Hello 2018 Tahoe

[tom3]

I'd like to see the history records on that machine too. We have a 2019 now with 18k miles and curious of what to expect down the road. Used to be we could buy a new GM vehicle and after a couple early bugs it would easily run 100k with routine maintenance.

Welcome to the forum! I just joined as well since I took over the wife's Tahoe. I just installed mudflaps myself.

With the oversized tires, this took a bit of engineering to install, but I like the look.

Installed the Red Hound mud flaps.

Installation very easy. Don't need to remove tires. Just turn the front wheels one way then the other to get to all three fasteners. Rear has two factory screws, plus a third that goes thru the "plastic" wheel well material. Drill or just use the included 3rd screw to bore thru the material, and put the included fastener on the back side of the material.

Also removed the third seat. Very easy.

Before disconnecting the power connector, raise the back some to access two cross bolts that hold the 40/60 together horizontally. Then lower using the power and disconnect. There is a third bolt (13mm) on the rear of the 40/60 split. Seven main bolts are 15MM and need to be replaced as the holes are open to the exterior.

I’ll fit some carpet padding or closed cell padding into the voids, then cover it all with some indoor/outdoor black carpet from Menards @ $0.49 per square foot. Comes in six foot width… so will need a 4X6 foot piece and can probably tuck it under the side trim. Cargo floor is exactly four feet wide, and need about 4'-6" to tuck under the rear trim to just behind the second row and tuck under the carpet there.

Temp fake plate. The temporary dealer tag is taped in the TINTED back window. I'll put on the real plates once the temporary tag is expired.

I'll try and get records from local Chevy dealer, would be good to know service records.

What I plan to do:
3. Replace center high-stop light. I did not notice it was broken and doesn't work. Already ordered $45 non-OEM light and watch a youtube.

3. Be careful with aftermarket lights, hopefully good reviews. Sometimes they don't like to play well with the factory electronics. Lots of sources for GM parts instead of the high priced Dealers, never pay full price, Ebay, Rockauto, Amazon just to name a few.

Bought this center stop light from Pro Tuning Lab .... had to remove the fasteners from the original light and use in the replacement. The replacement had smaller studs and no (metric) nuts were supplied with the new light. Worked fine, no errors. Item # 3BL-GMCD15-LED-RD fit my 2018 just fine.

Glad the light worked out for you. You will have a nice rig exactly the way you want it after you finish all the upgrades.
