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

[GreyStone]

I have been using M1 extended performance filters but last time I switched up to the Fram Ultra Guard filters... I have never used Fram on anything before but these new Ultra Guard filters are supposed to be the best out there. Everybody over on "Bob is the oil guy" raves about them so I figured I would try them out and see how the oil sample turns out.

I run a dual remote mount oil filter setup with oversized filters... gives me about 4.5 times the filter capacity over the stock filter, as well as an aftermarket oil cooler.

System capacity is about 9 quarts and about 8 get changed during an oil change, the rest stays in the cooler and lines etc.

Wow....nice set up!

Swapped old "chrome" and body color handles for black. Slowly transitioning away from any chrome. Springs in the old handles were weak and the difference was noticeable. Also added sound deadener and insulation to every door while I was at it.

That’s not chrome. That’s brushed for the z71.

Hopefully you went with OEM handles, the aftermarket ones won’t last long before they break.

I was thinking the same thing.

Not OEM. Certain areas are beefer than what I took off. Obviously materials may be of a different quality. Time will tell.

Hmmm. I've never been accused of "liking to cook." LOL JK

 

[Fless]

DAMMIT!!

My best friend (Doug) in high school used to call me that. A lot. "Dammit, what are you doing?"

The area that’s important is weak on all the aftermarket ones. If it breaks quickly you’ll know. Unfortunately all the aftermarket ones do. There’s a reason they’re 1/3 the price of OEM.

Put in the projector style LED reverse bulbs that were delivered today and returned the Sylvania LED bulbs to get my $14 back....lol

I'll check them out better when it gets dark out, but I'm sure these will be better. The Sylvania's only had LEDs on each side, while the replacements have them all around and on the tip.

Got them through 1A Auto so if that happens I'll find out how they handle their lifetime warranty.

didn't know the hypertech would unlock my parked rev limiter so never heard what the Borla really sounds like until now

Do you have cats and headers? I have 2 brand new Borlas. Been debating on what to do with them. I have LTs and no cats.

no headers, that is just a k&n blackhawk, ls7 90mm throttle body, 2 magnaflow cats, the factory pipe is 3.5" on the L94, 3.5" in/out straight thru borla xr1 and no rear resonator
the borla is somewhat quiet if you are just cruising highway speed

Sounds aaaight

Sounds aaaight

ya it's needs some whine.... someday, I'm thinking next year I might try to put some money aside for something..engines still a baby only 50k on her, making double payments on the Silverado so it might actually be year after next.

I do 5000. Nice and easy to remember number. My OLM is usually about 30—35% at that time.

I do the same, every 5k miles like clockwork.

 

[gooffeyguy]

Filled up with E85. Mobil station near me is $1.65 gallon. Took 24 gallons. My alcohol content went from 62% before filling to 73%

Then washed it.

Same here. For 1/3 the price, I thought I'd try one. My OEM one failed in an unusual way, not the typical failed inserts. So replacement was the only option. I was pleased to see the aftermarket one had more material in the area where mine broke. It's been in service for a year without issue so far. As far as I'm concerned, they all break too easily. But unless someone comes up with a billet replacement, they're all the same.
