    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    I think that was with the 2021 and up generation. They said the stability control was one of the most intrusive they had ever seen.

    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    From a Car and Driver test in 2018...... "The Tahoe RST generated 0.75 g of grip around the skidpad and showed moderate understeer. That’s exactly the same amount of grip available in a standard Tahoe, a disappointing performance considering the RST’s massive P285/45R-22 Bridgestone Duelers and...

    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    They will make your truck ride rougher no doubt, due to the reduced sidewall height, but it may actually handle worse. Tire choice is probably more important than rim size.

    Inflate your tires to 50 psi..... LOL!

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    Some depends on where you live. My wife and I never came close to $100K a year and never spent more than $60K a year. Yet we live in a 2400 sq ft brick ranch and I retired at 60. Couldn't do that in CA. though.....

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    It's simple. Because there is a lot of money out there. A lot. It may not be in your hands or mine, but it is there. A lot of people made a killing on the stock market recently, and I know a lot of 2 income families making $250K or more a year. They have money to burn......

    Axle ratio to tire size input needed

    It's not a bolt in for sure. My buddy has set-up ring and pinions and it just takes patience to get it right. Having an old-school guy help would be a good thing.....

    Axle ratio to tire size input needed

    08 had a 5 speed and 3.36 gears. Motor Trend said the HP rating was way low based on their 0-60 time. Just don't expect any big changes by changing gears. I bet you'd be lucky to see a 1/2sec improvement in 0-60 going to 3.73's......

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    Supercharging

    Many states in the west (California included) max out at 91 octane for most stations. It's always a disclaimer on magazine performance tests out there that the vehicle was tested on 91 octane, not 93.

    To good to be true? / Advice

    Towing a 7500lb trailer for 2 hours? That just doesn't sound like a lot of towing if you ask me. Especially with the trailer tow pkg.

    Supercharging

    Yep, and Yukon Denali's as well. Probably should have kept the 6 speed based on the 8 speed issues that resulted.

    Supercharging

    Nope. 6 speed was used behind the 5.3 until the next Gen's came out in 2021. My 2019 Yukon has the 6 speed. All 6.2's got the 10 speed starting in 2018.

    Supercharging

    Just curious, did you really notice a big difference? I remember reading about a Saleen or Shelby supercharged Mustang that was only 0.2 seconds faster in the 1/4 mile than a stock GT.

    To good to be true? / Advice

    Congrats! $35K seems a little steep as I got my CPO 2019 Yukon XL SLT w/45K miles for $39K. Seems like you talked them down though. How much do you plan to tow? I'm not sure I would tear the tranny apart to put a converter in if you are only towing 3500 lbs occasionally.

    Axle ratio to tire size input needed

    I guess, what is the real question here? It's not like your truck is suddenly not going to run. In fact I doubt you would notice any difference as you are only increasing tire size by an inch. 3.42's would more than compensate for the tire change though. I'd change the tires, drive it and see...

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    If you pull out the cargo thingy, the space is similar to the previous generation with the 3rd row still in. Taking the 3rd row out is a lot more difficult though. But I never used the 3rd row in my 2010 Tahoe, so the Sparksalot solution is a good one with this Gen......

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    I never felt my 2010 Tahoe was very underpowered. It performed just fine 99.9% of the time. My 1994 Toyota 4x4 pickup was underpowered.......

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    Yep, I will never need extra room for groceries in my Yukon XL. I pulled the 3rd row on my 2010 Tahoe the day I bought it and never put them back in.

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    You should be able to take out the cargo box and have a flat floor. They actually did this on later versions in LS trim (Custom trim?) and removed the rear seat. Might want to look into that. My wife is 4'-11" and has no problem finding a good seat position with the power pedals and tilt/tele...

    Those Who Moved From an '07-14 to '15+ generation... How Was It?

    Just went from a '10 Tahoe to a 19 Yukon XL. Ride is a bit better in the Yukon as is acceleration (5.3L 6 sp on both). Seats were a bit more comfortable on the Tahoe, but I am still finding the sweet spot. Despite what others may say, the Yukon is orders of magnitude quieter than the Tahoe. And...

    Multiple front strut p/n's

    According to Rock, you only need the RPO code, 6/7SH in my case, p/n 5401725. Just wondering why 25 different p/n's are actually needed. Seems crazy. There are no RPO codes in my glovebox. You have to scan a QR code. I got a full listing from one of the GM parts dealers with my VIN.
