    2022 Yukon Trans Issue

    My son's 22 Yukon (6.2, 10 speed trans, 54k) was shift oddly and then went into limp mode the other day. He got it to the dealer and after their review, they told him it was the valve body and would need replaced. The first thing that came to mind, did the valve body go because the TC? My...

    Yukon Stopped While Driving

    Hey Everyone - I have another version of problem with these vehicles. My son's 2022 Yukon (6.2L) went into limp mode last night. He got it home and parked. Started right up today and idled fine with no unusual noises. However, wouldn't move when in drive. He put it back into park let it sit for...

    2017 occasional Harsh shifting

    Thanks for posting the follow-up. Glad to hear you got some relief on the costs. Your success will give folks a path to maybe take a run at GM as well. Cheers, Tim

    Rebuilt 6l80 Fluid Question

    Gents - Here is what I know: The BG fluid is an after market supplier of fluid and additives and the shop tells me the fluid in the unit is Dex6? I believe they put in Sonnax valve body, upgraded thermostat and a Billet TQ. I don't know if they tuned the TEHCM. I was contemplating a call...

    Rebuilt 6l80 Fluid Question

    The summary - I had a local shop rebuild my 6l80 and it now has about 12k on the rebuild. After warming up it tends to shift harder from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd. However, it is more pronounced up and down between 1st and 2nd. It has done this pretty much from the start, they tell me it is...

    Recharging 2017 1234YF System

    Hi Dmad1, Doesn't surprise me you were charged this, it takes some time to swap out the condenser and refrigerant is pricey even at Advance Auto, if I recall it was $40.00 +/- a can. Hopefully all is well with your AC now!

    2017 occasional Harsh shifting

    MinahBob, The trans issues with these vehicles are maddening! I cannot weigh in either way on the success of suing Chev and/or dealer on this issue but other than the cost of filing and the time you will spend in preparation, you have nothing to lose. In addition, you may get someone's...

    High Pitch Whine 2007 Tahoe

    Update - Removed the belts, no change. However, I have determined it is much louder in drive or reverse. In park, there is a very slight noise almost nonexistent. I was going to have someone get in and put in drive and hard brake, then lay next to the vehicle to see if I can hear it coming...

    High Pitch Whine 2007 Tahoe

    All - thanks for the feed back. Sorry for the delayed response, been out of pocket on a fishing trip. There has been no impact on the vehicle driveability. I am going to dig into it next week and try to get it resolved (very annoying). I'll update my findings. Thanks again, Tim

    High Pitch Whine 2007 Tahoe

    I have a high pitch whine in my 07 which I can hear only at idle. When it's first started it is less pronounced in park but detectable in drive and reverse. After it's warmed up it mostly constant regardless. It is not loud enough to hear while driving with window opened or closed. I have...

    5.3 Guys, opinion on oil change intervals

    I have an 07 Tahoe with 317,000 on it and I put 295,000 of that on and a 2017 with 102,000 and do the changes myself. The 2007 burns some oil these days, however, leaks more than it burns (for another thread). I use Valvoline in both and change at 3,500. However, I think most all oils on the...

    Sealing up the oil cooler block-off plate once and for all?

    Hey Dave, The OEM part warped on my 07 and replaced with the plate Ron linked to. It's been on over 2 years and no leaks. Tim

    Considering buying a 2017 Tahoe Lt--need input from 4th gen owners

    I have a 2017 LT 5.3 with 100k (I put 23k on it). I concur with the rest of the folks, ride and handling is very good and especially on long trips. I did have to have the trans rebuilt at around 88K, the torque converters on these trans are not good as they shed metal. Also, the trans...

    Low oil pressure

    @Tjudd, I had to replace the timing chain, tensioner, gears, oil pump and pan gasket/oil pick-up ring on my 07 Tahoe. On the initial start-up I had an issue with the lower oil pressure than normal. As it turned out, the Purolator oil filter I used did not pressurizing properly. I replaced with...

    2017 Radiator Failure

    Update - I went ahead and tore this down. As a reference point, there is not a trans cooler in the radiator of this vehicle, the trans cooler lines run into the AC condenser and is in the upper half of the condenser. Thus the puzzling question of how glycol could get into the trans fluid. The...
