It would make jumpstarting other vehicles way easier as well, not having to fight that brace up by the firewall to get to the negative battery terminal.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

No need to connect the cable to the negative battery terminal. GM made a great ground point right up near the front on the drivers side of the alternator bracket, it even says <--- GND
Yup. I try to never connect cables at the battery due to a risk of explosion.No need to connect the cable to the negative battery terminal. GM made a great ground point right up near the front on the drivers side of the alternator bracket, it even says <--- GND

I will have to split my cables farther down so I can run one of them to the alt bracket. Good to know!No need to connect the cable to the negative battery terminal. GM made a great ground point right up near the front on the drivers side of the alternator bracket, it even says <--- GND

Created a platform above the vault that’s level with the folded third row. I also added 2 hidden compartments towards the seats. When I find more free time, I need to add doors to cover the storage nooks, and cover the wood with contact paper or carpet.
ordered new trico force wiper blades from the rock, say's there supposed to be good for 135mph plus, lol. well see
Rain -X is great at anything over 40. I don’t use my wipers much lol. At 80 with Rain-X you’ll never even know it’s raining.

Are the driveshafts in the NNBS even good for that?
On the GM TRUCK board there was a guy who juiced his Dmax so much and wanted to hit 140. We pointed out to him the OEM driveshafts typically fail 117 mph. The truck had a 105 limiter in the ecm- ithink.....

IIRC on stock tire size the NNBS driveshafts are good for 128 I think it was.

OK when the driveshaft fails on these big vehicles all kinds of bad $hit can happen , fragmentation can puncture a fuel line or tank.....
yaaa.... lol I felt pretty stupid after I posted that, lol the issue was I have insulators wrapped around the battery's so it was out of sight out of mind.I hear the dual posts are hard to keep track of.
I suppose it could happen I had my nbs up at 137 numerous extended times, this one the most I have had it up to was 132 but I hit 120 pretty easily often
I can't imagine what a driveshaft coming loose at that speed would do. My front u-joints broke at about 40 on the first run with my supercharger and it just about took out the pan. Oil filter was toast for sure and it dumped oil all over the road. It was pretty damn loud.
what part broke the u-joint?
I installed it wrong, over tightened the girdles and they broke. I guess I was in a hurry- installed supercharger, broke trans, installed new trans, broke u-joint. Or else eliminating weak points I guess.

I’ve been using Aquapel the last several years. Usually only have to apply 1 a year
I might have to try it. I apply Rain -X about 4 times a year.

Got under it to brainstorm on how to mount some new driving lights. I think it'd be easier with the bumper cover off, so I'll plan to do the driving lights and LED headlights at the same time. They're driving lights from a 2017 Muffstain GT, taken off when brand new. They're LED and look similar to Morimotos, but I doubt they have anything like the output. I just wanted black LED projector driving lights to forward my un-blinging process. They have four mounting ears in a symmetrical pattern and all on a single plane, so making mounting brackets should be fairly easy. The stock ones are 4" wide, these are 3 5/8". The 3/16" gap won't be noticeable.
Came with the Ford factory mounting brackets and screws. I doubt I'll have any use for the brackets:
The width difference is only 3/8", but it looks like more when comparing side by side:
Stock:
Muffstain:
I think they go better with the factory headlights and will fit in quite nicely.
