    Oh brother, shop rates.

    Damn! My daughter's grandfather (ex's dad) was quoted almost $300 to swap out a belt tensioner and an idler pulley on his 2013 Silverado. I told him I'd do it for a case of Yuengling. I had the job done in 15 minutes. Perfect example of how it behooves us to learn how to fix our own ****.

    Gas Tank Gassy

    Make sure the line going to the purge thing up front is clear. I ran compressed air thru mine and it still had a TON of charcoal pellets in it.

    There's an SSV in my future - the search is on

    That you, George? Welcome! A lot of great info here. -Joel What are prices looking like in Cali? I bought my 2013 PPV (retired Springdale, Arkansas vehicle) with 125k miles on it for $9k. It is super clean. There are a few dealers in the southeast that regularly stock police vehicles at...

    2009 Yukon Replacement Headlight Housings

    I just put some from American Trucks on my wife's Tahoe. I bought from them years ago for new headlamp housings for my F-150 and they held up great. They were Depo brand, if I remember correctly. The ones I bought for my wife aren't the same brand so, not sure if they'll hold up as well...

    Avoid GM Parts Giant if at all Possible

    I wish I remembered this thread. I ordered a new fuel tank through GMPD for my wife's 2011 Z71. It's supposed to come tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    Knock when cold

    My 2013 5.3 LMG slaps like a pimp on a cold start up. It's funny though because when it's REALLY cold, it doesn't do it. Seems like when the ambient temp is 45-50+ overnight and I start up in the morning it'll slap until a little heat gets into the motor. Usually only takes 5-10 seconds at...

    2010 Tahoe High Beam question - SOLVED

    My PPV brights don't work in the "flash" function when you pull back on the stalk. They do work when I push the stalk forward to turn the high beams on. Is that what you're experiencing, OP?

    This is my Tahoe PPV.

    Nice looking PPV!

    $18K Repair on 2010 Burb? Yup, it made sense.

    $18k is cheaper than a new Burb or Hoe! LOL

    Lurking no longer, now a PPV owner

    Nice looking truck! Another silver 2013 PPV owner here. Mine was a Springdale, Arkansas patrol rig. Also have a 2011 Tahoe Z71 that is my wife's daily.

    Anyone with a silver Tahoe ?

    So you're going to commit a crime to get out of a fix-it ticket. Smooth thinking!

    Maybe help clear up several questions about PPV;s

    I have a 2013 PPV that I had tuned recently and it's pretty quick for a 5k pound elephant. The speed limiter was set to 99 when my tuner looked at everything. He removed that and did some other stuff like bump the timing a little, firmed up the transmission, disabled AFM, etc. It's a hell of...

    That's awesome! My aunt lived in Wells and was the superintendent of schools there until the early 90's. We have a lake cottage up halfway between Augusta and Belfast.

    Nah, it's intermittent although it seems like it happens more when turning. I am going to address it when I get home. Out of the CONUS until Friday. It'll go several days without happening and then it will do it two or three times in a 10 mile round trip. It's very odd.
