Just picked up my 2016 PPV. So far I love the truck, just not a fan of the radio. Here's a few pictures to get started. Had the Katzkin added and non-stock tires and wheels.

Great site, looking forward to ideas and feedback.

Very nice, and welcome from NC, is it new or used?

 

[dock420]

Thanks for the welcomes. It was bought new. The dealer in the Houston area has/had a few 4x4’s left and quite a few 2 wheel drives. Went from a grand cherokee to this. The only real negative is the radio, the io3 is really limited. The katzkin seems fairly durable, I had it in a p/u a few years back, and liked it.

Welcome. Did you buy it from Classic Chevrolet? I picked up my '16 PPV Tahoe from them in August but didn't go with the Katskinz.

I did. They were great to work with. I live/work in Galveston, but it was worth the drive.

Check out the Rosen systems, very nice upgrade from the IO3.

Part number and price? Did you do the install yourself? I was looking at pioneer systems, but there are so many different models.

GMSERIES 3, they are a bit expensive around $600 but they are a direct replacement and will include navigation as well. They are mostly easy to install, I've done it myself in multiple vehicles (I work for a Chevy dealership in the fleet department doing sales and the equipment upfitting) from police to fire and they have all loved them.

Will I need any other adapters? I got a quote the other day from two install places. For just a fairly basic double din receiver, which is only about $325, and with all of the adapters and modules, it came out to a final price of just north of a grand.

Appreciate all of your help.

Everything is included and its a direct fit replacement so no need for dash kits or anything.

Looks good, just like mine! I’ll be adding some 22/24 wheels in the spring. I suggest you add a LT steering wheel. Makes you truely feel like you’re not in a ppv anymore.

Thanks for that idea. I watched a few videos and it does not look all that difficult. Once we are finished with biker rally here on the island, I'll now have two projects. One, new tunes and two new steering wheel. I was also kicking around finding a carpet kit for the passenger seating area. May help with sound deadening. Has anyone done this? If so, how difficult, and a ball park price.

Thanks

 

[roosh725]

I’m interested to see how the sound upgrade you will complete comes out.

VERY nice Tahoe!! So you bought it brand new, as in not officially in service and just bought as old stock? What did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Sorry guys I'm still new and need to troll more before posting but I'm very excited about getting into my 09 SSV. I just put on the Go Rhino Pushbar and got the truck to pretty much where I want it for now. Need PPV Black Steelies, new heads and taillights and a LED light bar to mount on the GO Rhino bar, maybe a winch

Yep, it was purchased brand new. It’s a 2016 with 12 miles. It was right at $33,400 and then roll in tt&l. They have/had quite a few.

Sounds like you’re doing a some pretty nice upgrades

Got tail lights on Craig's for 40 with harnesses and bulbs (score) just gonna watch for the same with a set of headlights....need to figure out the best LED light bar sitch for this Rhino bar, def want some extra lighting. I just got the DIC button dash installed, have the leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls to go on prob tomorrow!
