    Reprogramming Trans on 09 w/5.3

    I'm getting around 18.5 average per tank mostly cruising at 75 on the interstate and a bit of around town driving now. Pat in Tennessee

    Reprogramming Trans on 09 w/5.3

    I'm near Knoxville, TN. In fact that's where I commute to from Baneberry weekdays. I'm pretty pleased with the performance from my 5.3. I do dream of being forced to replace it with a 6 or 6.2. No money for that kind of thing though. :-) Pat in Tennessee

    Reprogramming Trans on 09 w/5.3

    I'm at 170K miles. I bought it with over 150K miles a year ago on the 4th of July. I don't know much about its history and haven't changed the trans fluid. It seems to work well except it really wants to upshift and save gas. No access to any decent scan tools. I have a blue tooth scanner for...

    Reprogramming Trans on 09 w/5.3

    I suspect it has to do with meeting CAFE standards and saving gas. If I take off from a light somewhat briskly things are great. Almost nobody else does that so that's rarely what happens. Instead we leave a light on idle and a little while later start to gain some speed. By that time my truck...

    Battery keeps dying

    Can batteries still short a cell like the old days when plates could warp? Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk

    Battery keeps dying

    A friend was at a shop describing his similar problem when a mechanic popped his head out of a car he was working on and asked if he had a Tahoe. He does. Apparently there's a separate amp that can sometimes stay on when you turn the key off. That was what his problem was. It's usually the NNBS...

    01” Xl cruise lights up but not engage

    Hm. Bummer. Is there anything plugged into your trailer connection in the back?

    Create hard mounting points atop A pillar?

    That option is certainly cheaper than paying someone to take down the headliner, cut a hole/slot in the roof and mount in something more solid. I'll have to do some checking. I'll have to talk to some of my buddies to see if any of them has extricated someone from a NNBS Tahoe/Yukon and has...

    Create hard mounting points atop A pillar?

    If this is only attached to the sheet metal there I'd be afraid of dropping a 32' ladder up there and having it twist off to the side leaving me with damage. I've seen some cars cut up and know there's a significant amount of structure up there. I want to tie in to more of that. Thanks for...

    Create hard mounting points atop A pillar?

    My Tahoe would be a lot more useful if I could have a roof rack bar up just above the windshield. Are there any experts on the structure up there? I'd love to just have a little but sturdy lug that I could bolt a crossbar onto with a little riser to match the height of the stock roof rack. I...

    Still your brake light switch. Change it.

    Tire mismatch on AWD

    When I bought my 2009 Tahoe - 4wd, not awd - it had different brands of tires front and rear. At first it was not a problem then I swapped front and rear. It caused a skipping feel when I ran in automatic 4 wheel drive. That locks in the hubs I think I later learned. Mounting 4 matched Michelin...

    After market hu with stock back up camera question

    Is there an easy way to turn the backup camera on while driving? I have a 2009 LTZ with nav and backup camera. I'd like to be able to peek at my trailer sometimes.

    Rear A/C failure. Sounds coming from engine compartment.

    Can I tuck a question about rear AC into your thread? My 2009 LTZ keeps turning on the rear AC when I start it on hot days. Is that normal? Could there be a rear seat sensor picking up the weight of my turnout gear on the back seat? Sorry to borrow your thread but I thought someone reading...
