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

[lowh07]

any regrets going 22s? i'm on the fence now about 22/24 and your truck leans the 22 argument hard. that and good tires are about 100/ea cheaper

Thanks. I had 24s and went to 22s. Maybe it’s just the slides I had, but they were pretty heavy. Felt it in acceleration, braking, ride quality, mileage...but they did look good. I kinda prefer the look of 24s and may try them again someday if I find some light ones. I don’t have any of those issues with 22s, or they aren’t as noticeable. Not sure how much this helps since I’m still on the fence a little lol. I guess it depends on how much you value performance vs looks. If someone else has had a different experience please chime in.

More HP (Whipple, cam, headers), better brakes (Wilwood) and the best suspension components and I can't tell the difference between my 26's and my 22's. Well except when I hit some rough road lol. Just sayin'.

LOL good thing I have this LSA patiently waiting...cam/headers as well, and hopefully my new EBCs will cut it for now.

That should help because if you feel the difference in acceleration between 22's and 24's you're definately lacking power or else you have a good imagination. Now get that blower on there!

[emoji23] I’ll blame it on the slides and totally stock 5.3. I’ll probably try 24s the next time around. anyone know what wheels these are? Not my pic or I would’ve found out...

Sounds like someone needs a Blackbear tune.

The Blackbear tune is now there, just not with the 24s. Game changer

I thought about that before i bought them back in jan/feb but seriously no diff than stock if not a little better. Although def needs the swtchback/drl thing like @lowh07 did..

 

[Drok]

Heck yea @Galante switchbacks are great i have them in my factory housings

Where did yall find those lights? Are they projector ones?

It's easy to put HIDs in these projector housings, so my output is great

Saturday morning, I hauled the 70" shop TV to it's new owner:

So, if anyone was curious how big a TV a Tahoe can carry, here ya go. I wasn't really trying to sell it, but he offered me twice what I paid for it. I have a spare 52" that'll take it's place well enough. The buyer services a small chain of automatic car wash facilities so the Tahoe got a free "ultimate" wash.

make sure to check fluid level, that cooler will add a little bit of fluid capacity (i think they say 1/2 qt)
with a 3000rpm stall temps cruising are 135-160, 160-190* beating on it...ive maybe seen 200* once or twice that i can remember and i usually keep an eye on it

yep it took 3 pints, i guess that is combining what came out changing from the original to the flexalite then to this

on a short 5-6 mile drive the trans didn't go above 151 which is good

City driving or highway for that little run? For mine yesterday, running an hour at 70 mph with the outside temp 92-93 degrees the transmission was 157. Pulling off and stopped at a light it hit 172 then cooled down a couple of degrees while doing 45 mph.

 

[CHOO CHOO]

Took it for a 200 mile round trip this past Friday and it did pretty good overall for mpgs

 

[swathdiver]

Not bad for lots of rain either Phil! I've watched my mileage plummet hitting wet roads and then torrential rain. Was 60 mph your average speed for that run?

Like the blue gauges

That was about 3 miles on the hwy then drive thru mcd's and back up the hey, going about 85-90 each way, I got it up to 178 later yesterday really pushing it that's all the higher it went, im leaving on Sunday for about a 2k round trip thru the mountains and stuff so that will give me a better overall snapshot

Some preventative work, I don't need crap in the vent lines, pretty simple job
