    T1XX rear bumper protector on a K2XX? Tahoe?

    Since we're now on GMC's advertising mailing list for purchasing our '25 Sierra, I got a recent accessories flyer in the mail. In it was mention of the rear bumper protector, P/N 84729768. I've been looking for something like that for our '18 PPV, since we do use it to do stuff like bring...

    NIB 2002 Sierra 2500HD 'Winterfront' front end cover - $100

    We sold our '02 GMC 2500HD recently, and I've been finding things we had for it that didn't go to the new owner. Since we live in southeast Texas, I'm certain he'll have zero need for the 'Winterfront' front cover I discovered in a closet in the house. It's brand freaking new, still in the...

    What's in a factory AT4 lift?

    We just took delivery of a '25 Sierra 1500 AT4. While I'm working on trying to find a forum similar to this one for the pickups, I figured I'd ask here. Does anyone know what parts are different between the AT4 lift and a 'regular' 4X4 suspension w/o mag ride? I know there's a 2" lift block...

    GM now offering the Factory Service Manual as a subscription?!?

    I've been considering getting a 2024/25 Sierra 1500 to replace our '02 2500HD, since it's getting old, and I'm thinking it'll be the last vehicle I probably buy and I'd like something with a warranty. Anyway, since I usually have factory service manuals (FSM) for every vehicle I own, I went...

    Tips/tricks for separating lower ball joint 2018 Tahoe PPV?

    We're mostly done loosening/removing everything on the front of our '18 PPV to install the Beltech 2" drop kit. We are struggling with separating the lower ball joint from the spindle, though. We've tried wailing on it with a BFH, slipping something between the LCA and spindle and jacking it...

    P06DD DTC - 2018 Tahoe PPV

    Driving my co-driver's Tahoe to the local recycle station today and discovered the CEL on. I checked the gauges and saw everything in normal range. I maintained a heightened sense of awareness on the trip to the station and back to the house, and sensed no issues. Got home, and ran a scan on...

    TPMS question/request

    We had a TPMS sensor die on us a while back. Like an idiot, I just replaced the one dead one when we had new tires installed on the PPV (It was due for new shoes). Sure enough, a month later, ANOTHER sensor has gone AWOL!! While I hope it's not the new one that's quit, I have no way of...

    Wheel hub cap spacer build

    Well, as usual, I posted this in the wrong dam section. Here it is reposted in what I hope is the right one.... When we took our '18 Tahoe in for new tires, I removed the hub caps myself for safe keeping while the tire monkeys did their thing. When we got back, and I was checking the wheel nut...

    2018 oil cooler assembly replacement?

    Saw a couple of oil spots under the front of our '18 PPV. I climbed under the hood to discover that one of the oil cooler lines where the rubber hose is swedged to the aluminum tubing is leaking. I have a new line assembly enroute, and haven't had a look in the FSM yet, but wanted to see if...

    Lights on hatch area

    I noticed that the center mount brake light (CMBL) doesn't come on when the brake pedal is pressed. While checking things out, I also discovered that the license plate lights don't work. I can only imagine that they just ripped wires out when they pulled the strobes out of the hatch window...

    Reconnecting key fob to 2018 PPV

    Our PPV came with one very ratty-looking key fob that did not work. I'm trying to figure out how to re-pair the fob to the truck. I've found a couple of yutubes that show how to pair a new fob with the start button, but our PPV has NO start button. I did find this online step-by-step, but it...

    2/3 drop kit on a 2018 PPV?

    We have the Belltech 2/3 drop kit on our 2010 PPV, and it's served us well. I remember when I installed it, using the factory wheels, I had to cut ~1/2" off the lower ball joint studs and use a shortened nut so things would fit with the drop spindle. The daily driver for the new to us 2018...

