    DIY Alternator Replacement

    Yeah the white lithium grease and some grunt got it in there. The left side went right in but the right side took a little more cussing to get it in there. Without the grease it would have probably been a lot worse.

    Oil pressure issue

    Lake Speed is awesome! I got some Oil Analysis done with them and it was very detailed. I need to get it done on the Tahoe next go round.

    How to override your Dome Light setting

    I didn’t really think the section at the top of the control was intended to be pressed. I thought it was a label that corresponded to the dial/knob. Not the actual plastic piece above the knob. That’s where I was confused. But had I opened up the manual I could have solved my confusion.

    Engine Bay Cleaning

    So for me personally, I do not think using tire foam as a one step cleaner on anything is good. It’s basically foaming up a ton of grease grime and dirt and then bubbling it down to a shiny finish. Short cuts in car detailing are nothing new, but I’ve yet to find one that is worth it. Where...

    How to override your Dome Light setting

    Not sure if this applies to all 2007-2014 Tahoes, but I just figured out how the dome light override feature works in the 2012 PPV. I did a video on it (link below) for anyone who was like me and did not know this. It’s sort of hidden in plain sight if you ask me. I feel kinda dumb that I rode...

    PPV Poor Turning Radius

    Makes sense. Thanks for the input! I think I’m hearing what I am going through may be normal. I think having the big push bar up front is also making me paranoid I’m going to clip someone with it while entering or exiting spots. But I don’t want to get rid of it bc it looks cool as shit and also...

    PPV Poor Turning Radius

    Yep I definitely park with the vehicle pointing so I can drive out instead of reverse out. Funny I just parked this way right before reading your post! Thanks

    I did move to 70 series tires. I think I’m going to get it aligned and see what cones of it. But if anyone has suggestions beyond that please hmu.

    PPV Poor Turning Radius

    My 2012 Tahoe PPV seems to have AWFUL turning radius. It’s about the only gripe I have with it this far. Is there anything that I should check or anything I can do to make parking this beast a little better? It’s SUPER tough to back out if I’m between cars and there’s a row behind me and the...
