    Police Tahoe Package-Anything special with the engine?

    My 09 Z56 PPV had an issue where it would just go dead after I pulled up somewhere. I found that the Negative battery cable had a bad crimp at the battery terminal. I used a propane touch and electrical flux solder and soldered the connection no more issues. Check your grounds at the engine...

    Michelin Premier LTX or Michelin Defender or Bridgestone Dueler????

    I went with the Michelin Premier LTX in a 275/55/17 on my Tahoe Z56 PPV. They have worked great here in the Chicago area this winter. The police Tahoe's came with the Goodyear RSA tires in a 265/60/17 and a very soft compound, UTG of 260.. I am very happy with these tires.

    Anyone Running a CB Radio

    That is the Firestick SS-174 Mount, I have one and I could not get it to look right on my 09 Tahoe Z56 PPV. I ended up making my own mount for the right side fender and used a base loaded antenna.

    Anyone Running a CB Radio

    Keith, I have used a Wilson 1000 magnetic mount antenna and a Uniden HR-2510 and had good results. I have ordered stuff from Copper Electronics. www.copper.com A Cobra 29 LX is a nice radio. A Wilson 1000 is a great antenna. You are going to spend about $200.00