    Just parked the 2018 PPV in the garage

    Our new to us 2018 Tahoe was finally rolled off the transporter this afternoon. Not too bad a shape. Have a couple of things to fix, as usual, but overall, it's nice. It was an East Texas County Sheriff's vehicle. Let the mods begin! First up is the key fob. It looks like they used it to...

    2010 Tahoe PPV cylinder misfire

    Yes, another misfire thread. The CFO came home today saying she noted her truck running rough at idle. Ran okay, otherwise. I went out and checked, and sure enough, at idle it seems to have a miss. Got the OBDII analyzer out and connected it up and 'cylinder 7 misfire'. I forget the code...

    2010 PPV rear shock install fun

    While we were off over the holidays, we decided to do the rear shocks on the Tahoe. It now has ~130K miles on the clock, and when I had it in getting an alignment, the mechanic mentioned that the shocks were toast. I didn't think so, but since it was, at the time almost 10 years old, purchased...

    Dome lights not coming on when door is open

    We've recently completed some work on our '10 PPV. The last thing done was to replaced the cracked windshield. We had that done by a glass guy. He did very good work, and is very competent. I don't think he messed anything up when replacing the windshield, but I'm not 100% certain. We also...

    Tahoe PPV key fob not working

    Odd thing happened to us in the '10 Tahoe PPV yesterday. One of our pups got ahold of one of the keys/key fobs, and chewed the plastic on the fob up some. The fob buttons still worked, but somehow my wife broke off part of it at work. I set it on the counter to epoxy back together after we...

    Help IDing a wiper blade

    The wiper blades on the '10 PPV pretty much exploded (all of a sudden split in several places), so I figured that since I've had great luck with OEM, I ordered a set. Those came in yesterday, and I immediately noticed a difference. After pulling the old ones off, I noticed that the whole...

    2010 PPV with NorcalSS 2/3 drop - negative camber issue?

    So after doing the 2/3" drop on the Tahoe, I noticed that we had a bit of negative camber. I didn't get a good measurement of it, but probably 1/2-3/4 deg.. just enough to be noticeable. After about 50K of driving like this, we're replacing the tires. The fronts were corded on the inner tread...

    Installing Beltech 2/3 kit,many extra bits needed?

    That should be _any_ extra bits needed!! Stupid autocorrect crap! Anyway, I have the Beltech 2/3 drop kit and Eibach sway bars to install on our '10 Tahoe PPV. We're planning on doing the install this weekend. I'd like to do this all in one sitting, if possible. Are there any extra parts...

    Aftermarket stock-looking lug nuts that aren't the cheap chrome cover?

    As you should know, the 'chrome' lug nuts on the Tahoes are just a shiny stamped steel cover that is molded over a steel lug nut. After the gorillas at the department shop, or tire stores get done with beating them up with their impact wrenches, those covers come loose. Eventually, you end up...

    2010 Tahoe right side headlamp NLA?

    So we were out washing the Tahoe yesterday afternoon, and my wife commented that it will need a new headlamp cover soon. I noted that it's part of the assembly, but yeah, I probably need to grab a pair while they are still available. Well, this morning I had a look, and while it shows the...

    poor mileage, but no other problems on '10 PPV

    Our 2010 PPV seems to be running fine, but the mileage has recently just tanked. It used to run at about 16-17 in combined driving, and when I drove it on the weekends, I could frequently back it into the garage with a 18+MPG average. I'm easier on the loud pedal than she is. :) But...

    NNBS horn pad/air bag cover

    The horn pad/air bag cover on our '10 PPV is pretty scratched up, and I'd like to replace it. It looks like the PO sat with his hand on the top of the horn pad, and scratched at the bow tie with his thumbnail(s). I haven't looked at it in detail, but I'm sure the cover can come off of the...

    wheel radio controls in a PPV?

    I'm looking at picking up the wheel that 07Burb has listed, and was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the radio control buttons would be a plug-and-play option on a '10 PPV? I failed to look when I was installing the spoke covers, and really don't remember. A cursor search didn't reveal...
