    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?

    $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 :)

    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?

    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...

    2017 Tahoe LT, 6 speed, never replaced this as far as I know - should I be concerned? I don't tow, and Florida is pretty flat, so not a whole lot of stress ln my trans.

    AC gradually got warmer over a few weeks, now is toast. I'm debating whether to go to my dealer or a local independent AC shop, there's a chain of Ice Cold AC shops in Tampa, who've been around for years. Asking because the last AC service to my Toyota, was by a regular local mechanic, and...

    rotated tires - now tire pressure is telling me the wrong wheel/tire is low?

    After rotating front to back, the rear tire was low, 19 lbs, but dash showed the front tire as low Is there a reset for this? I thought the pressure sensor was related to the axle in some way, is it inside the wheel? Dumb question but I never really considered this.....

    Stupid Question - do all 2017 Tahoes have LED tailights???

    My left turn signal, top 4 bulbs are dead, bottom is fine, but they look like bulbs - is the dealer lying to me and saying the "whole asembly needs to be replaced" or can I replace a bulb/fuse/whatever for less than the roughly $400? I've got the mechanical skills of a chimp, and tools to...

    Semi-dumb question - Advantages of solid rear axle vs New 2021 Independent Rear Suspension?

    So I've got a 2017 LT, 4x4, with the 5.3 Is there ANY advantage to the solid axle? Or is the new independent rear suspension just better all around? Seems like the solid rear would have some kind of reason to exist, is it just out dated, or is it better for towing, tougher, etc?
