BOUGHT THIS TAHOE FROM LOCAL SHERIFF'S OFFICE TO REPLACE MY WIFE'S JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE. WE HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 3 GROWING LIKE WEEDS. I WAS GOING TO FIX THIS UP AS A DAILY DRIVER FOR HER TO GIVE HER AND THE GIRLS MORE ROOM. MY WIFE LIKES THE TAHOE BUT HAS DECIDED SHE WOULD LIKE A SUBURBAN INSTEAD, SO THE TAHOE MUST GO!
LET'S START WITH THE THINGS I KNOW THIS CAR NEEDS:
RIGHT FRONT FENDER HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK SLIGHTLY AND MAKES CONTACT WITH THE FRONT DOOR WHEN OPENING. HAD A LOCAL BODY SHOP LOOK AT IT AND THEY SAID THE EASIEST THING TO DO IS REPLACE THE FENDER WITH A USED FACTORY REPLACEMENT. GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE VEHICLE STILL HAS DECALS FROM SHERIFF'S OFFICE USE, SO THIS FENDER WONT NEED TO HAVE THE DECALS REMOVED!
CHECK ENGINE LAMP IS ON WITH A CODE FOR THE RIGHT BANK KNOCK SENSOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND REPLACING BOTH SENSORS SINCE THE OTHER SIDE WILL SURELY FAIL AS SOON AS THE TRUCKS BACK TOGETHER. SENSORS ARE LOCATED UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD SO WILL TAKE ABOUT A DAYS WORTH OF WORK AND APPROX $160 IN PARTS.
HAS THE NOTORIOUS KNOCK FROM THE STEERING COLUMN, INDICATING AN UPDATED INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS DUE. SHAFT TAKES ABOUT AN HOUR TO REPLACE AND ARE READILY AVAILABLE ON EBAY FOR AROUND $60.00
REAR A/C CONTROL DOOR ACTUATOR IS NOT WORKING SO REAR A/C ONLY BLOWS WARM AIR. COMMON PROBLEM ON THESE TRUCKS AND REPLACEMENT REQUIRES REMOVAL OF RIGHT REAR INTERIOR PLASTIC. ABOUT A 1 HOUR JOB.
FINALLY, THE DASH WARNING CENTER SHOWS THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICE. THIS IS BECAUSE THESE WHEELS DO NOT HAVE THE CORRECT VALVE STEMS TO WORK WITH THIS SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO THE TIRE SHOP IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO NOT USE THE TIRE WARNING SYSTEM AS IT CAN FALSELY IDENTIFY NON EXISTING CONCERNS FOR THE OFFICER DRIVING. SYSTEM CAN BE RECONNECTED BY SIMPLY HAVING THE CORRECT VALVE STEMS INSTALLED.
NOW FOR THE GOOD STUFF:
VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH A TRAIL READY BRAND FRONT BUMPER. THIS THING WILL ALLOW YOU TO MOW OVER SMALL TREES AND OTHER OBSTACLES WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN! BUMPER HAS MOUNT FOR WINCH AS WELL AS 6" OFF ROAD DRIVING LIGHTS.
HAD VEHICLE CHECKED OUT BY LOCAL SHOP AND THEY FOUND ALL FLUIDS APPEAR IN GOOD CONDITION AND FILTERS LOOK NEW. THIS IS WHY MY OTHER CAR IS AN EX COP CAR, THEY MAINTAIN THEIR VEHICLES!!
I REPLACED THE HEATER BLOWER RESISTOR UNDER THE DASH AS THE FAN WAS ONLY BLOWING ON SETTINGS 1-4. THIS IS ALSO A NOTORIOUS FAILURE ON THESE VEHICLES. FAN WORKS EXCELLENT NOW.
VEHICLE HAS VINYL FLOORING SO SPILLS AREN'T A CONCERN. FRONT SEATS ARE CLOTH AND THE REAR SEAT IS VINYL. VEHICLE WAS ORDERED THIS WAY AS IT WAS USED AS A SHERIFF'S VEHICLE.
VEHICLE HAS THE MORE RARE REAR BARN DOORS, INSTEAD OF THE LIFT GATE THAT MOST TAHOE'S SEEM TO HAVE.
VEHICLE IS SET UP FOR 2ND BATTERY OPTION. HAS TRAY AND BATTERY CABLES IF NEW OWNER WANTS TO INSTALL.
PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO END OF AUCTION!

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
