If that Tahoe has an 4L60E well then my longest EOC was 17 miles and it still works fine.
I have seen plenty of 4L60E and 4L80E transmission vehicles be flat towed over the years.
That myth appears to mostly apply to foreign FWD auto transmission cars.
I know I cant flat tow our auto transmission VW or Hyundai.

My diesel also has hydro boosted brakes and I EOC and brake all the time. The only reason to depend on power brakes is if you have some physical disability limiting the amount of force you can apply to a petal with your leg.

My air dam is about 5 inches and some one else on here has an air dam on here made from a rock conveyer that is 3/4 inches off the ground, its a full size red truck and I cant remember the guys user name.
The lower part of my air dam is made from lawn edging and takes a beating but that's is by design. It is easy to replace.
