    2015-2020 Locking Gas Cap

    Brining this one up from the graveyard of old posts! Has anyone actually found one that works on a 2018 Tahoe? It appears we were the victims of a fuel theft on our PPV, of all things. The trouble is we don't know exactly where it happened, as we were out running errands and on the drive...

    New PPV Owner Florida

    Welcome! Our 2010 PPV came from CopCars (see avatar). It was a great truck. Replaced it with a 2018. The 2010-2011 body styles get more, er, 'respect' than the later body PPVs, but we really own them for their HD equipment and all the stupid bells and whistles they don't have. Enjoy!!

    PPV Poor Turning Radius

    Double-check the steering rack mounting bushings. IIRC, some years can have issues with the bushings crumbling away.

    Something Rolling Behind the Dash

    Finally had time, cooperative weather, and the vehicle at home so I could have a look at this issue. Sure enough, one of the overhead console mounting screws were laying in the panel and dropped into my lap when I popped the panel off to have a look. When I re-secured that screw, I figured I'd...

    Hot plastic smell after driving?

    Not on our '18 PPV, but I DO get that from our '25 1500 AT4. Very disconcerting, but figured it was probably fresh plastic outgassing with heat cycles.

    Third row seat added to 2016 PPV

    May hold off on this for a while. Most places are wanting $200-$300, PLUS $100-$200 just for shipping. Maybe we'll do some junkyard crawls when the weather warms a bit.

    Third row seat added to 2016 PPV

    Good to know. Thank you. I'll let the first captain of this craft know the issues and see if we will pursue getting one.

    Have you ever ridden in the back seat of your own vehicle?

    Heck no!! That's where the perps, and the pups ride!! :D Seriously, though, yes, but not often.

    AGM Battery in 2016 Yukon SLT

    Just replaced the battery in our '18 PPV. I was actually surprised to find it only lasted 3 years, but figured the people we bought it from went cheap before the truck sold. It's her DD, and does get driven nearly every day. We did replace it with an AGM, so will be interested to see how long...

    Something Rolling Behind the Dash

    After the glove box, that was the second place we looked. Nothing. Worth it for the OP to have a look, though. I then took my endoscope and went searching in the HVAC vents and the area between the dash and console. Again, nothing. While heading out to run errands the other day, I heard...

    Newb Advice needed: Going to pick up auction PPV [Picked up!]

    Congrats on the new truck! Did that thing sit outside before you bought it? If so, I'd run a Q-Tip in the door drain holes so you get the mud and accumulated water out of them so no sloshing around when driving. The right rear door on our '10 needed cleaning about once a year. Dual...

    Something Rolling Behind the Dash

    There should be a couple of drains at the bottom of the door, probably partially-hidden by the door-to-body seal. They would ALWAYS get plugged up on our '10 PPV. Simple fix, just take a Q-tip and jamb it up in the hole to clean out all the schmutz.

    Something Rolling Behind the Dash

    Heh, ours also seems to have something rolling around behind the dash. Since it's an ex-sherriff's truck, we figure it's a loose round. It'll come and go, and is quite annoying when it's there. I'll have to have a look behind the overhead console and see.

    Third row seat added to 2016 PPV

    Just ran across this. I know RC45's post is YEARS old, but am wondering if the 'Suburban luggage bin' referred to above is the Suburban rear cargo area 'organizer', as GM refers to it as? One of the things that annoys me the most about our '18 PPV is the general lack of storage space for small...
