    PPV front shocks seized up?

    I've had my 13 PPV for 2 1/2 years now, and have always heard how stiff the suspension was so I just dealt with it. Truck has 80 kmi and looks like it was rode hard with some of the bent shields etc. underneath, and driving it was painful on most roads. The truck would kind of shudder and jumpy...

    I Autocrossed my PPV!

    I finally got a chance to autocross my 13 PPV yesterday. I've autocrossed many different vehicles, but not a truck. I wasn't even sure if they would let me compete with it, but I convinced tech it would be fine, and I promised not to roll it. I've been wanting to see what this thing could do...

    Got new Goodyear cop tires and new wheels!

    After looking at all of the other size options that were going to be expensive too, I decided to use the 265/60-17 Goodyear tires that are designed specific for the Tahoe PPV. $1250 for 4 tires is outrageous though, and figured might as well spend another $600 for new wheels too. Then I can...

    Daytime Running Light changed at the dealer for $50

    Although that is crazy to change a stupid bulb, it's 5 degrees outside, and I have no room to get it inside. Checked one dealer that wanted $100, called the next closest, and they said $50 including the bulb. What a stupid design to change any of the front bulbs. I miss my 02 just having to pull...

    Isn't the Goodyear tire the best option for a PPV?

    After going over and over all of the different tire sizes, and wheel option up to 20 inch, I've decided I'm going to go with a new set of 265/60-17 Goodyear PPV tires. I'm currently on 255/65-17 Michelin X ice tires looking for summer replacements. I have all the equipment to change tires...

    Installed a New Driver Info Center Next Day. LOVE IT

    Thanks to all of the previous DIC posters. Hoping the posted info was correct, I ordered the switch, and panel from my local Chevy dealer yesterday afternoon, and got a call at 8:15 this morning it was in. Just installed it a few minutes ago, and it took less than 10 minutes, and works GREAT...

    Getting my AFM tuned out for $150

    On Monday I'm taking my 13 PPV to a local shop that can tune out my annoying AFM, adjust my speedo to a 1/2 inch taller tire, and adjust my shift points for $150. Is there anything to be concerned about, or what else should I have tweaked?

    Dash Cam recomendations?

    I'm interested in installing a dash cam, and don't know what's the best for the money. I don't want to spend a lot, but don't want to cheap out either, and easy to install/use with good images is important with an adhesive mount instead of a suction cup. Thanks

    Stabilitrak disable function?

    Not that I would normally drive with it off, but I would like to turn it off once in awhile to test, and see what the truck wants to do when on slippery roads, or just drifting sometimes in the snow for fun. It's a 13 PPV and I know it can't be shut off completely, but thought it could be...

    When transmission in manual mode is AFM bypassed?

    My 13 PPV seems to run a little rough in V-4 mode driving around town, but if I run the trans in M4, or M5 it seems to smooth out, and wondering if it bypasses AFM? I plan to have it checked out since I still have powertrain warranty until April. Service writer said they can miss fire in V-4...

    Had my Unity Spotlight factory rebuilt!

    I got my PPV with an A pillar hole, and most of a spotlight. I soon learned I was missing too many pieces of the puzzle, and a trashed light housing. Contacted the excellent customer service of Unity, and they were able to rebuild it for a fraction of the cost of all new. Now I just have to...

    Is there a better manual shift button set-up?

    I do not like the tiny manual shift button on the 6 speed trans, mounted on the shifter arm, and wondered if there was any ideas? I liked the detent shifter better on my 08 4 speed.

    Would a Silverado front bench seat fit a Tahoe?

    I really liked the front seat in my 08 Silverado that had a fold down armrest, and could seat 3 It was 2 bucket seats like my Tahoe, but with like a jump seat in the middle. Wondering if the full truck seat would fit easily? It would be pretty neat to have an actual 6 passenger vehicle like...

    Do you have a brake pedal chirp?

    After listening to my chirping brake pedal for months on my 08 Silverado, and now my recently purchase 13 PPV with the same issue, I new exactly what to do. It's a 5 minutes job to remove the 10mm head bolt, and spring clip from the pedal arm/master cylinder rod, and apply a dab of grease. It...

    New Member/New Owner

    I just brought home a 13 black Tahoe PPV with 73kmi a couple days ago. Paid $14k for it which seemed okay since I found it just a hour away. Private owner bought it out of Kansas a year ago. I didn't really want to make 2 600 mile round trips to Chicago to one of the dealers there, and have the...
