New Here - Tires + Brakes 2016 Denali
To the OP... I've had a number of Tahoe's, Yukon's and an Escalade...not to mention virtually all of the Trailblazer variants. My experience in tires and brakes has been pretty consistent. The various versions of the Michelin tires have always been the quietest and smoothest riding tires, but...- Hrocks

Which aftermarket rotors/pads for towing and better than OEM performance?
Easy...do not buy drilled rotors. Many think that because Porsche, Ferrari and other exotics use them that they must be good. They are, IF they were cast that way. Most of these boy racer internet companies simply buy the crap from China then drill and slot them. They are drilling through... -

Tips on replacing calipers & flushing brake fluid.
Low Post...First and foremost and with all due respect to some of the well meaning members, under any circumstances, DO NOT USE SILICONE BRAKE FLUID. For a street vehicle that's not used in any competitive events, a high quality brake fluid is fine. I used to use the stuff Ford had packaged...- Hrocks

2009 to 2011 Tahoe
With all due respect, I wouldn't own a '14 if it was available for $10K...especially with low miles. The first couple of years of the 2Kxx vehicles were nightmares. (check this forum for endless complaints on booming sounds, vibrations, roof panels needing re glued to the supports, etc. etc.)...- Hrocks

Think I'm trading Yukon Denali for Navigator.
Big difference between a Cummins, Detroit Diesel, or Duramax/Isuzu and a little gas 6 banger with a couple of hair dryers hauling around 6,000#. Ford presents the Ecoboost as major breakthrough in mileage efficency. What's crazy is that the MPG is within 1 MPG of the any of the GM trio...- Hrocks

Thoughts on buying 2019 Tahoe this December? Before 2020's come out?
Amen brother! I've had some first year GM models, (the last of which was a 2007 Escalade) and they are notorious for using the early adopters as their final validation test bed. In the case of the GMT K2XX models, it took two (maybe more) years. No thanks.- Hrocks

Help! Wife wants to trade Yukon for Sequoia if..
I would tend to agree with GTNator on the Sequoia design elements vs. the GMT K2XX platform vehicles. I still own a 2010 Tahoe LTZ that's "old but bold". Seems like after 110,000 it's just getting broken in. (By my son) Having had an '07 Escalade (with typical first model year GM growing...- Hrocks

Bug Deflector / WeatherTech Mats
I have used nothing but Weathertech laser cut mats in all of my vehicles for the last 15 years or so. Still have a set that I used in an '07 Escalade that I put in my '10 Tahoe that my son drives to school. I also took out two sets of brand new Lexus "all weather" mats in our GX460's and... -

Has Anyone Cross-Shoped The Land Cruiser
Based on the other vehicles that you own, I would simply suggest that you drive either a Sequoia, LC or an LX and you will make the right decision. I love my 2010 LTZ that I gave my son to drive, but I now have two GX460's. I really hate to say it, but you can feel the quality as soon as you...- Hrocks

Depreciation!
I've read the replies to your post and agree with the many that make reference to the well documented myriad of problems with the latest GMTK2XX generation. I have a 2010 GMT 920 White Diamond Tahoe LTZ with 105,000 miles, that I have given to my son to drive in HS. It has been a fantastic...- Hrocks

Recs for brake pads for 2015 Yukon 22" factory rims
Used to do many track events with my Corvette. Had huge Wilwood 6/4 Pot calipers. Swore by Performance Friction 93 compound pads. Got unbelievable pad and rotor life. (agree that the bedding process was critical) Based on many years experience using PFC race pads, I only use their "Highway"... -

Advice needed
I was hell bent on getting a Tahoe RST with Brembos to add to the mint GMT 900 2010 LTZ, that I"m keeping for my son to drive. I had read and really dug into all of the booming and vibration issues, but wanted to believe that GM had worked out a fix or a change in their process to eliminate...- Hrocks

13 LTZ needs new tires
I have had the Bridgestone Alenza factory tires on my 07" Escalade (22") and my '10 LTZ. (20") I replaced the Tahoe tires after 65,000 just because. I have a '16 Lexus GX that had factory Michelins that wore pretty quickly and replaced them with the same Bridgestones. (20") I'm obviously very... -

Power Slot Rotors / Hawk Pads
Guys, I used to do some amateur road racing and was a high performance in car driving instructor. As a result, I became obsessed with braking components. I ran a Corvette with 6 piston Wilwood calipers and two piece rotors in the front and heavily modified "stock" components in the rear. I...
