    2023 Tahoe HC with SC. Should buy it or wait?

    That's a lot of money off being offered. I doubt that you'll get a deal on the GMC. In short order you'll forget the extra things that are attracting you if you get the Tahoe.

    Does '08 Tahoe LT3 include Z71?

    My stand exactly. There is a line item for Z71 on the window sticker. It's a possible negotiation ploy on the other side.

    2023 Yukon Denali 6.2L, Dead at 3600 miles

    Same here. Horror stories. Happy that our -08 Tahoe has life left in it. My friend was a long time repeat Tahoe owner and got a Ford Explorer to downsize. Hugh mistake because the computerized driver aids went haywire and couldn't be fixed so Ford is off his list. He got a Hyundai Palisade and...

    Does '08 Tahoe LT3 include Z71?

    Having discussion regarding '08 Tahoe value and the question came up on missing Z71 designation in evaluation and was told that LT3 includes Z71 in the trim line. Our window sticker just shows LT3 option and separate line item charges for Z71 leading to question that the LT3 includes Z71. If...

    18" Z71 Wheel Fit?

    Prices at that website seem low. Are they replicas/refurbs?

    18" Z71 Wheel Fit?

    Our Tahoe came with the 18x8 Z71s so I know those fit but I didn't know if the extra projection on the newer ones due to extra width and different offset mattered, but it appears not. Fifteen years of winter chemicals eroded the paint and machining on all plus a recent incident with damage.

    18" Z71 Wheel Fit?

    All of them? No issue at the mudflaps when the wheel is turned due to the extra 1/2" outer projection?

    18" Z71 Wheel Fit?

    Reposting previous topic with more refined fit question. Question about 18" replacement wheels for 2008 Tahoe. I see many later model wheels but am not sure about fit. Because of the year only newer "takeoffs" show up (except for one replica pattern). Originals are 8J18 ET31 but newer ones are...

    4.11s or 3.73s?

    Seems like misguided effort for such a heavy vehicle. As youngsters we used to think that Thrush muffler noise represented something other than it was.

    4.11s or 3.73s?

    And then there is the effect on gas mileage

    Rear Differential Whine

    In reference to mine, both shops had photos of the various setup patterns. They were happy but I can't say I have experience to know the finer points.

    Rear Differential Whine

    My carrier bearings were replaced by a trans shop that claimed to have hundreds of replacements under their belt. After the bearing replacment (which were grumbling) I had a noticible whine. The bearing noise was loud so the whine may have been there before. I had someone more experienced in...

    2005 Tahoe Ticking

    I have had new and old Chevy engines since the mid 60's. They tick and keep on running. Our '08 clicks until warmed up. Worst case was a solid lifter engine with .030" valve clearance. That clatter makes you ignore just about all other engine clicks.

    2023 Yukon Paint Color Options - What should I pick?

    In the interest of lower maintenance and safety on the road we always like white or red. We always avoid road colors like gray/silver and black. I made the mistake once of getting a silver Jeep and I always thought the reason it got a big ding in the door at a dealer lot when waiting for service...

    What Years Had Lifter Issues?

    What were the problem years in regards to lifter issues? May be looking for a replacement used Tahoe and want to know which years to avoid.

    Heated O2 Sensor Readings?

    Good idea. I intended on using liquid electrical tape to coat the solder because they are tight spots close to the connector. Then I can wrap the whole bunch with tape. The old tape was hard as a rock and needed a heat gun to soften it up to peal it back. PIA working on the ground.

    Heated O2 Sensor Readings?

    Hoping the simplest solution is the right one. Ohm meter showed odd reading on one of the heater (feed) wires. After prying the connector off the top of the frame to get a better look, two wires (one heater) showed cracks in the insulation and it looks like the copper heater wires were broken...

    Heated O2 Sensor Readings?

    It was wishful thinking that cleaning the MAF sensor cured it. It did for another 40 miles, then not. It had been only one error code but previously was a stuck lean error but lately stuck rich. Checking the new current codes today was the first time multiple codes; 1st , P2270, stuck lean on...

    Heated O2 Sensor Readings?

    Another day without a code so perhaps cleaning the MAF sensor was the key. I never realized it could be a maintenance item but then again we haven't kept a daily driver vehicle for 15 years before.

    Heated O2 Sensor Readings?

    Just a thought on the several heater circuit concern comments, would the system send a code right away on cold start if the heater circuit was not working? Lately the error codes don't occur until after many mile(30-40) so it seems like the heater should be out of play by then but I'm just spit...

    P2271 What fuse is involved in that system?

    Heated O2 Sensor Readings?

    My 4 wires from the sensor to the plug appear to all be the same size but there are 2 of the same color; white.

    Heated O2 Sensor Readings?

    Errors are on a downstream sensor.
