    Check enginel light and “reduced power” on the DIC came on

    Same issue here - P2135 came on yesterday out of the blue. Issue matches TSB #11-06-04-007B so ordered ACDelco 19259452 TP Sensor. What's the success rate replacing the TP sensor on a 2011 Tahoe? Cheers -

    Diagnosing a shake, jerky ride

    Same truck here, 2011 LT, 80kmiles. Did both diffs 5K ago, used Mobil 1 "Synthetic Gear Lubricant LS 75W-90 Limited Slip Friction Modifier Included" for both Rear:4.2pts and Front:3pts. G80 also. Here was the condition of the rear with a little metal fuzz on the magnet. A little fuzz on the...

    Key fob stopped working - 2011 Tahoe

    So I bought two new keyfobs+keys off Amazon for $32 (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019E48DOM) for my 2011 Tahoe, and took it to the local GM dealer. They only charged $50 to reprogram all 4 and cut the two new keys. Now I have 4 working keys+keyfobs, one is Driver #1, one is Driver #2 and the other...

    Hot 4wd selector knob revs jumping around

    Our 2011 Tahoe (no issues) also has a hot 4WD selector - I assume it's the lamp that illuminates it, and therefore nothing untoward.

    Key fob stopped working - 2011 Tahoe

    2011 Tahoe LT. Two key fobs came with it, worked great for a year. One has now decided to suddenly cease responding to any buttons. New battery you say? Replaced. Fob transmits (confirmed on a 'scope). Other interesting observation is the non-functional keyfob successfully enters Tire Learning...

    75K tranny / transfer case service 2011 Tahoe

    My rear diff took approx 5pts also, filling to the bottom of the fill plug. I then read I probably should have just added the stated 2.1qts/4.2pints and fill it to "1.0mm to 19.0mm below the fill plug hole". Is there a concern having it some 12oz overfull? Also, I didnt notice any difference...

    Bought a used '11 w/ 140k, leave the trans or change fluid/filter?

    I'd second the concern that 'black' tranny fluid should definitely be addressed asap. That's quite unusual - I did a 2000 Yukon at 140K and it wasn't black, but a red-brown color. Maybe your's has done a lot of towing? Black fluid at 140K suggests it's never been serviced. I use the well-tried...

    11 Burb 4x4 Transmission fluid change

    Just recently did this on my 2011 LT Tahoe @ 75,000miles. (see my post here) Additional info to that above:- 1. Removing the little clip that secures the line into the radiator required a little pick 2. If you dont use a fitting, the 3/8" OD plastic tube will pop out of the radiator. I just...

    75K tranny / transfer case service 2011 Tahoe

    So did the front and rear differentials at 75K. A little over 4qts total Mobil-1 75W-90 Synthetic, 5+pts rear, and 3pts front. Rear diff has the fill plug in the cover rather than in the main housing by the driveshaft. 10 bolt, so 8.6", right? Mine took more than the 2.1qts/4.2pts listed -...

    75K tranny / transfer case service 2011 Tahoe

    Yep, diffs up next. 5 qts 75W-90 synthetic I think should be enough ? GU6/G80 on the rear. Unsure if 10 or 14 bolt yet... What's the scoop regarding not using RTF with synthetic?

    75K tranny / transfer case service 2011 Tahoe

    Serviced the Hoe on the weekend, transfer case flush/fill and tranny pan drop/flush. 75,000 miles, assume it's the first time. Figured someone might be interested to see the condition of the magnet shavings at 75K, imho it was needed based on the colour of the ATF. DEXRON VI btw, both tranny...

    Beach driving thoughts

    I too was somewhat hesitant taking my 2017 Silverado Z71 into sandy/beach conditions with less than 500 miles on the odometer. No issues, perfect for testing 4HI & 4LO, Traction Control, etc. Needed to tow out a car from some soft sand, so pack your tow rope. 2011 Tahoe same place was fun too -...

    New-to-me 5.3 oil burner...

    My '94 K1500 with 251,000 burns about a quart every 1000 miles. Seems about the same as your quart-and-a-half between oil changes (assume changed every 3000 so 1500miles = 1.5qts). No leaks on mine, so I've put it down to old age. $5/1000miles doesnt keep me up at night. I bet my compression is...
