    2021/2022 PPV wheel part number

    I am thinking about getting a set of Blizzaks for winter use and want some steelies to mount them on. Seems like some ‘cop wheels’ would be a great choice. Does anyone know the PN for them?? TIA

    People flashing their brights at me...

    Update on this... I decided not to do any complicated measuring and, instead, just a guess and check method of adjusting. I also counted turns so I could get back to where I started if need be. Anyway, one turn down seems to work great for me. No more bright flashers and only a minimal...

    Thanks for posting this. You are right. That screw is there and does adjust the height of the beam. Follow up question, why can I not find a decent Chevy service department?!? :mad:

    FWIW, I finally talked to a dealer about this and the service dude was adamant that they are not adjustable on the Tahoe. I have not looked for myself but I find this pretty hard to believe. He did say they burn in a bit and are extra bright when brand new. I have not been flashed in quite...

    Who’s Towed?

    I’ve towed our boat a bit. With gear and trailer just shy of 8k pounds so right at the limit. Frontal area is pretty big too, 8.5’ beam and over 9’ to the top of the windshield. My 5.3 rst was unphased by it, 9.9 mpg through two cities and a 20 mile stretch of 60mph in between. Kinda...

    2021 Tahoe RST Abismal mileage

    You are definitely idling this thing a ton or just sitting in traffic with it. You stated earlier 160 hours at 1,500 miles. Just think about that math, you are averaging under 10 miles per hour of engine use. That is incredibly low and possibly low to the point of causing problems with the...

    Roof rack cross bar height on Tahoe

    I am pretty happy to report that everything worked out as planned. This big beast fits through my garage door with cargo box on top. I’ll have to say it looks pretty good too. To answer my original question, the OEM roof rack cross bars peak at 4.5” above the center of my roof which, on the...

    Roof rack cross bar height on Tahoe

    Thanks for that. Not sure how the heights of our trucks compare with being a different trim level. Hopefully mine is a bit shorter because that is too tall to work the way I would like. I went ahead and ordered up a yakima cbx 16 (14" tall) and the factory cross rails. My best estimate from...

    Roof rack cross bar height on Tahoe

    My door is 95” clear and my truck is around 75” with nothing inside. The boxes are 17ish tall above the bar depending on which one I get. Like I said, gonna be close!

    Roof rack cross bar height on Tahoe

    Thanks for posting this but I am not sure those are the numbers I am after. Looks like it is in mm and the difference with and without the rack is only 7mm or roughly 1/4”. Maybe I am missing something, but judging by the picks of these cross bars it should be 10 or so times that much.

    Roof rack cross bar height on Tahoe

    Does anyone have the GM cross bars for the roof rack that they could measure for me? I am in the market for a rooftop cargo box and I really, really want to be able to pull in the garage with it on the vehicle. Looks like I might have the room for it with the right cargo box but it is going to...

    Strap with hook in the glove box, what is this for?

    Well, I finally made use of it today in my own way. No more explosive canisters rolling around in my trunk. Pretty easy to deploy if you leave it adjusted correctly.

    Truck is 100% stock.

    Yes, that is somewhat common in this area as well so I am familiar with how that typically works. These are definitely not courtesy flashes though, some are even just turning their high beams on and leaving them on as apposed to flashing them.

    I have not. I can’t find a procedure on how to properly adjust them. The manual says to have a dealer do it but my dealer is an absolute mess and I generally try to avoid them if possible.
