Michelin Defender Ltx
I just put on my 3rd set of Michelin Defenders and they are the go to tire for anyone with a tire issue. No road noise as you describe, great tire and great in the rain. It is one of the top rated tires period. Bridgestone and Goodyear were nightmares till I switched to Michelins defenders... -
Upgrades for better towing
I recently came out of a 2017 Denali which was a towing dream. That 6.2 w/ the 8 speed was one of the best towing rigs I have had in the under 7000 lb category. I hated the truck for several other reasons and actually was pretty happy coming back to a 2013 Suburban 5.3 w/ heavy duty tow 3.42...- Seamus

Allharexusa Tahoe headlights
That is a ridiculous price for headlights especially on an older vehicle with a lower value. Install these on your truck and try to get that investment back when selling? It has 1000 dollar headlights! Wont add one penny to your return. We all like quality and nice stuff, but this is literally... -
Ordering a new key fob
Oh it matters. But the older ones with less buttons are easier and share less Fcc codes. I have a 6 button and code FCC OUC60221....once of the least available codes. They are out there and on eBay for 20-30 dollars but they take a techII tool and cant get the new style fob only an old replacement.- Seamus

Ordering a new key fob
There are some models that are NOT compatible. I went to order the boostautopart fob today. I didn't see a listing for the suburban after 2011? Although they had it for the Yukon and escalade?? You also need a certain option code. I had the code? So I called and emailed them. Turns out the 2013...- Seamus

Black bear tune anyone increase MPG???
Thank you guys! Its a second vehicle here and we are loving it, but was a little shocked at seeing 13-14 at one point! Its been a long time since seeing that. There is no comparing my 2017 Denali XL to this truck. The Denali was very fast and got great gas mileage. If I was driven by just...- Seamus

Thanks for the detailed points guys. Keep them coming. Yes I forgot to mention it is Africa hot here and the AC is always on. So my MPGs are normal it seems ? I did see on one youtube video of a guy doing a AFM delete kit on a 5.3 with a stuck lifter stating they pick up 1-2 mpg?? To be...- Seamus

Black bear tune anyone increase MPG???
Hey guys, New to the forum but not to GM trucks. I have had many Gm trucks over the years and remember when 13 mpg was average. My last truck of this generation was a 2007 Sierra CC 5.3 w/ 3:42 gears averaged 14-15 mpg. Sold it in 2012 and have since owned a 2014 Silverado CC 5.3 3.08, -2015...- Seamus

2009 to 2011 Tahoe
I had a '15 Denali XL and it was one of the worst vehicles I have ever owned from GM. Booming, vibrations, radiator, AC condenser, terrible ride quality and about 10 other warranty issues. I spent 18 months warrantying it! So like an idiot I spec out a new '17 Denali XL. I cant tell you how much...- Seamus

Need pre filter for cabin air in addition to the cabin filter
I have seen pre filters on other cars years ago and they are a very porous foam very close to the air intake. Like a large cell foam. This keeps the air flowing but still catches some dust. If you actually put another restrictive filter, I don't think the blower can pull that much air and be...
