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

[wjburken]

Possible. I've never looked into it.

I looked into a couple patents for VFFS systems and it’s kind of interesting how they can take a combination of known Stoichiometric ratios of E85, E10 and E0 fuels, fuel line pressure, injector settings and rich/lean measurements of the O2 sensors and is able to calculate the % of alcohol. It goes into a relearn mode when ever the system detects an increase in the fuel level in the tank.

Yeah, I read that it closes the purge solenoid and takes closed loop data to figure it out. It only goes into learn mode when it sees 3 or more gallons, which triggers a refueling event. I ran out if gas once and only had access to 2 gallons of 87 octane and it got all goofed up. I had to reset it with the scanner.

Speaking of refueling events, I heard that the PCM adjusts for a calculated loss of octane rating. It factors the elapsed time since the last refueling event and the calculated octane rating (probably by knock detection/retard tables) of the last drive cycle to estimate the remaining octane rating of the fuel and factors that into it's ignition tables. When you refuel, it starts over.

A tuner told me this after I mentioned how much better my Tahoe feels so quickly after a fresh tank of 91-93 is poured in. Since mine sits for so long and is refueled once, maybe twice a month, I'm probably only getting the full 91+ octane benefit for the first week or two.

Removed the "DeSlugger" from the AC plug. Didn't like the way the AC acted when first started, it also made weird clicking noises.

While under there, I noticed the drivers side sway bar endlink end is broke at the control arm. Typical rust through the bolt.

I had to replace the ones on my 2011 when I first bought it. It wouldn't pass inspection for me to get my plates. I also had to replace the ball joints also.

It really sucked, replaced that stuff on the front end so I could get plates, then it was totalled by a drunk driver running a red light 2 months later. [emoji51]

What’s a deslugger? Or an AC plug for that matter? Am I missing something?

Thanks for posting the deslugger follow up report. Ironically the wifey heard our a/c knock on start up last week. I’m getting into the habit of starting the truck w/ a/c off.

I swapped my original cluster back in that I took out 25k miles ago, it shows 10.7mpg same as I am getting now with the new cats so I'm probably right where it's going be I guess, getting the ppv cluster worked on tomorrow i'm going to have like $500 invested in the dam cluster

Plug=wire harness plug that plugs into AC compressor.

DeSlugger is a little electronic box that plugs in-line to the above discribed plug.

I never heard of the compressor slugging, not sure where I’ve been all these years lol. Mine don’t do it, is it just certain compressors or models?

Pretty sure if it was potentially a issue on these trucks we all would have heard about it a long time ago, my guess is if oil is getting in the compressor and causing slugging then the compressor is bad and probably just needs to be replaced at that point.

 

[gooffeyguy]

Yeah, I never really heard of it being a problem (owned my 2001 since 2007) until I saw Snowdrifter post about it.

I was ordering oil and filters from RockAuto and went ahead and ordered a DeSlugger also and installed it a couple months ago

Want ro buy a slightly used deslugger box?

Not if it makes the compressor sound or act funny! Mine has exhibited no noises so Ill leave it alone.

 

[swathdiver]

I thought I read somewhere that they went back to actual sensors on the K2XX platform.

Yes they did and one can add it easily enough to the GMT900s and have a tuner activate it.

Now you're a pro at it and it'll take half the time as before!

Cool, mine runs best at around 20% gas mileage wise. That cat temp wasn't constant was it at that speed? Mine cool down a few degrees every minute until the throttle is blipped to maintain speed over bridges.

 

[gooffeyguy]

It's supposed to cycle power on and off to it real quick when starting up to help purge any oil out of it before it actually starts to fully run. Fast enough to not notice it, but I notice it and can hear it.

If my compressor was new, or I was installing a new one I would probably use the Deslugger, but as far as I know, my compressor is 7 years old

No its not constant. Fluctuates a lot

Thank you everyone for correcting me on the virtual alcohol sensors. Thats some fancy ******** they have in there.

Mines 17 years old and still going strong. I’m not going to mess with it.
