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

[j91z28d1]

Auxillary transmission cooler:

Approx cost for parts and labor to have this installed on my 2007 Yukon.

My cross country tow is coming up and I am getting antsy and wandering if this add on is needed onto my 2007 Yukon?

Here is the tow sheet stats for my VIN rig:

I have installed a Tekonsha brake controller and an Equalizer WDH to assist.

20 foot tandem axle 2021 cargo trailer - dual 3500lb axels exc condition trlr.
empty trailer weight is 3000lbs - will load approx 4000lbs into it.

just 1 person ( me ) in tow vehicle.

If I stop multiple times to allow xmission to cool down can I skip the auxillary cooler?

I have to go over both cascade mtn pass and Rocky mtns 2500 mi tow.

I can take my time and just drive 8 hours a day or less if it helps my tow rig

there's a 20 something page tranny cooler thread that's worth a read thru.

other than that, I'm no help since mines a hybrid lol. which seem to have crazy cooling stuff.

 

[j91z28d1]

That’s only because YOU know where the spot is. Lol

this is true.. it's on the top surface of a light blue car and it kills me. I know no one else even notices but I can't not see it haha.

Keeping coolant and transmission temps under control when towing in the summer heat

Hi All, the 2012 XL Denali is a towing beast, but after the cam upgrade, new HD torque converter, and adding the Tru-Cool 40K in front of the radiator, the engine itself is running warm now that we're getting into spring. Hauled our 6500 lb camper down to Virginia Beach this weekend in 83º...

Drove her about 1500 miles over the course of 3 days last week and got about 16 mpg whilst doing so. Overall, can't complain. With that said, I think the wheel hub assemblies I just put in 6 months ago are on their way out again! I always buy top quality hubs but yet it's still a complete crap shoot on if they'll last or not. Really ****** me off!!

"Work perk" rental unit. Since I have to drive around in this thing I added vent visors and 5% rear tint.

Does Pa not allow you to tint the side windows, too?

Yeah I hate driving this yellow banana. Sticks out like a sore dck.

I can't do the sides because I can't see at night or in the rain with it. Old fck.

I've found that you can see best at might out of the very expensive cermic tint better than cheaper tint and even the clear cermic takes the edge off in the sun. I have all my front windshield done with the clear.

probably not worth the money in a temp work truck thou.

 

[the_tool_man]

Did any of the metal connectors rip off of the old wires?

Nope. 148k miles, and from what I can tell, all original.

 

[the_tool_man]

Vice grips?

I did have to use my needle nose vise grips to wiggle the spark plug socket off one of the new plugs after tightening. Otherwise, I got everything done with a 3/8 drive ratchet and extensions.

 

[the_tool_man]

I re soldered the connections and re-installed the TPS on WOT. Started up and ran fine. Still took it back down to the shop to have their computer take a look at things. Still afraid to drive it just because of this random revolving limp mode crap. I'm hoping to hell my last efforts here were not in vain.

Looks like Solder Stick splices. You like them?

Yes they are great as long as you have enough wire to slide them down past the connection.. I use a heat gun. Need to order more actually.

Check out LT Tolman on YT. They sponsor him. He has a discount code if you order direct from SS. I see you ordered from Amazon. I haven't compared prices. Just sharing an option.

How do you think it compares to the old school soldering and heat shrink method as far as connection quality and standing the test of time?

I would say it's comparable. Certainly much easier. And it has the waterproofing seals built into it. I am sure you will be hooked once you use them and get used to installing them. It's the tight corners/spaces where this is tough to use. That's why I like that small heat gun I posted that I came across with the deflector shield. That is added to my wish list.

But ya can’t beat it…….
