Great looking vehicle! Thanks for starting up the talking walk-arounds again. I'm sure you guys are busy but this just helps (at least me) in understanding a lot more about the vehicle and the features.
I know! Imagine them saying School, or Poof, or Cool. anything with a pair of following "o"' letters. Wouldn't make sense, just like the way they say roof!
When I first saw the new redesign for the Tahoes, my first thought was that they were going to make really cool-looking police vehicles and it turns out I was 100% correct. The color combo that this particular Sheriff's Office has chosen for their vehicles certainly doesn't do this Tahoe...or ANY PPV...any favors, but it's still a fantastic-looking PPV overall. I'm a big fan of that brush guard/push bumper as well. Very cool-looking design and looks exceptionally sturdy. I really have only one complaint about the Tahoe PPVs and that is GM's refusal to put the 6.2 in them instead of the anemic 5.3. I never understood that...I'd think that the 6.2 would be preferred considering how much extra weight these things are lugging around with all of the equipment on and in them. Is the 6.2 not offered because departments prefer the better fuel economy of the smaller engine or is this just another case of GM being stupid? Hell, does the 5.3 even get better mileage than the 6.2 on a vehicle like this?! As a side note, GM finally pulled their head of their a$$ and they now offer the 6.2 in the Z71 (which is the package that the PPV is based on) and a few other trim levels of the Tahoe as well. I wonder if that decision will end up making the 6.2 optional in the PPVs moving forward? I consider the Tahoe to be BY FAR the best modern PPV on the market, but if they had the 6.2s in them they would be absolutely perfect.
Loved my old Tahoe but just got one of the new Ford Utility Police Interceptors with the Ecoboost engine and it’s an absolute beast. It’s faster then my old Hemi Charger and handles just as good. Loved the Tahoe for the space and other things but it’s slow and doesn’t handle near as good so I wouldn’t consider it the best modern police vehicle from my experience.
Awesome! I have a question? Did you guys have to remove the roof rack or is that how you guys got them vehicle? We have a ppv but have the roof rack and I don’t see any videos on how to remove them.
Several reasons. First, most are proprietary cables for a specific piece of equipment and because the manufacturer has to account for a variety of install variables, the cables are (usually) longer than needed. These are typically expensive cables to replace, a bit fragile or tedious to work with, and cutting/modifying them will void warranties for the cable and the equipment it connects to. Additionally, the connectors used are hard or impossible to find and the tools for replacing those connectors are hard to source and very expensive. Testing a modified cable would require specialized equipment, as well. Finally, all this would add significant time and labor cost to the build.
@@charlierumsfeld6626 Happy Thanksgiving. Understood. Most install guides advise not to coil cables or instruct to flatten the coil. Many of those cables are shielded because of the RFI threat. I was only addressing your ask about why upfitters don’t modify the cables and cut to specific lengths. It is always an issue to hide or otherwise manage the cabling. Radio antenna cables are usually cut to length for the reason you stated, but the other equipment cables often exceed the needed length substantially. For example, the Watchguard camera in that build has 14 cables, most exceeding 20 feet in length. Cutting them is not an option per the manufacturer and for the practical reasons I stated already. I’ve personally installed about 100 of them and am very familiar with that system, as just one example.

This is one of the best installs I've ever seen. This is pride in your work and it shows. Bravo to you and your techs.
Wow, thanks!
The way y’all say “roof” up there is adorable lmao

out of all the installs, ive never seen seat covers, it seems so obvious, but im sure that really makes a difference
Love the build, a little worried about the lack of lights in the rear window though?
Do the Soundoff Signal lights work with Core’s DVI pattern?
Had the same question
do love the US Emergency Service builds, neat & clean
Ik Canada 😔not so much
@@NoName-fo6ps here in Australia most police cars just run a lightbar
@@publicsafetylightsaustrali8590 oop
Great vehicle
In my department we’re lucky we have a light bar 😂
Love the video wish we could’ve heard the siren
Great build, Surprised at such a leading outfit. There was no DVI patterns. or was the pattern build a request?
Awesome! I have a question? Did you guys have to remove the roof rack or is that how you guys got them vehicle? We have a ppv but have the roof rack and I don’t see any videos on how to remove them.
Can you give us a rundowm of how the whelen core works and how it's wired up?
They say they’re from Minnesota but they don’t sound the same in Fargo? 🤔
Awesome Videos! Keep it up.
No rear lights in rear window or on the liftgate over the window? Not enough for me
Sweeetttttttt 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Is it just me, or are the lights flashing, then cutting out for a second and then restarting?
Coils of cables in the electronics box...Why aren't they measured and cut and connectors put on them where they need to be?(in my opinion)

@@C2Installations Coils of cables invite interference to those electronic devices. Act as antennas for RFI and EFI

Does F/S make dual tone?
May I have one please 🤗🤗
I got more lights on my pov.lol
When Iam a cop I will drive the unmarked version of this.
I’m probably gonna be driving the marked version
The Ford Expedition is far and away the better vehicle.
No bueno 👍🏻
