    2016 PPV steering wheel swap and cluster question

    Hello everyone, Got a good deal on a leather steering wheel with controls and a nice colour cluster from the LS model. Few questions, so in order to control cluster from steering wheel it's just a plug and play? Do I need to change the clock spring? I see some say that need to add some wire...

    PPV suspension to LT,LS...

    I got mine from the auction, northtoronto auction in Innisfil, but there are lots of curbsiders and dealers who will be willing to outbid you. Durham Regional Police, OPP are selling their Tahoes there. I saw PPV sold there and a week later dealers selling them with 5k price markup. Some Tahoe...

    2016 Tahoe Heater Hose gunk inside

    No, I'm the second owner, its an EX police car. It looks like soot, I doubt that they used bars leak during service, might be before they put it for sale? Will coolant flush liquid wash it out?

    2016 Tahoe Heater Hose gunk inside

    Hey guys! Was working today on my T connector and mentioned LOTS of black gunk inside the heater hose. It looks like rubber inside the hose degrading very badly. Is it something that usually happens?

    Engine compression test help

    Did compression test today, checked 3 cylinders on driver side. Was approximately 170 in each cylinder, so I’m happy with results. Then decided to change transfer case fluid. Almost 1.25 dark fluid leaked out and I filled with almost 2 quarts. I see a bit improvement on MPG. Will transfer case...

    Strange that MagnaFlow don’t make cats for 2016 and up Tahoe’s, only back exhaust. Found that AP makes good cats for very reasonable price

    Engine compression test help

    Yes, I do have a live data monitor and it shows a stable temperature 1200F bank one and around 1100F bank 2. What I found so far online that inlet temperature should be lower by at least 100F than the outlet and if it is the same then cats need to be replaced is it true?

I drove about 3k miles and didn't see any drop in the oil level witch I think is a good sign...

    Engine compression test help

    I did spark plugs myself a month ago, had a hard time to remove the wire from #8, had to rip it with pliers. But I put some dielectric grease and anti-seize so should come off easily. I didn't use anything except 3/8 spark plug socket, I removed it from the top was SO tight but I managed it :)

    Engine compression test help

    Yes, removing plugs is the compression test part and was thinking just check 1 or 2 cylinders if they are good then no need to proceed, but I agree better to check them all. The reason for check it's just for peace of mind. Spark plugs and wires are fresh 1500miles on them. I'm having some low...

    Engine compression test help

    Some google search tells me that I need to remove ignition fuse, fuel pump fuse, injector fuse. I was just thinking of quick check one or two spark plugs to have a general idea about the condition of my engine. Didn't want to go through the hassle with all spark plugs especially with #8.
