this is was a city SSV Non AFM (verified by vin)

Hi Brent and congrats on your new truck! It looks great. I've highlighted the above because it is not true. VIN 0, the 8th digit, denotes the LMG 5.3 Liter engine which is FlexFuel AND has AFM. All GMT900 5.3 have AFM, the LY5 (non Flex Fuel) and the LMG and LC9.

Now, someone might have disabled it in the tune or it might have been physically removed and the computer modified as well. Next time your driving around, go to your instant fuel economy "screen" and see if the motor switches back and forth between V4 and V8. If it's in V8 all the time, then it has been disabled or removed or you're hauling too much weight around.

It appears the seller may have been ignorant or dishonest but if you're happy with it, then that's what counts and this forum is here to help you make it your own.

To BG1988,

There 3 items in the pix are kind of non PPV options:

How about the DIC swtich too?

Truck's kinda interesting though. It has LT badging but cloth seats.

Just by looking at the pics, I would have to say in my opinion that you have a civilian model, not a PPV/SSV .The interior colors are a dead give away as also the roof rack, fog lights , center console and the wood trim. also a factory PPV has no trailer hitch.
Other than that it looks like a nice Tahoe.

It’s a 1LT trim which gets 8 way power cloth.

Don't let that deter you from getting one of these fine trucks. I felt the same way at first as many others here have. Your other options are to look for a 4.8 equipped Tahoe or Yukon which will not have AFM or one of the 2009 Tahoes with the L9H 6.2 which did not have it either.

Then you could always go to the 2500 Suburban or Yukon XL which don't have AFM either! Or a Denali or Escalade with the L92 and L9H from 2007 through 2009.

Or just factor deleting it into the price and have it done right away.

LT up here in Canada comes with leather and some other 'premium' options. Hence my surprise.
