    Adios and thank you all

    I will pop in from time to time. With only 200 miles on it, I had to drive to work through an ice storm this morning. In 4wd over 60 miles I averagef 25mpg! There's a section of highway that's super rough. My Tahoe suspension would crash and shake. The DSSSV dampers on this Sierra glided...

    Adios and thank you all

    Well, after 100K miles on my Z71, I traded her in on a GMC Sierra AT4X yesterday. Got decent $ for the Tahoe as they were shocked how good a shape it was in at 100K miles. Great forum here! Will miss it. Good luck all!

    Change 2021 Z71 Tahoe side mirrors

    My '21 Z71 has them. Was it part of an option pkg?

    Humming noise when tightly turning steering wheel, only during cold start and go?

    I was having this issue, I took my 21 Z71 in for various maintenance items (90K miles). They changed the fluid with additive and the issue has been resolved.

    New 2025 Tahoe Z71

    I just hit 90K on my '21 Z71. I really like it and wanted the diesel on my next and was going to have to move out of the Z71 to get it. Now I can get it so I'm going to try and hold off until the '25's. I won't have much residual left on my '21 at my mileage pace unfortunately. Just hoping...

    No Refresh for 2024

    Seats!! I love almost everything about my z71 except the seats. I even sat in the Yukon ultimate seats and although they have massage, to my behind they are still too hard. If I could have put my 2015 F150 Platinum seats in to my Tahoe, I'd be a happy camper. C'mon GM! I was hoping a refresh...

    2024 ordering?

    Anyone know when the online builder will have 2024 trucks? I can order a 2024 Sierra now but when I try to configure a Yukon it shows 2023. There's a new Sierra color called Downpour blue that I really like and was hoping it will be available for the Yukon.

    subscribed, my 2021 does this

    Magnetic oil drain plug

    I installed a mag plug and I bought a handful of copper crush washers that I replace each time I change the oil (myself). Thankfully last 10K miles there's been nothing attached to it other than oil :)

    2023 Yukon XL Windshield Wipers periodically stop working while driving

    I had that problem and turned off rain sense and it hasn't happened since.

    Lifted/Leveled 2021 - Postem Up

    That looks really good. That's exactly what I want to do with my Z71. Std suspension right? How does it ride? How was the install of the lift?

    Rattle wind noise from A-pillar glove box area?

    I'm going to look at these items on the TSB. I have a rattle that happens above 70 mph on both sides and to me, it sounds like it's coming from inside the A-pillar. I had the sunroof drain TSB resolved and I think it could be those lines. This noise doesn't happen if it is raining which leads...

    I'm at 70K miles on my 21 Z71 5.3. Life of vehicle avg is 18.6 mpg. Best I've ever seen is just over 21 mpg. I daily it 115 miles r/t a day highway.

    Z71 front grill taking a beating. options?

    Unfortunately I'm way out of warranty. I'm just trying to figure out what I can do with it. I imagine a new grill is pretty pricey. I could strip and and apply a wrap to it. I have 70K hard highway miles. On my 3rd windshield as well. Price of being a daily I guess.

    Z71 front grill taking a beating. options?

    I've got almost 70K miles on my '21 Z71 and the grill is taking a beating. The "smokey" colored film is chipping away from small impacts. Anyone else deal with this? Is there a way to touch up that film?

    Any engine failures at 60K+ miles?

    This is my biggest fear.

    Any engine failures at 60K+ miles?

    So I've surpassed the 60K mark and I'm out of powertrain warranty. I hope I'm not jinxing myself here but I've not had the dreaded lifter issue. I'm hoping I'm past initial failure mileage. I really like this truck and wanted to hear if there have been any higher mileage failures.

    How happy are you with your 2021/22 Tahoe/Yukon?

    I'm a few hundred shy of 60K miles on my '21 Z71. Overall it's been a solid vehicle. It's currently at the shop for the seatbelt recall. Hoping I don't experience what the above poster did :( I did have the TSB done for the sunroof drains but since, I've had a rattle in both A-pillars that I...

    What's Everyone's Favorite Tire Choice for their Tahoe?

    Another vote for the Michelin Defenders. I put them on my Z71 and they don't look as "off roady" as other A/T's but they are dang quiet, killer in the rain, last 60K + miles, and are decent in the snow. I've put them on every truck/SUV I've had in the last 10 years

    "smoked chrome" trim on grill chipped already

    I got a no on fixing this from the dealer over a year ago. Now I'm coming up on 60K miles and as you can imagine, it's gotten worse. What options do I have? Vinyl wrap? Paint? Can you get some sort of touch up for this film?

    Knocking sound driving me insane!!!

    I'll try with the roof open. I've pushed on the glass to no avail. It was happening prior to the TSB but I will try and use that as an argument that they loosened something in there during the process.

    Knocking sound driving me insane!!!

    No aftermarket equip. Sharkfin tight. Yes it has a sun roof that seems to be sealed well when closed. The sunroof drain that had to be repositioned with the TSB worked or didn't work depending if the defroster was running creating negative pressure in the cabin. That's the only thing I can...

    Knocking sound driving me insane!!!

    I've got this knocking sound coming from the area in front and above my head. It only happens at highway speeds and when wind is crossing left to right. It's bizarre but driving me insane. I had the TSB on the sunroof drainlines done and I'm wondering if it can be those that are somehow...
