Check out my new PPV build

[ChunkePPV]

I had to replace one of the taillights so I thought it was a good idea to upgrade, decisions are hard.

 

[ChunkePPV]

I narrowed it down to these two

 

[ChunkePPV]

And finally this is the one I went with!

 

[ChunkePPV]

I ordered the suspension kit that @RichardCranium recommended and 5 different headlight assemblies from alpharex, anzo, stock, and couple of odd balls and and will show you guys how they look, and maybe help me decide lol!

Nice looking truck and I like those new front seats.
The Does it have a trailer receiver on the back and if it does is there a tow/haul switch ?

 

[Kee Fuller]

I’m assuming you’re going to wire the seats up cause they aren’t plug and play.

 

[ChunkePPV]

Thanks on the seats! It is definitely crazy owning a PPV, still not sure on whether I should keep the searchlight lol, but I will check on the tow switch @Peacock
And on the seat wiring, I didn't realize it wouldn't just plug in, but thats how it goes. I bought a 20 pin male/female molex harness and will attempt to wire it up. I've seen a video where a guy got the electrics to work. My hope is to get the seat heating and cooling working as well. Any ideas where to look for the vehicle schematics of the Escalade seats? @Kee Fuller

I've never seen a ppv with body side mouldings on it. Do you know if it was municipal/local govt? Maybe supervisor's?

I found out from the guys on the lot, that it was the sergeants vehicle and it mileaged out. So it went to the lot

Trailer/tow switch is simple. Swap the gear lever. About $70, and takes 15 minutes.

It looks like you have the curt hitch already. I did that too, but the ground clearance became an issue for how I use thecopcar. So I swapped the impact bar to get the factory location.

I have no idea. I ended up getting my seats reupholstered. I didn’t want to fool with the wiring.

How much did that cost you to swap out?

Haa! yeah I love the challenge, if its possible I will make it happen, I ordered new/used door handles with heated and cooling buttons, I'm gonna see if I can make it work, I may put inline fuses everywhere and see I can get it working trial and error. lol

I bought mine from Rock Auto, $200 plus another $100 for shipping. I see them for $300 with free shipping on eBay. I figured RA was a better choice. I wish I had known about the discount codes when I did order.

I swapped out my front seats from an LTZ Tahoe. Have to make sure you get the donors wiring harness which comes from the floor and match colors and junk. I should have done a video on it. Now I have lumbar support

Do you know of any schematics? I want to try to make the heated and cooled operation work.

 

[balln2k11]

I followed this video found on YouTube. You have to watch it a bunch of times due to the poor quality but huge props to this guy:

My seats have both heated and cooled but didn’t worry about it. I understand if you follow these instructions the heated portion will work, don’t know about cooled.

 

[ChunkePPV]

Wow! Thanks for that, I will check it out!

Just got done with todays work on the suspension, the Belltech 752SP. Major shout out to @RichardCranium only got the rear done, but what an amazing upgrade for only $500 definitely worth every penny
