    Lurking no longer, now a PPV owner

    Well done intro thread with pics included. We expect DIC pics when that mod is done. :) Very clean looking Tahoe, congrats on the find! Your initial desires to change/improve were about the same as mine were. I really preferred the OEM center console, so I waited patiently until one popped up...

    Need to get some of the PPV adhesives off a new to us PPV

    All the above mentioned, then I'd definitely cut it with an orbital and some good compound. I had to do the same where the sun baked the finish from 10+ years of service, it was like brand new under the decals.

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    There comes a time for all of us. . . . . . . Unfortunately, that time has come for me. . . . . . . . Time for a trickle charger, that is. :lol: The Diehard is dying hard, but figured mostly from my not needing to daily the Tahoe in about 3ish years now. Pretty thankful to have a take-home...

    2013 Chevy Tahoe Z71 PPV Outfitted, Battery drains overnight.

    From previous years where I turned wrenches for a living, and from a couple of key parts you pointed out, the first thing that pops in my head is going to be the idea you don't want to hear. That is going to be chewed wires. You've done the best rule of thumb though with the K.I.S.S. method...

    Tahoe PPV (police package)

    I had a flashback to 2004, and wanted to post the meme "I can catch lightning in a bottle, but still can't figure out wtf you just said". I thought I might be the only one....... :p

    Full air-ride swap/lowering - What to look for?

    Great info, thanks man!

    Full air-ride swap/lowering - What to look for?

    Are you using these on the front of yours? Good info on the TBSS bags, interesting. Also since I already have a Vaair 450c compressor and 5gal Hornblasters air tank for my trainhorns, I might really be able to budget airbags all around. Hmmm.....

    Full air-ride swap/lowering - What to look for?

    Hope there are still some of you around that have full air-ride setups. I've been searching here and elsewhere online to see who still offers a full kit for the GMT900, a few of the more reputable companies don't seem to offer their kit for this chassis any longer. Kelderman seems to have been...

    Lowering Kits

    I'm easily over 50k miles on my Belltech kit, clearly one of the best things I did to my Tahoe. While I don't have any experience with any of the off-branded kits, and I didn't have any factory air ride, I can tell you I have zero regrets about going Belltech. The kit was complete and...

    What color is your bowtie on your PPV/SSV

    I am pretty sure they all came gold, mine did too. I removed the chrome grill inserts and found an aftermarket black grill set, and painted my bowtie black like my heart also.

    New to the group, 2014 Chevy Tahoe PPV

    Welcome! (bump for pics)

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    Washed both of my old turds, looking spiffy.

    FWIW, the fuses for the cigarette lighter sockets are in the side of the dash, in the driver's side door jamb. They are labeled something like AUX and AUX2. Ask me how I know. :lol:

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    Here is the end result, of the back of that socket secured. Forgive me for the subject being out of focus. I now have super glue over both thumbs, both index fingers, and a few more phalanges. I haven't used super glue in so long, it shows. :lol2: Front side, all buttoned up. *******

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    @vsp4717 was right, not much room was needed to get this socket to fit. In fact, if the factory faceplate was thinner, this USB hub would actually thread in. The barrel of the hub fits perfectly into the opening, here is the "just the tip" teaser. So, I had to come up with a way to gain more...

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    I went ahead and picked up the USB adapter that @vsp4717 mentioned, got it installed today. If y'all have read this thread so far, you know I like to photo document. Mainly so anyone else with less experience can see what it would take to do some of these things. This was pretty simple, honestly...

    Ppv suspension to civilian question

    The only difference in our Tahoe's from a normal are the rear springs. The low profile tires are what gives it the ****** ride, and also what lowers it.

    Tires: 265/60 vs 265/70

    I wouldn't hesitate on the tires, like mentioned you can get the speedo fixed. Worth getting a driveability tune at least, and when you pay for that it'll unlock your VIN and they can change the speedo then for the right tire size. A good tuner will know where to go to grab someone else's tune...

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    Good stuff. Do you have a picture of it installed, the finished product? I'd like to see it, I definitely would do if it looked pretty close to factory.

    Looks great! Those wheels really fit the look, well done. :drunk:

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    A buddy did the rollers for me, I shoot antiquated DSLR stuff (with mirror)......I'm a Canon guy. For all my still shots, I am using a 1D Mark IV and primarily a Canon 100-400 L lens. For these rollers, Mike is a mirrorless Sony guy, I think......I'd have to check.

    Sooooooo, I bought a PPV ...

    I've driven 5+ hour road trips to Charleston and back, no issues at all! It was a legit concern of mine. No brake fade, but most importantly no issue with the trainhorns either .
