    2022 6.2 High Country - Low Oil, Likely Blown Motor

    Did you get a copy of the repair writeup? Be interesting to see what all they replaced and how much labor was used, etc. Shortblock, longblock, complete engine, gaskets, fluids, bolts, mounts etc.

    Voltmeter reading

    Testing at GM showed around a 1 mpg increase when the voltage drops like this. There is a program that controls this, after fully sated charge it can drop for about an hour, then jump back up for several minutes to reactivate the battery charge. Or something like this. I've seen this on our...

    2022 6.2L Yukon Spun Crankshaft Bearing

    For an engine with this mileage I'd sure assume it was not an assembly screwup, bearing failure, oiling problem, or a machining deal. I'm guessing it was a casting shift, several heat cycles and the block distorted a couple thousands of an inch. Rebuilding the motor won't guarantee it's done...

    Updated Thermal Control Valve

    I did find one at Hendricks and the order process went all the way to shipping, but at near $40 shipping for that little piece of jewelry, well, still looking.

    Updated Thermal Control Valve

    Anyone have any luck actually ordering the trans. temp. control valve lately? I've been all over the net trying to order this and just keep going around in circles. GMpartsdirect's cart only offers a quote via email, then goes back to the order page, click to get email quote again, no way to...

    Bearing clearance.

    Hate to ask but why the teardown? Just checking or a problem? I'm on the fence with reusing bearings, have to think about the "crush" that keeps them solidly in place.

    2022 6.2L Yukon Spun Crankshaft Bearing

    Hopefully they'll replace the motor, or at least the shortblock. But the labor charge might make the engine switch more likely. I wouldn't accept it with the OE motor repaired.

    Need help 2019 5.3 p0455 - SOLVED

    Thanks for the comeback. With the code in the title a future search by someone should find this thread.

    Issue with 2023 Tahoe

    I wonder with the major shortage of the "chips" used in these vehicles if they are accepting lesser quality in order to fill orders? With something like 1400 "chips" in a modern car and each one with hundreds of components, just one substandard capacitor cause a glitch in any system.

    New vehicle recommendations

    The premium gas is a concern, but I do run at least mid grade in our 5.3 and Sams Club usually has premium for the same price as mid grade - so I fill up there when I'm in the neighborhood.

    Which one do i want?

    We peasants are more interested in reliability and efficiency than thumbing our noses at the neighbors. At least those neighbors we don't want to punch in the nose. But I'd vote for a 2019 or 2020 with around 50K miles or less.

    Been a while but back in a truck

    Good looking Tahoe! Good year, well equipped, and low mileage.

    Flip the pill vs. tap and plug?

    On my 2019 I've been watching the temps and so far I've seen a high of 180. That's in mostly a high of 70 degree weather. I looked at the thermostat and it doesn't have any markings so I'm guessing it does have the higher temp unit. Probably be changing it out before summer. The TSB that...

    Can I bring my 2022 Chevy to any dealership for first free service?

    They list it on the service report. I' d guess it's a drive over toe in check? Pretty new dealership though and I wonder if they would have that, be kind of an old machine.

    Wife wants a smaller GM SUV, what's good and what should we stay away from?

    We had a '14 and 2017 Terrain with that V6 engine and I sure agree, perfect power plant for those machines. Great gas mileage and pretty amazing power. Liked those little SUVs but we needed more room now.

    low hanging independent rear suspension any problems

    Torsion bars back there? Why not, they're on the front?

    Wife wants a smaller GM SUV, what's good and what should we stay away from?

    I like the Trailblazer with the full frame too. After the first couple model years it seems to be pretty bulletproof even with minimal maintenance.

    Pistons

    Looks like some serious miles on those parts so I'd guess they are stock.

    Car Wash

    Can't answer the question but the one car wash I took ours to seemed to be made for a compact car. I thought it was going to blow the windows out. Real good water leakage test and it passed with flying colors - but never again. Thought the dryer blowers would remove paint.

    2023 Yukon Denali 6.2L, Dead at 3600 miles

    I agree. I'd hate to pay that price and have the machine gutted and reassembled - even by a well experienced technician. If they have a tech. who is experienced in that procedure.

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

    Looking at the panel I see 83 mph Off Road. Hummm.

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

    We used to experiment with black electrical tape to black out stuff to see how it looked, might try some of that.

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

    Engine in the Tahoe? 5.3 (?) vs 6.0 in the Denali might be a turning point for me. They are making you a really good deal on that Tahoe though.

    Transmission humming noise between 40-50 mph

    Yes the pinion bearing is, but if the lube/fluid was nice and clear I'd say the noise is not back there. Never seen yellow transmission fluid in a GM product.

    2013 Tahoe LS top end noise

    Watching video really close and it looks like the front rocker arm has about half the lift it should?
