    Rigid Cargo Shade Topper?

    Has anybody ever fashioned a rigid top for their cargo shade? I end up working out of the back of my Tahoe sometimes and end up using the cargo shade as a place to set lightweight items. I've considered trying to make a top I can lay over top of it (rested on the roller and the bar that hooks...

    PPV with Non-PPV Wheels

    I had a thread on this a while back. I have a '15 PPV that my dealer reprogrammed for the factory 20" wheels. I bought an '18 in January and they were unable up do it for the '18. I bought a speedometer calibrator and it did the trick.

    Just got my 2018 PPV 9C1 Tahoe Callaway

    So not going to an LE agency as Motorweek claimed. That's a little lame. Neat truck all the same.

    LED Daytime running lights?

    No, the entire line has them. It has nothing to do with the LTZ "not being available" (it's replaced with the premier).

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    Nope. Not yet anyway. I imagine that like the IO5 radio, color DIC, LED DRL, and other previously non-PPV or even LTZ/Premier only features, it will filter down eventually. Dodge has had push start in the police Charger for a long time.

    Would like to add jump seat to 2nd row captains chairs

    I think it would be a tough sell as an aftermarket accessory for purely liability reasons.

    Dealer Unable to Change Tire Size Programming on 2018 PPV

    I ended up ordering a Hypertech speedometer calibrator. The VIN was not supported, but when I plugged it into my laptop it said it would send details to Hypertech and email me when that was fixed. It took about two hours and the software was updated. Works great. Speedometer is now correct.

    Dealer Unable to Change Tire Size Programming on 2018 PPV

    That does not necessarily surprise me and mine was not sold as a true "retail" purchase. Do you know if there was a date or MY when GM instituted this policy, or do I need to just be firmer in trying to get it done? With the 2015 it was about a four hour appointment after they failed to get it...

    Dealer Unable to Change Tire Size Programming on 2018 PPV

    I recently took delivery of a brand new 2018 PPV. I had a set of takeoff 20" wheels and LX20 tires installed by a wheel shop. I took the Tahoe to my dealer to have the computer reprogrammed for the new tire size. I did the same thing on my 2015 PPV and the dealer was able to do it without issue...

    RST Grill Part #?

    That's actually surprisingly reasonable. They're going to sell a lot of them.

    Any non-buffeting Tahoes out there?

    2015 Tahoe LS with 4" screen upgrade to 8" and IO 5 or better

    You have IO3. For nav you need at least IO6. An up to date IO5 would include Android Auto and Apple Carplay, which would also let you navigate within that app. Your best bet will be contacting MVI or another vendor that sells conversions for IO3 equipped vehicles. Expect to be north of a grand...

    Onstar

    I thought the trial ended up including remote start in the app for a couple years even if one did not renew.

    Missing features

    I wish you could configure the storage pocket behind the radio screen to not open when the ignition is off. I'm aware of valet mode, but turning that on and off isn't very practical. I can't see the need to open it with the ignition off being very likely, but on the other hand, having it...

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    My 2018 arrived today. Snowy out here so not the best weather for taking pictures. Here is what I've noticed: The IO5 radio is such a tremendous upgrade over the IO3. Android Auto is also a great addition. I am very impressed. The controls (volume, cruise control, etc) are much more responsive...

    08 Yukon Hybrid...SSV or just a regular Yukon?

    Look at the option codes on the glove box label. 5W4 is the SSV Tahoe code. Not to say this Yukon wouldn't be different. There is no factory SSV Yukon that I am aware of, but a large buyer like NYPD doesn't necessarily have to order from the book. I'd like to see some pics.

    New Tahoe owner. 18 Chevy Tahoe custom

    The seats have been installed in PPVs successfully. The holes for the bolts are present and only need to have the seats, bolts, and seatbelts sourced. Take-out seats are available on eBay for around $500 shipped and there is a thread in the PPV section detailing the costs of the seatbelts and...

    Removing the underside plastic of the second row seats?

    Has anybody tried to remove the plastic shrouding on the underside of the second row of seats in their 2015+ Tahoe or Burb? I always intended to get around to trying it on my 2015, but never did. I have a 2018 coming hopefully in the next week and am considering taking a run at it again. The...

    What cold weather milage are you seeing out there?

    Seeing about 16 MPG in a highway heavy mix right now. Lots of remote starting going on and more 4WD than usual. My running average is about 18.5 MPG over 60k miles.

    Any non-buffeting Tahoes out there?

    This has come up a lot. I've had no problem with mine. I'm not sure if there is an "answer" from GM.

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    I'll send a PM about my rig. As far as why mine (and probably Rusty's) have taken so long to get, it's because I ordered one built how I wanted it. I would guess most of what he has on the lot are white and black exterior, vinyl rear seats, rubber floors, etc. I wanted a less common color...

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    My understanding is that this is a Chevy corporate program, but I had no luck with in state dealers. The one most local to me told me last time that I needed a letter from my agency head stating the vehicel was for official use (which was never going to happen) and did not reply to my emails on...

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    If you are a law enforcement officer, fire fighter, or emt, take a look at this eBay motors listing and contact the salesman listed in the description: https://m.ebay.com/itm/2017-Chevrolet-Tahoe-PPV-Sport-Utility-4-Door/253320725831 If you are not, I'm not sure of an easy way to do it. My...

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    My 2015 came with a tank of E85 and was garbage on that fuel. What are you putting in it? My lifetime average on the 2015 with 75/25 highway/city is in the 18 range mostly on E10/E15 87 octane. Did you have the BCM reprogrammed for the wheels? If not, you're likely seeing a big difference, and...

    Anyone ordering an 2018 PPV

    My '15 is tungsten metallic. Great color. What is the material on the edges of the seats? It looks shiny and maybe a little cheap.
