Only Tahoe model without one. Pursuit rated, not tow rated.

The supplemental police owners manual i have with thecopcar states this vehicle not intended for towing.

Welcome! As others have stated, lots of knowledge and experience here with both the whole GMT900 chassis and the PPV or SSV models as well. Stick around, share your progress changes, most importantly post lots of pics!

Welcome to the party!

First order of business is to get a DIC if it doesn't have one

Indeed. Then post an obligatory DIC pic.

Here is my 13 PPV on 22” GM Transport wheels, 285 45 22, and Belltech lowered 2/4, spindles in the front, springs in back. So you have a reference if you need. I like that red.

Get a good deal on the transport rims? Guys act like they're made of gold. Best deal I ever saw was $400.

it’s because the dealerships have a $1500 core charge on every set. I worked with a director of parts at a local Chevy dealer, and that’s the cheapest he could let them go for. I found this set on a Chevy forum, guy from Long Island, got them for 500, but it was right at the beginning of the pandemic last year, and I paid uShip to bring them for another 300. I should’ve just drove up and got them myself. Said he still has other sets though.

ok so ive finally had time to clean this thing up and start to play around with it. i have a few questions.... and it is stickered as a ppv not ssv

it was ordered so that "auto" lights do not work or stealth mode. any way to program that back so it works? or d0 i have to see a dealer?

also seeing someone on here saying you are not supposed to tow with these ppvs is that true? mine has a hitch and electric plug

anyone lowered one? i could use advice on what kit and how low you went?


and has anyone swapped a factory steering wheel for an aftermarket (billet grant etc)?

Hey, if you look on the previous page, I replied about how mine is lowered, and with rim/tire sizes
