Hello all, 

 

I just picked up a 2015 Tahoe and came across this forum while browsing the web. Got it on Carvana so wanted to ask if there are any issues I should look out for before my 7 day return time is up. The truck is an LT with the luxury and max towing packages. Only has 18.7k miles.  So far everything seems to be working great. Anything I should look/listen for?

 

Appreciate the feedback.

2015 is known for some issues you have to look/ask for.
Radiator is know for a leak on this specific model, check it out.
A common issue is to get interior lights illuminate when pressing the break, I think the fix is to replace tail lights.
For other high milages vehicles, you have to check and ask for the trans fluid change intervals at the maintenance. It should have been replaced regularly. Torque converter is a common issue in all 15-20 GM trucks. In your case since the model and the low milage, I guess it needs to replace all fluid since it has been sit for a while without moving a lot (trans fluid and transfer case if equipped/engine oil/break fluid bleeding/coolant fluid if needed and so on)

My son had a 15 with electrical issues that couldn’t be fixed. Lights blinking while driving. Low speed stalling. It was common enough that they separated electrical issues from other services. There was a waiting list. Frustrated he traded it off at a loss.

Man it has to be a lot of lipstick on that truck to be at least 5 yrs old with 19K miles.  Some of the issues in the previous posts were not the bulk of the problems with that year, most of the conversation dealt with some form of buffeting, pressure, shaking, and vibration.  There was a lot of conversation from the same folks about those issues and if you were an owner with any of those issues, most got rid of the truck.  If the truck was bought from an older owner, maybe the 19K miles at that age could be believable it might not have any major issues.  But buying that truck from other than a major dealership or older owner, I would be skeptical.  Personally I would not have bought the truck. 

 

Now don't get me wrong, I have Tahoe LT and never had any transmission, suspension, mechanical, or any engine issues and my truck is over 6 yrs old (bought Feb 2014).  I've had a couple of aesthetic things go wrong.  My truck is actually the best new vehicle I have ever owned.  So you might get lucky and the truck could have come off the assembly line next to mine.  But 19K at 5yrs from a non-dealer or older owner, make sure you read the posts on this forum that dealt with the bolded items above.

Thanks for all the feedback. I will look for the mentioned issues. The carfax shows it as a one-time lease and a couple of auctions to various dealers. No dealer buy back or lemon law issues (verified via lemon law attorney). I went with Carvana because several friends have used them and recommended it. Will update if anything comes up.

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.

      How to Tune 6L80 Silverado transmission

      By ballencd · Posted

      New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.

      Sounds like a smart reasonable person with common sense. Bill O’Riley never said he was just a journalist, by the way.
