    Cost for motor mount install on 2017 5.3L ???

    UPDATE - replaced just the driver's side mount and the truck drives much better I didn't know the excess vibration from the one bad mount could make the computer try to compensate and do weird shit to my ride/throttle response! Oil filled mount is definitely mot my choice if i had a serious...

    My turn to need motor mount replacement (again)

    I was quoted $650 for drivers side, 4x4 Tahoe LT, 2017 Sounds reasonable now lol should I ask them to use the Hummer mount, is it more heavy duty than stock Tahoe mount? this is a 5.3 L truck

    Cost for motor mount install on 2017 5.3L ???

    87k miles right now I’m wondering if it’s a waste to do the passenger side as I use reverse to back out of my driveway and never really under stress no towing etc Driver’s side makes sense due to the twist direction of the engine but passenger side is never really stressed Truck has been on...

    Cost for motor mount install on 2017 5.3L ???

    Found my "thud" when taking off from dead stop, it's the driver's side motor mount Appreciate ANY and ALL replies, give me your opinions please! Two questions: Should I do both or is that a waste until the other goes bad? (quote for one is 50% so it's not saving money to do both at the same...

    Help! Two weird noises 2017 Tahoe LT 4x4 5.3L

    Ok guys help me figure out two noises, before I take this to the shop On takeoff from a dead stop, after the truck has fully "settled" after stopping, there's a light "thud" from the rear, that is barely noticeable, but definitely there, maybe a u-joint? Then on right turn there is a pop...

    Noise when turning right? 2017 LT

    Popping noise when turning, it's intermittent - sounds like someone is tapping my muffler, not a clunk? Or something just slightly shifting around when I turn hard right, has to be on a roll, not from a dead stop. Any ideas?

    Best bang for the buck upgrades.... New to Chevy...

    Buy an AFM disabler on Amazon, 79 bucks and it is plug and play - just remove if you go in for service. Best $$$ I've spent this year, and install is fast, just plug in your port.

    $79 bucks for an AFM disabler = drive better AND better gas mileage?

    I went the cheaper route and got the AFM disabler on amazon (not a tune, just plug and play) Wish I had done it sooner, truck stopped hunting for the right gears/RPM , and my highway mileage went up (?) This mod plus using E85 has got me enjoying this truck all over again :)

    Tahoe camper tent for liftgate?

    Posting here because it will save me a LOT of time and aggravation if someone already knows where to get one. Is there a tent/screen that attaches to our lift gates? I think I've seen them somewhere, and perfect for my day trips - where can I get one, and how much $$$? Appreciate any...

    2015 tahoe a/c

    All technical stuff aside - I'm in Tampa Bay, and it's about as hot and humid as it gets pretty much anywhere in the country in July. I've had my Tahoe in the shop twice now, after being disappointed with AC blowing not-so-cold, and me trying to keep the revs up, and thinking that at idle or...

    Slight roughness at idle -2017 5.3L

    Very slight roughness at idle, just noticeable. Running E85 but it was there on regular 87 octane as well, no ticks or noises, so I'm thinking O2 sensor or something fuel related. Once off idle - runs perfect, zero complaints. Any idea what might be the issue?

    E85 - the EASY way to convert your 5.3L to a 6.2L !

    Holy hell, I haven't run E85 since buying my truck, it absolutely rips! I put in 1/2 tank after I heard some mild detonation when passing someone in 96 degree weather, running 87 octane BJ's wholesale Club gas Now the Wife is getting sick of me saying "R*ped ape" Any downside, besides the...

    2015 Tahoe/Grinding/rough noise from front of vehicle

    I had the same issue, tried for 6 months to figure it out. Ended up being the hub on driver's side. Try some long sweeping left and right turns - like highway entrance/exit ramps, if the noise goes away or changes, it's the hub My noise would go away on long sweeping left turns, when the...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    What type of repairs over the years and current mileage? Just curious what I should expect, I have a 2017 5.3L, 4x4, pretty much never tow or go off road - road trip highway truck, occasional dirt road, rarely though. I change the oil relentlessly, and all fluids and factory service done...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    I remember when I sold used(up) cars back in the early 90's , the Lexus we had on the lot would have 150k ++ miles and still felt great. Meanwhile the Caddy's were ready for the junkyard. But that is old GM quality. My 2017 Tahoe is miles ahead of the old GM 80's and 90's quality, and the...

    Agree on the FJ, and those things have a cult following too. Very rugged looking trucks!

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    Looking at old/previous generation Sequoias on the road around me now, I remember why I went for the Tahoe Sequoias have a wimpy, soccer mom look, just not a truck look, and definitely not my style. Looks like a stuffed toy animal if you look at it really good. Tech is old, if you think about...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    The 5.3 has some crazy high mileage examples out there If I can get to 250k to 300k easy miles, that's my goal. Toyota just seems to have an excessively long update schedule, and GM looks easier to work on based on the replies.. (My current Tahoe is being babied, one day I want to be the old...

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    I've often wondered if Toyota was considered more reliable simply because they are so slow to update - thoughts? Seems like the easy was to keep reliability is to just keep what works, but I prefer some updates, hence my Tahoe - old Sequoia looked outdated as hell when I was looking.

    Our trucks VS Toyota Sequoia???

    Curious how we hold up against Toyota's reputation for quality and reliability? Saw a recent post from some0ne who said their Sequoia was marginally better. Wife likes the Sequoia, but I personally don't like the hybrid crap or the battery, extra things to break, etc. (I've owned Toyotas but...

    If I never replaced the transmission Thermal Bypass Valve, should I be running to the dealer ASAP?

    I had all fluids changed at around 50k miles, so 30k on what's in there now. Appreciate the reply though, i want to keep this truck long term so do whatever i can.
