Truck broken into
ksfarmdude replied to Bob Miller's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
That would work for someone who doesn't drive their truck everyday but for a daily driver to hide their truck is very unhandy -

Strongest Brush Guard
ksfarmdude replied to Jminter6001's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
Unless you drive thru brush or heavily deer populated country a grill guard is a waste of money some of them are so heavy they throw off the alignment and cause unneccessary tire wear, your call -
100K Services Advise
ksfarmdude replied to lryfer's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
flushing a transmission at 95K ? Do you pull a heavy trailer? or drive it like a car ? Are you planning on keeping the truck forever ? I would never flush a transmission unless its been in flood waters I've had many Chevy trucks go 250k to 300k just dropping the pan and changing the tranny oil in the pan with filter Flushing is a waste of time on a tranny that's not giving trouble Also I've never had problems getting the pan off on several model yrs as for service intervals I go 50k to 60 k seems to be about right for me -
New paint color?
ksfarmdude replied to brainpause's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
I would advise against it all the crevises and cracks and hidden areas you can't see still with original paint would look tacky and unprofessional no matter how particular you try to paint all areas Plus I'd think it would hurt the resale value as well -
2015 Tahoe Competition Mode
ksfarmdude replied to tahoeppv15's topic in 2015-2019 Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon Troubleshooting
Active fuel management is when the engine isn't under much load it will switch from 8 cylinder power down to 4 cylinder by shutting off fuel injectors to those cylinders -

3.73's would be much better ratio with the taller tires -
torque specs for front diff and rear diff
ksfarmdude replied to apollo18's topic in Vehicle Appearance, Care, & Maintenance
special torques on drain plugs is redundant anyone who is mechanically inclined knows that drain plugs and fill plugs have little or no pressure from any leaks on them However I can see where a greenhorn may not know what tight enough is , different applications are more important such as Aluminum or magneseum cases or housing that can be damaged from over tightening -
On my 2015 tahoe had Onstar module replaced then dome lights would strobe if I hit the brakes or left turn signal ( real aggravating at night too) The phone charging pad seldom works unless I take the case off of it but its a pain in the ass to put back on the mirrors are to small for pulling a trailer not sure I'd buy another tahoe again

Wireless charging broken?
ksfarmdude replied to FogDucker's topic in 2015-2019 Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon Troubleshooting
the wireless charging feature is a cheap gimmick I have a Motorola Play Droid phone and only way the charging works is if I take off the protective case that has two parts and a frigging hassle to put back on the wireless charging things is useless to me -
Hideous front hood vent
ksfarmdude replied to ksfarmdude's topic in 2015-2019 Silverado HD & Sierra HD
ok according to some of you its funtional also , I like my hood view unobstructed and sleek no cutouts no hood scoops lol that vent looks like a major bug and mud problem to me also
