    Thinking of selling my new 6.2L Denali...

    So would I. I dont care how magical the oil "claims" to be...I wouldnt run any oil that long unless the Blackstone test confirmed that it was ok. ESPECIALLY with these AFM engines....

    Wireless cell phone charger for Tahoe.

    The part number has been superseded a few times. The new part number for the wireless charging module is 13547617.

    Wireless cell phone charger for Tahoe.

    Thanks for that info. Had no idea there was a better unit available. Another project to add to the list :)

    Replacement Battery

    Well, they used to be top of the line. Not so sure anymore. The last couple of Diehards I had experienced notably shorter life than say the Diehards of decades ago.

    Driver Seat Swap

    Nope. They have a completely different bolt pattern on the floor mount.

    Wireless cell phone charger for Tahoe.

    I have to agree. I have the '17 Premier and the factory wireless charger is weak at best. The phone has to be placed perfectly and it takes forever to charge.

    2011 Tahoe/Best dash cam for Chevy Tahoe

    I picked up the Rove 2 camera system. Very happy with the camera and it has more bells and whistles than I will ever need. After using it for a few months, I grew tired of the power cable dangling from the windshield, so I picked up an adapter which let me take off power from the rearview mirror...

    Auto start heated seat

    I thought mine weren't working either until recently. Every time I tried them, I could not notice any difference. But recently it was a bit colder out (<50 degrees) and when I remote started, I made sure to give it a good 7-8 minutes of running before I climbed in. Sure enough, all 4 seats were...

    Heated seats not turning on when using remote start in the cold

    Tried it again tonight (much colder outside) and this time I did notice them being on. I let the truck run for a good 7-8 minutes first, and then it was noticeable on all 4 seats. I'm guessing that it needs to be cold enough outside for the heated seats to activate and they need more than a few...

    Missing an info screen on the dash

    Thanks... I'll take another look.

    Missing an info screen on the dash

    2017 Tahoe Premier, 45000 miles, new to me. I seem to be missing one of the screens on my driver information center. I have seen several videos where the user is cycling through the different info screens and there is one that shows the estimated fuel range remaining. This particular screen is...

    Heated seats not turning on when using remote start in the cold

    Mine is exhibiting the same behavior. 2017 Premier, I have the heated seats selected to "on" in the remote start menu, but nothing happens when I remote start the vehicle. Wish I could figure out what the issue is.

    Ok for the vehicle to idle for 3-5 hours?

    Dave (of Dave's Auto Center in Utah) is a diesel specialist. He says never let these newer diesels idle any more than necessary and shows evidence why. He says the quickest way to damage these diesels in consumer vehicles is lack of oil changes and excessive idling. You cant compare an...

    Help with Rims (No more 24s)

    Before buying my Tahoe, I test drove several variations with 20's and 22's. In every case, the 20's had a notably better ride. It was a no-brainer going with the 20" wheels.

    RockAuto selling fake GM Parts?

    I'll purchase smaller items from RA like belts, switches, if necessary. But I purchased a condenser from them that was a big ticket item, which I was not able to install for about 4-5 weeks because of work. When I finally pulled it out of the box, one of the line fittings was welded so crooked...

    2022 Tahoe - Dash Cam Powered by Rearview Mirror?

    Nice harness....ridiculous price. There are others on the market for 1/4th of the price.

    Drive with lift glass open?

    It can be done, but the window needs to be tied down (not left in the full open position) and cushioned against your load for shock. It needs to be able to move slightly to avoid banging up or down as your vehicle experiences bumps going down the roadway. If you tie it down solid without some...

    Towing with a rental Tahoe

    "Their contract doesnt matter?" Read again... You agree to certain legally binding things when you sign that piece of paper. One of those things could be extreme penalties for disregarding the contract stipulations. I got dinged one time for having a cocky attitude such as yours. I can still...

    Dimmed Backlit Dash and Radio/HVAC Lights

    Mine did the same exact thing... randomly going brighter, dimmer, etc. It would often be fine for weeks or months at a time, then go wonky. Replaced the combo headlight/dimmer switch and problem resolved.

    Oil pressure drop after addition of OEM Oil Cooler?

    I have not had good luck with anything from Dorman. Very cheaply made parts from overseas. That would be my first suspect part to look at.

    What's actually included with the Max Trailering Package?

    Rear end is an automatic locking differential...not sure about the gear ratios. A lot of things to upgrade if you are trying to 'roll your own' max trailering package. 6K pounds is a significant load. You are going to be working your Tahoe much harder without the proper towing equipment. Took me...

    Traiding in 2021 Tahoe High Country for 2021 Escalade worth it?

    C'mon.... you all knew he was going to do it. The drama over whether to trade or not was getting old. Every post had a new reason to support what he deep down really wanted to do. Eating oil? I doubt it. Adding a quart of oil between oil changes is not unusual on these newer engines. Personally...

    Towing with 2021 Yukon Denali non-Max towing package

    I battled with this same issue for years. There is very little you can do to "legally" increase your tow rating. You can help performance by re-gearing, adding coolers, air bags and such. But none of these upgrades increases your capacity. "IF" you ever get into an accident, your tow setup is...

    Towing

    You must be a thrillseeker. Thats got to be close to 2000 lbs over the recommended max for that vehicle.

    service history from vin#?

    Tried signing up for the GM owner account so that I could access any previous service records on my new to me used Tahoe. They force you to go through Onstar, where you have to listen to a lot of marketing garbage and prodding to sign up for monthly services. Surrender a bunch of personal...
