OK so after looking at all the RPO codes the vehicle is neither a PPV nor an SSV. It is a Gov ordered 4wd Fleet vehicle from what I am reading? Just trying to get a complete understanding of these codes and SSV's since mine is a SSV, a 5W4 and a Commercial vehicle.
So I am beginning to think it is indeed a Government ordered vehicle but without the SSV RPO it would not be a Special Service Vehicle and it does not have the 5W4 RPO either which would also show it to be a SSV. I think it is simply a 4wd ordered by a government agency? Maybe some of the...
So if they say it is a PPV then where is the RPO code for PPV? This gets more confusing by the post? How can any of this be without the correct RPO codes to back it up????? In 2012 it can NOT be a 4wd and be a PPV! NOT possible! They did not offer a 4wd PPV until somewhere around 2015 I think?
I am still confused. Just because it is a 4wd how does that make it a SSV without being a 5W4 on a 2012? Maybe someone can clarify this for me as I was told it had to be a 5W4 to be a SSV which my 2013 is which is also a Commercial?
I had posted this in reply to someone who had painted their dash Flat Black but I felt guilty for posting it in someone else's thread so I am starting my own. Tell me what you think? Thanks.
Same color combination! They could be from the same dept if they did not have different markings on them. Mine is truly from the Winchester New York West Seneca Fire District #1 and it too was the EMS Unit. I am still working on the original style decals to be able to remark it correctly.
I did something slightly different to mine.
I had taken these pictures with my work camera and it picked up the dust on the trim. I guess I should have wiped it down before I took the pictures? Oops!
I pulled out the dome lights and then ran the wire from one hole to the next and then put the dome lights back in so the wire runs up on top of the headliner where it is nice and safe.
I drive one of these bricks every day and I also have driven an 8 second 1/4 mile fox body mustang. This brick is not going in the 8's without some very serious mods unless it is off a cliff in freefall! Sorry to burst your bubble but nice ride none the less. :-}
I am wondering with all the electrical items that have gone crazy at the same time if the vehicle does not have a wire shorted out somewhere that is making the whole system go haywire?
My point was if you program it to the VIN the VIN knows the vehicle is a PPV/SSV and would be programmed accordingly as the vehicle left the factory? Unless you got the VIN to a regular Tahoe and had it programmed to that VIN? Not 100% sure on this but that is what the tech told me just now.
That is because most dealership techs are computer operators who can change the parts on your vehicle only after the computer tells them which parts are bad. If you are not doing cookie cutter tech things they have no clue on how to do it. I had that issue with mine until I finally got the...
Yes but won't they will come preprogrammed for how the vehicle came from the factory? That would still not resolve the changes he is looking for without additional updating. At least that is my understanding but I could always be wrong.
I have a 2013 SSV and my dealership turned my Automatic Headlights and Daytime Driving Lights back on and it only cost $50 for the special programming from GM to turn them back on? Why would you need $500 in programming? Makes no sense to me?
