60K mile service on a 23 LT
Quoted $2800 at the local Chevy dealer for a 60k service on my 2023 LT with 66K miles.
Is that worth shopping around?
How important is it to have it done by a Chevy service dept?

Now I just need to find some center caps.
Hey y’all,
Since yesterday, I seriously can’t get over how sexy the Tahoe looks. 😂 All these years, I had no idea Chevy even had this model. I always thought the Suburban was their only SUV in that class. Honestly, I didn’t even know “full-size SUVs” were a whole category until recently lol.
I was originally planning to get a Highlander because I’m coming from Toyota, but I’ve always hated the way the Highlander looks. I know it’s a great SUV, but to me it’s just super-duper fucking ugly. 😂 Even the newest models… I don’t know, man. I’ve never understood how Toyota managed to make it look that boring.
So I started looking at other SUVs, and then I discovered the Tahoe.
Man… what a sexy, handsome-looking SUV. I absolutely love it.
I’ve been watching a ton of YouTube reviews, and so far I really like what I see. But once I started reading reviews from actual owners under the video,I started seeing some complaints: certain trims/features still using halogen lights instead of LEDs, the interior feeling cheap for the price, recalls, reliability issues, etc. Basically, Chevy is charging a lot of money for these things, and some owners feel like you’re not necessarily getting what you’d expect for the price.
So now I’m trying to figure out: Is the Tahoe actually worth the money?
I know I want one. I know I love the way it looks. The amount of space would also be PERFECT for my business since I’m a caterer/personal chef and constantly have to transport food, equipment, coolers, trays, etc.
But at the same time, I don’t want to spend $40k+ and then six months later be sitting there thinking, “Man… this thing really wasn’t worth $40,000.” I also really don’t want something that’s constantly giving me problems.
I can’t afford a brand-new 2025/2026 model, especially with 2027 coming soon anyway, so I’m mostly interested in 2021+ Tahoes.
I know this question has probably been asked here a million times, but one more time for me:
For those of you who actually own a 2021+ Tahoe, how has your experience been? Do you genuinely love it? Any major problems? And knowing what you know now, do you honestly think it was worth the money? Would you buy one again?
I’ve looked at the other brands in the same full-size SUV class too, but none of them really do anything for me like the Tahoe does.
It’s like walking through a casino in Vegas with hundreds of slot machines everywhere, and for some reason one machine suddenly lights up brighter than everything else and immediately catches your eye.
That’s the fucking Tahoe for me.
I have an 07 LT that had factory rear seat dvd. I swapped the radio to a Pinoeer AVH 1400 NEX using the PAC 31 harness and the necessary adapter. Everything works but I’m getting tired of listening to Daniel Tiger on car rides. I’ve purchase a pair of IR headphones on Amazon but from all my research I don’t thing this is the solution because anytime the radio detects audio from my phone when it’s plugged in for CarPlay it shuts off the DVD. Any advice? Do I need a different radio that has dual zone audio?
so I recently got a 2003 Tahoe 5.3 for free but it has low oil pressure at hot idle it about 3psi 2000rpm about 15-18psi, I’ve replaced the o ring in the oil pick up have a acdelco oil filter changed the oil pan gasket and I’ve changed the oil pressure sensor with a acdelco one and I’ve tested it with a gauge and it’s about the same as on the dash any ideas what wrong with it.
Lifters starting failing so I swapped for a 383
Texas Speed 383 CID forged-iron short block
TSP 4340 Forged crankshaft
TSP H-beam forged connecting rods
Wiseco forged pistons/rings — 3cc
Melling 10355 performance oil pump
IWIS timing chain
LS2 chain damper
TSP Stage 2 truck cam
212° / 218° duration
.600” / .600” lift
PAC 1219 beehive valve springs
.625” maximum lift capability
Johnson Racing slow-leakdown link-bar lifters
Johnson lifter trays
Upgraded pushrods
CHE rocker-arm trunnion upgrade
new 6L80 transmission
Circle D billet torque converter_1,800–2,200 RPM stall
Heavy-duty 40k transmission cooling
OEM head, headers and exhaust
Performance dyno tune
🔴 Previous run: 254.8 WHP / 283.1 WTQ.
215k mile 5.3 before tune
🔵 Previous run: 262.8 WHP / 290.3 WTQ
215k mile 5.3 after tune
🟢 TSP 383: 317.7 WHP / 356.1 WTQ
383 peak torque: 356 WTQ @ ~4,070 RPM
383 peak power: 318 WHP @ ~5,320 RPM
Using an ~18% drivetrain-loss estimate, that puts the 383 around 387 HP / 434 lb-ft at the crank.
Now ready for a supercharger
Sounds like it runs clean and is fully loaded. Its a 2011 fully loaded ltz which is nice but i heard they have issues with lifter failure. Thank you
Hi guys, I'm in the middle of the trip back home from holidays and suddenly the AC gave up on me.
After a stop for refueling I got back on the highway but air vents are blowing only hot air.
Before the stop regular freezing air, right after the stop the AC compressor isn't even starting up.
Stopped at the next station, checked and replaced all fuses having to do with AC, opened the engine fuse box to check the integrity of the wires inside there but the compressor isn't even starting up...
I can't hear it clacking and starting.
Even the additional radiator fan I've connected to the AC, which is supposed to run continuously when the AC is on, is starting.
Any ideas?
Question: how does these HVAC systems work?
Meaning, a sudden loss of gas from the AC circuit could prevent the compressor from starting or it would start anyway, only not blowing fresh air?
Hi everyone, I'm launching a global brainstorming: my 2001 Chevy Tahoe LT doesn't blink when opening/closing with the fob and it's very annoying to me as I always have to listen or pull an handle to check if he actually opens/closes when I push the buttons.
How can I make him blink like once when closing and twice when opening?
Is there some hack I can do on him or maybe some aftermarket "electric box" I can connect somewhere to make him do that?
Mine is on most of the time, 2012 Tahoe LTZ. It seems to go off for a while when I use the blinker but then it comes on again. I’m guessing it’s faulty, or dirty, anyone know where it is?
I know Tahoes aren't known for great MPG, but 11mpg makes me want to drive off a fucking cliff.
Thinking on buying a Chevrolet Tahoe-V8 5.7 1999 with 124.274 miles for 21.898 usd.
I am curious on its reliability or known issues.
I appreciate anyone’s opinion or experience with this vehicle!
Hi kinda freaking out right now because I have to pick my daughter up from daycare in 4 hours. I have an 07 chevy tahoe 5.3L V8 and got a dashboard message this morning “Engine hot A/C turned off” along with my gauge moving. Started at 210 and thats where it normally sits and then it goes all the way up to the 220-240/50 area. Is this a coolant issue?? I ordered Dexcool because thats what google said and plan to look at it once car cools. I also want to mention, when I got home and got out after the car was shut off I heard like a hissing noise or like air was being released coming from my hood?? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated — I do not have anyone in my life to help with this as my father passed away so please be kind ☺️
Let my friend borrow my 2007 Tahoe for a bit, gives me the keys and my power steering is gone. I don’t know how much this’ll cost me to fix but I am less than happy about it.
I have a 2011 Tahoe with 215k miles, she runs great looks good. I’ve been eyeing a 2014 Sequoia with 220k miles mostly because my co- worker has been raving about her fabulous ride (Sequoia). Can someone talk me out it before I get myself a 11k loan.
