    Tire size for 22" wheels and 3"/4" drop?

    Really looking for feedback from those of you who drive your GMT900's a lot. What size tire do you all recommend? I take my Tahoe everywhere, sometimes 5+ hour trips. I am only looking for mileage here, with no concerns over speed or load ratings. I am pretty big on brand, so I can figure that...

    Spotting? Anyone around Charleston, SC?

    Took a trip all last week, and left Charleston around 6:30pm or so heading back to NC. I saw a '900 behind me on 26, distinctly saw a silver body and blue hood. I know SCHP has some 900's in their fleet still, but didn't recognize the blue hood. When it passed, the tailgate was blue too. I...

    Complete audio overhaul/replacement (install thread)

    Figured I'd share here, since I updated this install in my own build thread in the PPV forum. Nothing ground breaking by any means, but showing what I decided to go with since I wanted "better than stock" audio. First thing I did was choose a head unit. I wanted to use Android Auto, so it...

    Morimoto Bi-Xenon retrofit - Installation thread

    Long story short, I had a thread from 2018 for a retrofit that I had adjustment issues with.....so I parted it out and went LED. Since that info was no longer relevant, I wanted to clean the thread up and remove all the old stuff, since I just successfully completed the retrofit on the 2 d...

    AlphaRex Pro - Headlight review

    As promised, I told several folks on here I would post up a review of my AlphaRex Pro projector headlights. I wanted to take some time to get some things adjusted, and also have some fair driving time in before I posted a review. I can compromise with some things, but others I am very particular...

    Found a Highway Patrol Tahoe like mine, still in service!

    I found a NC Highway Patrol GMT900 that is outfitted 100% like mine was, when it was in service. Interesting note, the Highway Patrol unit is obviously on stock PPV drivetrain, including the low profile Goodyear RSA 265/60's. My PPV is on Belltech Suspension 720SP, which I believe is...

    Rear view mirror with ambient/compass (without backup camera)

    I searched in every way I could think, but it appears just about anyone who has done a mirror upgrade on a PPV here has gone with the backup camera mirror. Hoping someone has done the auto dim/compass/ambient mirror swap. From what little I can find elsewhere online, if the OEM mirror doesn't...

    "Dumb" rearview mirror for GMT900

    Hoping someone may have a mint and plain rear view mirror for a GMT900 that you may have taken off when you converted to a compass mirror. My OEM mirror is delaminating at a rapid pace. Let me know what you've got! Looking for mint condition only, no defects. I've got too many of those. :)

    Speedo/Tach/Oil Pressure stopped working

    Good evening all, I tried searching several ways, I promise! I was driving home today and noticed my speedo, tach, and oil pressure gauge stopped working. I tried cycling through the DIC and saw some other things were not reporting, like oil life and a few other things. The pointers for the...

    Anyone replaced a rear hatch/tailgate on a GMT900?

    Curious, as I am likely going to buy a replacement for my Tahoe. The hinges are very easily accessible, my curiosity has to do with the wiring harness and rear wiper connections. I would hope they were fairly easily accessible, but just wondering if anyone was familiar and might have some...

    Dashcam Install - No adapter needed!

    I ordered the Rove R2-4K camera a few weeks ago, finally got off my ass to install it. Aside from modifying the cigarette adapter, it literally took 6 minutes. Being we are in the pandemic, I didn't feel like waiting 2 weeks for a USB adapter. Once I thought about it, it didn't make sense to...

    Anyone grab power from their rear view mirror for a camera?

    I've been on the forum for 45 minutes searching through threads, I can't find a write up anywhere on it. Believe me, I've searched. I know how this works too, one of you is going to find a thread immediately. o_O :baby: Anyways, I've picked up a dashcam and want to grab power from the mirror...

    Aftermarket head unit swap in your PPV

    Posted purposely in this sub-forum Have any of you guys installed an aftermarket head unit into your PPV or SSV? I searched, all I can find in the last thread was @Ron C and his OEM/Nav swap. Not interested in that, specifically looking for a unit with internal BT and AndroidAuto, but more...

    Android Auto head unit with BT and SWC

    Hoping folks have still been adding these, just not much talk lately about these head units. With a slew of Chinese no-name radios all over Amazon, it's hard to sift through them all. I see the no-name units for $150-269, and the name brand stuff is just over $300. I want good working...

    Rear OEM coil springs for PPV

    Selling my pair of OEM rear coils from my PPV. The only reason I changed them was to install a complete Belltech kit, so I actually lowered the truck even more. IIRC these are a few inches lower than a stock spring, so this will level out your 2007-2014 Tahoe (non-PPV) and give it the same...

    Loss of all needle gauges, ABS light, smell of coolant, no codes

    Experienced a weird one last night, wanted to run it across the forum to see if any of you guys had experienced anything like this. Last night, I started the Tahoe and immediately noticed the ABS light was on and none of my needle gauges worked in the cluster, except for the voltmeter. All of...

    2010 Threadlock Champion of the WORLD

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the 2010 Threadlock Champion of the World. After over 9 years and 202,000 miles, I found it hidden on my own truck! This bolt hadn't been removed since my Tahoe was assembled in late 2009, it's a caliper bracket bolt. To prove that, both assembly line...

    LED headlights in stock housings - My Install and feedback

    There are tons of threads, some have tons of replies. I really researched this forum for several days, it was really hard to find any conclusive feedback on LED's. I pondered between Spyder headlights and a projector retrofit, I even bought $400 worth or Morimoto to retrofit my stock...

    SHOW ME YOUR DIC - I need a trim plate with DIC cutout

    Hey folks, I need a dash plate with the DIC cutout for a 2007-2014. It doesn't matter what condition or finish the trim is in, or if its the entire dash plate or just the piece of trim for the DIC itself. I'm going to be wrapping it, therefore scratches and cracks don't matter.......as long as...

    Splitting Spyder Headlights - Anyone done this lately?

    Anyone performed this task? I've heard since they are permaseal, they are pretty tough to get open......even more so than OEM. Just wondering if anyone with experience with the Spyders can share any suggestions. Since I ditched retrofitting the OEM style headlight to projectors, I've seen lots...

    2007-2014 Headlights - Two sets of brand new lenses

    Folks, I have up for sale two brand new pairs of lenses for your 2007-2014 Tahoe. I had 3 pairs, but I replaced my factory lenses with a set on my stock headlights. This is the absolute best and cleanest way to bring your headlights back to life, actually back to new........and you get to retain...

    Anyone running Spyder headlights with LED's for a 07-14 Tahoe?

    Yeah, I've searched. Yeah, I see the sticky threads and have read/searched them too. Spare yourself criticism about searching, its not easy with common words. I am specifically looking for anyone with a 07-14 Tahoe that is running LED's with the projectors in the Spyders, and wondering how it...

    DIY Thread - Properly separating your headlights

    Ok folks, I've now mastered the art of separating these headlights from Tahoe's/Avalanches/etc. After getting absolutely owned by my last pair, I didn't look forward to splitting another new set. This pair is the same Amazon replicas that I had so much difficulty with last time, and I split each...
