    Engine Died and Alive to Tell

    Chevy no va Don't let this incident be the deciding factor in your choice . . . It's best to get what you want or you'll be living with regrets. I've owned several GM products over the years. The Burb 2500 lasted 10+ and I traded it in for the Tahoe. It was a highway cruiser with the 8.1...

    Synthetic Oil use in 2015 LTZ

    Not all oil is the same. Personally, I've used synthetics in my last three vehicles (Burb 2500, Z06, and Cam SS) with good results. My major concern is with the 5.3 in the Tahoe and the AFM. Red

    Magnetic Ride Control on '15 Tahoe LTZ

    Well I've only had my 15 LTZ for a couple weeks now with limited highway experience. Tomorrow it gets the ultimate test when I venture into the Big Apple, as those are not really what you'd call paved roadways. I'll post my assessment upon return. Might be a good idea to insert the mouth...

    Synthetic Oil use in 2015 LTZ

    Hey Forum, I'm a new member and Tahoe owner. Is there any advice on using a high quality synthetic in the 15 with the AFM? I ran Mobil 1 in my 04 2500 Burb for 10+ years. It had the 8.1, so oil use was a concern pulling a 25' Haulmark. Now with the new tech engine in the Tahoe, I'm...

    '15 Tahoe rumble

    I'm a newby here so this may be considered water under the bridge. That being said, I recently bought a 15 LTZ, that had a similar rumble, noticed during the test drive. I figured out it is caused by the rather large cross members on the roof. In checking out my theory, I inspected the bars...

    New Member w/New Suit

    Greeting All, Well forum, I finally stepped out in a brand new suit. A 2015 LTZ only a nerd would love, as it has more computing power than my bare bones desktop. The 04 Suburban I drove for 10 years has found a new home. JDubya feeling really frisky right now! Think I'll head on over to...
