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

[89Suburban]

Ours have holograms that the cops can scan as you drive by them.

Just got back from a 10 day, 1700 mile road trip with my family. Yukon ran great and we wrapped up the trip with a visit to Oceano Dunes.

It had been about 16 years since my last visit and my first time with a 2WD vehicle. With 15 lbs in each tire we went everywhere.

When we were ripping around I asked my kids if they were having fun, my son yelled back, “This is more than fun!”

I will share a video later this week.

Those pics are awesome.

1. ESV rack, painted caps with AutomotiveTouchup - probably the easiest painting I've ever done.
2. Hybrid tails - no wiring modifications necessary, but don't look too closely at the bumper. I'm going to go back to the PYP yard for the glass as the regular glass rubs on the sides.

Had no idea the hybrids ran different tails

I hate that I can't do this in this state...

Why can't you?

What's the prognosis?

~65%. I figured 64% based on the MPG and my sensor is reporting 63%. It's consistently about 2% lower than the test tube test. Plenty accurate for me and WAY better than the ~40 points low it calculated with the virtual sensor.

Hybrid has a fixed glass.

This is exactly what I do with our registration stickers to make sure I get it aligned properly.

I like it right where it is and once it touches the glass, it sticks. I gotta have some way to get it just right cuz I might have windshield tint one day and I'd need a cutout for the sticker.

Hmm... Something I will have to check next time I go to the PYP.

Edit: I checked the photos of the vehicle in question. Definitely no handle. I'll have to pull it apart to see how it goes together.

The rear hatch is aluminum and the glass is glued to the frame kinda like how the windshield is. If you're gonna keep your Hybrid appliques, you might be able to shave the sides of the glass. Or modify the mounting points of the appliques to sit a little wider. Maybe reshape them by softening with a heat gun?

Thanks for pointing that out. It's not a major rub fortunately, but the top plastic trim is visually noticeable. I'll come up with a plan when I visit the yard again.

@89Suburban when I needed to "acquire" an inspection sticker for my Hoe--what works best to peel off the sticker is starter fluid or brake clean spray with a sharp razor blade--going slowly. The Jersey stickers have those metallic looking sticker onnthe bottom of the paper sticker that'll say "void" if it gets damaged. Works every time.

no clue if it helps you, but the hybrid yukon had the lift glass. (probably the Escalade too) why, I don't know cause I can't imagine ever using it when the hatch is power lift.

That's good for a winter blend!

Neither am I. lol

My Tahoe Twin buddy gets these stickers from someone. They're just really good knock-offs. My Tahoe would pass inspection with flying colors if it weren't for the tint. I had an inspection station that ignored the tint but he got busted a few years ago for doing that. So, I've been rocking these stickers since. Driving only 6-7K a year, I'll take my chances. In contrast, my work van, that's on the road 60K a year, has the sticker it left the dealership with in 2020, which expired in November of 21. Around here, cops aren't gonna risk getting shot over an expired MVI sticker.

It seems to be all we have here. We don't get the seasonal blends of any fuels- it's the same year-round. I've never seen any true 85% ethanol fuel at any pumps. Ever since I've been monitoring it, it has always been mid-60s percentiles.

That is a great picture.

I just uploaded the video of my recent trip to the Oceano Dunes on my YouTube channel and wanted to share it with y'all. Hope you enjoy!
