    Wheel hub cap spacer build

    Thank you! I'll be interested in finding out how the nylon ones do long-term, but since we usually have at least two ex-service vehicles in our possession at any given time, and the fact that my bride would make a good test driver for these things, figured metal was a good idea. They weren't...

    What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Tried to find OEM replacement rear shocks for our PPV, since we're installing a Bell Tech drop kit in it next week. Several iterations of actually finding the P/N, then, I gave up because the shipping was almost as much as the freaking shocks. Will probably 'spend local' instead.

    Remove valve cover over ignition coils passenger side

    On our '18 Tahoe, those metal lines are for the rear heat, I believe. They tee off the plastic tees for the heater lines going into the firewall of the truck. It looks like there is a clip for those lines down about where the firewall bends into the floor panel of the truck. Watching the...

    Timing Cover Gasket Replacement

    Yeah, I kind of figured that with only 2 total posts since joining on June _8_!! Wow, dump and run. I ended up exploding the brane of the GM website chat botter thing, so got nowhere there. I guess I'll have to take a drive to a brick-and-morter dealership parts department to point at parts...

    Timing Cover Gasket Replacement

    Found this post in a search for timing cover gasket, and am running into the same issue the OP is. Looking that FelPro P/N up on the O'Reilly's web site, it states that it only fits Tahoe to 2014. I'm dealing with the online chat on one of the GM web sites, and it's not going well. Perhaps GM...

    P06DD DTC - 2018 Tahoe PPV

    Cleared the code and restarted the Tahoe. The code immediately came back. I tried to unplug the solenoid wiring where it came out of the front cover, but while I could unlock the plastic lock, I couldn't get an angle on it to unplug it. Since I DID move it around some, I figured if it were...

    P06DD DTC - 2018 Tahoe PPV

    Driving my co-driver's Tahoe to the local recycle station today and discovered the CEL on. I checked the gauges and saw everything in normal range. I maintained a heightened sense of awareness on the trip to the station and back to the house, and sensed no issues. Got home, and ran a scan on...

    O2 sensor issues.

    Yeah, it's almost like they really don't want you doing that, right?!?

    No A/C out of the blues!

    No air coming out of the vents at all, or no cold air coming out of the vents?

    Rear Cargo Tie Down Anchor - Third Row Seat Cancel

    Nice work! I'm also frustrated with the lack of tie downs in the back of our '18 Tahoe. Our '10 Tahoe was much better in this department, but still quite lacking. How are you securing the panel to the truck, or is gravity doing that? I think I'd double the number of tie downs you are going...

    2018 PPV joining

    Welcome! As others have said, nice color!! Unless it's running rough, I'd not worry about a tune up. We did plugs/wires/filters on our '10 Tahoe PPV, just because it was at ~100K miles, and it made zero noticeable change in the way the truck ran. Our '18 Tahoe PPV developed a miss, and since...

    Question about buying a SSV Tahoe

    The only question I'd have is which DPS. Otherwise, what the others said.

    That's one mean run-on sentence!! :rolleyes:

    TPMS question/request

    Thank you. I know which sensor is dead, I'm trying to figure out if it's possibly the new one, or not. If it's possibly the new one, I'll, of course, be p1ssed, but would like to know so I can hold my source suspect, and not order from them again. If it's not, then, I'll order two more so we...

    What color is your bowtie on your PPV/SSV

    Ours was also gold, but weird that when viewed at a distance, and an angle it looked black until the vehicle turned toward you. I thought that was a pretty cool effect.

    Atmosphere you can eat, amiright? :Big Laugh:

    TPMS question/request

    We had a TPMS sensor die on us a while back. Like an idiot, I just replaced the one dead one when we had new tires installed on the PPV (It was due for new shoes). Sure enough, a month later, ANOTHER sensor has gone AWOL!! While I hope it's not the new one that's quit, I have no way of...

    2018 oil cooler assembly replacement?

    Weird. The FSM states to use tool J-41769 metal collar quick connect fitting service tool. I did try a couple of picks, but that was a fail, too.

    2018 oil cooler assembly replacement?

    Dragging this back up from the deep! I finally had some time to work on this thing (my bride was not on call this weekend!). 3rd time attempting to swap out the cooler lines and 3rd fail. So, I said 'eff it!' and removed the OEM cooler lines. I could never get my quick release tools to seat...

    No! No difference.

    Wheel hub cap spacer build

    Yeah, I saw those, but worried about them melting during a panic stop or autocross (yes, we've autocrossed our Tahoe PPVs!), allowing the caps to rattle loose and disappear completely. That's why I opted for the aluminum units. If I had a lathe, I'd have just bought bar stock and turned a set...

    Wheel hub cap spacer build

    Well, as usual, I posted this in the wrong dam section. Here it is reposted in what I hope is the right one.... When we took our '18 Tahoe in for new tires, I removed the hub caps myself for safe keeping while the tire monkeys did their thing. When we got back, and I was checking the wheel nut...

    Ppv center cap spacers and bolts

    When pulling the caps off one of our ex-service vehicles, I discovered they had o-rings at both ends of some of the bolts. I don't remember if it was on our '10 Tahoe or '12 Caprice, but one of them had them. Our '18 Tahoe had none. There's evidence the truck was driven hard and fast several...

    Ppv center cap spacers and bolts

    The bolts I have. Nice stainless ones. From what I can tell, the spacers, bolts and o-rings only come with the cap. That's kind of weird, to me, as it seems to be quite easy to have these go missing during a tire/wheel change, as I've experienced, even taking incredible care to make sure I...

    Looks like the gray A-Pillar Trim panel is available and about $70 in the gray color.
