    2011 Tahoe OEM or Aftermarket Window Regulator with or without Motor?

    I replaced the regulator with a motor for the driver's side rear on my wife's 2011 with parts from 1AAuto.com two years ago. It does just fine, no issues, rolls up just as fast and strong as an OEM one does.

    What NOT to do When Doing Brakes... DOH!!!

    So, I was doing rotors and pads on all four corners of my 2013 PPV yesterday. Got the front done and started working on the rear. I had everything disassembled and the rear rotors off, calipers hanging. I started to think about the growl I am getting from my rear end while driving (think its...

    Dod/afm issues

    I can 100% confirm that a PPV can absolutely be tuned with HP Tuners. I have my 2013 PPV tuned to disable AFM, timing bumped a little, transmission tuned, etc. My tuner disabled the AFM and did similar tuning to several local police and sheriff's department Tahoe fleets in our area.

    07-14 Lowered 2WD Z71 Tahoe ????

    My wife's 2011 Z71 is 2WD. I see far more of them than I do 4WD Z71 GMT900 Tahoes in my area.

    Traction control and emergency brake lights both came on while driving on highway.

    Had an issue with Stabilitrak light, brake light, and ABS light coming on in my wife's 2011 a month or so ago. Ran a scan and turns out it was due to low brake fluid, right at the minimum line.

    Behavior after DOD swap and cam upgrade

    I completely understand where you're coming from. My post was just from personal experiences that I am still salty about. Not with BlackBear, but with a very well known Ford tuning company when I did some performance upgrades to a Mustang I had. Everyone swore by this company and their tunes...

    Behavior after DOD swap and cam upgrade

    I'll probably get flamed for this since everyone here is diehard BlackBear but, don't count on a mailed tune. Sure, it's a great baseline but, find a local GM tuner and get it on a dyno to perfect the tuning. There is no replacement for a tuning expert watching live data and adjusting YOUR...

    Oh brother, shop rates.

    Damn! My daughter's grandfather (ex's dad) was quoted almost $300 to swap out a belt tensioner and an idler pulley on his 2013 Silverado. I told him I'd do it for a case of Yuengling. I had the job done in 15 minutes. Perfect example of how it behooves us to learn how to fix our own ****.

    Gas Tank Gassy

    Make sure the line going to the purge thing up front is clear. I ran compressed air thru mine and it still had a TON of charcoal pellets in it.

    There's an SSV in my future - the search is on

    That you, George? Welcome! A lot of great info here. -Joel What are prices looking like in Cali? I bought my 2013 PPV (retired Springdale, Arkansas vehicle) with 125k miles on it for $9k. It is super clean. There are a few dealers in the southeast that regularly stock police vehicles at...

    2009 Yukon Replacement Headlight Housings

    I just put some from American Trucks on my wife's Tahoe. I bought from them years ago for new headlamp housings for my F-150 and they held up great. They were Depo brand, if I remember correctly. The ones I bought for my wife aren't the same brand so, not sure if they'll hold up as well...

    Avoid GM Parts Giant if at all Possible

    I wish I remembered this thread. I ordered a new fuel tank through GMPD for my wife's 2011 Z71. It's supposed to come tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    Knock when cold

    My 2013 5.3 LMG slaps like a pimp on a cold start up. It's funny though because when it's REALLY cold, it doesn't do it. Seems like when the ambient temp is 45-50+ overnight and I start up in the morning it'll slap until a little heat gets into the motor. Usually only takes 5-10 seconds at...

    2010 Tahoe High Beam question - SOLVED

    My PPV brights don't work in the "flash" function when you pull back on the stalk. They do work when I push the stalk forward to turn the high beams on. Is that what you're experiencing, OP?

    This is my Tahoe PPV.

    Nice looking PPV!

    $18K Repair on 2010 Burb? Yup, it made sense.

    $18k is cheaper than a new Burb or Hoe! LOL

    Lurking no longer, now a PPV owner

    Nice looking truck! Another silver 2013 PPV owner here. Mine was a Springdale, Arkansas patrol rig. Also have a 2011 Tahoe Z71 that is my wife's daily.

    Anyone with a silver Tahoe ?

    So you're going to commit a crime to get out of a fix-it ticket. Smooth thinking!

    Maybe help clear up several questions about PPV;s

    I have a 2013 PPV that I had tuned recently and it's pretty quick for a 5k pound elephant. The speed limiter was set to 99 when my tuner looked at everything. He removed that and did some other stuff like bump the timing a little, firmed up the transmission, disabled AFM, etc. It's a hell of...

    That's awesome! My aunt lived in Wells and was the superintendent of schools there until the early 90's. We have a lake cottage up halfway between Augusta and Belfast.

    Nah, it's intermittent although it seems like it happens more when turning. I am going to address it when I get home. Out of the CONUS until Friday. It'll go several days without happening and then it will do it two or three times in a 10 mile round trip. It's very odd.
