    3-Hour Battery change

    All I’m saying is look around. Any “newer” vehicle and I can assure you that it is not strictly a GM thing with cheapo parts and bad designs that are indeed designed to fail. Fact is that vehicles are lasting much longer than they did decades ago — but the corner cutting on practically...

    AFM Disabler differences?

    range probably has the best reputation for AFM disable besides an actual AFM delete via tune. Sometimes you get a good deal, and other times you get what you pay for. ask yourself this question — are you willing to gamble or go with the tried and true ? Not saying the generic wouldn’t...

    3-Hour Battery change

    what did you want them to say? “here at GM, we’re focused on engineering cheapie brittle parts with the most important components guaranteed to fail and outsourcing to the poorest quality assembly to pad our corporate income at the expense of our sucker customers” sorry I guess I am just...

    How often do you go WOT aka "Italian tune up"?

    I guess I’m somewhere in the middle of most of you guys. Can’t say that I *always* dog my vehicles out nor do I *always* baby them. it just depends on the conditions and my mood. If I’m relaxed, low traffic, short runs or highway driving I usually take it pretty easy on the ol’ girls. Any...

    Emergency: Reverse button broken, won’t shift into reverse

    try to put it in neutral, then push it back far enough so that you can put in drive and get out .. you shouldn’t need too much clearance just to get out of a parallel park

    Just throw some distilled water in there it’ll be fine

    Pateena

    My rule of thumb is if the vehicle has “metal bumpers” then patina can look cool on it. fake patina is lame though. My silverado is developing a subtle patina in a straight line section about ~24 inches on top of the quarter panel/bed from damage from a storm almost 15 years ago. No body...

    Talk to me about Rims...

    For starters if changing the tires is a non-option and you have tires for 20” rims then you will not be able to size up to 22 or 24 inch rims, you’ll have to stick with 20’s.

    Practical repurpose of second battery ?

    Smart, I didn’t think to look through the upfitter guide. I skimmed through the guide and the only mention of anything isolation is this little bit when mentioning l electrical equipment: “Isolated, Auxiliary 730 CCA, 70 amp-hour battery without battery run-down protection for customer...

    Practical repurpose of second battery ?

    I was looking for some advice or ideas on what could I do with the second battery on a Tahoe PPV. Does anyone know what relays/modules are routed to the secondary battery (if any) from the factory? I figure its intended use from the factory would be for upfitting, to power emergency equipment...

    Is It Worth Replacing High-Mileage Injectors?

    Almost 400k on injectors is a lot. Unless every single aspect of the motor and fuel system has been perfectly maintained, it’s probable that the injectors probably have at least some build up constricting flow or preventing that precise conical spray pattern. A good clean would probably do you...

    Wow, get a second opinion. Don’t tell the new mechanic what the dealer said.

    Towing with a rental Tahoe

    Not gonna lie, this is actually the thought that popped into my head. With all the hi-tec telemetry and the such the rental companies are using to communicate with the vehicles nowadays I’m surprised they don’t have a complete log of every sensor and readings such as the RPM’s and towing mode...

    OEM parts on Amazon?

    Of course you have obviously counterfeit items, but then you have counterfeit items that look more legitimate than the actual legit product! The obvious counterfeits aren’t much of an issue to the trained eye, but nowadays some clones are virtually undetectable from aesthetics alone. They look...

    2019 Tahoe reliability

    The brakes and rotors could fail at any time? If they haven’t ever been changed at a quarter million miles, then no sh*t. As previously mentioned in this thread, that’s a consumable part. As far as the transmissions, I’ll take my chances with the 6L80e over the 4L60e, or worse, the 700r4, any...

    New Update Fried My Entire Info & Sound System!!

    Well I think the first course of action would be to take it back to the dealer and see what they say. At least then you know what you’re looking at. Regardless, obviously make clear that you don’t intend to pay for the diagnosis and repair and put pressure on them to fix it timely. Is the...

    GMC sierra 2002 5.3L 1500

    THIS^^^^^. Always gap your plugs or at least verify they are the correct gap if they are “pre-gapped”. Also, don’t bother with the iridium. As others have said, Double Plats would be a good replacement for OEM. AC/Delco is GM brand. Rockauto says copper plug for GM original equipment ...

    DFM disabler released

    With the Range unit plugged in/installed, if you put the vehicle to the “run” position and the CEL comes on, then I would say … that the CEL would still be working. At least I’m hoping there is no truth to what they are saying.

    Anyone with a silver Tahoe ?

    Is the judge going to throw out the ticket if you removed it? If not, just say “no”, pay the fine, and keep trucking.

    Ran out of gas! 2008 LTZ

    OK, a couple things just to add to this, 1.) As we might know, electric fuel pumps in the tank cell itself have pretty much been the standard for most vehicles for the past few decades. Electric fuel pumps need fuel to keep them cool, as in the pump itself needs to be submerged in fuel. In...
