    Transmission fluid change thru dipstick

    I have 60k miles on my 2010 Tahoe and was looking at its first transmission fluid change. I wanted to know if I can pump out enough thru the dip stick to make it a decent fluid change. Due to time it takes, I don't want to do the "drop pan" technique but also don't want to waste my time if...

    Chassis lubrication - 2010 Tahoe

    Thanks - so two fittings is all? Did you grease by turning wheel and doing from beside car or go underneath?

    Turn on Nav without audio

    I've noticed this too and it is yet another poor engineering job. I have issued with the Air/Heat controls. There are certain combinations of settings that are not allowed and the light on the button just flashes. For instance, I should be able to use inside air (recirculate) whenever I want...

    Chassis lubrication - 2010 Tahoe

    I change my own oil but have never greased the chassis. I see the maintenance schedule shows to do every other oil change. Where are the grease fittings and how many are there in a 2010 Tahoe? What type of grease to use?

    Valves tapping or rattle sound in 2010 LTZ

    In my 2010 LTZ, I here a sound that comes from engine or from underneath. It sounds like valves tapping but it only occurs at moderate speeds (30-40 mph) under light load - steady speed, no acceleration. I have tried 93 octane gas and no ethanol gas it the sound remained unchanged. I use...

    Door locks

    Quality on GM cars suck. Drove an Acura till it was 18 years old and it was more solid on its last day (that I owned it) than my Tahoe on its first. Never again will I buy American.

    Rattle from Driver's Side Seat Belt Hanger..HELP!

    GM traded me for new 2010 I had the same except on the passenger side. Sounded like two pieces of sheet metal tapping together. Not loud but it became water torture in my head after a while. I had the issue worked on 5 times at dealer. They adjusted, greased the seat belt retractors, blew...

    Door locks

    yes, my passenger side front door lock would not unlock - about 10% of time. Neither key fob nor inside unlock button would work. Dealer repaired under warranty. Mine had 8000 miles.

    Door Edge Guards - corner of rear door

    The corner of the rear side doors where the doors turns at the wheel well can be hazardous to a neighboring car or wall. Anyone found a good way to protect that corner? I have used short pieces of door edge trim but it slide out of way when it bumped my wife's car.

    Adjust gas pedal reach - Can it be done?

    I would like the bring the gas pedal up closer to driver but not adjust brake pedal. (I have the electric pedals but they adjust together) I would like to merely lift my toe, pivot my heal and apply the brake. But there is so much difference between the two pedals, I have to lift my foot off...

    Rattle in pillar by front passenger head

    Have a new 08 Tahoe with 1600 miles. I have a rattle in the pillar next to the front passenger's head - where the seat belt mounts. I have moved that mount up and down and push around but it still rattles from time to time. It is a "tin" like rattle. Obviously under warranty but I worry...
