Howdy, boys:
Several months ago I bought a low mileage 2014 Tahoe. It was represented as an LS, and it may be. But I was looking at the glove box codes the other day and it has "VPV", which is the code for Kerr Industries. As I'm sure you know, Kerr does the police and emergency vehicle mods for GM there in Arlington. I called Kerr and they said they didn't know; they could not find a record on my VIN. (I understand that - it's 10-years old.) I can't find any spare wiring harnesses, it does not have rubber floor mats, no extra dome lights, no holes drilled in the roof, etc. It does seem to have a fairly stiff ride. It also has an "X88" build code (Chevrolet conversion) and an "NC7" (Federal Emissions override) - whatever those mean. The only other things I can say is, it was bought new by the U.S. Air Force, it is silver in color, and I love it. Oh, it came to me with stock cast aluminum wheels. However, they were suffering from a breakdown in the clear coat finish, so I put different wheels on it; the point being, it did not have steel wheels on it when I bought it.
I'm thinking if the air force bought it new, they probably got a bunch. Maybe they were used for base security, or assigned to a ranking officer? Is anyone familiar with this type air force Tahoe? If so, can you tell me why it went through Kerr Industries? Much obliged.
P.S.: It is 4X4.
