Towing with a rental Tahoe
Not gonna lie, this is actually the thought that popped into my head. With all the hi-tec telemetry and the such the rental companies are using to communicate with the vehicles nowadays I’m surprised they don’t have a complete log of every sensor and readings such as the RPM’s and towing mode...- PPV_2018

OEM parts on Amazon?
Of course you have obviously counterfeit items, but then you have counterfeit items that look more legitimate than the actual legit product! The obvious counterfeits aren’t much of an issue to the trained eye, but nowadays some clones are virtually undetectable from aesthetics alone. They look...- PPV_2018

2019 Tahoe reliability
The brakes and rotors could fail at any time? If they haven’t ever been changed at a quarter million miles, then no sh*t. As previously mentioned in this thread, that’s a consumable part. As far as the transmissions, I’ll take my chances with the 6L80e over the 4L60e, or worse, the 700r4, any...- PPV_2018

New Update Fried My Entire Info & Sound System!!
Well I think the first course of action would be to take it back to the dealer and see what they say. At least then you know what you’re looking at. Regardless, obviously make clear that you don’t intend to pay for the diagnosis and repair and put pressure on them to fix it timely. Is the...- PPV_2018

GMC sierra 2002 5.3L 1500
THIS^^^^^. Always gap your plugs or at least verify they are the correct gap if they are “pre-gapped”. Also, don’t bother with the iridium. As others have said, Double Plats would be a good replacement for OEM. AC/Delco is GM brand. Rockauto says copper plug for GM original equipment ...- PPV_2018

DFM disabler released
With the Range unit plugged in/installed, if you put the vehicle to the “run” position and the CEL comes on, then I would say … that the CEL would still be working. At least I’m hoping there is no truth to what they are saying.- PPV_2018

Anyone with a silver Tahoe ?
Is the judge going to throw out the ticket if you removed it? If not, just say “no”, pay the fine, and keep trucking.- PPV_2018

Ran out of gas! 2008 LTZ
OK, a couple things just to add to this, 1.) As we might know, electric fuel pumps in the tank cell itself have pretty much been the standard for most vehicles for the past few decades. Electric fuel pumps need fuel to keep them cool, as in the pump itself needs to be submerged in fuel. In...- PPV_2018

Dimmed Backlit Dash and Radio/HVAC Lights
Do you have anything on your dashboard? I’ve found with other vehicles that an obstructed auto-headlights sensor by means of a dashboard cover or even dark tinted windshield can cause dashboard lights to do some weird things including dimming all the cluster and control lights in the daytime... -
2018 PPV joining
Key!! Thankfully. Not saying push button is a deal breaker but.. it’s kind of a deal breaker. I specifically looked for a Tahoe with keys. I didn’t know PPV of this era had push button option.- PPV_2018

Dexos... High Mileage oil
Since we’re on the topic of engine oil, I have a stupid question(s), and instead of making a new topic perhaps we could discuss here. It used to be as long as it had the API label on the jug, it was good to go. Times change. Dexos is absolutely required on the newer engines? I’m partial to...- PPV_2018

Finally replaced my headlights
Hats off to you brother! Truck looks great! Believe it or not I feel like one of the single most aesthetics of a vehicle are the headlights. I feel like it’s impossible for a vehicle to look good with yellowed or hazy headlights. In most cases, when I buy a used vehicle, the first thing I do... -
Taking off pinstripes?
The truck is a 2021 ? My personal opinion is I don’t think the truck has seen enough time in the sun to cause UV fading/ discoloration with a modern triple stage paint job, and even if there was, it would probably be so faint it would not be noticeable. But, you’re concerned, the best bet is... -
Rear speaker connection options - again
You say the wires in the radio harness are the correct colors; have you confirmed that the wires or more specifically the pins that are supposed to be in the harness connectors are in tact and not broken or missing ? Do you know for sure the rear speakers work and they are not broken or blown...- PPV_2018

Planned Obsolescence: ain't making them like they used to ...
Yeah, it all went downhill with the advent of fuel injection. In all seriousness, vehicles in general are lasting a lot longer than the cars of yesteryear. The problem lies in the fact that the more technology that is integrated, the more difficult and expensive the repairs are. These... -

Hello. Been wanting a Tahoe PPV or SSV for many years now, finally found “the one” , a 2018 Tahoe PPV. Flew out, bought the truck, and drove it 1000 miles home. I’m just in love with it. I like doing my own maintenance and just messing around with my vehicles, so I look forward to using...- PPV_2018
