    Little vs big V8 2025 Tahoe

    I’d prob go with the diesel model. Premium is “recommended” in the 6.2 unless they changed the wording for 2025 in the manual and not “required” so you can run regular in it although the computer will adjust the timing and such and not run at its fullest without Premium. When you look in the...

    Yukon Stopped While Driving

    That’s just nuts. Not good at all. Hopefully you don’t have to wait too long for a replacement.

    DFM disabler released

    Some of the 22’s actually didn’t have DFM in them due to the great chip shortage. Not sure how many of those had it removed.

    2021 Tahoe not working right

    That’s not great. May have to pull the battery cable for a bit to get that to stop. If the starter is not turning the engine over after going through that kind of issue prior, kinda wonder if there’s something major going on with the engine. If it was a lifter that went bad (which I had...

    DFM disabler released

    It sounds interesting…there’s a little bit of an install process removing an ECU connector and fender liner. I was hoping more for a dish connector easy install. :) Curious how it works out for you. Thanks for the info on it.

    Yukon Stopped While Driving

    The bad belt noise, did it do that right when accelerating from a stop? My ‘21 just started to do that…doesn’t feel like a slipping transmission but just hear an odd chirp like from a belt all of a sudden.

    Pirelli Tire upgrade

    I did the same thing on my ‘21 Tahoe. Got a better deal on those tires compared to the Michelin at the time (dealer had a $120 rebate). I did that in the spring and have probably 6k miles on them so far. No issues at all. I did have a screw in one of them I needed patched, but I can’t blame...

    SiriusXM malfunctioning

    I’d be curious if you have it set to the regular radio if it does the same thing. It may not be an XM radio problem but an issue with erroneous inputs being detected on the touchscreen or through the remote buttons on the steering wheel.

    6.2L Lifter issue - ?

    On my ‘21 Tahoe half the lifters were replaced at 9,100 miles about a year into ownership after buying it new. So far, I’ve been lucky and have no issues 2.5 years later. I was very leery of them getting it right myself however so many of these 5.3 and 6.2L engines have lifter issues at some...

    2022 Tahoe Gurgling Noise Up Front (Engine?) Somewhere

    I’ve noticed hearing a gurgling in my 21 occasionally when driving it but I think for me it’s happening when the thermostat opens and it starts circulating coolant through the heater coil. The sound line makes is consistent with coming from the general area off center of the center console or...

    2024 Tahoe cranks but doesn't start _SOLVED

    That’s unusual. Sad you’re dealing with that on something practically new. Maybe try doing a master reset (pulling battery cable for an hour or so to drain it of all power) then see if it starts normally afterwards. If it does then maybe it’s something in the antitheft area.

    Help me decide (keep current or get new)

    It’s up to you. I thought about trading my ‘21 in for a ‘24 but the problem I’m struggling with is it’s basically the same thing unless I wait for the ‘25 refresh. Course going from a Tahoe to a Yukon would feel a lot different and nicer (but in the end it’s still the same dated platform now...

    Has anyone received an OTA update in 2024?

    I haven’t seen any OTA updates in my ‘21 for probably close to a year. Sadly some of those radio versions need to be done by the dealer. I know there’s an updated one for my ‘21 but if they don’t push it OTA I probably won’t get it. Sadly in my case, I don’t have the Google built in...

    Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.

    My ‘21 Tahoe had the Bridgestone 22” tires…they were garbage. Just driving around in drive pavement they’d chip or skip a little. Also had one of them get cut within 500 miles so the dealer replaced it for free under goodwill and another one had a nail in the sidewalk at about 10k miles. I...

    Another one on the Wireless Charger

    Also the latest 17.3 or 17.4 iOS update for iPhones does include a fix for wireless charging.

    USB PORTS

    Could be a size limitation (if you’re using a 2TB flash drive maybe try something smaller such as a 256 GB). It probably can only play certain types of media formats such as .mp3 or .m4a. I’d also make sure it’s formatted FAT32. My wife has a 2020 Traverse but its infotainment system is the...

    CarPlay no longer connecting

    Make sure you didn’t turn off WiFi in your car. If you disable the WiFi from broadcasting that turns off WiFi entirely which is what CarPlay uses. If you don’t subscribe to WiFi data/hotspot in the car make sure you turn off the option to share data related to the hotspot under the settings...

    40,000 Mile Report

    Vehicle mfg date is March 29, 2021 but the Julian build date on the engine is Feb 11, 2021 which is right in that window of known bad lifters. Here’s the hilarious part…while it was in the shop GM updated the TSB stating to replace all lifters if under 16k miles and it falls within the bad...

    CarPlay no longer connecting

    Maybe try removing your vehicle from under Settings - General - CarPlay on your phone and also remove it from under the paired devices area on your vehicle. Then go back through the pairing process. I’ve had to do that a few times when it acted up. Hasn’t happened to me though for awhile...

    40,000 Mile Report

    Nice report. My ‘21 Tahoe had the lifter issue at 9,100 miles but they only replaced half of the lifters or the affected bank/side. I keep thinking the other side will go bad soon but so far I’m at 28k miles and 3 years old and no issues at all. In fact if it wasn’t for the lifter issue...

    Radio and Turn Signal Audio Anomoly

    Just curious…do you know if that update exists for the 2021 model year Tahoe? Mine’s been doing that for awhile and they’ve applied a few updates to my system.

    Do you use your rear-view mirror in camera-mode?

    That is a very good point. It works great when the back window is covered in dust or snow. Somehow during snow driving the camera stays fairly clean and the rear wiper washer will squirt windshield cleaner on the camera to clean it.

    Can you turn off Auto Shutdown (eco mode)

    I just hit the button every time I get in. Yeah it sucks, but I've had my 2021 now for about 3 years and are very used to it to the point where you can see the button has some wear to it.

    Do you use your rear-view mirror in camera-mode?

    I've become pretty used to having the camera mode on. It's also nice when people are in the back as instead of seeing their heads in my vision I can actually see behind the vehicle. whenever I get another vehicle I think I'll make sure it has the video mirror. The downside of the mirror...

    New Tahoe owner looking for advice

    I'm not sure on that nav error. That's a bit odd. Could try re-seating the SD card which is located next to the USB ports below the screen. Unfortunately there's no way to update the maps without buying an updated SD card. I've been just ignoring the incorrect speed limits for a few roads...
