What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[San Diego Tahoe]

@Cody W, can I ask what the purpose was for deleting the grille shutters? Did it have to do something with being able to fit that light bar in there?

Speaking of grille shutters, I haven't seen what they even look like - I imagine they're some sort of GM mechanism intended to boost fuel efficiency?

they operate just like window shutters except they are plastic with a plastic gear that opens and closes them as needed, and ya it's for fuel economy of course, mine are turned off with a tune, you cant just remove them or unplug them the system has a redundancy check built in so it knows if they are not working properly, I put a true-cool in the front and everything fits and works, only had to trim a small piece of plastic off of one of the shutter blades so they can move freely if re-enabled.

Yeah I needed more space for the light bar. They are plastic and look like house blinds. They close to help the engine warm up on start, and open to cool. They also close on the highway for aerodynamics.

Installed auxiliary light pods to help with backing up at night! 5% window tint isn't very friendly at night.View attachment 305374View attachment 305375View attachment 305376

They look great! Where did you buy them please. Also, wiring setup came included or how did you manage？

Nice. Now let’s get a startup video clip!

Thank you. They are Baja Designs s2 pair direct off their website. They come with a wiring harness if you buy the kit. Or you can buy them individually and wire them yourself.

I've wanted the heated steering wheel since I bought the car without the luxury package. The heated steering wheel is very nice in the winter on snow trips etc.
I order the following parts:
Heated Steering Wheel PN: 84483796
Clock spring for 2018+ w/ heated steering wheel PN: 84186645

Ordered from GMPartsStore and they shipped quick and I installed this morning. Took about 45mins when following along with the video of the "Tinkering Fox" guy doing it on his Sierra.
Pulling the knee guard back enough to get to all the wires (specifically removing the old clock spring) was the hardest part. I have big hands so it's tough to get in there, but I made it work.
Here are some pics.

I was very happy and felt satisfied when I saw the little orange light come on after all that work haha and once it felt warm I was happy the conversion was complete!
Also, a fresh new leather steering wheel after 50k miles is sure nice.

Very nice. My Denali is the first car I’ve ever had that came with all the “bells and whistles”. And honestly the heated steering wheel is one of my absolute favorites

Swapped Xenon Depot PSW26W 6000k for Morimoto XB sealed LED foglights and 5202 to PSW26W adapter harness. Yes Xenon Depot were brighter but Morimoto looks nice with black housing and its just foglight , not low beam

Before and after

What are you guys cleaning the "stainless" part of the roof rack on the Denali? Mine is looking very splotchy

Just got the Tahoe back from the body shop after someone crashed into the door and front fender. 4K later it’s fixed. Had to bring it back once because they put the Tahoe badging on crooked and I wasnt happy with the amount of orange peel. Looks OK now after they wet sanded with 3000 grit and polished it up.

Just use stainless or aluminum polish and it will fix it

How'd it tow with your C7 back there? I'm going to have to tow my Camaro on a long haul soon should be like 5500-6000lbs including trailer that I'll be pulling.
Also, did you see the youtuber StreetSpeed717 there with his black C7 ZR1?

I wish there was an good way to mount an Onx6 on my Suburban. Was that a custom bracket? How do you like the performance?

Rough Country sells a light bar and bracket set for the GMC Sierra. If you call their customer support you can order the brackets separately. You need to drill some additional holes in the plastic support piece for the grille shutters. Also needed to file down some nylon spacers from the hardware store since the light bar from RC is slightly wider than the onx6. Light output is awesome. The lens puts the light right where you need it

I’ve got about 11k miles on this trailer. My setup is about 5,200 lbs (the trailer is about 1,800 lbs). Loaded properly, you won’t know it’s there. Couple inches this way or that, and you feel your load working against you, so I recommend finding your specific load’s “happy place” on the trailer before the long haul. I also have a camaro and have towed it many times. You shouldn’t have any concerns. And yes, hung out with Mike and Shane at the Inshane tent a bit. Shane did some custom work for a buddy’s C8 recently.
