I'm new to the forum and looking for opinions/advice on keeping my tahoe running smooth for another 100k. I just put new tires on it and I think I need a front end alignment done. I do not have AFM on it yet but do you guys feel it's worth it to do even at 100k?

What else should I be thinking about to keep her running like a top?

thanks,

I have 177K miles on my 2016 Tahoe. Still have the original plugs,wires and 02 sensors in it. Still get 24 MPG out on the highway on 87 octane. AFM is still enabled. Runs like brand new. Just had it serviced at Paramus Chevrolet before I head to Miami next week. Surprised the dealer did not try to upsell me anything.

Disabling AFM is a personal call. The longer you keep it, the greater that chances that something will go wrong with it. But, some folks here in the Forum have had good luck with their AFM setups with no issues. Do you feel lucky?

Get one of these for sure!

Seriously though, get all of the fluids changed. Oil, transmission, both differentials, transfer case, brake fluid, etc.

And think seriously about having AFM tuned out by a pro. A @BlackBearPerf tune will disable AFM and wake up the engine and transmission, while also prolonging the transmission's life through less converter slippage between shifts. They have tuned both of my Yukon's and I'm about to have them tune my Suburban 3500HD.

We look forward to helping you out with another tune!
