Snow tires

I'm looking for snow tires for my PPV. Anyone know of a good source for them? New it will be about $160 a tire from Tire Rack etc.

Thanks,


Jason

Re: 2011 steel PPV wheels with or without tires FS

Wheels still available (don't need the tires)?

Re: Service procedure to reprogram the radio

So I was able to get an audio system to USB connector cable (thank you smwalker!). I repeated the programming procedure using the MDI cable and the GM Service Programming System (SPS). This time I loaded the required files onto a flash drive before starting the reprogramming process (as SPS indicate...

Re: Service procedure to reprogram the radio

Just as an aside another reason the radio does not turn off is a faulty switch in the drivers door lock mechanism. The BCM keeps the RAP relay on till it receives a ground signal from the drivers door (only the drivers door) that it is open. When that switch goes bad no ground signal is sent so the...

Re: Unable to view ABS/TCS, FPCM or other module data

Ok so I connected with Tech2Web (basically GM's Tech2 simulation software for MDI and other J2534 devices) and I can see the other modules using that (selecting the correct vehicle - 2012 Chevrolet Caprice in the NA software set). So you need a Tech2 with a CANDi module or a MDI or J2534 compliant c...

Re: Unable to view ABS/TCS, FPCM or other module data

Of course not; GDS is for Global A vehicles Unless you have a 14+ you don't have Global A; you need a Tech 2 :) So I can see the ECM and TCM data stream in GDS and it is listed as a supported vehicle in the GDS vehicle list but it isn't really fully supported by GDS? Ok, I'll try the Tech 2 (or Tec...

Re: Service procedure to reprogram the radio

I have a USB cable I could send you if you can try the steps again. PM me your address. Thanks. I'll buy one myself if I know what to buy. What kind of cable do I need? Do you know the part number? Is it one like this (copied from another forum post that didn't list the part number): [img] http://p...

Unable to view ABS/TCS, FPCM or other module data

I am unable to view data from any modules other than the ECM and TCM in the GM GDS system using an MDI interface. Anyone else tried to view the other modules? GDS doesn't even think any other modules (other than the ECM and TCM) exist so I can't look at live data from those modules or check codes in...

Re: Service procedure to reprogram the radio

Any more information on when the radio is considered "bricked". I tried updating mine because it wouldn't turn off and that was one of the potential solutions in the service information. I used an MDI to reprogram the radio but I ignored the USB part since I don't have a USB cable. Now I h...
