    Oil cluster at 70Psi

    Any specs on the rebuilt motor? Usually a gauge or sender fails it's all or nothing seems like. And that sending unit is a real chore to get into and change out, and it's pretty expensive too. $15 dollar Chinese part goes for 60 - 80 dollars.

    AFM Disabler differences?

    I can't touch mine with the extended warranty - so I like to hear reports like this!

    AFM Disabler differences?

    I would add, do pretty quick. 90k miles is right in the danger zone for engine and transmission failures due to that cylinder confusion deal.

    $64 for 8-Quart Full Synthetic Oil Change at local GMC dealer

    Usually with our 5.3 the 8 quart fill up leaves it about 1/4 quart low. Close enough for me, 8 quarts is kind of a 3 qt. waste anyway.

    Judder between 20-40 MPH and 1000-1500 RPMs

    I'd suggest getting the pan off the transmission quick. See what's in the bottom and how the fluid looks. You might be able to save the transmission at this point - if that's the problem.

    $64 for 8-Quart Full Synthetic Oil Change at local GMC dealer

    Got our oil changed last week, no tire rotation. Eight quarts oil, AC filter and the usual tops offs, alignment check, etc. A bit over $100 this time and they now charge an extra 3% on any service for credit card. Service department was not busy at all. I think I know why. But it's a yearly...

    Outside tire wear

    Every S10 pickup and Blazer we've had did this. Rotate and air pressure help but they just do it. Do you drive on roads with a lot of curves at speed? Haven't seen this with Tahoes/Yukons though.

    $64 for 8-Quart Full Synthetic Oil Change at local GMC dealer

    Our dealer does that with tire rotation, top of all fluids, checks alignment for around $80 and it gets entered into the system, important for warranty coverage I think. I do check it over when I get home and - so far - they've been perfect. The dealers use bulk oil, big drum of Dexos full...

    Thoughts on 25 Yukon Denali giant screen?

    And when that screen starts "ghosting" and going crazy things might get real scary. Sensitive large touch screens in an unstable setting with wildly varying temperatures and humidity is not a good application I think. Time will tell.

    What's the mileage on that machine? Do you know the service history?

    RWD 2019 chevy tahoe in snow ?

    Drive two wheel pickups in snow forever. Tires and weight will get you anywhere unless the snow is 12" or more unplowed. Tahoe should do fine. And positraction is not necessarily a good item in many cases.

    Oil pressure sensor connector release?

    Thanks! I guess I can feel my way around down in there for that.

    Oil pressure sensor connector release?

    Need to change the oil pressure sensor on son's 04 with the 5.3. Can't see much back there, work mostly by feel. How does the terminal plug release so I can pull the wires off the sensor? Push tab? Or some other aggravation?

    Rear diff clunk when pushing Tahoe body side to side

    Pretty much standard lateral axle play in the c-clips and side gears.

    Tranny rebuild Tri-State area

    Might get a one day turnaround with a rebuilt swap out? Transmission shops seem to be real busy these days.

    2019 Tahoe reliability

    I'd suggest reading through the many posts on here about the AFM and transmission problems to get an idea what can happen and many tips on how to prevent or delay those. There can sure be some real expensive problems that many experience around 100k miles on these machines. Has she had any...

    Cluster

    Sent son's 04 cluster to this outfit. They completely rebuild it with new steppers and lighting. Working fine almost two years now. Was a bit under $200 with a real quick turnaround. Please call (800) 547-2049 or email us at [email protected].

    Gremlins in Infotainment System

    Couple really good videos on Youtube on this, shows what you're experiencing and how to fix it. Seems to be pretty common on these. I found that raising the door/screen to the hidden dash compartment a couple times will kill the touch but show the audio info and backup camera. Going to...

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

    I sure agree on that. If the fluid looks even halfway decent I'd pull the pan and filter, refill with new fluid. I'd want to see what's in the bottom of the pan.

    25 Tahoe Order Status

    Base LS starts out at $58,500. I'd guess there's some wiggle room in the pricing. Don't see a lot of exterior differences in the "all new" machine.

    Finally replaced my headlights

    Those new headlights really make a difference! Then there's all the new LED mis-aligned ultra bright head lights. I pretty much refuse to drive on a two lane road after dark these days.

    Dexos... High Mileage oil

    Pretty amazing how hard it is to figure out the oil maze these days. Seems like you can't get a straight answer from anyone. Used to just use Havoline 10w30 and 10w40, keep it reasonably changed, engines run forever. I'd put 10w30 quality standard oil in that LS motor.

    Got older order

    This current ordering deal seems absurd, but I remember my older brother ordered a new 65 Impala SS and it took him about 3 months to get it and he got two or three calls about not getting this or that. When I finally came it was all correct, except the valve covers. Some things never change.

    Main Bearing Failure with 6.2L at 3,200 miles

    Sister in Law had a Ford Focus, after the 4th or 5th transmission rebuild/replace in a couple years she did file and receive a full repayment for that POS, bought a new Kia Sonata. Are you in a loaner while waiting?
