    47,000 miles - should I do all or none of these???

    Update - I did ALL the services, trans, both differentials, transfer case, etc. And the truck shifts better, and all around just feels better, well worth the $$$ Noticed a difference immediately the first time I had to punch it to pass a Snowbird down here in Clearwater, shifts are definitely...

    47,000 miles - should I do all or none of these???

    This dealer has been super-good on being honest in the service department, so I went with the total fluid change, since it was a Hertz rental for the first 31k miles, cheap insurance. 5 stars for Dick Norris Buick/GMC in Clearwater FL !!! Plus I intend to keep this truck until the wheels fall...

    47,000 miles - should I do all or none of these???

    Ok, well I decided to just get it all done and over with, the extra warranty is provided by the fluid manufacturer, so it's good anywhere . After mulling it over, decided that $650-ish was better than wondering if I am going to have any problems, and since I have no desire to do it myself, I...

    47,000 miles - should I do all or none of these???

    Is the transfer case running the same fluid as the trans? I read somewhere that transmission and transfer case for the front wheels are the same fluid Excuse my ignorance about this , it's been a while since I've wrenched on anything.....

    47,000 miles - should I do all or none of these???

    Agree. Think I am going to wait a couple months until Florida cools down, then try the differentials myself(it's hurricane/monsoon season here, and 92+ every day, not exactly the environment to be laying on the ground lol). If it's looking like a pain, then I can always hit up the dealer...

    47,000 miles - should I do all or none of these???

    Yes, correct. I think I'm going with the trans/transfer case and see if I can either do the differential myself or find a better price. But I kinda want the dealer on the hook for warranty-ing the transmission and transfer case.

    47,000 miles - should I do all or none of these???

    So I stopped at the dealer and got the following quotes: Trans Flush - $199 Rear diff service - $159 Front diff service - $99 Rear diff service - $189 So we're looking at $650+ tax, but the dealer said if done before 50k miles, I will get a "credit" towards future repairs, if I do these every...

    Is it possible that this Tahoe has 4WD/AWD? (pic of dash)

    Not really something I need to care about, as long as I can use it 2 or 3 times a year and not worry about getting stuck on a little beach sand. Nice to have if I ever need it but it's pretty irrelevant to me to know the technical side "I'd rather pick the fruit than spend time studying the...

    Is it possible that this Tahoe has 4WD/AWD? (pic of dash)

    I'm no expert but here's a pic of my dash showing 2wd/Auto/4wd Bought it from Hertz 2+ years ago, so it could have been a special fleet package, it is what it is.....

    Best street tires for 2017 Tahoe LT?

    Thinking about just replacing the Michelin Defenders, unless anyone suggests otherwise? Stock aluminum 18" wheels, 4x4, but it's mostly city and highway trips to Georgia, only off road action is light sand if I go to the beaches around Tampa Bay. No towing involved whatsoever. Any...

    Just hit 46,500 miles, what service would you get done?

    Should I just change the trans fluid, or "flush" Want to make sure I don't get a wallet flushing lol Probably going to get new Michelins all around, is Tire Rack the best way to go?

    Just hit 46,500 miles, what service would you get done?

    I have to go in for a recall fix anyways, so going to get the oil changed and air filter/cabin filter(I am 6'8' with catcher's mitts for hands, and limited mechanical ability, so I don't work on it at all) 5.3L , 4x4, LT, I don't tow, and it's primarily a daily driver in the city, with a once a...

    2017 Tahoe..45K MILES - To Flush or Not to Flush Trans?

    Sounds like a yes, I will be having the dealer do it, so I don't think they will use any harsh Flush additives, and the warranty coverage should keep me safe until 60k miles. Appreciate the replies!

    Anyone ever experience trans issues AFTER the flush/fluid change?

    2017 Tahoe..45K MILES - To Flush or Not to Flush Trans?

    Advice needed, my friend who works as a Ford service manager said the fluids are designed to last 100,000 miles, and after 100,000 miles I would run the risk of knocking some debris loose and destroying the trans. Its a 2017 6 speed 4x4. With 45k miles, I would have 15k left on the powertrain...

    Is this rust a dealbreaker? 06 Z71 90k

    PASS! I bought a Jeep Cherokee like that and the problems never ended, brake lines, frozen calipers, the computer ECM was even corroded, weird noises, etc. It was disclosed as a Canadian vehicle and I thought nothing of it, as I lived in Michigan for 30 years, but that rust can just create a...

    Anyone selling new wheels and tires? (if you bought aftermarket immediately)

    Thanks, but I am 100 yards from the ocean , so chrome tends to get corroded really fast, prefer to get aluminum or something that will hold up with the salt air. My Hemi Charger Chrome wheels would get oxidation every 2 weeks if I didn't stay on top of washing them.

    2017 Tahoe LT 5.3 4x4 - what trans do I have?

    Dumb question, but wondering if its the 6 speed or 8 speed, all I have on my dash display is "D" and "L" , and I can't really count the gear shifts as I drive. Do I have the 6 speed or 8, and what should I be looking out for/what am I in for down the road? 44k miles, no issues, but planning on...
