Seriously, hah?
You'd be better off buying 4wd model.
Just wondering. I'd do a 4L80E/AWD conversion if possible. Just not sure if the 4wd models share the same frame.
BTW, does anyone else's PPV come with a G80 posi unit? I learned quickly that mine doesn't.
I'm new to the GMT900 platform.

Different frames.
I'd do an 80e conversion regardless.
Not sure if the 1500 models, even PPVs came with them. I think its just the plain old 10 bolt.

I am planning on putting a Eaton Detroit Tru Trac to my 09 come spring. I am also thinking about going to a 3:42 from the 3:73 that my truck came with. I am not sure if it will change the gas mileage or not.

I put a Tru Trac in mine, love it. I've had them in the last 4 vehicles.
You'll probably see some improvement in MPGs with swapping gears, not sure how much though. I have been debating about doing the same thing.

At that point, you should probably just get a SSV rather than a PPV

A couple of years ago I took a tour at Lingenfelter Performance and they offer some upgrades to the Tahoe and other chevy trucks.. They are located just south of Fort Wayne Indiana.

Definitely. That's a lot of work for something you can buy already done, relatively cheaply. I know of a member on this list with a SSV who's contemplating selling it. He might be interested in a trade, although his SSV is _very_ clean.
Someday I will put in a second battery in my PPV and post a pic of it...in the meantime, there is a factory tray for the second battery on all PPVs from the factory, even if the second battery option is not ordered. I have a 2012 GMC Sierra 2500 as a work truck which also has an extra tray for a second battery despite having been ordered without the dual battery option

Have a dark blue '08 PPV with dual batteries. You can see how some of it is setup there.
