 I’ve got a 2015 Tahoe LT that I’ve owned for about a year. It now has 110,000 miles on it. The issues I’m having are:

1. The gate sometimes won’t open more than a couple of inches. This is with the fob, button on overhead console, and outside handle. It just started happening the last month.  I have read about people having issues when it sits in the direction in life but this is in the middle of winter up here in Minnesota I can be in my garage or outside on a cloudy day. 

2. The second row overhead dome light flashes when I hit the brakes or left turn signal sometimes. I’ve also read about this online and was wondering if this is a TSB that the dealer would fix since it’s out of warranty. If not how do I do this cheaply. I got a new light pod from a 2015 that some guy was partying out and it didn’t fix it.

3. Oil leak. Is there an oil cooler on this truck?  When I look down at the front of the engine with the hood up, it looks like there is a junction where lines coming out of the radiator come together between the radiator and front of the engine. It looks like it’s fairly wet where these lines meet at a grommet/harness. I first noticed with a small puddle under the truck in my garage. It doesn’t appear wet at the harmonic balancer or oil pan from what I can see. I haven’t jacked up the truck and removed belly pan yet.

I also have a 2015 LT, I had problems 2 and 3 in your post.  Have not fixed number 2 yet cause it's been too cold, but the fix is in the front courtesy bulbs.  Once these are replaced it should correct the problem.  For number 3, the dealer found I needed an extension on my oil filter housing.  The leak stopped when they added the extension.  I think I commented on these issues somewhere on this forum, could be additional info in the other posts.

So are you actually replacing the little LED bulbs in the second row dome light pod? I open that up and it looks like you have to take them out and solder them in. For the oil leak was there a TSB?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.
