not sure how many miles were on the tires when I bought it (used dealer didnt know). Here are some pictures as well as a report from Chevy...

    Noise that matches roadspeed: tires, diff, bearing?

    We bought this 2015 used, mostly for road trips or if we need to tow a horse (havent yet). I went on vacation for 2 weeks and now I'm not sure if it always sounded like this and I'm just used to the rental car or this is some kinda "problem" The video was recorded in 2WD. I tried switching to...

    Preowned Purchase...2015 Chevy Taho LTZ vs 2015 Yukon Denali?

    Both tow around 8,400. 385 vs GMC's 460 lb-ft torque, GMC 0-60 a second faster That said, being in a similar position as you buying a 15 recently I went Tahoe b/c it was "good enough" and I am not a fan of the frontend/headlight look of the GMC. Just looks goofy to me for some reason... I...

    Snow Driving

    This was my first year in the snow with the Tahoe. Previous vehicles Mustang, Escape, Fusion (well still Fusion) (and sorry, wife's dad works for Ford.. but I hate the Expedition looks and risked war buying Chevy) basically nothing this high up from the ground Anywho, we were in that big storm...

    Has anyone had trouble with power liftgate closing on its own?

    Well apparently the plastic sleeve surrounding the piston was completely broken and only option was to replace. It was a 2min job at dealer and they didn't charge any labor.

    Has anyone had trouble with power liftgate closing on its own?

    No ice up there. Sat in garage last night and nothing left sitting on the roof or in the jamb this morning. Still same symptoms It closes just fine, the problem is it wont stay open :) And yes I disabled the power lift. Watching it a few more times in daylight I think the problem is this...

    Has anyone had trouble with power liftgate closing on its own?

    Just got to a hotel on a road trip and the lift gate seems to be "hitting" something and closing after it reaches the max height. I've also tried it in 3/4 mode and same effect Here is a video https://www.dropbox.com/s/fazb9ldbb4dsget/2016-11-19%2022.10.39.mov?dl=0 you can kinda hear the clunk...

    Am I too young to be driving a Tahoe?

    It's only a "mom car" if your mom (parents) helped you buy it as the majority of 18yo's in America would not be able to afford 65k or be approved for a loan (well maybe some predatory lending) As long as you pay yourself first (retirement/appreciating assets) you can spend your money however...

    Exterior Front Door Upper Trim falling off...

    barrett, I'm having the same issue and looking to repair on my own. Mine are coming off at the top and still feel pretty secure on the bottom Was there any trick to fully removing the panels or just a matter of slowly pulling away and removing the tape that is left on them?

    Fine grained VIN decoder?

    Hey everyone, I'm _finally_ going to buy a Tahoe. I almost bought a previous generation but found out about the new models and decided to wait till about now to buy a used 2015. I'm wondering if there is a "fine grained" VIN decoder somewhere. Something that could tell you what...

    Heavily pitted stock wheels -> refinished, how bad?

    Hey guys, I've got my eyes on a used tahoe and the dealer said when they got the truck the wheels were heavily pitted. They brought in a refinisher and now they look like this attached image (or bigger http://1drv.ms/1Q6x5H6) . This car is out of state and I havent made the trip in person...
