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

First pic I've seen of the whole shebang. I'm not even gonna begin to guess what that gray thing does. Unless it is split and opens to fit over the tubing, I don't see how it could be a release tool.

Oh well, Pawpaw is covered one way or another with his orders.

the grey tool is a fuel line release tool but it's for the metal kind like what is used up on the intake the one that has the 2 metal clips going from a metal line to a braided line (I think)

shoot I only get about 8.5 on 93 I would probably get 4 on e85

so apparently in 2 years all new vehicles sold the USA will be required to have adaptive headlights, not sure if that will be a nuisance or not, might blind the crap out of someone on a corner coming the other direction on some dark road. I bet it will make headlights expensive as hell though having to be tied into the steering.

Just another thing to increase the price of buying and maintaining a new vehicle, and a way to get people out of cars and into public transportation. It's part of the plan....

Yeah, if I were wot 24/7 I'd probably average 2.5-3.5

Auto leveling lights/suspension would be better
Some way to prevent idiots from using high beams when another vehicle is within 500' any direction.

Drove it to Snowshoe, West Virginia, where we got hit with 24" of snow last weekend. It was among the best powder skiing I've had anywhere in the world, including Alaska, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, BC Canada, and Switzerland. I carried tire chains but didn't need them and I don't think I ever spun a tire. No other vehicle I know of can carry 6 people, a dog, and all of their gear, in total warmth, comfort and safety through a blizzard.

This used to be on a bunch of high end german cars for a long time. i drove an AMG merceds with them and it was pretty bitchin

My '10 CTS wagon had them. I like them but they are spendy to replace. I'd tossed around getting new ones to replace the ones on it because they'd started to get cloudy. They are literally $1,000 per light assembly to replace. Obviulsy, I decided against replacing them and just rocked what I had. I can only imagine the same is true on new cars if not even higher.

My daughters ‘18 Cruze headlights are $1200 apiece for OEM at dealer price, pretty sure most of the new ones are similar depending on the trim level. Hers are LED projectors with LED DRL and there’s 3-4 different trim level of headlights on the Cruzes. And they’re not even adaptive.

Europe has had adaptive headlights for years along with most other countries. I remember reading a couple years ago how far we are behind in headlight requirements compared to the rest of the world. Most headlights sold on American cars are junk that don’t work worth a sh*t, especially the lower end models. They’re dangerous to drive with in bad conditions.

Lol I just read some more on adaptive headlights and it seems we haven’t implemented them because a law written in the 60’s stipulates that high and low beams can’t be on at the same time. Adaptives have high beams on all the time and shade portions of the field. Interesting reading.

Adaptive Headlights Finally Bring US Cars Out of the Dark Ages

Adaptive headlights have been the safety standard in most of the world for years. Thanks to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, American cars will finally catch up.

yeah our old ass laws say that we must have separate HIGH and LOW beams, and those are the ONLY two modes available... its outdated and stupid.

I just got those push fit union connectors, they are the shit. And the quick release works well. Very cool! I think the barbed fittings maybe aluminum, they are very light and non-magnetic.

When considering ethanol, aluminum is better than brass. But, it's still much more affected than stainless. There's too many factors to make it worth using in the system. Those PTC unions are the safer bet in this case.

12.7mpg on E85
16.5mpg on 93

This checks out, seeing as E85 has about 27% less energy than E0. Especially considering that the E85 from the pump is often more like 60%-70% ethanol. So, it'd be a little stronger than that 27%, leading to less consumption. A full 85% blend should yield more like an even 12 MPG if you averaged 16.5, barring all the other variables.

 

[CaptainAmerica1]

Nice, I thought I was doing pretty good considering I drive 5 over the speed limit city and highway. This is a combined 80/20 city/highway. I don’t romp on from a dead stop, but I’ll get it to 110+ on occasion before I remember the stock driveshaft limitations. 5.3l 4l60e 3:42 g80. 226,000 on the clock…

 

[Monz11]

I think when I do the VVT and DOD delete I'll paint the radiator black so I can't see it behind the grill, or at least the tanks.
I don't really like it seeing the shiny aluminum back there... Pretty sure once I relocate the trans cooler to make room for the intercooler on the whipple, I think that intercooler will take up most of the aluminum core and I won't have to look at it.

I painted my mishimoto black, too

Any of y’all got ceramic coating on ya trucks? Is it worth it?

In Chicago, premium goes from $3.70 at its lowest (Costco) to about $5.85 (Downtown Chicago).

As for the question about the taillights, they're direct OE fitment from a company called Spyder. No need for resistors or extra harnesses. Complete plug and Play. As for them fitting, they fit fine. The only issue is a tiny mm sized gap at the top and bottom that I'm not happy with. Other than that, they work perfectly fine and light up nice and bright.

The full length 3rd brake light, I got from Amazon. I bought the smoked light and this part, I have absolutely no issues with. Everything was perfect and it was also plug and Play.

 

[AmunRoo]

I would trust there site about as much as when you said that Amazon mentioned the same thing. I think it was @Rocket Man that said something along the lines of “if they had to input EVERY year, make, model vehicles info it would be a nightmare for their system.


Are the 4th Gen tail lights the same fit with just a different look?

Try either a heat gun and some GooGone, or a bottle of hot water with a drop of fabric softener. Don’t ask me why the second one works, but it also helps take wall paper off like nobodies business. Since the plastic layer came off, you might be stuck with the heat gun and Googone.



Ignorance is bliss, so be nice guys, and remember I don’t do participate in social media of any kind outside of this forum, I haven’t turned on the news since 2012, and didn’t know gas pumps had movie screens that yelled at you while you were pumping. With that being said…What the hell is a “Doordash”.

I feel that way trying to play catch up sometime. Kinda like this response…it’s also a response to 107 other messages I just finally read through.

It’s a glass onion, not brass onion.



Did you try flipping any of your bulbs over? Some of the smaller LED blinker bulbs are “polarized” - I can’t think of the correct term, but some of them will stop that crazy seizure blink from happening just by flipping the bulb and reinstalling it.

The 4th Gen taillights will not fit the 3rd Gen trucks. The lights I bought were made for the 3rd Gen in the 4th Gen style.
