Hello.


Been wanting a Tahoe PPV or SSV for many years now, finally found “the one” , a 2018 Tahoe PPV. Flew out, bought the truck, and drove it 1000 miles home. I’m just in love with it.

I like doing my own maintenance and just messing around with my vehicles, so I look forward to using this forum for guidance if needed and hopefully contributing to others questions to the best of my knowledge. This is the newest Chevrolet that I’ve had, so there might be some differences from what I’m used to that I need to ask about. Previous owner of a 2013 Silverado work truck, 2013 Tahoe LT, ‘98 Suburban amongst several others.


Thanks for having me

Thanks for the kind welcome. This is the only pic I have just to hold everyone over for now. lol. Will definitely get some better pictures once I can shine her up real good.


Welcome from NJ. Post up a few pics. Know which agency it originally came from?

Yes, it came from a sheriff’s office in Missouri.


Quick question: Last Chevy engine I did a tune up on was a 2013 5.3. Does anyone know if there are any major differences between the 2013 and 2018 iteration of the 5.3 as far as a basic tune up is concerned? It looks pretty much the same with just some more plastic in the way. Apparently the 2018 version is not a Vortec anymore.

That’s a nice color and I’m digging the black spotlight.

I’m not sure where to point you on the engine though.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

Nice find!

@BlackBearPerf can tell you if your 2018 can be tuned.
