    PPV motor mounts... use h3 or oem?

    Hey all, Sometimes when accelerating up an incline I will hear a clunk before the power is delivered to the ground. I'm pretty sure it is my motor mounts. After doing a brief search it seems like many people are using the hummer h3 mounts which are oslid instead of the OEM ACdelco hydraulic...

    Avoid 2015 Models?

    Hey all, I currently have a 2011 PPV tahoe and I'm tossing around the idea of making the upgrade to a 2015 tahoe. Took a short glance over the few threads here and it seems like there are a lot of folks unhappy with the 2015. Are there any major issues with the drivetrain that need to be...

    Service Stabilitrak Error

    Hey all, Today while I was turning into the parking lot at work, I heard 3 dings and I saw the E-brake light as well as the Traction Control light illuminate. No check engine lights or anything.

    Resetting TPMS by disconnecting battery?

    Hey all, Its about that time of year where the temps drop, and everyone has TPMS questions :P When this has happened in the past, I just filled the tires up to the correct PSI and the TPMS light will go away shortly. However, this year the light has not gone away. I've also tried to relearn...

    Trans drain & filter change intervals

    Hey guys How often are you guys dropping the pan and changing the filter? Is there any circumstance where you would avoid doing this? (too many miles without change?) Or is it always a good idea to service these even if the last change is unknown? I don't want to cause any issues by stirring...

    PPV wheel bearing question...

    hello fellow PPV'ers, I recently noticed my passenger front wheel bearing had some play in it, so I ordered a hub/bearing assembly from Timken SP450303. Since PPV's are 2wd there is no axle shaft that runs through the front so the hub assembly from Timken itself is sealed. However, on the...

    Easiest way to drop trans pan?

    Hey guys, Finally getting around to the trans filter replacement. From what it looks like, the exhaust is tucked up real close to the pan. Is dropping the exhaust the only way to do this job (according to the service manual)? I read somewhere about jacking up the trans and loosening the trans...

    Hey guys, Recently I've been experiencing a weird starting problem in my 2011 Tahoe. When turning the vehicle over it cranks like there is no problems, but the second before the engine fires, there is a short hesitation/pause and then it starts right up. Initially I thought the battery may...

    Changing trans cooler & oil cooler line, need to drain system?

    Hello tahoeyukonforum! Quick question before I replace the trans cooler lines (passenger side) and the oil cooler lines (drivers side). Do I need to drain the trans & oil completely before doing this? I assume it will be leaking from the attachment points on the engine block side right? Is...

    Hey guys! Popped the hood today and noticed a few lines seeping. I just want to double check with you PPV vets before I go ahead and order parts. Correct me if I'm wrong... but the lines going into the radiator on the drivers side is for the oil cooler, and the lines going into the radiator...

    Hello PPV'ers, I'm looking to replace the suspension struts and shocks this winter on my 2011. Hoping to find the source of this weird vibration I'm getting, and I'm thinking the shocks / struts may be a part of it. (Already replaced the u-joints in the driveshaft, rebalanced tires, trans...

    Hey guys, Looking to just do a drain and refill on my 2011 PPV soon, as well as replacing the rear diff fluid / trans mount. I have a few quick questions: 1. I think my trans came with schaeffers ATF (what the previous dept maintained it with), should I stick with the same fluid or switch to...

    do PPVs have TPMS?

    Howdy PPV guys! Do our vehicles have TPMS systems? I was under the impression that it was disabled... because when toggling through the cluster I do not see anything that shows the tire pressures. However today while driving, I looked down on my dash and the TPMS light was on!? It says "LEFT...

    Driveshaft Rebuild?

    Hey guys, Has anyone done this on the PPV's? Im assuming its no different than the other models of tahoes in this year range. I cant seem to find any threads on this anywhere on the internet. Any reason why? Seems like the U-joints are readily available. Thanks.
