    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    I like very old tech. :) Just to wrap this up, the story gets even stranger. I went back to the rebuilder and give a thorough explanation of the issue, which the counter guy made certain that the (very young) tech heard. The counter guy confirmed what j91z28d1 wrote here, that the...

    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    @j91z28d1 wins the diagnostician of the week award, along with my huge thanks. Of the six tests performed by O'Reilly's bench tester, this alternator failed all but the current leakage test. So I'll be returning to the rebuilder to um, share my disappointment with them. I'll let you guys know...

    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    I'd eventually intended to get a proper scan tool for the truck anyway, so that might speed up the process. Do you have any suggestions as to what threads or sites I should look at to get a good sense of the pros and cons of the various options? Looks like one is needed to properly follow the...

    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    I'd guess you're right, but all I have for GM is a generic DTC reader. I typically con the American car shop next door to mine into scanning the only newer GM I've had to date, but this Tahoe is currently getting a lower ball joint replacement at my house (don't ask), so I was hoping to find an...

    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    I did unplug the two wire connector per the instructions in your first post. Zero change. Either their an issue with the PWN signal from the powertrain control module or the alternator is bad. Going to check with a parts store in a bit in hopes they have a bench tester. I'd rather go back to...

    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    Thanks again! Great info. I'll go look at that thread and determine how I want to proceed based on what I learn. I guess this is good news because there is a warranty on the work performed by the rebuilder so you can bet I'll be having a discussion with them. I just want to be 100% confident...

    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    Thanks very much for the reply, j91z28d1 What I meant by "fix it right" is that I asked them to use American bearings and quality parts throughout, as they would in their wives' cars, and that I was willing to wait for quality parts if they weren't in stock. Whether they actually did that is...

    2007 SSV not charging, but good alternator and battery - SOLVED

    New to me 2007 SSV has charging issues. First noticed a "Service Charging System" message in the DIC and the voltmeter staying way low, but eventually popping up to around 15V once the engine ran a while and I'd revved it a bit. At some point the warning message would disappear. I didn't...

    2013 ssv suspension help

    FWIW, I have a noise in mine that's akin to what you describe. Turns out the wheel bearing is completely toast. That obviously would not account for the substantial change in ride height though.

    Tahoe PPV 2013 Burnout

    What attracted you to the PPV so much that you went to the effort to import one? Is importing a vehicle from the states difficult in Russia?

    Pros & cons of leveling my SSV (Z71)

    <If better handling is what you are looking for, get yourself a pair of Hellwig sway bars> Thanks, Joseph. I've read enough good things about them here to be sold on them but there are other items to be addressed before I start installing optional parts. At this point I'm just trying to...

    Pros & cons of leveling my SSV (Z71)

    "Gm really only put the rake for towing purposes" Thanks. I hadn't considered that. I was thinking it was for aero/fuel economy.

    Pros & cons of leveling my SSV (Z71)

    While it's likely this has been covered in the past, 15 minutes of searching didn't uncover what I'm after soooo... I have a 2007 SSV, so low spec 4x4 with Z71 suspension, but no ride height adjustability. I also have a '95 2 door Z71 Tahoe for more serious use, so this guy is street/mud use...
