  Welcome to the world of Chevrolet transmissions... Mine went out at 71K miles and the replacement is now giving me fits because the Torque Converter is not unlocking properly. The dealer says "no problem found" which is basically the "that's the way it is" answer you are getting. Good Luck!

  RE: 2012 Chevy Tahoe LTZ, 2WD, 36month/12k - 1. What are the lease rates and residual value? 2. Any deals with remaining at Ally as seen in your prior posts? 3. Given rise in gas prices, any leverage with this vehicle now? 4. Just moved to Texas and learned they have higher lease rates due to tax on total price. Any thoughts on leasing here? Thanks for any help. DMC
