What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Sam Harris]

Yeah, been here more than half my life and it's gotten so worse over the years, especially lately. The hostile takeover of the state is ruining everything I came here for. Like the minimum "non-fossil-fuel" inventory that the car dealers are fighting is one thing, along with the adoption of California emissions - ugh. Leave us alone and let us buy what we want and need. Colorado's going to pot, pun intended.

Mark my words, it won't be long until the free car charging stations start costing money. That's mostly fossil fuel generated, BTW. And the loss of gas taxes is going to change for those people. That'll be a JOLT, 'nother pun intended.

Yes. Hell in a damn hand basket. Hicken-ass was terrible, but didn’t even hold a candle to this clown. How about the “epic” rockslide, we need to make into a monument?!?.. what a joke. He’s finishing off our state in short order.

Sometime ago an energy expert considered if California went nearly full electric cars, as they want



......

Something like 30 megawatts per ( what used to be) a gas station.....per day!!!!!) The state would require 6 new nuclear power plants...... ( I'm paraphrasing )the info, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to have zero emissions in a state.

I moved from Kalifornia 7 years ago....... Best move ever, & was perfect timing.

Yep, years ago I read the entire publication on the nuclear fuel cycle, from the Australian Nuclear Energy Commission (or whatever it’s called) I learned a ton about energy, in all it’s forms. It’s just not possible to have zero emissions energy at this point in time, and the mandates that have been setup are unobtainable. It’s comical that these clowns just implement these mandates, until you consider the “consequences” we have when we fail to meet them. [emoji35][emoji2959]

Did you see where Berkley, CA has banned natural gas in all new buildings? They said it’s for the environment but the electricity that will be used has to come from somewhere unless they have a magic battery that charges itself automatically.

Here in Colorado they've been changing the electric generating coal plants to natural gas. Once California gets a half-assed magic battery I'm sure we'll be changing to that. Stupid is as stupid does.

Berkeley's folks are going to be pretty uptight, not being able to fart inside. They'll have to go outside with the smokers.

They are nuts. If they want to cut down on natural gas, they should shut up and quit farting themselves instead of pushing their fantasies onto us. Lead by example and quit farting you do-gooders, them cows can't help it!

Rock Auto "complies with state taxes" but won't calculate and charge city taxes. I'm not sure if we have a city tax for this but they just won't process any of my orders.

I have the same issue with rockauto and discontinued doing business with them. I don't have a secondary place to have my items delivered to, so I've been using the dealership for parts.

Will the online dealerships do the taxes? They’re way cheaper than my local dealer.

Steve and Sam, couldn't agree more. I moved here over 20 years ago from St Louis. It was great then, but it has become nearly unbearable now. I am thinking seriously about moving back to Missouri, it has actually been going in the opposite direction of Colorado.

Wonder if they'll ship while the union is on strike?

I don’t think the dealerships are union. It’s just the people building the vehicles that are UAW.

Gotta keep this thread near the top of “today’s posts” ...I replaced the rubber line on my Clean Side Separator with the -6 black braided line that came today. One step closer to having all braided lines.

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been here, quick question.

My CEL light is still on for the knock sensor and now an 02 sensor.

My question is does anyone know a place to get a good knocn sensor harness I got a cheaper one so I'm sure that's my issue.

Also how big of a difference does new plugs and wires make on performance? My truck is pretty sluggish off the line and it's really frustrating especially since it's a denali with the 6.0l. It only has many 120-130k on it. Or do you guys think I'm over looking something else.

I've cleaned the throttle body, injectors, replaced the o rings, new tb gasket, valley pan gasket, intake manifold has been cleaned and new gaskets. I'm also thinking maybe the fact that the muffler rattles maybe theres a lot of back pressure that's slowing me down since it sounds like the internals of the muffler have rusted off and it may be clogged? Idk if that's a thing

Also I'm getting a new exhaust put on in the next couple months. Just gotta get a few more detail checks lol

The GM part is" Genuine GM 12601822 Knock Sensor Wire" but did you use genuine AC Delco sensors? It's usually aftermarket sensors that go bad quickly. Plugs and wires can make a huge difference depending on what yours look like. And a bad O2 sensor can also have a huge impact on performance since the computer uses them to determine fuel ratios. You also might have a plugged cat to go with the o2 sensor, I'd have a shop check them.

I used ac delco knock sensors.

I'll check the codes again. And see if the o2 sensor is still tripping it.

Idk how to tell if the cats are bad but when I get the exhaust done I'll ask them to look at it and possibly replace them.

I do want to get the plugs and wires done before it gets too cold

 

[Sam Harris]

Are you sure you’re hearing the muffler making noise, and not the cats?

Nope but when I get under the truck the rattling comes is loudest when I'm near the muffler

Try banging on it with a rubber mallet when it's off. You should be able to narrow it down.

I would hit the muffler with my fist and it would rattle like there was stuff in it
