My 2010 PPV

[AV2010PPV]

Decided to do a brake flush since I got myself a Motive bleeder for my other cars. I can’t believe how dirty the old fluid was. So glad I decide to flush it.

In 165,000 miles I don’t think the engine was ever detailed. Rightfully so for a previous prison warden car. There’s a first for everything. Before and after pictures included:

Mine next? I did the Airaid, so it’s still fairly clean.

Took the PPV on a long road trip to Angel Fire, NM. Car drove and performed really well even in zero degree weather. One of the TMPS sensors did not appreciate the cold. Luckily I had spares and a reset tool. First year of ownership I put on almost exactly 20k (150k-170k) trouble free miles.

Truck looks good! Jealous of that push bar! I have been looking for one for mine but no luck yet.

It’s a GoRhino 5160, from their public safety series. I bought one from them for my PPV.

Bottle opener came from Amazon.

Looks good. I'll check into one. Thanks.

Well saw that my radiator had a tiny leak so decided to replace it. Flushed out the system several times with fresh coolant. While I was in there I put on a new serpentine belt and air filter. Added some power steering fluid as well.

Clean up

Then I decided to add some red/blue leds near the front visor and rear window. Added some ditch lights for the front and some additional led brake lights for the rear:

Lastly I decided to replace a worn down door handle and wash the car. This Tahoe is getting all the love.

I finally decided to swap my oem Goodyear tires to something with a larger sidewall (265/70/17). Got roughly 25k miles out of the Goodyear tires which was impressive. Also decided to install a catchcan just because I was bored as well as super bright LED reverse lights. Adjusted the striker plate on the drivers front and passenger front door to eliminate some wind noise from both door. Also made bought two extra key fobs and programmed them to have backup keys and fobs. Loving the PPV!

Super bright reverse LED's have been a traditional mod on any of my trucks, so worth it!

You're going to love the difference in the ride on those larger sidewalls!

I love the difference. I actually got the idea from reading yours posts about suspension upgrades.

Where did you get the new rubber floor lining?

Lucked out and found it locally on craigslist.

Decided to upholster my steering wheel and change out my front and rear emblems to aluminum ones. Then it was work time.

Welcome from Florida!

I’m in Palm City Florida. Where are you located?

I figured with the steering wheel looking nice I’d replace the stalk. The flash to pass never worked since I got the car. Once I replaced with an OEM stalk, everything works as should. Double win!
