I have a 2015 Tahoe PPV and was wondering if anyone had any information or literature on the competition mode on this model. I have driven it in both modes and have not noticed any significant differences. I am also curious about how active fuel management works on these if possible!

Do a little research:

 

"

The stability system is capable of recognizing high performance driving with a Track Detect Mode.
When continuous high performance driving occurs in 2WD or Auto 4WD Mode, the stability system will automatically enter
Competition Mode. When engaged, the message "Competition Mode" will appear in the DIC and the Traction Control OFF and
StabiliTrak OFF lights will illuminate. (see illustration section for StabiliTrak button location)
Competition mode can be disengaged by any of these four methods:
-Discontinue high performance driving for approximately 2 minutes
-Place transmission shift lever into Park for a brief period of time
-Press and hold button to completely disable Traction Control and press again to re-enable all stability systems
-
Turn engine off

Right, I understand that, but it doesn’t really explain what happens when you put the vehicle in competition mode. For example, does it adjust throttle response or just suspension and steering?

I would "assume" that Traction Control and StabilTrac will be off.

The "barn" still won't be able to go 200 mph.

Yeah, I was just trying to figure out if that was all it did. When driving, I didn’t notice any other changes, but I was just wondering.

Active fuel management is when the engine isn't under much load it will switch from 8 cylinder power down to 4 cylinder by shutting off fuel injectors to those cylinders

Oh, that is what I had thought! I can sometimes feel it switching between the two, especially on the highway. Thank you!

I know its 3 years late but if you drive the truck hard in competitive mode you will notice a significant difference in the behavior of the truck

The shifting is sharper, the steering stiffens up and the engine gets more responsive and will not drop into cylinder deactivation mode.

The truck will also run to its aerodynamic tops speed of about 162mph.

 

If you just switch modes and drive  normally won't notice the difference. Take the truck around a slalom course in the 2 different modes and you will notice

lol, there is no way a PPV is getting up to 160 mph (heck, the charger & taurus SHO interceptors cant even go that fast)

the driveshaft will give out well before that is reached.  tires would have issues at that speed too

 

129-135 is more reasonable, thats still pushing it.

i havent seen any upfitters upgrading the driveshaft

its pretty cool that it can enter competition mode automatically given certain driving conditions.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
