2009 Tahoe Z56 PPV

[HERD546]

Guys what are the key codes in the glove box sticker for the Z56 for a Posi, 3:42 / 3:73 gears and the code for Z56? I am looking at buying one and want to make sure I am getting the right truck..

Z56 is police package isn't it?

I don't know any codes but, as far as I know, all PPV Tahoe's come with 3:73s.

Hi HERD546,

Are you looking for a list of RPO Codes for your vehicle? Can I be of any assistance? I would be happy to provide you the Vehicle Build Sheet for your vehicle with the list of all the RPO Codes. Could you provide me your VIN?

Hmm, I thought that the PPV got 3.08's for better high speed performance. It looks like the 3.73 great is a GT4 code. The 3.42 should be a GU6, and you'll probably see a G80 - posi-traction diff there, too. And while you should find the PPV code, You may not see the Z56.

Welcome, Paul! Another SS/Tahoe owner here! We retired my wife's 95 9C1 and replaced it with a PPV, and couldn't be happier!

I was noticing your SS to, I'm just a wee little jealous, hah.
One drove by my house yesterday, so nice.

I got the Tahoe over the weekend and Its here in my garage. It has the 3:73 gears. I like how it runs and handles. Now have to get the paperwork done with the state.. I will post some photos SSoon..

 

[992dr]

Awesome, congrats on the new ride.
I have an 07 PPV. They're a blast to drive and handle
a lot better than you'd think for a 5200lb SUV.
Lookin forward to your pics.

Here is a shot of my Z56 Tahoe..

 

[sbubbaklein]

looks nice, white is timeless, easy to touch up

 

[992dr]

Nice man, looks great.
White does look good and is a heck of a lot easier to maintain.

Are the tires RSAs? They look a little taller.

 

[HERD546]

It has BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires.. In a P265/70R17 size.. They are taller 31.5 Inches. I am looking into other tire options. These are somewhat noisy and don't grip like the tires that should be on it.. They also make the speedometer slow by 5 MPH..

 

[992dr]

Are you looking for on-road tires?

I'm looking at some new tires for mine. The RSAs wear out so darn fast its ridiculous. They are amazing dry pavement tires, wet, not so great.
I'm looking at Nitto NT 420S, Nexen ROADIAN HP SUV and whatever pops up at discount tire. The Nittos are a half inch taller and maybe a 1/4" wider.

I was on Tire Rack and saw the Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S G052 in a 275/55R17 They have a UTQG of 460 AA, I have not looked at the reviews yet.. We have Yokohama's on my wife's 08 Impala LT they seem good.. I have some time to do some research on tires.. I know that we get snow and ice here but I have been driving RWD cars for a long time. If the weather sucks I have a company owned Ford F250 Super Duty 4X4 to drive if needed..

I am not a big Goodyear fan, If you look at the UTQG for the RSA's its 260 AA That shows that they are soft. I have a set of Goodyear Ultra Grip ICE tires for my 95 Caprice SS Wagon that I run in the winter time P225/70R15 on the 9C1 rims.. They are shot now but I am selling my wagon and will put some Cooper Cobras on the 9C1 rims.. I have gotten cars over the years and they came with Goodyear tires and they came off in short order.. I had a 86 Celebrity Euro Sport wagon with the Goodyear Eagle GT-II.s they sucked..

 

[CrashTestDummy]

Nice! Looks like our '10.

 

[HERD546]

I took my Tahoe to the tint shop for a Visor.. 5% limo black on the top of the windshield.
