    Bolt on trailer hitch receiver?

    My PPV has a bolt on trailer hitch receiver. It's something I've never seen before (picture attached). It's fastened on by 4 grade 8 bolts that go all the way through the reinforcement bar. Of course there is no brand or anything visible, but it does look professionally made. I need to tow a...

    Get rid of smells

    Today I did something in my Tahoe I realize a lot of people may not know about... I got rid of an odor. For those of us that drive PPV/SSV Tahoes, old puke or wet dog is almost impossible to get rid of. Typically we cover up the smell the best we can, but I'm about to drop a knowledge bomb on...

    Losing Heat?

    My 2012 is having a problem. It'll get to operating temp from cold, but little to no heat. Once I drive, I'll start getting some heat, but the temp comes way down, and then I largely lose heat (lukewarm). After reading your thread, I replaced the thermostat (which was fully closed when I pulled...

    Traction control/stabilitrak message

    2012 PPV, stock tire size is 265/60/17. Today I put on a set of winter tires, 245/65/17. They fit without issue. When I took the Tahoe around the block, I got the message mentioned in the title. According to tiresize.com, the winter tires are the same overall diameter. Three of the tires are...

    16" rims on a PPV?

    Does anyone know if 16" rims will fit on the PPV? I have a line on an inexpensive set of winter wheels/tires, but I'm concerned that they won't clear the brakes. Has anyone done this? Sent from my Galaxy Note9 using Tapatalk

    Hole in rubber flooring

    Has anyone had a wear hole in their rubber flooring? This was a Texas vehicle so no biggy, but it's now in Michigan, and will be subject to salty water entering on my boots this winter. I'm not too interested in having a Freddie Flintstone floor. Any thoughts on repairing this short of...

    2007-2010 Door Panel in a 2012?

    Hello everyone, I have a 2012 PPV Tahoe I just bought, and it has a broken handle (as in the grab handle to pull the door shut). On eBay I see tons of door panels marked for 2007-2010, but none (or maybe one in the wrong color) for 2012+. Is there a difference? It looks the same, but I don't...

    Service Stability Message

    Hello everyone, Since I have owned my 2003 Yukon (about a year), the Service Stability message comes on the dash. No other lights or messages, and driveability seems unaffected. My car has brand new front hubs (so new front ABS sensors), new rear sensors, new steering wheel position sensor...

    2003 Yukon Headlight Assembly Issues

    So I have now tried three different types/brands of aftermarket headlight assemblies in my Yukon, and all seem to have the exact same issue... They are not straight. What I mean by that is the entire assembly is crooked (on both sides, but the dirver side seems worse). The pins slide down fine...

    AWD Debris on Front Differential Magnetic Plug

    Hello, Yesterday I changed my '03 Yukon's AWD front differential fluid. The magnetic plug made me a bit nervous. I bought the truck with 150,000 and no service history. It now has 160,000... I would say it is possible it has never been changed, but who knows. Anyhow, on to the plug. I took...

    My '03 Yukon Build Thread

    Hello community! New to this forum, but not to wrenching and not to Chevy trucks (used to have a '98 Tahoe). Anyhow, I was in the market for an SUV, and found this one Craigslist on May 9th. 2003 Yukon 5.3 FFV SLT AWD with 151k miles on it. It drove like the SS Minnow on its three hour tour...
