The hazards: the body-to-chassis ground fasteners are intended to alleviate two-way radio static.

Affected components: radio suppression equipment ground fasteners.
Affected vehicles:
- 2021 Chevy Tahoe PPV
Number of affected vehicles: GM did not say how many Chevy Tahoe PPV vehicles were affected by this particular issue.

Instead of an proper police vehicle we get an expensive police state vehicle….
1.I would not call them expensive,with the upgrades from the last gen.they will probably still cost less than 40k. when Guestt gets his way we can put his “social workers” in a less than 20k econobox.
It’s completely unclear from this article whether this “ground fastners” purpose is ELECTRICAL, to properly ground radio equipment installed in the Tahoes or whether it’s purpose is to physically secure radio equipment.
The author of this article clearly doesn’t understand the difference, and/or used incorrect nformation supplied by GM.
Me: EE, Automotive Electronics instructor.
So a disagreement with what a cost of a patrol vehicle means “social worker “?, bet you’re the type of guy that calls SWAT for issuing a parking ticket.
HAs GM done anything to address the engine failure with the 2020 and 2021 9c1 5.3 liter. We are in the shop at 5,000-15,000 with lifter rail and valve body issues. Of course they are covered under warranty however, this puts a strain on the fleet
