    Newb Advice needed: Going to pick up auction PPV [Picked up!]

    You are really limited with the actual stock PPV tire size. The literal best thing you'll ever do to that PPV is forgot the original tires and any speed rating, and go for comfort. Definitely shop for 70 series, don't worry as much about the width.

    PPV??? SSV??

    This 6L80 and 5.3 (DoD deleted but hardware still inside) has 276k miles. :) And welcome, neighbor. I work in Orange County, live in Mebane....

    Just got a tahoe ppv. What do you recommend for shock absorbers?

    Your ride will get better with a taller profile and better tire. Also ditch the speed rating, get a mileage/driver tire. The front springs and struts are the same as every other Tahoe, there is zero difference......so if you have a ton of miles, look at updating the suspension. All of these will...

    North Carolina SHP S650 Mustang

    I am sure this has been discussed here or there before, and yes I know SHP in Florida seized and is using a C8 Corvette. But nonetheless, NCSHP has S650s and they look damn good. I met up with this Trooper who I work with in my county for some pics of his new 650 this morning after the morning...

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    Had to go back to the start of this thread to remember actually, it'll be 8 years pretty much around this time. Might be the longest I've owned any vehicle.....

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    Just dropping in a pic, I've still got the ol girl. It's around 275k now, no longer a daily driver but instead a garage queen next to the Z06.

    2014 Tahoe ppv. Need help trying to install a viper alarm/remote start

    Those relays/wires aren't going to be familiar to anyone, unfortunately. I imagine the output wires for each relay will no longer be physically connected to anything on the other end of the wire. But you can test for switched/adequate voltage, and use them for something else down the road if you...

    Reliable Gas Engine Years?

    I agree its really hit or miss, but both by maintenance and also how hard you are on them. My PPV was North Carolina State Highway Patrol vehicle. When I purchased it, it came from auction freshly stripped of all equipment and vinyl, with 179k miles. It came with a complete service history...

    Power inlets and round metal disc on rear of SSV

    The power outlet is most likely from a shoreline (power) that gets hooked up when the truck was sitting in a bay. If it is an actual shoreline, it would eject itself when the ignition cycles by the key.

    Purchased my first 2011 PPV

    Looks good, and its off to a good start to make it the way you want it. Even the dash looks like its in one piece!

    I bought another PPV

    I like the later PPV wheels, they look good on there!

    This is my Tahoe PPV.

    Not going to kick your projection/goal since everyone else beat you up. :) Nice PPV though, looks clean! Nothing like a clean black vehicle. How is the interior?

    Radio install options

    BTW, I logged all of that into my build thread. This link will take you to my head unit install, I also eventually added a sub amp and a single 10", the Alpine amp that mounts behind this head unit, all new door speakers, and Motorola MA1 wireless AndroidAuto adapter. Its all in the thread if...

    Radio install options

    Here is the kit I used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GP51ZF2?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 If that doesn't work, search Amazon for UPC 712691534220 Comes with everything you need. If you remove the factory radio, you aren't going to have door chimes or any of that jazz, part of the...

    Bought my first PPV Tahoe

    Even though you mentioned you tried those "new" parts, I've too many times had a bad coil or other electronic parts out of the box. I'd swap an injector from another cylinder, clear the codes and drive it. If it says on #4, swap the coil from another known good. At least you know those...

    New 2014 K-9 PPV Tahoe Build

    I'll have to look on the next beer run, but I think I have passed 280k now. I have the complete records of my Tahoe, down to every turn signal bulb. Original 5.3 and 6L80, I still have all the AFM parts but its been turned off in the computer for maybe 2ish years now? I'd say keep driving it! Do...

    Lurking no longer, now a PPV owner

    Well done intro thread with pics included. We expect DIC pics when that mod is done. :) Very clean looking Tahoe, congrats on the find! Your initial desires to change/improve were about the same as mine were. I really preferred the OEM center console, so I waited patiently until one popped up...

    Need to get some of the PPV adhesives off a new to us PPV

    All the above mentioned, then I'd definitely cut it with an orbital and some good compound. I had to do the same where the sun baked the finish from 10+ years of service, it was like brand new under the decals.
