…and they remove the rear hatch bow tie emblem in order to put their decals on. I called and asked if they had any laying around and they told me they just throw them out. ‍

Thanks for the warm welcome. I do not know a ton about its history yet. However, I do know that it was used by the Oakland County, MI Sheriff's Department.

After just over one week of ownership, I can tell you I am loving it. It did great in the big snow we just had.

As I do not know its history, I did bring it to the dealer yesterday for fresh oil and transmission fluid. They are going to complete the two open recalls on it (fan motor and passenger airbag).

Assuming it comes back from the dealership with a clean bill of health, I plan to order the Range Technology AFM Disabler.

Next, I plan to order an Amazon or eBay key fob since it didn't come with one. It has the AP8 and I found (thanks to this forum) how to program the fob. My fingers are crossed, but I am hoping the remote start was previously activated. I doubt it, but yah never know.

My 2014 came last month with 1 single key Since I tend to miss place keys I had to get more. Went to an actual locksmith store where cutting the ignition keys were no problem. Really needed FOB’s, as we all know, PPV’s have 1 unlock slot in the drivers door, The locksmith quoted me with 1 FOB and programming….up to $160. Mentioned FCC frequencies and other jargon. I then ordered 2 2014 Tahoe FOB’s on eBay for about $10 bucks And followed the Forum Programming instructions. I heard the two beeps and the door locks clicked with each FOB. They work perfectly!! & it took only 3 minutes. Thanks Tahoe (PPV) Forum!!
