  1. I hope you read this before my post gets deleted at GM’s request—they always do. Anytime someone speaks negatively about these GM trucks, the post disappears within a few hours, even if everything said is true. I’m just trying to help. Check for a bent pushrod—it might not be a lifter making that noise. Don’t throw your money away on dishonest mechanics. A lot of them are just waiting to take advantage of someone who doesn’t know better. They all know the trick of blaming the lifters just to overcharge you.
  2. You're out of luck—I've been looking for the same thing for long time and I give up. I haven't found a mechanic who has the knowledgeofdoing that. I know plenty of mechanics who have replaced tons of lifters on Suburbans used in TLC black car transportation on NYC, but none of them know how to disable or modify the AFM (Active Fuel Management) system. Even if you buy a delete kit and bring it to them, they have no idea how to install it. Plus, the software also needs to be updated, which most of them can’t do. I ended up spending thousands of dollars on this piece of junk GM vehicle. Honestly, you either put up with these issues or switch to another brand. Eventually, I taught myself how to replace the lifters. But here’s the truth: it’s not always the lifters causing the noise. A lot of times, it’s just a bent pushrod. Mechanics will often charge you for a full lifter job unless you’re standing over their shoulder the entire time. Replacing a pushrod is much easier and doesn’t require tearing down the whole engine. If you have some basic tools, it’s manageable. There’s one bolt at the back of the engine that can be tricky, but otherwise, it’s a 3-hour job. Lifter replacements take around two days. What many mechanics do is tell you it’s a lifter issue, keep your car for three days, then just replace a $25 pushrod and charge you $2,000 for a lifter job. If you are working in Black Car Trasportation, than you are in deep trouble like hundreds os drivers like me.. But if you DONT need this specific vehicle, than change this pice of crap GM for another brand. GM has the most stupid engineering, and they will not change, is the typical American Trush. I'm very sure by this time you already know that, that is the reason you are looking into AFM modification.
  3. I don't care about the brand.. I just want to get the oil. I found this oil that is supposed to be for Suburban 2015. Is this correct..? I have to get the 75w-90 too..
  4. I'm looking to change the front and rear differential oil in my 2015 Chevrolet Suburban LT. However, I'm seeing a lot of different part numbers in oil types, which is confusing. I went to several stores, but none of them had ACDelco 75W-85 for the rear axle—only 75W-90. I'm uploading an image to ask: is this the correct oil I'm supposed to use? From what I understand, I need ACDelco 75W-85 and 75W-90—correct? While searching for 75W-85, I mostly find ACDelco products listed by part numbers, but they don't clearly state the viscosity (75W-85). In some cases, when I do find one labeled 75W-85, the compatibility checker says it's not compatible with a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban LT. The oil shown in the attached image is the only one I found that clearly says 75W-85. Everything else I’ve seen online is listed only by part number. I'm up to my cabeza trying to find the correct oil..
