What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Doubeleive]

Lifter tick, 2 weeks to fix, no loaner.

so...why not just drive it until the parts come in?

 

[sd172]

Excessive camshaft lobe scoring/wear, metal shavings in oil, loss of compression and misfires in affected cylinder, unburned gasoline in the exhaust? I would get if fixed before there’s a need for a new engine unless you are in the middle of a desert and your life depends on it.

Get your truck back yet? I got a call on Friday. GM owes me a correct part number under hood air scoop on my Z06. After 5 months, it’s off the back order list. Hopefully will be delivered to the dealer on Tuesday. (I got a relationship with my dealer, I’m just picking up the part and installing it myself).

Yeah got it back 1.5 weeks ago. Insane...

Few days ago, someone pulls onto the road, across all lanes to turn left, I skid, and bumped him, then he ran... Cops never showed up after 45 minutes... All I was left with was a Uninsured driver, dude with no drivers license, and a scraped up front bumper. I am cursed... Every wreck I have been in beside getting bumped in the back of my 56 at a stop sign was in, Black Chevy... I think I need to pick a new color....

 

[San Diego Tahoe]

Took my new-to-me 2018 that I bought in FEB 2021 to the snow (Mt. Laguna) for the first time. No real issues, but the original Bridgestone Duelers it came with (currently have 43k mi) are past their end-of-life date, for sure. The front passenger tire is practically bald, but still no real issues through the snow. Nothing crazy, but was breaking the path in some parts around 3-6". Hard to compare to my previous (2012 Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4) because of the atrocious tires, so I ordered Michelin Defenders (seems to be the prevailing choice on this forum by far) from Costco and will have those on before my next snow foray in FEB 2022 to Big Bear. Will see how they fare then - expecting much better performance (i.e. wheel spin and traction).

Got the set of Michelin X LT A/S (i.e. Costco-exclusive Michelin Defender) installed to replace the OEM Duelers, and a suspension alignment. Don't see any night-and-day level difference, but admittedly, my butt-dyno is not very refined at all. On a related note, I didn't realize Costco has DIY fill stations for your tires AND it's with nitrogen. Compelling, if you ask me.

if all that is happening from a lifter tick then it's too late already, call it a wash

I would have to ask someone more knowledgeable how quickly the tick will turn into something of a concern. Seeing a check engine light due to misfire will indicate certain damage.

gm lifter tick is a age old issue.....in general it does nothing other than "tick", other sounds or diagnosis are of course different

Pulled the trigger on some Lloyd carpeted mats for my '15 Yukon XL Denali. Went with the Luxe line for the (2) front mats and then went with their Ultimat line for the 2nd row, 3rd row, and cargo mat. Ebony silver "DENALI" embroidery and the added premium black vinyl binding.

I'll give the interior a good vacuum and detail before throwing these in. Happy with the way they turned out. Our dog approves as well he was already laying on the large cargo mat.

Flickering Morimoto episode is finally over and the the wife can finally see and be seen. And now I have to figure out what I need to with the OEM HIDs on my Silverado to make them better. LOL!

Morimoto HIDs or LEDs?

Morimoto HIDs or LEDs?

2Stroke 3.0 LEDs in both lows and fogs.

I replaced the stock air intake tube with an Airaid MIT. I must have gained at least 120 rear wheel horsepower with this thing!
Jokes aside, I notice absolutely no difference in throttle response or power etc.
I do however notice a subtle deeper tone to the engine which is what I wanted. When it's time to pass someone on the freeway and it downshifts I can hear a little more growl.
Between the sound and the ability to see much more of the front of the engine, such as belts and hoses, I'd say it was worth the $159.

i recently posted an older thread were BLACKBEAR tested several of these intake tubes / cold air boxes. Unfortunately, you are correct, this MIT is for looks and sound only...no gains recorded.

but in all, still love the looks of it, and the change in engine tune is perfect.

How much sound we talking? Short of getting a full exhaust I like the sound my 6.2 already makes.. does it give it a beefier roar when accelerating?

Definitely a deeper note under even mild acceleration. And when WOT you’ll definitely hear the difference.

Where did you buy it for $159?

 

[Bigkevschopshop]

2Stroke 3.0 LEDs in both lows and fogs.

Did it help the fog light output?

Can't compare since the truck didn't come with fogs from the factory. I added them with Gen5DIY harness and installed the LEDs.

My 2015 LTZ. Converted the magnetic ride to Fox 2.0 coilovers, added Xineering 3/4 bypass kit to avoid any warning lights for the suspension, added a 1.5 inch spacer in the rear, KSP upper control arms, and longer end links for the rear. This Tahoe started out as stock loaded with chrome. Traded out the stock 22s for some 20s and a set 265 60 20 BFG ultra terrain tire. Also upgraded the stock air intake with a Jr air intake system (kept the stock airbox) installed Gibson dual sport exhaust, and added a custom tune. No longer your typcial grocery getter! I have a before and after picture to show all the progress.

How do you like the KSP upper control arms?

Ordered the drop from Summit the other day. Awaiting pieces now...
