Whenever I make tight turns in my 4x4 tahoe with pushbutton 4x4, the tires squeal. The tires are Prospectors SUV, crap tires. I'm hoping I don't have a driveline issue going on.

Oh its disengaged. Its been doing this Dec. I'm sure I would have burnt it out by now if it wasn't. Besides that, I can feel when its in 4 and when its in 2. I can definately feel it clunk into 4 and out.

Mine does the same thing and it's in 2HI.

The winter tires don't squeel but my 'summer' tires do. The summer tires are the orginal Firestone tires, so I figure it has to be the tires.

Has anybody sued GM over the the stock tires they use yet? If not, maybe it would get their attention. I had less than 1000 miles on the Americrap tires and was pulling into the parking lot at work after a very, very light rainfall, and before I knew it, I was facing the opposite direction. I didn't hit the gas any more than nornal and barely even turned the wheel, but the tires just have no traction in wet conditions. I think it would be suicide to keep these in the winter.

I replaced my stock Ameritracs with less than 600 miles on them after the first rain. They are plain dangerous.

My factory Goodyear RSA's used to squeal all the time when making turns. Threw on some Michellin's... noises gone. Oh, and they actualy provide traction, even in the rain. :flag:

Why would you sue GM over the tires? GM doesnt make the tires, thats the problem with some people now a days sue for anything.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
