    adding a DIC to a 2013 Tahoe SSV

    @Ron C #20935584 has the 'DIC hole'. My '14 truck has #20935586 (no cut-out) in it so you do not want that part.

    Bought a used '11 w/ 140k, leave the trans or change fluid/filter?

    I'd seriously rethink sending a GM truck to a remote part of Africa vs. doing a drain and refill on the transmission. Have you thought of sourcing a Toyota truck or at the very least a Nissan or Mitsubishi? That said if you have no idea about previous maintenance or driving habits I would take...

    Bought a used '11 w/ 140k, leave the trans or change fluid/filter?

    @JasonPAtkins There's a few people with used ex-Police Tahoes (like myself) that have just done drain and refills. There is a noticeable improvement in shifting and operation temperatures from that alone.

    Best oil pan gasket?

    You should be fine with either the FEL-PRO or AC-DELCO (OEM) gaskets. Since you're dropping the pan, also replace the O-ring on the oil pump pick up line.

    75K tranny / transfer case service 2011 Tahoe

    @Clive How'd the truck drive after also changing the differential fluids vs. just the transmission?

    A Sticky for New PPV/SSV Owners To Re-Civilianize Our Tahoes

    @techbiker I believe it's a straight swap based on what I've read here. @2011SSVHOE replaced his and would be the best person to ask directly.

    Finally Opened It Up and Stuck My DIC In

    Looks great bud plus you saved a ton of money. That trim piece is a little over $200 CDN. :eek: Really wished they only offered the cutout piece as opposed to the entire damn part with the A/C vents.

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    @spectralen Is this product similar to the Techron product you mentioned? http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/gumout-high-mileage-fuel-system-cleaner-0380163p.html#srp @techbiker I actually purchased a MOTIVE speed bleeder for my VW Passat (when I still owned it) and I still managed to get air...

    2011 PPV

    I believe that #20935584 is the current part number for the 'Metallic Brush' trim with 'DIC hole'.

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    The AFM (Cylinder De-Activation) can lead to oil consumption issues. You should monitor oil levels on a monthly basis.

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    With the fresh oil and filter those oil pressure numbers are within spec. I would monitor the situation over the next few weeks going forward. Replacing the O-ring on a 4x4 truck is more involved due to the front axles but everything else remains the same.

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    Amazing work as before @techbiker I added half a bottle of the Lubegard ATF protectant to my truck this morning and was impressed at how smoothly the transmission was shifting on my way in to work this morning. I had my ATF replaced when I purchased the truck about 5 months ago and I've since...

    IMPORTANT: The Chronicles of Low Oil Pressure by 07burb

    @Andrew1068 What model year truck do you have and is it RWD or 4x4? Running a heavier weight oil is a band-aid and the real problem is the O-ring. FWIW, my 2014 ex-police Tahoe (with higher mileage) was exhibiting lower than normal oil pressure so I replaced the O-ring myself. The video below...

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    @techbiker The pre-cleaning pictures of your transmission pan are quite good, nothing to worry about with it despite the shavings and grime. The ATF colour would be considered 'normal' for the mileage & age. Have you replaced that shift linkage bushing yet? Curious about that part as my truck...

    2007 Yukon OBD Light

    @Desert Driver You definitely want to have those codes scanned first. CELs could come on for several engine/drivetrain related issues.

    adding a DIC to a 2013 Tahoe SSV

    I think the trim on our trucks is the brushed metal trim. I will also agree with you that the prices on the used trim pieces are quite high too. No guarantees that the clips are intact or whether the pieces were removed with trim tools as opposed to a screwdriver. :eek:

    HOLES IN ROOF, How many do you Have?

    My truck came with 5 holes - 2 running down the middle, 2 at the rear and one by the front passenger for the light bar. There's an ebay seller with plugs that work perfectly for covering these holes...

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    My truck's been quite reliable so far apart from some common GMT900 platform issues (which I'm tackling when I have time). Your oil pressure is what mine is after changing the O-ring and your engine idle hours are very low. Makes me wonder if your motor was overhauled recently or the vehicle...

    Restoring/Upgrading 2011 Tahoe PPV

    Congratulations on your purchase. Before pulling the trigger on our '14 PPV the wife and I cross shopped it with a '13 K9 PPV at the same dealer. It had a cleaner driver/passenger interior and the body was overall better but a quick OBD scan (on the test drive) revealed emission faults and the...

    2007 Tahoe PPV

    That price is quite high for a 10 year old truck especially if it's a RWD PPV and not a 4x4 SSV variant. Is the seller the second owner after the police/government or is the car coming straight from the auction. The mileage overall is quite low for a decade of use but there'll be engine idling...

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

    Hey guys, Noticed that on occasion the reverse/back-up lights stay on when in Drive or even when the vehicle is turned off. I have to turn the car on and then cycle through the gears until the lights go off. Did a little digging on the internet and it turns out some GMT900/NNBS trucks have an...

    We have an oil leak

    If you're a DIYer, you'll need to safely put the car on ramps or stands and have a look at it as @Galante said. The truck's almost a decade old and you may get the odd leak as gaskets and seals age.

    O2 sensor codes

    @Paddy - yes I agree that both going bad is odd. In my case it's just the one P015D and it seems to happen right after I fuel up at an 'unfamiliar' fuel station. Do try clearing the code and running 91 Octane to see if it might be a case of 'bad fuel'.
