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

    I wouldn't do it. Buy a backup generator that runs on propane.

    Diesel Appropriate?

    You couldn't GIVE me a diesel vehicle. They're noisy, they smell, and for some reason, the people that own them will almost never turn them off. They just LOVE to let them idle. Go with gasoline.

    2023 Tahoe/oil additives

    I wouldn't do any oil additives. My dealership tried to push those on me and I discovered the owners of the dealership also had a financial stake in the oil additive company.

    OEM parts on Amazon?

    I would also avoid them. Returns are risky. People who return too much get their accounts permanently closed. Sometimes with no warning. Buy from an auto parts distributor.

    2022 Tahoe Automatic Emergency Braking

    My experience is the same as yours. I don't know a safe way to test it. Mine will sometimes give me an alert when there are parked cars on a curve.

    New 24 Tahoe!

    I have the same vehicle, even the same color. My improvements were to permanently disable engine stop-start to extend engine life and improve safety. The daytime running lights have also been permanently disabled.

    Yukon vs Wagoneer Comparison

    One advantage to the Wagoneer is that you can program the daytime running lights to be permanently off. With GM vehicles, you must turn them off on every key start or modify them to be off as many people do.

    2023 PPV

    The Police versions are nice. They already have many of the upgrades that people do after they get their vehicles. NO daytime running lights, an engine stop-start is permanently disabled. This will save you the trouble and expense of making these corrections yourself.

I insure my car, I ensure my house. that's it. I don't get insurance for my iPhone, items I buy at Walmart, etc. I probably paid for my last...

    2023 Suburban Premier 5.3L 4WD - Observations and Questions

    On my new Tahoe, the "must have upgrades" 1) Install device that permanently overrides engine stop-start. There's a good chance the vehicle already has it. I use the one that installs behind the dash, it retains full functionality, but it remembers your selection and KEEPS it that way. 2)...

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

    Part of the decision-making process on the Escalade is if they've already had various corrections completed. For example, is the engine stop-start disabled already? Are the daytime running lights already disabled. If these updates have been done on the car it could add to the decision-making...

    2023 Tahoe RST 6.2L Engine Stopped - starts with rattle

    Hyper complexity in order to squeeze out another 1 mile per gallon. I can see why people with the mechanical skills try to DE-Detroit their engines.
