    Looking for a 2000-2014/New member looking for a Tahoe/Yukon and some good advice for towing!

    A lot of great info here. One thing I did not see mentioned is many of these will have the Autoride system (RPO Z55), which many fail with higher mileage or age. If this fails, the handling will suck if loaded . I have an '09 Tahoe LTZ and when mine failed I noticed a significant difference in...

    Updated navigation disks

    Personally, I've found the factory NAV useless. Had the same dash and NAV on both '07 Avalanche and current '09 Tahoe. It's positioned too low and the screen is hard to read. Never updated due to high cost of the updates. TomTom, Garmin and phone (and of course google maps) work for me.

    High Mileage Invest Money Or Not?

    Been there, done that. I live in a rust state, and the only reason I got rid of that last two vehicles were due to the rust. '01 Silverado and '02 Avalanche, both with over 260k on them and they ran like new still. However when the frame rusts or other parts that make it almost unrepairable...

    Tires..It's gonna come faster than you think

    I had the Cooper Discoverer AT3's on my Avalanche. Great tires, excellent traction, quieter than the Wranglers I had before. Ran them year round and got two good years out of them, third year they were still good for the summer but worn enough so they would not have been good for winter...

    09 Tahoe Wheel Alignment Question

    We were doing "4 wheel" alignments back in the 80's. Seems to me that would be standard, but as mentioned, if they are just hanging sensors on two wheels, run the other way. A lot of variables that are mentioned in other posts so I won't repeat them. I have an '09 Tahoe and both of the shops I...

    Another pad and rotor question

    I've read some of the previous posts regarding this, but looking for fresh information. 2009 Tahoe LTZ, looking for recommendations on a pad and rotor upgrade. i see a lot like the Powerstop products. I'm old enough to remember that you may replace rotors once in the lifetime of the vehicle...

    2009 Tahoe..Mystery noise

    Update: Well it appears the issue was a sway bar link. My left one broke, and so far there has been no noise. Makes sense, as when it is up on the lift, the suspension drops so it tightens up things like that. Nothing was obviously visible. Anyhow, no noise since replacement Thanks for the...

    2009 Tahoe..Mystery noise

    I'm not sure of the age of the struts, no signs of leakage and it drives well, but certainly a possibility. That was one thought that I had, maybe one was coming apart inside. Sounds like a good place to examine further. I know they looked over the differential mounts, don't think they went so...

    2009 Tahoe..Mystery noise

    Hello all, I have an '09 Tahoe LTZ with 196K on it, but it is in very good condition both mechanically and rust wise. I have an intermittent heavy clunk or thump noise coming from the front of the vehicle. It is intermittent, it may go for days without occurring, then once in a while I'll get...

    Is there a quality forum for Avalanche

    I had an '02 Z71 Avy, and my girlfriend still has her '07 LTZ. Never had much issue with the covers, although I would wipe down the rubber between the sections with armor all or silicone periodically. Rarely had a leak except a tiny bit in a real heavy rain. when the leakage occurred during the...

    Sound like a good deal to you?

    I have quite a few Husky tools from our local Home Depot. Been very happy with them and reasonably priced compared to some brands.

    GM recalling more than 600,000 trucks and SUVs

    Thanks for the heads up. Reading articles like that make me sometimes wonder if all the technology is worth it.

    Rear door handle rod clip

    Thanks for this post. I looked at a ton of videos and was beginning to think I had the one and only oddball. I wasn't able to get it off, so I'm going to order a clip from the dealer as I'm sure I will break this one getting it off. Probably GM did this to force people to take it to the dealer...
