    Police leftovers

    The wires coming from the seat belt area near where the divider used to be, could have been for a shot gun locking mechanism, that was controlled by a button on the light / siren module between the front seats. The direction arrow stick in the back window probably was hooked up to the light /...

    Suburban/ Yukon XL 2500 Bull Bar

    I have a 2005 and a 2015 Suburban, the 2015 being a PPV, and I have / had SETINA bars on the front of both of them. The SETINA bar is exactly what the local law enforcement use. Your best bet is to contact the bar manufacturer and ask them to tell you which mounting kit is required for your bar...

    Front air dam ??

    I have the same SETINA push bumper on my 2015 PPV Suburban, and I actually took the lower air dam OFF, in order to improve the wind resistance issues and also to make the truck look a lot sleeker !!!

    Remove airbag stickers?

    Have you tried a product called GOO GONE ??? It’s an adhesive remover that I usually buy at the dollar store. The stuff works great on pretty well anything I’ve ever used it on to get rid of stickers and such !!! smells like oranges, so not offensive either.

    Considering an SSV and have some questions

    Hello, aren’t you supposed to run in auto 4x4 all the time ? That’s what I am doing with my 2016 PPV Suburban. Should I be running it in 2wd all the time, if I don’t need 4 wheel drive ? What can go wrong ?

    LED vanity lights.......

    Hi, if the other three led lights worked until you put the fourth one in, it could be that you have a small short in one of the led segments on the fourth bulb ? Take the other three bulbs back out, check and replace your fuse, and then try to install the fourth bulb first. If the fuse blows or...

    What can cause a hot AC on an auction vehicle?

    Hi, typically, if the truck is not driven for a long time, you can loose some refrigerant charge through the compressor seal. If the truck is driven, the seal is kept working , in the summer, and is supplied with oil to keep it lubricated, but if the truck sits for a long time, the seal can...

    Help me prepare for my motor swap.

    One thing that I always used to do while I worked in the HVAC field working on huge centrifugal chillers was to put all your screws, nuts, bolts, etc, into separate zip lock bags as you take them off, and LABLE THEM as to exactly what they are so that you can reassemble it a LOT easier. LABLE...

    New Tires - who's running 44psi ???

    Hello, I’m running BFG AT’s M+S on my 2015 Suburban PPV and I had that scrubbing noise as well. It is the tires being oversized and rubbing on the fender liner when you kick your wheels over all the way. I went to my mechanic and he took a knife and just cut out the offending spot where it was...

    Buffeting

    Hey, I am experiencing the same thing, that buffeting noise from outside. I have. 2015 Suburban PPV. Almost seems like your drivers door is not closed all the way. I thought that maybe the weatherstripping was worn out ? I was going to try and fish some small vinyl tubing into the large tubular...

    New ppv owner

    Sorry, but I have a 2015 PPV/SSV and it has 4wheel drive as well as a trailer hitch on it. It also came with this huge assed tactical assault style front bumper with a 12,000 lb winch built into it as well. The police force kept the winch, and the dealer took the bumper off and replaced all the...

    Won’t fill Very strong odor of gas

    I had the same thing happen as well. Went to my mechanic and we worked together to drop the tank. Fuel vent nipple was broken off. We did have a bear of a time trying to get the old pump out. Took three try’s before we finally got the correct pump for the suburban from the jobber. Back in was a...
