    SSV= Super Sexy Vehicle

    Ran my 2011 through the car wash and put on the window flag for today. As I was leaving a parking lot, a blond in another SUV pulling in smiles at me and gave me a thumbs up. Yeah, the Tahoe's still got it. Hard to see in the pics but there a ham antenna on the fender and a stubby GMRS on...

    Engine Hot/AC Turned Off message

    I was driving along on our first cold snap, 21 degrees out. I have the Cold Case aluminum radiator in so it takes longer to get up to operating temp and always runs a bit cooler on the guage. So then I get this message in the DIC. Interesting. Then the both fans start screaming and won't...

    2011 SSV starter replacement.

    195k on my SSV. Starter has been slow to crank for the last couple of months. Finally I go to start it and I get the "thunk" and total loss of power. Mind you there's two batteries in this thing. So I figure it's time for a starter due to mileage alone. I should have had it done when I...

    2011 Tahoe SSV Rims

    These rims came off my 2011 SSV. I went with stock rims shortly after I acquired the vehicle. Now these are taking up space in my garage. No tires, just the rims and center caps. All are in very good condition. Would prefer to sell locally but if you want shipping it's all on you. Asking...

    DIC switch

    IMG_20190422_122357 by iLikeEggs posted Apr 22, 2019 at 12:36 PM This has been done before but it's worth a revisit. As you all know, the PPV/SSV's do not come equipped with the Driver Information Console (DIC switch) at the drivers end of the center vent trim. However, the pig tail connector...

    2011 Seat upgrade question

    Has anybody run into this? My cloth power power front seats have seen better days so I picked up a pair of leather fronts. They came with a couple of extra features that mine didn't have so the wiring harness connectors are a bit different. My original seat just had the basic flat 5 pin...

    Cargo area box- All gone. Thx all.

    I have an ad in the classified section but if anyone is interested, I have several BNIB cargo area boxes. These came from a local sheriff's dept but were never used. Can be seen at suvcargocaddydotcom. It's the Full Size one. $275+ shipping. If you have third row seats, it fits perfectly when...

    Finally a use for that rectangular space below the temp controls

    I finally figured out a use for that worthless opening at the bottom of the temp control panel. I was looking for a creative way to mount a couple of my radios without having to go back to the police center console and give up my jump seat. While rooting around one of my boxes of spare parts I...

    windshield wipers!

    Home depot has an excellent deal on wipers. $6.87 for the Michelin 22" replacement arms. Great wiper, great price. While I was there today getting a couple of replacements (about 10 months old) I noticed that they also had a small separate aisle display with Dupont 22" replacement arms for $3.88...

    Go Industries Quad Bumper

    Ok, finally had some free time, so I got the thing mounted. The brackets that cam with it were weak so i used the Setina mounts from the cop push bumper that came on the thing. It took some drilling but that's half the fun. Now I just have to get used to the look.

    Cleaning Mass Air Flow Sensor

    Easy enough job. Takes all of four minutes. Remove from air intake, disconnect, hose down with MAF spray cleaner from your favorite auto parts store, reinstall, enjoy smugness of a job well done. Almost as complicated as filling the tires with air. This was on my 2011 SSV. Your mileage may...

    Rear window release button

    OK, throwing this out there.... My 98 Blazer had a rear hatch glass release button on the dash. Hit the button and the back window pops open. I swear to my old combat boots that it was my favorite feature on the vehicle. I know that my SSV is heartily stripped down and devoid of many creature...

    Escalade bumper question

    Forgive me if this has been posted already but what are those rivet looking things along the bottom edge of the Escalade rear bumpers? They kind of make the bumper look unfinished. Perhaps they are nozzles for the laser beams, smoke screens and oil slicks? How cool would that be? Just saying...

    New bumper arrived today!!!

    Yeah, I'm a somebody! Mr. UPS just dropped off the new push bumper for my SSV. I will bolt it on later this week but I couldn't help myself and wanted to see how it's going to look. $273 shipped from Bumpersuperstore. Obviously, more pics to come... Go Industries 32738 Quad Guard Push Bumper...

    Rear Wiper Arm, or, dont be like me...

    OK so i think somehow that with all of this Oregon rain it might be a snazzy idea to replace the rear wiper. You know, because I'm always thinking. So i'm in Sears checking out the price of Michelin's and saw that they had a 12 inch blade. Sweet. Get it home and it fits but only half of the...

    who calls it a rig and why? why?

    Survey says... do you refer to your massive, glorius SUV as a truck, SUV or.... rig? (Yes, my SUV is massive and glorius). If rig, why? Sonny Pruitt drove a "rig". The M-88 recovery vehicle (armored Cav Hoo-Rah) was a "rig", a hook and ladder unit is a "rig", etc. Call me ignant' but what's up...

    Lol. Pine needles everywhere, firewood for the taking. Obviously, I don't park my truck in the garage. Tahoe! IMG_20151010_174208 by iLikeEggs posted Oct 16, 2015 at 1:52 PMIMG_20151010_174237 by iLikeEggs posted Oct 16, 2015 at 1:52 PM

    2011 Tahoe SSV installed jump seat console

    When I got my SSV from the auction it was pretty stripped down inside. The most noticeable things were the large empty space between the two front seats and the rubber floor. While I liked both of these things, not having an arm rest was getting on my nerves so i started looking for consoles...
