    Is my transmission talking to me?

    I installed that same PE bypass in my 6L80, dropped the pan, replaced the filter, and did a few drain and fills with fresh atf. That should get it running smoother. Mine rarely gets above 190 unless I’m driving hard in the mountains. Will that fix the issue completely? Hopefully. If not...

    About to cross over 100k miles in my 2018 Tahoe Premier 4WD

    I agree with others here about servicing the transmission. I strongly advise changing the fluid and filter - it’s easy preventative maintenance. Good on ya for taking care of the other items - I’d do the transfer case on your own if you feel up to it. Its a very easy drain and fill. Aside from...

    Hey thanks - I agree - they kind of blend in with the rest of the black. I’ve been meaning to check in to provide some updates. Life has been super busy lately - my wife and I are in the process of moving to the mountains, so things have been a bit hectic, but on the plus side we’ve been in the...

    Well I meant to make an update post when I got back from the eclipse trip, but work and life got busy. You know how it is.. The burb was a ROAD TRIP MACHINE. I fell more in love with it on the road trip. It never skipped a beat. So comfortable too! We hit a hyuuuge rain storm on the way back...

    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    In preparation for a road trip to Tx this weekend, I finally got my spare tire mounted. I ditched the old spare, and replaced it with an eBay z71 wheel and another Nokian. Aside from that, I’m going to put my Yakima roof box on before we leave and that’s about it. The box looked huge on the...

    Haha I hear ya - I’ve become used to it, but I’m the same way about humid heat lol.

    I wish I could! The last storm gave us ~15" of super wet snow - we'll be drying out for a week!

    Thanks! Yeah that’s the same location I bought brackets for. The just arrived, but it’s snowy and cold, so I’ll install them soon and will be sure to post info about the install here

    In other news, I've been taking it easy on the mods. I've been busy in life with a job change and some other things, but I'm excited to have spring so close and summer even closer. I ended up replacing my mirrors with some escalade mirrors. I liked how much rear visibility the towing mirrors...

    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    Yep! I had a friend give me some yellow LED lights, and I recently bought some ditch light brackets for them. I've never mounted lights in the hood/ditch location before, so depending on how much I use them, I may mount them on a license plate bracket or something similar. Let me know if you've...

    2019 Tahoe Torque Converter Replacement

    Just adding a note of support here. Bought my 2019 with 88K miles on it. I don't think the ATF was ever changed, so I dropped the pan, replaced the filter, and cleaned the magnet. The fluid was really dark and smelled burnt. I also added a full ATF thermostat bypass so it always goes to the...

    I went with the Phillips UltinonSport H11 LED bulbs. They’re much better, and project a good distance. The beam pattern is clean and much more distinct than the halogen pattern. I have one good picture of the beam pattern:

    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    Thanks! The black is definitely hard to keep clean haha At night up there it was around 0 - some nights it dipped negative. Then high of 20s in the day. It was definitely cold when I first drove it out of the neighborhood, but once I got out onto the county roads the transmission warmed up to...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Figured I’d check in here to offload my latest maintenance/upgrades. I bought it at the end of November, and have been doing upgrades and maintenance every week or so since. This forum has been incredibly helpful with my maintenance and modifications - many thanks to all who contribute here...

    And what would this thread be without a good photo or two of the whole package every now and then? Just me rambling I suppose haha. Before the exhaust: After:

    Lastly, here’s a pic of the corsa tips - I went with the black tips and think they look great! And yes, my bumper was a bit dirty from a drive haha.

    Here are the two plugs with some oil on the threads. On both, it looked like the oil only penetrated halfway down the threads from the outside. Like I said, I’ll keep an eye on them and will check them in a year or so.

    More updates! I’m very close to being finished with my first phase of maintenance and upgrades. Last week my corsa exhaust delivered, as well as a set of ac delco spark plugs and wires, and some new LED headlight bulbs. Over the weekend I installed the catback, the headlight bulbs, and changed...

    Z71 Adventure Wagon

    It finally warmed up a little around here, so I took the chance to drain and fill my front + rear diffs and transfer case, then did my first oil change. I used all amsoil products, and I have to say that the drivetrain definitely feels smoother to my butt dyno. Theyre products aren’t cheap, but...

    Bought a Tahoe, dealer has not sent title paperwork in yet

    Congrats! Now the fun begins haha

    Bought a Tahoe, dealer has not sent title paperwork in yet

    I think you’ll be okay. I feel like at most you’d just need to get a new title issued for the vehicle - it wouldn’t be fun, but you’d get to keep it. Technically you could back out of the deal if they breach the contract in some way, but they’d work hard to avoid that. Aside from that, it...

    5.3 failure

    Dang, it's never good to hear about that! What is their recommended fix? Also did they provide a quote for the fix? Also this should be moved to the 2015-2020 Engine & drivetrain forum - hopefully the mods will get that sorted.

    Rancho QuickLift

    Thanks! I don't think I'll need the mag deletes though, since I have the stock z71 suspension. I'll have to take a look for any cables running to the suspension though next time I'm under the burb. My plan was to replace all four corners with this set of 9000 series Ranchos...
