    Is a Ford F-150 Lightning EV or a Silverado EV a Good Alternative to a Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban.

    If you take the KWH in a gallon of gas,33KWH, the math works out to where you are basically driving around with a 4 gallon gas tank - 100KWH battery - per my brother in law who just retired from Ford after 33 years. (electrical engineer) So any way ya slice it, you have to conserve/make up for...

    Tow/haul I made sure was off by holding down the button for a full 10 second count AWD is noticeably different when I turn on/off so that’s eliminated Friend is a Service Manager and off tomorrow so he’s going to drive it hopefully he can figure it out based on his experience Update tomorrow!

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Drove it again today, there is some drag on the power, slight, but there, and the noise is more of a moan if you listen closely. Louder with the windows UP, so I'm thinking hub/differential, it kinda sounds like all wheel drive in engaged but it's not.

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Put it on jacks and both front wheels spin normally with no weird noises Tires maybe? I’m guessing bearings/hubs are ok because no noises up on jacks, correct me if I’m wrong on this still trying to figure it out

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Jacking it up an spinning the front wheel in a few minutes, we'll see if it wobbles or sounds like it's dragging. Just got back from driving it, doesn't pull either direction, and when you shift the weight around at 30mph by swerving, no difference in the sound. Sounds worse with the windows...

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Appreciate all the replies, I'll try jacking it up and spinning the wheel Drove 150 miles last night , all highway @ 80mph, barely noticeable but definitely there, feels kinda like when you put it in "tow" mode but it's not in tow mode, just a slight odd drag feeling. Tires look good, pressure...

    2017Tahoe 4x4 making weird low hum - front left

    Getting a weird low hum, not loud but annoying, seems to be from the Driver's side front wheel, nothing looks amiss though No pulling or shaking, and the caliper doesn't appear to be dragging, so shouldn't alignment or brakes, truck just feels "heavy" , checked tire pressure, put in premium...

    Rental Tahoe unlimited miles?

    I did well during the worst of COVID using Turo.com, peer-to-peer rentals, I got a Raptor in Denver for $500 for 2 days, when a Camry would have cost the same, at a retail rental place like Hertz Me and the wife both agree that 5k miles is just too much driving, we'd prefer to fly in, rent...

    I'm 6 ft 8 so anything smaller than a Tahoe is just torture on a road trip.

    Thinking I might just run as is and remember that the front is the back lol

    rotated tires - now tire pressure is telling me the wrong wheel/tire is low?

    After rotating front to back, the rear tire was low, 19 lbs, but dash showed the front tire as low Is there a reset for this? I thought the pressure sensor was related to the axle in some way, is it inside the wheel? Dumb question but I never really considered this.....

    Question - brakes for 2017 Tahoe LT?

    Just noticed my drivers side rear brake is dragging/slightly grinding, anyone know how much brakes should cost? Going to the dealer, 64k miles, probably getting pads all round Cost/upgrade ideas? Or should I just go stock? (and are Supply Chains causing any issues getting brakes done?)...

    Yukon denali short wheel or xl ....

    With no kids/pets, me and the wife love the short wheelbase, 4x4, but it's a 2017 U turns are like you're in a luxury Jeep Wrangler, and parking is a breeze. Our 3rd row literally has been "up" twice in 3 years, so plenty of space for us. Just my .02 cents.!

    How bad is your mileage towing an RV?

    Curious what you guys are towing, and how it affects the mileage? I get 20-22 on the highway, considering an RV, but since it's just me and the wife - at some point I'd be better off staying in hotels and skip the RV entirely. All repleis appreciated, thx!

    GM better come up with something better than their current engine lineups

    Thinking the electric transition is going to be front and center for all the OEMs going forward. Hanging on to my 5.3 as long as possible!

    Denali with 18” wheels?

    Since my never sees off-road, my 18's and Nitto all weather tires, ride beautifully. Stock look keeps the local police from giving a white Tahoe a second glance, I don't need to drive a ticket machine, 18's do everything I need. Personal preference, my Tahoe, my choice lol.....

    2017 Tahoe LT 4x4 54k miles - need cost and tune options please

    Interested in getting this tune, please advise. Last time I tuned a truck, was a 2001 Ford F250 Diesel - so let me know how I get the tune - last time was a physical "tuner" box, plugged into the ECU , so let me know. Total newbie to Black Bear - pretty sure things have changed since roughly 2006?

    I guess my question is how much would the afm delete help the longevity of the engine. From other threads I read it helps.
