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

[MajorJakkov]

I know here in Oregon they confiscate vehicles in drug busts and then use them for cop cars or at least they used to. Kind of a way to mess with the dealers.

lol same deal here. i think that's where the Z06 came from.

Maybe this will be an excuse to get a smoked 3rd brake light haha

Got the hose and bucket out along with the step ladder and vacuum and cleaned the dirty little hoe. She cleans up good.
Took about two hours.

Where did you get the helper bags? I've been bottoming out since I lowered it back in 07, whenever I have 2 people in the 2nd row or have the back loaded. They look like they can help?

Also, question: You cut out a piece of the frame?!?!?!?!

How low did you go???

Did you do the free travel mod???

Did you have/keep the auto leveling rear shocks???

To answer your question... I ordered them online.

They are helper bags for a Nissan Pathfinder/Armada... Air lift model number 60742

My truck has a 4/6 kit and I did the free travel mod and installed a set of air shocks that are the same length as the Belltech Street Performance drop shocks in order to maintain the auto leveling feature.

I cut a notch in a crossmember that goes between the main frame rails... not the actual frame rail.

I was getting a bumping/banging in the rear when I would hit a sharp dip in the road prior to installing these bags.

I have not tried letting all the air out of the bags in order to see if notching the crossmember fixed the issue or if it was the bags or a combination of both... but it no longer bottoms out either way.

Just got back from camping. 136 miles back and not a bad mpg I'll say for being full of camping gear and toting the GF and two kiddos.

Drove her about 15 miles down the beach and promptly rinsed, the mudflaps I put on help a lot

Gave the Punisher a heavy detail, gave it a ceramic coating (which I highly recommend if you love your vehicle) and had it in a big car show yesterday.

Seriously, one of a few two tone vehicles I like. Not normally a fan of two tone, but you pull that shit off flawlessly

So I took the Tahoe for a camping trip for a few days up near Pittsburgh and the mountains. Didn't have any trouble before that I noticed besides a squeaky belt. I figured i would run a can of seafoam in the tank to clean it out a bit and maybe get a lil better mpg (far-fetched I know). So on a stop on the way up, I noticed a burning smell and got out and checked. Nothing under the hood. Walked around and seen smoke coming from the front passenger side wheel. Then it clicked, I was wondering why I was struggling to make it up these mountain passes and hills at 55mph. I used about 3/4 of a tank of gas to go 130 miles. My caliper was stuck I presumed. So, got the rest of the way there, and went to Monroe the next day. Said the wheel was spinning freely just like the rest, but I had them change the caliper anyways.
Thought I was good, then when leaving, stopped at a light, I smelled it again. Pulled off and looked and seen a lil smoke. I'm pissed at this point. So, I tried to think of anything else it could be. I figured maybe for some reason it was stuck in 4high/auto (I had it in 2wd). So, I turned it to auto and let it lock in place, drove a little, then put it back in 2wd and drove until the next turnpike station. Got out and it was fine. No smoke and no smell.
All of the mileage gauges and DIC controls show everything normal. Avg 18.1 mpg on the way back and used around a 1/4 tank of gas. 7.6gal of gas used.
Maybe I am paranoid, but I have been watching the gas gauge like crazy and feel like I am just watching it drop. Could the seafoam have eaten through a line? Could it have caused a problem somewhere?
I don't really wanna drop it off at the mechanic and have it looked at, but then again I do for reassurance.

Thoughts/ideas?

Put more gas in it.

Used a half tank driving to a beach in the southern part of the state and got a couple compliments on the tahoe

Washed and waxed it.

Yes you did 08. Is your drop a 3/5 and wheels 22 or 24? I went with a deep wheel but I’m starting to like the more shallow look better. The wheel size stands out more.

Those are 24s. They look great... Wheels without any kind of lip definitely appear larger than those with a lip. I didn't really want to go with 24s for reasons unrelated to appearance, so I went with a lipless 22. I might have to give 24s another chance next time around... they just look so nice with a nice drop.

Definitely not 3/5. Maybe 2/3 if anything

Buddy of mine had 24’s and ride was crazy rough so i went 22. You’re right though the look is killer
