    No backup lights SSV ?

    Thanks, the bulb is good and in reverse there is 12 V across the socket. I guess I can explore the ground side of the circuit. Thanks

    No backup lights SSV ?

    My SSV backup lights do not work. It seems that I have 12 V at light socket when in reverse with no bulb in the socket. The bulb is good. Any thoughts on how I can get my backup lights to work? Thanks

    Broken Tail Light

    The tail light from DT Motorsports is almost the same as OEM. Easy plug and play, fit is perfect.

    Broken Tail Light

    Well, I bought a replacement from DT Motorsports in California. The add looks like OEM and only cost $50. In about a week I will know what I bought.

    SOLD Edge Evolution CS2 85350 - $250

    Interested but the mfg website looks like it would work on yours. Would it work on 2013 Tahoe with 6 spd and 5.3? I am most interested in turning off AFM

    Brake upgrade

    Good thread, all the upgrades on rotors and calipers are certainly a big help, big change. BUT break fade is often from old break fluid that has absorbed water. Have you completely flushed the break fluid in the last two years?

    TPMS Reprogram?

    Yes, when I got it at the policeman’s auction it only had a key but I was able to program a couple of remotes. I’ll bet Tom’s trick on the remote was what the tire guy did to program the TPMS. I got an EL-50488 TPMS programmer on eBay for $8. In about a week I’ll see if I can make it work.

    TPMS Reprogram?

    I can find a reset tool on eBay Hardware Version: OEC-T5 Software Version: EL-50448 But the instructions tell to use the DIC switch: --Enter the interface of tire pressure display by DIC --DIC shows "Press Set / Ctrl to re-learn" --Press "Set / Ctrl" I don’t have a DIC switch yet, will the...

    TPMS Reprogram?

    Time to swap my winter wheels for my summer wheels. With the COVID lockdown and my friendly local tire shop shut down I would like to get the program unit to reset the TPMS myself. I still haven’t added the DIC switch to my SSV. Anyone have any help on what I need to do this? The shop guy...

    Transfer Case Fluid?

    Yes, manuals are a great source. Mine came from the police auction without. I have a 2012 owners manual + a 2014 police supplement. Just trying to verify (or refute) advice on updates to original factory recommendations. Thanks to all for understanding and tolerance of dumb questions.

    Transfer Case Fluid?

    Yeah, that's it. I don't want to be another KNUCKLEHEAD but when somebody is telling me the factory uses thinnest possible viscosity to get fractionally better MPG, well it does sound believeable. Factory says Dex6, mine has run 100K so far and still seems good so I guess fresh Dex6 might run...

    Transfer Case Fluid?

    ... but, SilveradoSierra.com has a bad result story from SyncroShift. https://www.silveradosierra.com/transmission/dealer-using-aftermarket-transfer-case-fluid-t716019.html

    Transfer Case Fluid?

    So , I have done some more internet research. Bob the Oil guy has a thread that says Dexron 6 in a transfer case is a bad idea and GM came out with an update Precaution: DEXRON-VI in Manual Transmissions When DEXRON-III is indicated as the fluid fill for manual transmissions and transfer...

    Transfer Case Fluid?

    My 2013 SSV has the transfer case switch- 2wd-AWD-4hi-4lo. Supposed to use Dexron6 ATF? My mechanic is suggesting BG Syncroshift II, which looks like compatible with AutoTrak or VersaTrak fluids. I am concerned about the AWD position on my transfer case. There are friction clutches that...

    SSV Break Pads?

    I will have to look into Hawk pads. Yes, planning on the bedding in part, even though I never really did that before.

    Newb with a tow haul ?

    Nope, it is either in Tow/Haul OR in Manual. Tow/Haul changes the shift points to provide a little higher RPM operation, more readily available power and engine breaking. In Tow/Haul and with Cruise control set it wil downshift to control speed when going down hill.

    SSV Break Pads?

    I am pretty sure my 2013 Tahoe is an SSV. I am in need of front pads real soon. Are front breaks different on civilian vs SSV vs PPV? How can I tell which ones to get before I take them apart? Thanks, Rob

    Break replacement?

    Hey y'all, Thanks in advance for tolerating more dumb newbie questions. On my 2013 Tahoe, pretty sure it is an SSV not a PPV model. Suddenly I hear the need to replace break pads, at least on front. How can I determine which pads to get? Different sizes on various builds? I think...

    Has anyone run 275 50 20 tires?

    Interesting. My 275/60 R 20 are 10.8" wide vs 12" wide for the 305s. , so only .6" on either side. The sidewall on mine is 6.5" vs 6" on the 305/50. So 1" different in diameter. Mine only rub the fender liner in front, on the passenger side, just a tiny bit on full lock right turn. For...
