What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[DaRosa218]

At least it being lowered will make this job that much easier on your back. Oh, wait a minute, it's currently lifted, yeah?

You gonna replace it with the upgraded design that helps with oil consumption?

LMAO, yes she is lifted again... I replaced the valve cover with the upgraded design and replaced both valce covers with Fel-Pro gaskets. It seems to have stopped my oil leak and hopefully my oil consumption issues as well

Put a dedicated hotspot in mine so I can take advantage of installing apps on the new head unit

Any recommendations for a bull bar, preferably matte black? I just want a simple one, don't need lights or the rock/skid plate/guard. Thanks!

 

[Doubeleive]

these guys are pretty reasonably priced for stuff that actually works, be careful getting a full bar that goes across the lights (wrap around) they can cause more damage in a minor accident than if you didn't have a full bar. I learned the hard way.

Okay, gentlemen... Riddle me this.

I bought a used Airaid 200-966 MIT for my wife’s Tahoe from a member at a GM truck site. Received it today and went to install it and the silicone couple on the MAF side is about an inch too short. Tried fitting it in various different ways, but to no avail.

I’ve read posts where people say that as long as you follow the instructions, it will fit just fine. There’s not much to install, so screw instructions! LOL!!!

I have one on my Silverado and didn’t have such issue, but on that the MAF is a separate piece of the ductwork whereas in the Tahoe the MAF is housed in the airbox lid.

What the hell am I missing...?

Is the coupler shoved in too far on the other side?

 

[Doubeleive]

if worse comes to worse just go by any hydraulic supply and buy a longer piece of rubber the same diameter, they carry all sizes

I would have to go outside and lift the hood, which I am too lazy to do, but I don't remember my MAF being part of the air box like that. Mine is an '08 Suburban LTZ 5.3L LMG VIN 0.

Good point. Kinda doubt it, but I’ll to check tomorrow. Like kbuskill above, I’m too lazy to walk to the garage. LOL!

The MAF/airbox look the same in this pic and that Airaid seems to be fitting just fine. There has to be a simple explanation to this. Need to look at it again tomorrow with fresh set of eyes and brain.

Looking forward to an update on this. I think I still have the original valve cover on mine. It'd be nice to know I still have one more trick to try.

That MAF is a 2010+ design.

I have a viper 5906v with smart start cellular module, gps tracker module, tilt sensor, glass sensor. it is a color oled fob with 1 mile range, viper phone app. I can be in Africa and start my car here, lock, unlock, pop the rear hatch. I have had this system and the previous models since smart start came out and baring a couple of minor glitches (on previous models) it works great.
if the alarm is triggered it signals the fob which has sound and vibration, and sends me a alert thru the app and records the alert in the app. the only thing I don't like about it is the current fob buttons are very sensitive and will depress in your pocket if you have it in a pocket with anything else, it does have a keylock option which helps but it will still buzz at you if the buttons are depressed in your pocket. a little annoying sometimes till you move it a little but I'd rather that happen then go out to a ****** up truck because some tweaker had to have my dvd system or wheels. on my old nbs if they ripped out the system usually it would cost another $500 to have the shifter fixed on top of anything else. it's not cheap to have installed and there is a yearly subscription for the smart start but it's worth it to me. I had mine set to sound both the viper alarm and the truck horn and I have added a internal high decibel siren (somewhat like a **** alarm) so even if your dead asleep it will wake you up and half the neighborhood.

Great info, thanks! I’ve been too afraid to put any decent electronics inside my truck for fear of break-ins. I think going all out on a security system may quell my fear.

its a fairly decent deterrent, people are going to get in if they are determined no matter what but at least now they cant just break a window and crawl in and crawl out and never set off the alarm.

With this being said... my Airaid MIT came off my brothers 2012 Silvy and bolted right on to my Burb without any new hoses. Just for the record.

I picked up a cheap backup cam to use with my new receiver. Since my Tahoe didn't come with one, I assume there is just a piece of plastic where it would be between the license plate lights, I should be able to drill through that to mount, correct? Would I be better off mounting it down by the tow receiver? I'd like it for backing up and lining up my trailer but also for monitoring my boat trailer while towing. Thanks.
