    Paint help

    That's not good news, I'd personally live with it or if it's really bothering you have the whole car wrapped or resprayed. You could damage the clear/existing paint by trying to remove it off.

    Paint help

    If it's actual paint and not a vinyl overlay or decal you might be out of luck.

    Have you tried fresh fluid in the ATF and rear diff?

    It's for the divider/cage that goes in the back. I just used Gorilla tape cover the holes in mine. Not worth the time or headache to replace all the trim in the vehicle. Just the core pieces.

    Those are good oil pressure readings for the age of the truck! How's your interior looking overall?

    Congrats on the purchase. As part of your tune up you might also want to change the gear oil on both of your differentials as well as your ATF. Just a simple drain and refill should suffice and have your truck really running well. Another thing to monitor is your oil pressure. There's a screen...

    New Centre Console for my 2011 ppv

    I replaced the peeling steering wheel inserts with brushed metal parts and also replaced the Chevy emblem and airbag cover with a surprisingly well made eBay replacement. I've done a lot of work over the years on my cars but never done airbags so I was just as concerned as you. As...

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    It's possible our trucks were designed and manufactured by the 'old GM' hence the weak interiors. The interiors on the new trucks are really nice, even on the '15 PPVs. Thankfully these parts aren't terribly expensive to source so it's more of an annoyance at our ends.

    Reverse/Back-up lights staying on while in Drive and when vehicle is turned off

    Just posting a follow up here in case anyone else has the same issue. I was not able to remove the under fuse block completely as the harnesses (about 3 of them from what I saw) under the block would not disconnect when you pull on the 2 handles. There was also limited room to stick my hand in...

    Installed a New Driver Info Center Next Day. LOVE IT

    ^^ Looks like there's some damage just below the left vent but you can't go wrong for $10.

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    Another head scratcher is the black steering wheel inserts that 'peel' just by looking at it. How much money did they save by not including the 'metallic brush' parts right from the get go? :smh:

    Recommended trans fluid / diff fluids?

    I'd go with the OEM A/C Delco ATF and 75W-90 for the rear diff. Try your dealer for the part number of the OEM transmission mount then work from there.

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    @techbiker I agree that the trim piece is severely overpriced for the quality. The 'metallic brush' trim on mine has some type of peeling at the ends. If the truck didn't already have some other imperfections I would've sent it back.

    Help needed, U code (time to ditch the hoe?)

    @BlackDogBrian Take a look under the dash and under the driver and passenger seats for any wires that have been cut. Then also look at the cargo area in the rear. The hackers who take off the police equipment literally just cut the harnesses and plugs. Try to look for any wires that may be...

    Reduced Fuel economy no SES

    You'd probably get a CEL if it was a bad cat or O2 sensors. In all likelihood it's the gas stations switching to their 'winter' blends. Check your tire pressure too and make sure it's the recommended pressure.

    Tow/Haul in Tahoe PPV

    @Chad98 The folks over in the 2007-2014 PPV thread should help. This forum is for the 2015+ model.

    Finally Opened It Up and Stuck My DIC In

    Guys just curious, but are your new trim pieces with the DIC cutouts made in China vs. Mexico? I'm noticing some type of peeling around the edges but it doesn't appear to be a clear protective wrap.

    adding a DIC to a 2013 Tahoe SSV

    @Ron C CEL - Check Engine Light. You can disconnect the battery for piece of mind.

    Spectralens PPV Updates

    @spectralen You got a damn great deal on that 3-cup jump seat as you have greedy sellers asking $300+ for them. Looks 100X better than the 'crate' you had before too. Rest of the truck's looking solid as well.

    adding a DIC to a 2013 Tahoe SSV

    Should not throw any CEL but if you have a TECH2 scanner and look at that particular component then you may see a fault. Other than that it's a simple plug and play, hardest part might be getting the old trim off!

    @techbiker Thanks for explaining. I'll be sure to make note of that when I do my work.

    @techbiker Was the #8 spark plug simply not accessible with your tools? There are a few videos on Youtube with suggestions on how to tackle it. I need to replace the sparks on my truck and you have me worried about #8 now.

    Best oil pan gasket?

    Np @moab. Same as before, replace the O-ring when you have the pan dropped. The pickup line is held in place with 2-3 x 13mm bolts. The minute you remove them, the line should just drop out. This should not happen if the rubber O-ring is making a good contact. If you're replacing the original...
