GM now offering the Factory Service Manual as a subscription?!?
With all the software in new cars, I don't know how long I want to keep the new cars...might be that they get sold off before they go too far down hill. heh, I'm still using office 2007. It still works. I got 2016 when it came out (at a hefty discount from my wife's workplace), but I didn't...- jforb

Little vs big V8 2025 Tahoe
I get just a tad over 10 mpg towing a 22' airstream behind the 2022 Tahoe with 5.3. It has enough power, but it sure sucks fuel. I wished I'd had the patience to get a diesel.- jforb

Interior lights come on by walking close
My new Caddy CT4 did that when I bought it (last Tuesday). I got into the settings and fixed it. The settings on the infotainment system are very similar to my 22 Tahoe. Look for the "vehicle locator lights" setting? but the feature is called "Approach Detection"- jforb

2023 Tahoe Premier: leaking fluid from front, minor swaying/rough ride
Every car with air conditioning will drip water when there is any humidity in the air. It's perfectly normal. The water comes out the drain tube that is below the evaporator--that's the part in the car that "chills" the cabin air. Atmospheric moisture condenses on the cold evaporator.- jforb

What are you doing about uncomfortable seats?
It comes with the tow package, but the brake controller is optional (Advanced Trailering Package cost $250). It's the only option I got when I ordered the truck. Not sure what you mean by "higher gear ratio", they all come with 3.23 gears. The ten speed transmission has a very wide ratio spread...- jforb

How many miles are too many for you when you buy used?
Depends. I bought a 2006 Tahoe with 155k on it, for $6k six years ago. Sold it with 195k for $5k 2 years ago. I think I did all right on that one. When I went looking for a replacement, I decided that since used late models cost so much, I'd buy new, so I got a Tahoe with 4 miles on it. Now I...- jforb

Window Sticker Descrepancy
My mid-22 built Tahoe was missing park assist due to lack of parts, and the window sticker notes that it's missing, gave a credit of $50, and says "includes later retrofit". so the parts scarcity should have shown up on the sticker?- jforb

What to buy
Or you could ignore the AFM and just drive the truck. We have a 22 and I don't worry about AFM. A few people have problems, not the majority? seems it mostly gets badmouthed by folks who don't live with one of the new trucks. Which are really pretty nice. Going from a 2006 mid level Tahoe to...- jforb

2023 Tahoe Users Manual
From some of the questions you see on automotive forums, it's obvious that a lot of people don't read them...so I guess it makes sense to not provide them any more. But my 2022 Tahoe came with one, and I refer to it often- jforb

Rotors have scratches. Normal?
Won't affect braking, but if you don't like how it looks, get new rotors and pads.- jforb

2021 5.3L Tahoe Alternator voltage?
Interesting about GM AGM batteries. I just replaced the original GM AGM battery in my FILs 2019 Regal, it lasted 5 years, like most batteries. I've had similar experience with other GM batteries. Maybe New York is harder on batteries than Arizona? but like he said, you won't get much useful...- jforb
