    How many miles on it? Did he actually show you what was wrong?

    Transmission fluid flush/change at 160,000 miles

    I NEVER change transmission fluid and would not be afraid of this vehicle. I've had a few transmission failures in my nearly 2 million miles of driving, and NOT A SINGLE ONE WAS DUE TO NOT CHANGING THE FLUID. Every failure was due to some sort of part breaking inside. Replacing fluid that old...

    Exhaust Manifold Bolts No Bueno

    How do you put M12 bolts in M10 holes? Drill and tap every hole? PITA!

    Need help guys...ckunk sound when coming to a stop

    Sounds like dry splines on the driveshaft where it goes into the transmission. When the brakes are applied, the axle torques up and pulls the driveshaft out a little bit. You can verify that this is your problem by shifting into neutral before coming to a stop. If the problem goes away, you...

    The Unexplainable, Unresolved issue an expert LS builder and Dealership can't figure out

    Don't know about an alcohol smell, but my Tahoe sometimes has a smell of melting crayons. I get this even with the AC on, so I don't think somebody dropped a crayon into the ventilation system.

    What bulbs are people using to replace the DRL bulbs? LED?

    I got tired of replacing them every 6 months--so I don't!

    Want To Buy but Question About Mileage

    When I look for a vehicle to buy, 100K is where I start looking. My current Tahoe had 90K+ miles, my current Suburban had about the same. Mechanical problems haven't really been a problem, rather, all the plastic crap in the interior that literally crumbles in your hand when it gets old...

    More than ever confusion

    Sounds to me like both of you prefer the Expedition. Go ahead and buy it. Come back a year from now and tell us you still like it.

    Not Happy With '17 Tahoe LT...

    I honestly don't think GM engineers ever drive the vehicles they design. If they did, they wouldn't come out with shiny instrument panels that blind you with glare when it's sunny. They wouldn't come out with instrument lights that are blindingly bright on the instruments, yet so dim you can't...

    Tahoe / Yukon Replacement Knee Bolster

    I was recently working on my '09 Tahoe's dash and took off the Knee Bolster (plastic panel under the steering column). Actually, I didn't take it off, it was so old and brittle that it virtually shattered into more than 20 pieces. I tried to find a new one and learned that they're...

    When they tell you it's time to replace your brake lines...

    I didn't think the computer would let you shift to Reverse if you had any significant forward speed, but I've never tried it. Of course, shifting to Park won't do anything, as the parking pawl will just bounce off the teeth of the ring on the output shaft.

    How To Disable OnStar?

    Thanks for the quick reply, Wes! I'll look into it.

    How To Disable OnStar?

    When I got my company truck, I asked a technician at the dealer how to disable the OnStar system. He didn't know, but suggested just unplugging the antenna. There doesn't appear to be a separate fuse for just the OnStar system. My company works with explosives, and having the OnStar...

    08 Transmission Flush

    I don't believe in changing transmission fluid. If you've waited this long, you'll probably end up with seal problems after they soak a while in new fluid. I've had a number of transmission failures--NONE of them fluid related. Don't waste your money.

    Looking to buy 1st Tahoe or Tahoe and have some questions

    Those cracks look too uniform to me to not have been made that way. However, I just went and looked at my 2009 Tahoe and it does NOT have them. The exhaust manifold bolts on these engines are notorious for breaking, too. I've had 4 Suburbans and 2 Tahoes. The Tahoes are much easier to park...

    Bent Wheels = Pissed Off

    I see that you're in Crosby, Texas. If you ever drive in Midland, the roads will tear up your wheels. I've cracked two factory aluminum rims on my truck. Thinking about going with steel wheels on my next truck. Our roads absolutely suck!

    interior lights do not come on with rear doors

    The dome lights on my 2009 Tahoe have stopped coming on when the doors are opened. They come on when the instrument panel dimmer is cranked all the way up. I've pushed the button in & out multiple times and no change. The lights worked fine until my wife took it in for a vehicle safety...

    B.S. or True??

    Those wheels have to come from China, and boats aren't that fast. Be glad the wheel is under warranty, I had to buy one and it was $650! PLUS I had to pay a $50 CORE CHARGE (refunded when I returned the cracked rim). I thought Chinese stuff was supposed to be cheap...
