    Front Wheel Bearing

    So recently I have been hearing a hum come from the front end while traveling over 40. If I turn right it gets worse and if I turn left the sound fades. That told me that the bearing on the front right was going out. Long story short I replaced the hub with a new OEM one and it’s nice and quiet...

    Updated Thermal Control Valve

    Just installed the updated TCV (thermostat) for my 6L80e. Took about 30 min once I found the correct size sockets and got set up. Trans temp now doesn’t go about 150. Part was about 50 bucks. Part number is 86774933 if anyone is interested. I think it’s well worth it.

    Transmission Fluid Analysis

    Just though I would post my analysis I had done. Sample was taken during a 5qt refresh after 20k mile run using AMSOIL SIGNATURE. Factory fluid was changed out at 24k miles to AMSOIL. (Approx 10 out 12 qts). Now have 44k miles on vehicle. I am very pleased with the report.

    Oil Pressure

    So I had this happen 1 other time. Initial cold start had very high oil pressure. Drive down the street, turned vehicle off and when started back up oil pressure was fine around 40. Could it be sensor or screen? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wheel Liners

    Does anyone know what’s good to clean off oil that has stained the felt wheel liners. A while ago I changed the trans fluid and the tubing popped out while I was flushing and got on the liner. I tried spraying it with brake cleaner but it didn’t do anything. I can still see the area that was...

    Engine oil pressure

    So something weird happened to me today. I got in my truck after it had been sitting for 2 days. I started it up and noticed engine oil pressure was extremely high. Around 70 psi. I thought it was kinda odd since have never seen that before on startup. As the truck warmed up it never went below...

    Trans thermostat delete

    Saw a few YouTube videos on how to delete thermostat to keep trans cooler. Unfortunate my 18 Tahoe doesn’t have the ability to disconnect the lines at the thermostat housing like older models. Has anyone attempted this on the new setup? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Towing Travel Trailer

    Going to be towing a 30ft travel trail in the next few weeks with my 2018 Tahoe 5.3. I have the max tow package (NHT) so I know the vehicle can handle it. I’m going through the mountains. Should I use tow/haul mode the whole time? Any info from experienced people who tow would be greatly...

    Oil leak

    I have a small leak on one of the engine oil lines. It’s where the metal connects to the hose. The plastic shield has a slight oil residue but no puddling. Is this a common problem with these hoses? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
