    2015 resale value?

    Hi, We have a Silver 2015 Tahoe LT 4x4 with most options such as Bose, 18" wheels, black leather interior, etc. We own it outright. It has maybe 3000 miles. I'm really not a fan of it and would like to get an older Escalade or a Jeep Rubicon. Does anybody know a good asking price for this? I...

    what oil Brand do you use on your Rig?

    I need to modify my answer. Since I've upgraded my two main cars I now use Mobile full synthetic 0W-40 in both the BMW and Tahoe. It is around $26 a jug at Walmart.

    Long wait over.. Tahoe LTZ on route - what are must have accessories?

    I just found the cargo net in the back of our 2015 after having it 4 months. Check compartment behind rear seats. WeatherTech mats are great too.

    New 2015i Yukon SLT 4WD

    Nice Tahoe. I'm doing a silver/black 2015 4x4 too. I don't have an answer on the liftgate. Glad your nav is working now.

    Overfilled or Underfilled Transmission Fluid Causing Poor Shifting?

    Yes an overfill and underfill can cause problems. Yes you should change the fluid. The manual says every 50K if its a taxi or in extreme heat. 100K if normal wear. You can not change it if you like rebuilding the transmission.

    Off Road questions

    Be careful. Mud can cause surprising issues. These include ruined engine and electrical failures. The risk to reward ratio is high.

    Trouble turning hard right in 4x4

    The jerking and trouble should go away if you drive your truck in 4x4 on dry pavement and it breaks an axle again. The trouble turning is normal unless it's due to a locker engaging at the wrong time.

    Are you a keeper or seller

    Seller. I'll run it up to a mileage I'm no longer comfortable with and list it on Craigslist for the price I paid. It might take several months but someone eventually buys it. In the end I'm out my maintenance costs. This system has been working well. I've never had a car payment in my life.

    blew my rear end in my truck

    G2 is nice. I have that cover on an axle. I usually run generic 75 or 80-90 oil. I don't do synthetic as it isn't needed. Check Detroit's recommendation. I know ARB required something different. The purple oils (Mystic or Royal Purple) are considered premium I believe. Mystic is cheaper. I've...

    Buyer's Remorse - 2015 Denali XL

    As a BMW fan I see your points about your Yukon. I treated my Escalade and I treat my Tahoe like trucks. They're nice trucks and we're rough on them. They have good drivetrains. They aren't as refined as my BMW. They're different. Due to family size we need one. Why don't you get rid of yours...

    Finally did it, Yukon Hybrid!

    Looks great.

    blew my rear end in my truck

    I only put fancy diff covers on my rock crawler where it needs them. Why not just paint the stock cover and use it?

    3rd row seat....won't release

    None of my seats worked when I bought my Escalade. I cleaned and then heavily greased them. I worked the grease into every joint. It made them work easily. This is also something you should do on your door hardware. Get a grease gun and some cue tips and go crazy.

    Yukon Denali vs Infiniti QX80 quietness

    (Not defending Tahoe over Escalade; I drive an Escalade too) The Tahoe's camera is pretty good in the garage too. The camera is amazingly wide. It warns and shows things to the side. ---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ---------- I've been curious about...

    Extended Warranties on our 2015s?

    I have never owned a new car, never planned on owning a new car and I drive 20k+ miles a year. I'm going to burn through my 36,000 mile warranty quickly. Are you guys doing extended warranties? If so, where?

    Tranny fluid, to change or not to change

    I did a full fluid swap using the line by the air breather. It was so damned easy. I used the clear tube from my aquarium vaccuum. Was able to see the fluid change from black to pink. I knew it was clean. Did the servo mod after that. It shifts great and I can trust it for a long time. Bummer...

    Yeah, Denali XL finally arrived!!!

    Looks great. I can't figure out the format either.

    14 bolt rear ends?

    I was reading that our 2015s have a new 9.5" ring gear. I believe this was previously found in 14 bolt semi float 1 ton and 3/4 ton trucks. Some of ours have electric lockers too. As a guy who does axle work on my 4x4 jeep, I'm impressed to have a "minivan" with a disc brake, selectable locker...

    Voltage gauge

    I've noticed this in mine. I wondered if the alternator disconnected when not needed to save energy. I know some Chryslers do this.

    Thermostat Temp Increase

    I'm not sure when they increased it but I like it. My older Escalade is well below 200. This is 210. We're all enjoying the improved heat.

    2015 V8 acceleration slow?

    Had 5 of us 200lb+ guys in it at lunch the other day. I punched the gas pretty good from a stop and it did pretty well. I think one of the problems, for me is going to the 6 speed. In my Escalade I can feel the torque throughout a gear. If I get on the gas after a turn or passing, this truck...

    First real distance drive...

    That is pretty sweet! I'd love to have that on my jeep rock crawler. We'd try for 90 degrees. The last menu option "info" allows you to choose which information is shown. Transmission temp is an option.

    Subwoofer

    Just picked up a 2015 with Bose and have a sub out of another car. I'm ready to throw it in this thing. Curious to know the best route too...

    Actual fuel economy

    I still have less than 300 miles. This is from a 110 mile trip.

    2015 V8 acceleration slow?

    I've noticed that my 2002 with 160K has more pep than my 2015 with the 5.3. I can't compare apples to apples yet though because I can't get on it yet. The truck definitely feels heavier and like there is less torque right now. At 355hp rating I expect this to change.
