    BMW 530d

    I will have to rent a Benz diesel my next visit. Turbodiesels now are excellent. All the old disadvantages are gone. All out performance is nearly the same and diesel torque is much better and smoother than gasoline - the old adage "diesel horses are bigger horses" comes to mind.

    How much trust do you have in the 3.0?

    We needed a third row and diesel torque.

    BMW 530d

    BMW 530d I love turbo diesels, so I rented a BMW diesel in Munich for two weeks over Christmas. I have some observations that diesel readers might find interesting. I wanted to rent an x7 diesel for comparison to my 2021 Tahoe LT diesel, but Sixt didn’t have any available. I wanted to try...

    Pushbar suggestions

    That looks great! I wish Setina or Westin would make one for my 21 Tahoe diesel, but they don't fit the diesel's extra coolers/radiators. I need one b/c there's always something in way!

    another warranty issue with the wife's '21

    I guess I have been very lucky w my GM's. For me, they have been the only cars with no issues. The worst thing that has happened to me with my 21 Tahoe Duramax has been the key left in car message when it wasn't and the service safety restraint system notice needing service. Those went away...

    How much trust do you have in the 3.0?

    24,000 miles & 2yrs, great performance and high fuel efficiency. The engine made me buy it and I have not been disappointed. No breakdowns. No problems. Just oil and fuel filter changes. Great dealer service. I studied test drove all the options - foreign and domestic, gas and diesel - and...

    My first mechanical failure on the 3.0

    Ooops. I just took the time to look at StephenPT's link. https://gm-techlink.com/?p=14641 This is a detailed GM posting on "TechLink", apparently a GM website. It does not say that there is a defect. Rather, it says "Some 2020-2021 Silverado, Sierra; 2021 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade...

    Hi, Can you please give me the TSB or service bulletin, if you have it?

    Lm2 lives on

    24k miles and not a single problem with my LM2, plentiful torque and butter smooth driveability. The engine is plenty fast in my 3 ton 4WD, accelerates same as a my 2016 V-6 Impala, no problems accelerating from 80mph. The LZ0 sounds even better, but maybe it would not be a big difference...

    YUKON 2022. Driving on AUTO Mode

    True here in New England - 4WD is all the dealers sell - but not the South and Southwest. The Tahoe has been very competent in the snow with these Michelin LTX's in 2WD. I guess 4WD would make a lot of sense if you're living in snow country or up a long private drive. IMHO, simple is best, get...

    YUKON 2022. Driving on AUTO Mode

    Because, at the time, it was the only available diesel where the dealer wasn't demanding 5K over sticker.

    YUKON 2022. Driving on AUTO Mode

    I've got 4WD and wish I didn't have it. Two winters now and I have not used it once. It's a $3k upcharge and hundreds of pounds in the front end. Growing up, everything was RWD and we did just fine. We lived on a mud country road and didn't need 4WD. All it took was a little skill.

    Gas vs Diesel fuel price

    And so much more. Worth the wait. I found mine 50 miles away using the Chevrolet website in stock locator. I removed all the search parameters and still found just what I was looking for.

    Gas vs Diesel fuel price

    I agree. IMHO, diesels just drive better, nicer.

    If you had a do-over, Would you buy your duramax all over again?

    20,000 miles in 18.5 months, no hint of problems. I cannot say enough good about this engine (or about this terrific vehicle). 30+mpg's easy on road trips and all that 460 lb/ft max torque from 1500rpm on up. My 2021 LT weighs over 6,000 lbs w 4WD and diesel. This diesel moves it quietly...

    DEF bargain

    Buy it at the truck stop pump. This is a good tip for guys like me who have not had a diesel anything before. Thanks.

    Yukon Denali Duramax - Is it slow?

    LM2 has more than enough thrust to keep up with the aggressive driving that goes on here. It seems plenty fast for a passenger car. Mine does not run out of steam over 80, goes fine. It certainly keeps pulling hard past 80, enough so that you have to watch out (80mph is the unofficial speed...

    Duramax odors in cabin

    I have had mine for 20 months and 19,000 miles. There has never been a diesel smell problem in my 2021 LT Duramax. "Bluetech" turbo diesels like the LM2 have almost no smell of any kind. Regen occasionally but very rarely has a melted faint melted crayon smell after shut off, not unpleasant...

    Bay City MI to Calhoun GA on one tank of diesel

    I bought a 2021 Tahoe Duramax LT and hv 19k miles. This turbo diesel has more than enough thrust, accelerate well from 80mph and moves effortlessly around town. My best verfied gas milage was a verified 34.5 reading 35.1 on DIC cruise set at 65mph. Usual hwy milage 75 to 79 mph is 29 mpg. I love...

    2023 Yukon 3.0 Duramax Denali XL Order Timeline

    Searching the GMC site, I found 11 Yukon XL diesels of varying trims and colors within 250 miles of my ZIP code, four of them "in transit". If I change the distance to 2,000 miles, I get 114 diesel Yukon XL's. I got the 2nd row bench but am still on the fence about it. It can be a PIA. I...

    2023 Yukon 3.0 Duramax Denali XL Order Timeline

    Would you consider trying to buy off the lot? I found my 2021 Black LT diesel Tahoe that way a year and a half ago. I used the website's locator and only put in one search criterion, diesel. I used a ZIP somewhere in the middle of the USA and a 2,000 mile radius. I found one at a dealer 50...

    616 miles on the odometer and our new 2021 Tahoe LT won't start!!!! P1029 error code

    Sorry to revive this after six months, but I am having this problem too. Do you know more about this, the name of the tool or the location of the slot to put the tool into? This is going to be bad getting it out of my garage.

    Is the Duramax good for City Driving

    13,500 miles great majority local driving and city traffic. It's perfect. The engine moves this truck effortlessly. Everything about this 2021 Tahoe LT Duramax is tops. The engine is the best part.

    Oil Leak From New

    I found a little oil under the car once. When I checked underneath, I could not find oil on the undercarriage. The engine is tight and clean. The only thing maybe I could think of was the oil cooler, but I could not find anything. I brought it in to the dealer and made a point of speaking to...
