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

[Rocket Man]

Right, but, at some point, all the wheels end up being ran in both directions. My point was that the sensors shouldn't be skitzing out over this. I've driven backward plenty fast enough and for long enough to know.

I double-check on unfamiliar cars. But generally, it's "cross the non-driven wheels".

WOT in reverse?

WOT in reverse?

Don't be jelly of my RWD freedumb.



The sounds I imagine yours made still make me cringe.

WOT in reverse?

Many, many years ago just out of high school my best friend bought a '87 or '88 Mustang GT with the 5 speed and 3.08 gears in the rear (I had a new '89 Mustang GT at the time) and we were out messing around in a parking lot one night and that dumbass dumped the clutch in reverse. The reverse gear in these T5's at the time were 3.35 ratio, so pretty stout. Needless to say, the car started hopping up and down then a big BANG and trans fluid running out from underneath. We looked and there were gears sticking out the side of the trans housing. Needless to say he needed a tow truck and a new trans.

Flooring it in reverse was enough to smoke the tires. I don't know what he was thinking when dumping the clutch in reverse

I did that once. Backed out of the driveway when I was like 16. Turned it up and ready to dump it, noticed a car coming. Hurried up and pulled back in the driveway to let the car pass. Repeat reverse and in my hast, never pulled it from reverse to 2nd. Let er rip....needless to say, that was an experience I wasn't expecting. I still laugh at myself for that. Fortunately, nothing broke. Just an embarrassing experience

I couldn’t hear it break over the sound of the headers when I was in reverse but as soon as I screamed at the idiot who threw the stuff at me and put in in forward the sound of the broken front axle flopping was bad and I had to keep driving because he had friends that were walking towards us. Nothing worse that screaming at a dude with the expectation that you were going to punch it and drive away quickly only to find out you just broke your escape route.

What is a P219A code? I'm just cruising down the highway @ 75mph and this came on.

Is it time to retorque the intake manifold bolts?

Then all your sensors are in for a treat cuz swapping sides is part of the proper tire rotation pattern, according to the manual. Or do you just do fronts and backs on the same sides?

So I found part of the problem. I’ll have to fully break the tire down now to find the other piece.

If it survived being tumbled, and if you can find the screw, use blue Loctite when reassembling.

Oops. Was it new?

I got the part and the screw out and out a put a new sensor in and the relearn went like clockwork so all good now.

It was last June. I could have bumped it remounting the tire. I'm not the Cinderella dancer I used to be. All good for now though. I bought a full set of sensors so I have some spares now if I need them.

Glad you found it. One would assume the sensor was there and dead not awol inside the tire.

Pro pro tip: clean the old leather with Foaming Bubbles Bathroom Cleaner and a stiff brush, the Seat Shop has a video on it. And a steam cleaner with an added rubber hose on the end inserted into the area where the wrinkles are and shot with a few puffs will fluff up the foam more and no more wrinkles. Don’t hit it too hard with steam though or the cover will get damaged. I did all new Katzkins in my Silverado and the steamer was a must.

Thanks for this. Going to give it a try on the rest of the seats on Monday.

A new, quality drivers seat foam and new leather cover are the best upgrades I’ve made to this thing. It feels like a new truck.

Finally rotated the tires, saw the rear diff cover is wet, so I guess I need to look into that.
Did a bit of driving and finally rolled over 170k.

Cleaned throttle body and MAF at 247k miles. Last cleaned around 150k and didn't remove throttle last time. I did open the flap a bit to fit toothbrush for cleaning but no relearn process needed.

doesn't look too bad I saw one once with about a 1/4" of caked on carbon it was unbelievable but also in the junkyard lol

I gotta capture mine next time I go over to get fireworks and hit about 8600ft, 4 hr drive each way
that's also where we go up to the snow and play the road is closed a couple miles past there until the snow melts
Beautiful country up there
"Ebbetts Pass is one of the least traveled passes in the Sierra Nevada. A 23-mile stretch between Lake Alpine and Centerville Flat is less than two lanes, and lacks a dividing line between them.[9] It has very steep sections with hairpin corners.[10] The eastern slope is particularly difficult, as many of the hairpin corners are blind, and steepen suddenly at the apex, making it necessary to shift to first gear in most vehicles. It is rarely used by commercial traffic and is not recommended for vehicles towing long trailers.[11] Furthermore, the pass usually closes during the winter months, often from November through as late as May"

this is only at about 4000ft and the snow is anywhere from 8-16ft deep

You drive 8hrs to buy fireworks?

This is what happens when you live in a communist state

P.S.
When I forget how huge your sig pic actually is until I use my PC to jump on here. lol

unfortunately that is the closest place to get anything decent and not get arrested in the process

 

[Geoffsfas10]

Plastidipped the 'TAHOE' badges on the doors, wanted to see if I'd like it enough to order some proper black emblems, and Ive decided that black emblems are in the future. The good news is the dip was having a hard time sticking with the ceramic coating on it haha. also painters tape didnt want to stick either.

Plus there it is with the 20% over stock rear tint, kinda wish i had went darker but its done now haha

 

[Doubeleive]

Drove it to go get pizza.
