    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    Great, thanks for all the info. I just noticed how bad this is getting so need to figuer out if I'm going to get it fixed and keep this rig, which I'd much prefer, or end up getting rid of it. I'd hate to spend the money on a ture just for the body to rust out.

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    I was just on their website. Is the $600 (Autocal) worth a mild tune if I don't plan on cam swap or force induction or anything like that?

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    My wife took the Tahoe this morning but when she gets back I'll post a picture of the RPO. The VIN is 1GNFK13049R244384

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    That was the only thing I could think of bit still seems odd it comes up as commercial trim. The insurance a D dealers run the VIN and ot returns as an LS.

    Rust on Fender

    Thanks. I live in the Seattle area so it's wet and rainy 8 months out of the year. The vehicle came from somewhere in Canada though. It has the Canadian flag on the battery and the window sticker is all in Canadian dollars. I have a buddy, who's dad owns a body shop in Oakland, and would repair...

    Bleeding the brakes

    The brakes felt fine before I replaced the pads so I assume it's air in the lines. I don't have a scam tool so I can't bleed the ABS Module my self.

    '09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

    Hey, I have a bone stock 2009 LTZ (at least that s what the badging says, VIN check says COMMERCIAL TRIM?) but its loaded (ie. heated/colled front seat, 4 captains chairs, rear captains are heated and power fold, power rear gate, power/heated mirrors) and tow a boat. What can I do without...

    Don’t forget to flush your brake system - 3yrs or 45k

    Oh I didn't drive it and soaked them in PB Blaster for 2 days before I started. I ended up going with the Duralast Max pads and resurfacing the rotors. I really like the durmast Max pads; they are quiet, haven't noticed any dust, really smooth and stop a lot better than the stock Delco's...

    Rust on Fender

    I have rust bubbles and discoloration on the left rear fender. I have zero experience with rust. Is this worth trying to get repaired? I'd love to keep this '09 LTZ but if it's going to rust out I'll plan on upgrading.

    Don’t forget to flush your brake system - 3yrs or 45k

    I recently replaced pads all the way around and had to replace all bleeders as well. They were rusty, stuck and all rounded. Luckily I was able to get them out with some big vice grips. I got some speed bleeders and they suck so I ended up getting some stock ones and put them back in. I had the...

    Bleeding the brakes

    I replaced all 4 brakes and bled them as normal and can't get them to feel like normal. I've bleed them multiple times and still nothing (have to double pump to get a normal felling pedal) so I'm going to have the dealer bleed it. From what I've looked up they hook a laptop up to the Tahoe and...

    Mishimoto 1999-2014 GMT800/900 Performance Radiator R&D

    Any oil temp numbers. Will you also be selling the required hosing to plumb the oil to the cooler if our trucks don't currently have an oil cooler radiator? I tow a boat and would like to be able to cool oil as well.

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    This is the left rear fender. Is this even worth try to get repaired? I've never messed with rust before.

    Gas Mileage on trip.

    In my '09 LTZ from Seattle to Denver I average 15.3 mpg. I am by no means easy on it but do use cruise control most of the time. Two adults, a teenager, 5 year old and two year old with all of our stuff. That straight through, about 19 hours.

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    I hope so too but if not I'll replace the cable. It's not too expensive or difficult. Thanks for the heads up.

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    The dealership said they did a load test and said it was good.

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    The blend door works intermittently. The heated seat stopped working when the sun roof was left open over night and it rained. Both front seats got wet, the drivers side starting working again but the passenger side hasn't in the last year. I'm not sure what part to replace for they yet though.

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    No issues at all today. Hopefully cleaning the terminal and posts did the trick. Time will tell.

    Even if it tests good? Scanner said "Good" "100%"

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    I looked up the The Big 3 mod and would like to do that but holly hell that cable is $500 a spool. I'd love to keep this Tahoe for a long time but I do have some rust cancer on the left rear fender that is bubbling under the pain and I can see a rust color on the Diamond White paint. I'm not...

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    It doesn't act like a bad stater. Especially since it fires right up with a jump and showing low bus. I'll give it a go if it happens again after cleaning the terminals and posts though.

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    So just cleaned the terminals. There wasn't any corrosion but the terminals and posts did have like a tarnish covering them. I used some sandpaper and got the terminals and posts nice and shiny. I'll see if that makes a difference over the next few days. I put the battery tender back on it...

    Here are pics of each terminal. Nice and clean.

    Battery Acts Dead but tests Good

    You think its something as simple as a bad connection? I pulled the terminal off the first time I did a battery tender charge and the terminals and posts were nice and clean, no corrosion.
