    Torque Converter

    Agree, go with the 18 if you can. I had a TC go on my 6 speed, so that meant a whole new tranny. Not fun. I heard there is a class action lawsuit on some of GM's transmission. I know its for the 8 speed, but hope maybe the 6 speeds will be included. Seems to be a very common issue, so much...

    Doors lock immediately after unlock

    In case this happens to anyone else. I found some instructions online to reprogram a fob, however none of them worked. On my 2017 with key start compared to the online videos I found, they all had a different informational system than mine. I don't have actual gauge clusters across the top...

    Doors lock immediately after unlock

    I wish my issue was that easy. I took apart the fob and nothing looks amiss. I did use the truck yesterday and left the fob dismantled and the issue was gone. I have a replacement fob on the way. I hope the old fob will work for the programming of the new fob. Looks like the mystery is...

    Doors lock immediately after unlock

    As noted, I only have one fob so its an easy test. I pulled the battery out of my one Fob and I took the truck out for errand. No auto locking. I guess I'll take a look at internals of the fob and see if I can't see what the issue is. I've found some instructions on pairing a new fob, however...

    Doors lock immediately after unlock

    I'm not finding much on this issue. Using the fob when I unlock the doors, they immediately lock. I have to hold the unlock button until I open the door and then use the doors unlock button to unlock the rest of doors. As soon as I release the unlock button on the fob all doors lock again. I...

    I'll get details. I do know they are not rebuilding mine, but are looking to replace it with a remanufactured trans

    2016 Tahoe Trans failure

    The transmission shop confirmed the TC is going. I have the 6 speed so they recommended a new transmission. Quote is $5,500 for rebuilt trans and 3 year warranty. Is that on par?

    RPMs jumping when driving

    Well, you guys were right...... I found another thread and in that thread mentioned a "wash boarding" sound which I really didn't notice as I run mud tires but that did get me thinking that I was hearing it more. That thread mentioned a failing torque converter and every symptom he had, I...

    2016 Tahoe Trans failure

    Thanks all for the information. I called my local shop and they recommended a transmission place up the road. I chatted with them and will take it in this week.

    2016 Tahoe Trans failure

    Oh no....... I posted this on July 18th rpms-jumping-when-driving and just seeing this post. Hmm, what just got me thinking was the "washboard shudder" statement. A few times I think I've experienced this, however I run mud tires so I tend to always her the washboard sound. Does the vehicle...

    RPMs jumping when driving

    Hmm, thanks for the reply and yes I thought about the transmission as well. It doesn't seem like its slipping but what you have listed does get me thinking as its just doesn't feel right in the shifting patterns. Oh, and I will add that no hard vehicle bucking or surges have been noted. Sure...

    RPMs jumping when driving

    I guess at this point since there are no other suggestions, I'll need to take this into a shop to have them diagnose. I'm at a loss.

    RPMs jumping when driving

    No check engine light. I have a older ScanGauge device I've used for some time. To say its a quality bi-directional scanner, I'd say not but its what I got.

    RPMs jumping when driving

    I really don't know. I guess I'd say it feels like of a miss. Its somewhat sporadic which is irritating.

    Suggestions and Question

    If after switching from from auto to 2wd and you don't notice any issues, I wouldn't worry about it too much. As for break pads, I just replaced mine. I just went to the AutoZone site and search for some pads with good reviews. I like ceramic for the low dust level, however I'm running with...

    RPMs jumping when driving

    Coming back from a long trip I noticed at 60mph the RPMs started jumping and the transmission was dropping in gear and back up. I fully cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor. Same thing, RPMs jumping. I changed spark plugs about 20k ago, but didn't do the wires. I just replaced...

    Mount em up!

    My dealer here in NC quoted $1,400. No idea if it was just for the failed driver side, but that seemed a bit steep... I too was not willing to square up and fight this thing. I took my 2017 to a local independent shop and I was out the door for $480. Money well spent I believe. She takes...

    My turn to need motor mount replacement (again)

    @jyi786 - Oh wow this is timely as I just got a quote from the dealership to replace the driver side motor mount for $1,700. I just called my normal shop to see what they charge for this. I too have 4WD and from what I can tell, if its 4WD its not worth the headache, but I also don't want to...

    Anyone else struggle with the A-pillar blind spot?

    Ok, so I'm not crazy and its actually a problem for some. We have a round-about right up the road and twice I've come up to it and a vehicle is moving at just the rights speed I don't see them until I'm right on them. Since then, I really look around it to make sure. Good post!

    The financial benefits of maintaining our own cars

    For me, I'd rather do the work myself as I just don't like going to the dealer or shop, having to schedule an appointment and then waiting around. By the time I've done all that. I could have had the part delivered to the house and do the job on my time. This is for a job that I'm willing to...

    Looking for a little advice ??

    I would certainly look at Carvana for the trade in. Carvana gave me 3k more for my LR4 compaired to Carmax. This was a straight trade in with no purchase. Nice looking truck.

    Gas prices making anyone reconsider?

    As far as my understanding is, all gas is refined within the same refineries... "The only difference between gasoline at one company's fueling stations and gasoline sold by another company is the small amount of additives that some companies blend into the gasoline after it leaves the...

    Gas prices making anyone reconsider?

    I have the 5.3L with Flex fuel... Anyone else running that? The gas station Sheetz has it in my area for $3.49. I've been running with that, but haven't polled the forum on it. My wife drove this vehicale primarily and I've recently taken it over. The goal is to keep this sucka until the...

    Raptor style grill lights

    Well, I like it..... Did you install a switch for this? Bottom line is, if you like it, run with it!
