    Dealer Service defensive measures.....

    Yep, no arguments out of me here. I confirmed prior to work starting with my body shop that nothing would be reported to Carfax so at least that part isn't a concern.

    Dealer Service defensive measures.....

    I had a few defects I wanted addressed (outline of airbag/wrinkle in dash leather, tear in liftgate seal, defect in rear passenger door vent window tint). Skipped the first issue as I didn't want them tearing out my dash but for the window fix, the auto glass company that the dealer uses...

    Dealer Service defensive measures.....

    I took my '23 Tahoe z71 in to my local dealer for some warranty fixes at about 300 miles; 10k in damages later I got it back. Had to take it to a body shop and was out of service for 3+ months and still isn't 100% perfect.

    New purchase 2025 tahoe - warranty question

    For folks with Geico insurance, you have the option of adding MBI (mechanical breakdown insurance). Food for thought.

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Interesting as it relates to a manufacturer (GM) building engines with AFM/DFM, auto-stop/start, etc. https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=253439

    Rear Seat Cover - Yukon XL AT4

    For bucket seats (2nd row), here's what I use: I use these and they work/look great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XPXDCY1?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_7&th=1 If you need rear seat protectors (with kids kicking the backs of your seats) try these...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    For those of you advising on changing oil at 50% of OLM, is this mileage based or time based? I had an oil change at 1 year because my OLM said I was at 0% yet my mileage was only 2,697. Asked another way, is time a concern with oil quality or is it mileage that dilutes it over time?

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Hot take: don't protect/extend your engine with the 0w-40 and keep running the original for as long as possible. If you have an affected unit, wouldn't you want to get it to failure as fast as possible within the recall period and/or warranty instead of band-aid it with the 0w-40 and miss your...

    BREAKING: GM is officially recalling the L87

    Really sorry to hear about everyone's misfortune with the 6.2L; I had a deposit at two dealers for one of these but GM never honored the build and I got my money back. Picked up a new '23 Tahoe with the 5.3L and still wondering if there's much concern about these engines with the 0W-20 and DFM...

    Best way to clean black grill?

    Appreciate the thoughts folks...will grab a blower and look into a foam cannon. Any strong pros/cons for a hose attached cannon vs a pressure washer one?

    Best way to clean black grill?

    Good tips and love the idea of a leaf blower; sounds like i still need to wash and scrub the dirt in every little nook and cranny before drying tho. Is a wash mitt my best bet or have others used some type of non-abrasive brush to make it faster/easier?

    Best way to clean black grill?

    Any shortcuts or advice on keeping this thing clean (2023 Tahoe Z71)? Very tedious to get every little hole and water spot...any tips on products or techniques is very much appreciated!

    Overhead Lights flickering fade out

    Anybody else see this on the overhead lights near the buttons for sunroof/garage door opener? Don't even need to start car; just open car door then shut it and wait for the lights to fade out...they don't fade they almost flicker as they dim.

    Software Update

    @WalleyeMikeIII appreciate the context on why no OTA at this time. @apex944 details on the updates are in the App if you check your vehicle status. Looks like one is for the Serial Data Gateway (as Walleye shared above) and another is for Failed Brake Fluid Leak Detection. I would suspect...

    Software Update

    Got an email from Chevy this morning advising my Tahoe is due for an update and I need to bring it into the dealer to do this. Two q's: 1. I assumed this'd get pushed remotely and I can do it anywhere...why do I need to go to the dealer for this? 2. Anybody know what's in this update? Thanks...

    Quality Control

    A couple of the scratches below the glass are pretty minor; the scratches above the glass look like the tool slipped and just gouged out sections of the paint (almost like the tool was spinning based on how the scratches are circular). Def below clear coat and messed up the black plastic trim...

    Quality Control

    Update: dropped car for warranty work but, after meeting with the tech doing the work, decided against many of the fixes as being too invasive and/or parts looked no better than the ones being replaced. For instance, decided against swapping out the dashboard as tech was worried about possibly...

    What's my recourse regarding some from-the-factory paint issues on my month-old truck?

    Talk to the dealer and have them tell you what your options are. I had a list of items that I wasn't happy with and took it mine to my local dealer; they sent most of them back to Chevy who approved fixes under warranty although I'm still waiting on parts and for the work to be done. One thing...

    Update: Had appointment with local dealer yesterday and they submitted my complaints to Chevy and all were approved with replacement parts ordered. Not submitted: 1. Tow hook scuffs 2. Paint imperfection on hood (too tiny to even really see) 3. Irregular weld in driver door frame (really...

    Plastic I get and I've got young kid(s) so fully expect it going forward but the air bubble is bad...looks fine unless truck is sitting in sun then it looks like a big bird shit. I've got an appointment at local dealer for late this week to take in and have them and inspect...we'll see what...

    It's definitely factory tint as this truck was delivered to the dealer and I picked it up on arrival.

    Another day, another few quality issues. First two pics are the tint issue/air bubble on rear passenger window I described in an earlier post. 2nd set of pics is the dashboard on passenger side...air bags?
