Tahoe PPV Deflector installed on 15 Suburban (shorter lower valance that comes on Police model)

[Blueinterceptor]

That is a much nicer and cleaner look

Any luck putting it on?

Ok it does NOT fit on my 2017 Denali. The rounded edges are a slightly different shape. Cutting and trimming the stock piece is next.

Dark Star,
Sorry to hear it doesn't work, I am sure others on the forum will be glad to know before they gave it a try themselves on Yukon/Escalade.

Do you have pictures of the fitment issues?

 

[Dark Star]

Some pics of the trimmed valance. Not sure if you can see it but we tried to follow the lines of the stock one. Needs a little sanding to clean it up.

looks very clean! How about a Side Picture?

Here you go.

Looks much much better than before, kind of reminds me of us riding sports bikes, the first thing we do is remove the rear "snow shovel" long legal tail...

 

[Dark Star]

That's why we rode KTM's didn't have that problem.

Was this a direct bolt onto the Chevrolet? Or did it require alterations? How much did it cost?

100% Direct bolt on for tahoe and suburban, cost about 225 to 250$, and I paid an hour of labor or 2 to get a body shop to remove the stock piece and install the new one.

How many inches does this take off from the original deflector ? This is a great idea as my old Chevrolet Tahoe (2010) deflector got ripped off while jumping a curb.

The new one is about 1/4 the size of the original one, I will measure it this evening to give you an exact number

We just finished putting on GM Part # 23365760

It is the Lower Deflector that comes on Tahoe PPV. it is about 1/4 of the length of the stock piece.

It's a small mod but I believe it has changed the look on our suburban quite a lot, we like it.

I got it at, for 281 plus shipping
https://www.gmpartso...lector-23365760

The main reason was to gain ground clearance, for these off-road times, like when parking at a mall to clear curbs

Also already helps on steep driveways and coming out of parking lots...



The removal of the old piece and installation of the new one was quite simple. Remove some bolts/ torque screws, pushing down some clip, partial removal of front wheels liners.



I can't comment on any decrease in MPG on highway, as we use this truck in town.

How much was your shipping? I looked at both the links posted in the forum and its about an addition $40-50!

I paid 282 for the deflector plus 33$ of shipping.

 

[empire_designs]

anyone have any pics of a stock 15-17 tahoe / burb one cut down?

 

[tdriver113]

11 inches of clearance in front of the tires.

 

[BigBlueLB756]

Measure down from the ends 5 5/8" and cut across from the center gap.

Have you tracked the MPG at all since you have put this on?

I have not seen any difference.
Right after I installed it, a few months back, we went on a 400 miles trip, got hand calculated around 24 mpg, going 65mph

So, I think it's safe to say that it does have an effect on MPG, it's minimal and nothing compared to putting offroad tires, or even heavier 22 or bigger wheels and tires.

My almost worn out Goodyear fuel assurance, along with the rest of the engineering is really what helps the mpg
