Better than expected.! She’s running very rich, so I expect it to improve once the tune is nailed down. Currently getting about 13mpg stop and go.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Driving it normally? You're getting better mileage then me.
Yeah, driving it, and trying not to have too heavy a right foot. Lol. So all stop and go, no highway, and very inconsistent. Just quick around town trips.. with the AC cranked in the 100°+ heat. Lol.

Be careful if there's no torque management. That's how my rear blew lol. I was having too much fun.

There is a specialty shop near me in Oxford, CT, if you ever want to go that route...
They do injectors for racing and all kinds of special applications.
They are well known, have quick turn-arounds (1-2 days) and have a great reputation.
Send them your injectors and they send them back all done, balanced and ready to go for about $26 each.

Tuesday was hub day...
SKF (Moog) replacement from NAPA.
I decided to pull the front axle shaft, because I could not move it back out of the way far enough. I did not want to be banging on the CV boot or damage anything with the BFH.
On the other hub I did in May, I bought a set of new bolts and used the old ones to beat the hub out of the knuckle. I kept the old bolts for use on the driver's side. Worked great! Popped the hub out with a few taps!
I scrubbed and painted the knuckle and dust shield while I was in there.
I applied anti-seize the knuckle in case I ever have to do them again. These were the higher-quality hubs, so I think I should be set for a while. At least the next guy will be able to pull the hub out easily...
I'll ask you to squint a little and pretend you don't see how crusty the brake hose connector is at the caliper. That is on my to-do list.
I left the caliper and pads attached to the carrier and removed the entire carrier. I did not touch the brakes in the process and was able to slip it back on without having to compress the pistons. That sped the process up.

New wheels & tires for *winter: factory Z71 18" gunmetal wheels wrapped in TOYO Open Country AT3 LT285/65R18.
No rubbing either.
* I live in Northern Comifornia, so summer vs winter is barely distinguishable. But I travel to Tahoe in winter, and it's snowy there in January.

Went ahead and did an oil change. I run 4K between oil changes. The Blackstone Lab report will follow shortly.

Haven't had much progress on my Tahoe lately, just did a few services at the shop for maintenance. I have a new front bumper and bumper cap, waiting on the rear bumper currently, and then ordering the HD hood. Once I have all the parts I'll be saving for the rest of the body to get repainted and repair all dents/scratches.
Just some eye candy for the time being

I haven’t done sh*t to mine lately, just using it to haul building materials for my patio roof project. Just hauled (24) 2’ x 8’ grey polycarbonate roofing panels yesterday. Yay.
Exact same brand and type of tire I installed on my Tahoe. Absolutely love them.

My battery took a dump. No crank this morning. Dash flickering like crazy. Going to pull it out this weekend and warranty it out. I'm surprised it's done cause battery just about 18 months old.
What brand? Just so I know to stay away. My last one was a Duracell from Batteries Plus and lasted 4 years until I swapped it out for maintenance. I’m running an Interstate AGM now in both trucks, I have heard good things about them.

It's a duralast gold from autozone. Johnson controls makes them, now known as Clarios. I'm surprised as well. Mind u I haven't taken it for a load test but it cranked with Jump box and instrument cluster jittery. Alternator and bath were both replaced last year around March when I was having no crank issues intermittently. My battery light was on and the old alternator went bad and took the battery out as well. What's weird is no symptoms at all except for yesterday morning I could tell the started dragged a bit. I will update if I discover what may have damaged battery. I have no aftermarket accessories on truck. Nothing at all.
Washed it, now me and the dog are hangin out on the front deck in the cool shade. Next week it’s heating up here- 100 for a few days.
