    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    Ya, I like the lower height of the PPV's too. But we often get lots of snow during Winter, so the 4WD of an SSV really comes in handy. I suppose the SSV is a good compromise between a PPV and a consumer package. I like having the more basic setup with fewer electronics, more room in the back...

    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    I figured they were probably the same size, just wasn't sure about the offset or bolt pattern. BTW those BFG KO2's look crazy compared to my Goodyear Wranglers. Once these are done, I'll probably spring for Michelin LTX. I had those on my previous truck (93 C1500) and never got stuck again...

    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    Odd spacers aside, I love having the metal bolt-on center caps vs. the plastic ones with the fake lugnuts. They tended to come loose and rattle, and just weren't as durable overall. I'm tempted to get a spare wheel or two before they get even harder to find. On a side note, do the 2015+...

    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    The bolt and spacer length is also pretty critical, otherwise the bolts go through the rim and press on the wheel hub. I think the factory length is 20mm. The part number I was given was 11515756. Not sure why the tire shop had issues, since all of the bolts looked flush with the back of the...

    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    The wheel swap was a success. Still need to clean and wax the truck, but it looks a lot better than the rusty silver wheels. These came from LKQ Online, from 2 different PPV's. The tire shop nearly tossed out 3 of the original hub spacers because they were loose. Luckily I asked about them...

    Thanks! I also found some OEM takeoffs for the lugnuts, so I should have everything I need now.

    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    I ordered 4 PPV wheels from LKQ. 1 pair each from 2 different trucks. Here's hoping the center caps will be included. I'm assuming I'll need new lug nuts unless LKQ includes them. Are the 09596070 the correct ones for a 2011? Any recommendations on which ones are good quality if I can't...

    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    Both look pretty good actually. I kinda like the chrome caps when everything else is blacked out. Either way it looks better than my rusty silver painted wheels with the consumer grade plastic hubcaps that rattle. I'd just paint them, but the beads are pitted too, and a couple of them have...

    2011 SSV, Anyone use the QV9 PPV wheels? Also seat position sensor question

    My 2011 SSV came with the silver NX7 option wheels and plastic hub caps. Since they are in rough shape, I'm thinking about picking up some of the black QV9 wheels that were used on the PPV. I assume the specs are all the same and it would be a direct swap using my exisitng tires? For a while...

    2011 SSV, 6J4 Horn Connector Help Needed

    Yep, it does have that RPO. I didn't realize that it affected the key fob as well.

    2011 SSV, 6J4 Horn Connector Help Needed

    My assumptions were correct. I took the thin wire that had 12 volts on it and grounded it (through a resistor for safe current-limiting) and the horn honked. So then I connected both thin wires together and the horn now works. I also noticed that it will work whether the key is on or off...

    2011 SSV, 6J4 Horn Connector Help Needed

    I have a 2011 SSV, and am trying to figure out the 6J4 connector for the horn. I see that there are two thin, tan wires coming from a cloth-wrapped loom, one of which still has the 6J4 tag on it. Each thin tan wire is spliced to a thicker tan wire that runs under the floor mat and down under...

    Driver's door not shutting tight enough?

    My 2011 Tahoe has been leaking water around the driver's door and flooding the cable trough under the sill plate. I replaced both rubber weather strips and made sure the door drains were clear, but the problem persisted. Today I found frozen water droplets on the face of the inner...

    What does your oil pressure run at? Cold vs. fully up to temp?

    I think it's an LMG but I'd have to double check. The pick-up O-ring got changed when the oil pump was replaced. Same for the relief valve. This is actually an SSV model that was used by a local police dept. The service records show that the camshaft was replaced at 103k miles. Hopefully...

    What does your oil pressure run at? Cold vs. fully up to temp?

    The dealership said it was within spec. Though I'm not sure how long they left it running at full operating temp when they tested it. Even after fully warming up, it still takes a bit of driving before the pressure drops. It's like the oil keeps getting thinner over time, even though the temp...
