Hi everyone,

New here. I just bought my first Tahoe from a Government auction. It's pretty basic, no console, 3rd row seats or even a roof rack. It does have 2 batteries, tow package and Rancho air lift suspension. I did buy a roof rack and center console from a guy parting out his 2012 LTZ. Anything else anybody thinks I should get off that LTZ? I like do my own maintenance and tinkering so I'm looking forward to the forums.

I appreciate any guidance or advice for these vehicles.

Thanks !

Welcome Reg! Grab the DIC switch and the trim piece, you can use it as a template or wrap it or paint it, etc.

I'd grab as much off it as I could afford. Does your truck have a hitch? The LTZ does! Front tow hooks?

Welcome to the forum from Oregon. More pics inside and out please.


We recommend that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. While you may have posted pertinent info in your first post, you may forget to do it again and the info is needed by us anyway. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that image in your signature. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.


If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.

yep get the center console, the power fold led signal mirrors (be sure to get the drivers door switch with them because it has the programming in it for the mirrors, if you can get the whole door harness for both front doors so hopefully it will just be plug-n-play, also maybe the steering wheel and clock spring so you can have steering wheel controls, nav radio if you like the oem radios, you will need to get a gps antenna for it and have it programmed to your vin, you can do that yourself if you grab a tech2 (clones run about $300) will come in handy for all kinds of things down the road. maybe the wheels if you like them and if you don't have a spare under the back grab his, and if you don't have a tow package grab his you might need to whole rear bumper (metal part) because yours probably just has a bar in back which might not be tow package ready. just depends on the options your ssv came with.
