    New Member - New 2023 Tahoe Sterling Gray.....Escalade V Wheels

    For me, the biggest upgrades on my Tahoe was permanently disabling the engine auto stop/start. This helps the environment and makes the vehicle safer. I also permanently disabled the daytime running lights. The Tahoe looks a lot better with no lights during the day (don't do this in Canada). In...

    Should I put a grille guard on my Tahoe? is it worth it?

    The best way to improve the looks of your Tahoe is to disable the daytime running lights. That way it doesn't look like you're driving around a Christmas tree.

    Nav system

    To the maximum extent possible I have deleted all things Google from my vehicle. Simply use Apple CarPlay. If time is important to you, the Waze navigation system is the best. After that, the Apple navigation system is next. DEAD LAST, IS GOOGLE MAPS.

    Can you turn off Auto Shutdown (eco mode)

    I installed the auto stop device on my first day of owning my Tahoe. It works perfectly. It installs behind the dash near the light switch. The ONLY difficulty is pulling off the dash. See the Video online. It is held in with snaps, and can be hard to pull off unless you're strong. Disabling the...

    Service dog - how can I leave the engine running when I'm not in the car for longer than 20 minutes

    That procedure does NOT work on my Tahoe. You could buy Toyota, they don't have this bug.

    A few questions on my 2024 Denali

    I always change the oil at 500 miles and then 3,000 miles after that. On my first day of ownership, I permanently disabled, the daytime running lights and engine stop-start.

    How cold is it where you are today?

    76° in Hawaii. To charge your electric vehicle here is $1.10 per kilowatt which works out to about $16 per gallon gasoline. Gasoline is $4.20 a gallon.

    Do I need to plug in Tahoe/engine heater???

    I live in Texas, so the winters are not quite that cold. Although, as I write this, it's about 10° in Dallas. (I wish the government would take action about global cooling.) I spend my winters in Hawaii and my summers in California. I never do anything with any of my vehicles. One Tahoe, a...

    Upgrade for stock headlights

    I would exercise caution. I change the lights on my Tahoe to something brighter. People were constantly flashing their bright lights at me. My "bright" lights were not turned on. I was even stopped by the police one time. I went back to the factory lights. It just wasn't worth the hassle's.

    Remove Front License Plate Bracket - 2023 Yukon?

    Same situation here. I drilled out the rivets. I had a mobile body repair guy come by to fix the holes. It was about $400. It looks like it was never there. I would not go with hole plugs on a vehicle as nice as yours.

    Better Lighting

    My favorite lighting upgraded was disabling the Daytime Running Lights. I wish General Motors would do what Toyota does, "DRL off" right on the light switch.

    Now My DRLs Are Out.

    Considering all the efforts that many people make to disconnect or disable their DRL's, perhaps you should be happy. This would've saved me the trouble of programming them to be off.

    Retro chip installed

    I hated having that chip. I couldn't wait to remove it. I can't stand all the beeping. The camera is good for me.

    2016 Tahoe Upgrades/Issues

    Apple CarPlay is an interesting subject. Motor Trend magazine says 87% of car buyers will not even consider a vehicle without Apple CarPlay. Nevertheless, GM has announced plans that they will no longer include Apple CarPlay on future models. Shocking, but true.

Then I permanently disable Daytime Running Lights. Then remove all things Google to the maximum extent possible. Regarding Oil, I've been doing the...

    2018 Chevy Tahoe Police Edition

    A great feature of the police edition is, there's no need to modify the Daytime Running Lights. They are already programmed to be off. You will notice, most government, purchased vehicles have daytime running lights disabled.
