New ppv owner

[Joseph Garcia]

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

More pics, please.

As folks have stated above, the RPO code sticker in your glovebox is your bible regarding the existing/OEM features of the truck. Study it and reference it to an RPO code print book for your model year, and you will very quickly get to know your new-to-you truck.

Welcome to the party!

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

Well the window sticker says police pursuit package?

Look at the data plate in the glovebox. It will say either PPV or SSV as one of the codes. This one is shown as a PPV as noted in about the center.

If you want to know exactly what your vehicle came with fromthe factory go to comp9.com, there is a fee, and enter your serial number and you will get detailed info on which options your Tahoe was built with. As shown in thsi spid as well as the PPV Code there is also the Z56 Code which you do not get with an SSV which is the 4 x4 Tahoe. As was stated fleet buyers can equip their vehicles and way they choose. Pictured is my 1999 Z56 Tahoe 4 x 2 with the Z56 Police Package and it was purchased new by the Gilroy California Fire Dept and it has the upgraded Silverado package and even front and rear A/C.

You can get the same information for free from GM. Just go to their website and hit the chat button and if you give them your VIN, they will send you the build sheet.

Welcome from Miami Beach Dustin!

Whether it is a PPV or SSV your Tahoe looks to be in excellent condition. Nice find!

Nice find, Hey the easiest way to tell the difference between PPV/SSV, ppv's are 2 wheel drive. and it wont have a trailer hitch.

I have done that also - compliments of GM in the same manner!
