Re: 2011-2013 CAPRICE PPV STEREO INTALL

Double DIn radio wont fit in the dash and this crazy radio also controls the HVAC unit so even if a Double DIn Radio you would then have the problem of not being able to control your Heat & AC.

Re: IF YOU HAVE LIFTER NOISE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

If you can wrench on things yourself then you can always save your self lots of $$. This was more a story on several things I have done wrong over the years as a Police Chief and throwing money into cars to keep them going. My guys idle their cruisers alot and its hard on DOD componets. We used to h...

2011-2013 CAPRICE PPV STEREO INTALL

If you have any experience with 2011-2013 PPV Stereos you know they suck! 2013's are even worse because they have no rear speaker finals even though gm put speakers in the rear doors they decieded to cover the speakers up with the new 1 year only door panels. Then for 2013 they didn't put the rear c...

IF YOU HAVE LIFTER NOISE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I have had 10 Caprice PPV's and only 1 a Brand New 2017 didn't end up having DOD/AFM lifter issues. DOD/AFM sucks and robs your engine of about 50-60hp. You can waste time and rebuild your engine and install a dod delete kit but with todays prices for machine work and finding a machine shop that has...

CAPRICE PPV #2 GM LS3 INSTALL WITH DYNO #'S

Today I picked up Caprice #2 from Norris Motorsports in Plainfield. Let me start off by saying Mike Norris is JUST AWESOME! The last shop was less than a good experience. Mike fixed their problems quickly with real hp tune and not something a guy from the internet gave him on a thumb drive. That why...

Re: Caprice PPV New Jasper Crate Engine & Transmission+Dyno #'s

I have all 3 Caprices still...They are also still being used as police cars so I had to make them streetable. The crate motors were chosen because they were easy, already had the DOD delete which is what ruins these engines and had a 3yr/unlimited mile warranty. I thought if DOD delete adds 50hp, Ex...

Caprice PPV New Jasper Crate Engine & Transmission+Dyno #'s

About 18 months ago I purchased (3) 2013 Police Caprice PPV's from our local Sheriff. They were all tired and driven hard..not to mention repaired by not so skilled techs. The first one that I got back from the paint shop had a ticking lifter and a check engine light. I found a local garage and he o...

Re: Magnetic XM antenna performance

The 9v battery plugs into the amp and the wiring harness with the ground strap wires into the two terminals on the end of the amp. Your PPV should have everything else except a extended xm wire with farka connectors on both ends.
