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

[Drwinlied]

You're not the first and won't be the last!

Piston side isn't outward. When you flip it over to mount it to the other side, it'll make sense. You might even hear the harmonious angels "Ahhhhhhh."


Oh- DON'T push the pedal to the floor. If flipping the calipers doesn't completely resolve your bleeding woes, you might need a new master cylinder if you've been flooring the pedal while fighting the brakes all this time.

I literally had to draw it out on my white board to visualize the swap lol...and a big part of my career is virtual spatial awareness and optimization hahaha.

Oh well, learn and move on. I'm sure there's a master cylinder and possible abs lesson coming up too

PO installed a Pioneer unit with Nav and Bluetooth in the hoemare.
I love it.

Wife wants one for her car.
So, she got a subscription to XM radio while she waits for me to sort the hoemare.

Sirius XM also has an app for your phone that works with Apple Carplay (and probably Android Auto) so you could install the sat receiver or not. My daughter's car has a receiver which she uses and I maintain the Sirius XM subscription for that, but I listen to BBC, Fox News, or Willy's Roadhouse in whatever car I am in which don't have a Sirius XM receiver.

I drove 447 miles to Cleveland and back for a funeral. Often driving 80-85 MPH. The DIC calculated 15.1 Avg MPG, but my true average was 16.8 MPG. 447 Miles burned 26.6 Gallons. Four people in the car and luggage.
Average outside temperature was 24-28 F. The trans temp averaged 113F which I think is too low? My Explorer had an internal trans thermostat and I think it would have stayed 155-160F.

Should be it. I highly recommend the Tekonsha P3, it's an excellent brake controller.

Have you watched the installation videos on eTrailer? Go on the site and enter your year, make, and model, then select the Brake Controller category. Scroll way down to the bottom where the installation videos are and have at it.

Fixed the cooling temp indication/engine hot message problem this morning. It was the sensor. Put a new one in and drove it for a mile with the gauge still not moving + engine hot message on the display and cooling fans running full speed. As the engine warmed up, the new sensor must have crossed a point where the computer decided it could trust it again, and everything returned to normal. The gauge shot up to about 1/3 on the scale, and continued indicating normally from there. The message went away and the fans shut off. Boom! I love easy fixes.

Where is the sensor located?

Wife really enjoys the subscription, and the more I use her car the more I like it.
I do have the app setup on my phone, but I like how actual XM works when there is no service.

One of the main reasons for the Tahoe was for my outdoor activities.
And being in a mountain state, cell service is spotty at best.

Usually, I just rely on Amazon Offline music, just ensuring that I refresh the licenses and stuff before i head out.
One time not doing that bit me right in the butt.
One quiet drive, and no CD's on hand.

My radio is supposed to be XM ready, but it requires an extra module.

Where is the sensor located?

It's at the very front of the outside of the driver's side cylinder head. Easy to get to, and you can use either a 19mm combination wrench or a 19mm deep well socket to get it out.

Got the JVC KWZ1000 installed yesterday with the PAC RP5GM32 harness. Works great compared to the tesla screen I was trying to make work

I had to replace mine not long ago as well. I'm happy it was just the sensor and not something major.

How about a profile shot? How far does that thing stick out? Does it block the AC vents or fog up from them cooling the plastic down?

Guess I'll keep bitching about my USB-C to 3.5mm cable.

Ill see if I can get one. Its about 1.5" at base of the screen. I mounted it deeper into the dash to clear the shifter but its really close when in Drive. You can shift the screen up & down too as it mounts to the unit along with tilting back & forward. I started a basic install thread in the Audio section too

I'm all f'd up. Been so long since I drove her I got to get used to her again. They dropped it off this morning at my job and I ran out to lunch and man did I miss my baby and her ride! My back feels instantly better. We will be getting some quality time together after I get out of this prison of a job tonight. Going to fill her belly and give her a nice clean wash.

Don't forget to polish the tailpipe while you're at it
