    Auto mode turns on 4x4 mode

    I'd check Tire pressures all the way around. When I bought my Tahoe it had 4 mismatched tires and did that.

    Hitch Box vs. Roof Box

    I watched most of a video on etrailer showing the system. It looks pretty sweet. I didn't watch the whole thing so I don't know if they addressed stabilizing the mount into your hitch. The hitch usually has a fair amount of play that can let a carrier wobble and aside from noise can change...

    2010 Yukon Denali Hybrid Suspension (MAGNERIDE)

    Honestly I can't remember if I went OE or Arnott from Rock Auto (who sponsors this forum and regularly posts their discount code here.)

    2010 Yukon Denali Hybrid Suspension (MAGNERIDE)

    I just replaced all 4 corners om my 2009 with the proper pieces including the rear springs. The improvement over blown air shocks with 230k miles is insane. That said I wanted to keep my self leveling feature and was curious about magneride. If I wasn't towing frequently I might have gone with...

    Traction control off --> better drive ability

    My Tahoe has been slow to respond to the throttle in turns and curves for a while. Recently I turned off traction control on a friend's bumpy gravel driveway because I was fighting that problem just going straight. Note that no lights flashed telling me it was active. It drove much better. No...

    Parking Brake SNAFU

    Just another point to consider. I was parking my Tahoe on a steep hill and really stood on the parking brake. Something went pop and my foot went to the floor. No parking brake. In East Tennessee! Eventually I took the rear brakes apart and couldn't see anything. I looked at the pedal...

    Sad front differential??

    He did say front AND rear.

    2008 Suburban Engine Swap - 6.0 to 6.2

    I was told you can't but my neighbor reminded me tonight that he know people with 6.2 Yukons that run regular. I think I need to contact Black Bear...

    2008 Suburban Engine Swap - 6.0 to 6.2

    If I had to choose again I'd rather have the 6.0. There's no telling how big that extra hit for premium will go and that's every fill up for the life of the truck.

    2008 Suburban Engine Swap - 6.0 to 6.2

    My '09 5.3 didn't include VVT. It and AFM were on the 6.2 I put in. Texas Speed had a deal on the LS9 cams and I included that with a kit to remove AFM. I definitely lost low end torque even compared to the 5.3!

    Oh and I wish I had worked out keeping VVT.

    2008 Suburban Engine Swap - 6.0 to 6.2

    Having dropped a 6.2 into my Tahoe you might want to consider the at least 60 cent a gallon difference between regular gas which runs fine in a 6.0 vs the required premium for the 6.2. There are plenty of threads in here about people trying to run less than premium in the 6.2.

    What are your must-do things on new-to-you gmt900?

    Something odd I learned when I bought my '09 was that the cruise control didn't work because the secondary brake light switch for trailer brake lights was bad. Also, the tires on mine were in poor condition and mismatched. When I tried to use the automatic 4 wheel drive selection the truck...

    Torque Pro APP question

    I see that almost hanging in there.

    Torque Pro APP question

    I don't know about the rest of you guys but I can barely remember to unplug mine right after I use it. Come to think of it my first reader was probably still plugged in on the Sierra I traded for my Tahoe. 7 years ago.

    Torque Pro APP question

    I discovered that not all OBDii readers are created equal. I don't remember what my first one was but it was very limited. Luckily I managed to lose it and was all prepared to buy a really expensive one. I searched online and found reviews that pointed me to a really cheap one that's way more...

    Building the SS(V) TrailHoe

    I hope he's somewhere cool and comfortable. I was going to say dry after all the rain in East TN but then I remembered it's too dry way out West.

    Stupid strut nut: install on bilstein 5100?

    Yeah I put my big impact wrench to work on one of mine. I learned the shaft unscrews part way down the shaft.

    GMT900 Factory SUV Suspension Options

    So you have to do a reset manually to store readings? That suggests that to soften the ride you do the reset with a load so that at lower load levels it allows the vehicle to return to the baseline level more easily.

    GMT900 Factory SUV Suspension Options

    Somewhere there must be documentation telling what the baseline reading should be. Dealers checking to see why some whiner owner is complaining about a stiff ride need to be able to check that. Worn sagging springs would affect the setting I would bet. Unless part of the startup is to check the...

    And this happened recently

    You know I realized after I posted that I didn't remember seeing any when I had my rear bumper cover off. Sorry for my confusion. It's one of the reasons manufacturers like to produce trucks and SUVs. Not the same rules.

    And this happened recently

    I'm pretty sure they're one time use. Most insurance companies automatically pay for them after a front or rear collision.
