    Do you get what you pay for in Tires

    If there is any negative with the Defenders is that they look a little like RV Delivery PU high mileage tires, not upscale SUV tires. Thay being said, they are overall still the best choice if you don't want to look for tires again for a long time. On most tires, treadwear ratings are overrated...

    Is there a thread with dealers charging msrp vs a market adj?

    Heck our local KIA dealer in swfl has a mandatory 15k markup on all Tellurides... and still sells them!.... on a 48K vehicle! I personally would search wide and take a trip out of state. There are certainly more logical dealers out there. Hard part is finding something you will actually want to...

    illuminated running boards

    Ambient light level. They don't turn on in daylight, at least not on my vehicle.

    Silverado’s are built in Ft Wayne, IN….

    2022 6.2 High Country - Low Oil, Likely Blown Motor

    While I agree this is a good point, after living with a vehicle for 6 mo to a year and a few oil changes, you have a pretty good feel as if it uses oil or not. Once I'm comfortable with its usage (or non usage...) I only check them about once a month if that. They are always full and on mark. I...

    Article - Android Automotive goes mainstream: A review of GM’s new infotainment system

    Thats why I'm glad I have the 21 system. Has done all we require with much less limitations. Plays USB, plays Firestick, Mirrors phone/iPad, doesn't care about available "Apps". Newer ain't always better...

    Leaking fuel filler line

    I'll let the dealer deal with it, just in case there is more to it than is obvious. Plus, I put a few more things on his list while it's in there.

    Supercruise owners, thoughts?

    I turned my LKA off the 2nd day I owned it. Don’t need a nanny telling me how to steer. Wouldn’t use if it did work good… At least when you turn it off it stays off…..

    21 Tahoe- fan come on "high" when i start vehicle

    There is a setting in settings where you can turn the fan down upon start up that limits it blasting even in auto…. Look for it… I did the same… doesn’t go nuts now….

    Supercruise owners, thoughts?

    It's great and fully functional. And "Free". With SC you are not paying "**** for maps and updates", you are also paying monthly to use it. Paying for updates would be a sporadic event and might even be palatable if it wasn't outrageously priced. I mean in all reality how much do people really...

    Supercruise owners, thoughts?

    Ab so Ducking Lutely..... Once I pay for an option (Especially a 2500.00 option..) It should be for the life of the vehicle like adaptive cruise or Air suspension. I may have to pay for occasional map upgrades, but the original package of maps supplied with the vehicle should work for life...

    Supercruise owners, thoughts?

    And when the 3 years runs out you will pay monthly to keep using it for as long as you own the vehicle or your 2500.00 option is useless…

    And probably come with a separate monthly subscription cost!

    Leaking fuel filler line

    Started to notice a drip on the garage floor that looked like oil. Slipped underneath, and see that it appears to be coming from the large fuel filler line that goes to the tank. The whole line is greasy and slippery from about the time it turned horizontal till it goes to the tank. Finally got...

    2022 Z71 Suburban 6.2L bent lifters

    Quality engines don't have AFM/DFM or whatever the latest moniker is today, and don't drop lifters before the new car smell is gone... I also remember for sure in the last five years, where diesel and regular unleaded were within 5 to 10 cents of each other. And way less than unleaded premium...

    2022 Cadillac Escalade blown engine!

    When I was still working I asked my local career center leader send me the top three candidates you have in your metals class and I will give them an apprenticeship in my business. He pulled me to the side, and quietly said, there isn’t a single kid in this class that I would recommend to you...

    2022 Lifter Issue? - w/video, out of state issue (edit: thrust bearing broke)

    I absolutely feel for you, but you really can’t expect Lexus level service. It’s a tough spot being at an out of state dealer who’s service department is already loaded, with a not easy to fix problem. Do what you have to do to get home, and see if your car insurance might not cover some. It...

    Which Tahoe Should I choose?

    That’s exactly right, in 5 to 7 years when this vehicle shakes down in the used market, people will say “ What is super cruise?“ That’s archaic! And the kid that buys it Will be like… we don’t care about that, we just want dubs on it….

    Which Tahoe Should I choose?

    Unless I can read a book or nap and arrive safely at my destination. Uhhh… I’ll drive myself. The majority of your life isn’t spent on interstates.

    Which Tahoe Should I choose?

    A 4wd is almost always far more desirable in these than a 2wd. My dealer told me to always buy a 4wd even if you’ll never use it. You will get your money back at trade or sell time. People expect these to have it…. SuperCruise=waste of money….

    What options are/are not dealbreakers for you?

    I’m sayin the allocation of diesels to that model year will be low also and many will be ordered and sit for eons like current orders. They will also be restricted by ordering combos that GM will be slow to fulfill. If you can get your hands on one today, there is zero reason not to, unless you...

    2022 Cadillac Escalade blown engine!

    While I try to fix my own things too and mostly agree with you, I can tell you, you are a part of the dying “I’ll do it myself” generation. I guess I am too…It ain’t gonna be replicated. if you are under 40 today, you are tech savvy, TikTok savvy, and maybe mow your own yard with an EV mower if...

    2022 Cadillac Escalade blown engine!

    Ha Ha…. A pretty fair share of society can’t even change a switch plate cover, let alone fix their own appliances! Where we are a repair person is always at least 2-4 weeks out and that’s just to diagnose it. Most just replace them if they are generic pieces…

    2022 Cadillac Escalade blown engine!

    A big regional supplier of appliances down here in SW Florida told us that all the appliances are made to such a lousy standards now that if you get anything over 5 to 6 years out of a new appliance, consider yourself lucky unless you’re buying super high end like wolf or subzero. The waiting...
