So, I'm about to do a thing. . .
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Yes, these are 6112s. Man these things make the originals look like toothpicks!

Setting three (2.2" lift on this application) to level the front with the rear.

Finished! And looks like setting 3 was the right choice to level the front with the OEM rear setup

My first time to change the oil on the [new to me] Tahoe. I put these Fumoto valves on every vehicle I own. I've been using them for 10 years without any trouble whatsoever. I absolutely love them.

Is that the oil drain plug? Makes it easier to drain?

Yes.
It makes life easier in two ways:
1. It prevents me from having to use a socket wrench to drain the oil (which eliminates me having to clean oil out of my socket, off my wrench, and off my arm).
2. If I wish, I can drain most of the oil directly into a disposable container (instead of an oil catch basin) by using a bit of flex tubing.

Dropped the Tahoe off to get 4 new Michelin's, alignment, and state inspection. Gotta get it ready for a trip to Ohio in July!
bought new brake pads. the RAYBESTOS E3 just didn't work at all for my application. to much initial bite. probably be great on a normal truck, to much going on with the regen and stuff in these.
stopped by a dealer, original pads completely discontinued, lists normal pads for the front and nothing listed as usable for the rear. plus 400$ for pads is crazy if they even had them.
trying some super quiet warner brand another hybrid did well with. we shall see.

I have not installed one on the Yukon yet but all my other cars have had them, except for the one that is slightly lowered and there is no cover protecting the drain plug area.
And, with the angle of the plug, if I put a Fumoto on there it would stick out even lower and I am afraid it would be knocked off by road debris.
Ok I have been having an issue with a bottoming out in the rear with the 5" springs after they settled for about a week. Only at a few choice dips I got to hit is when this happens. I was not able to find ANY visual evidence of contact at the suspected locations:
Panhard mount to frame
swaybar to panhard
axle to frame (free travel mod done)
axle pumpkin to cross member
So I figured it had to be the factory shocks bottoming out. I ordered the 2410FF belltech shocks and put them on this weekend. Huge improvement in the ride, but I still feel a bottoming out at the usual suspect dips. This is driving me nuts.
Ok I got a post here that is blocked and needs to be approved by a moderator for some reason. @07Burb @Fless @Miami-Dade @NathanJax @soulsea

thinkin that was from a fight with the free travel mod
mine hit the bump stops and then the axle side panhard bar mount, both those pics in yours looks fine, you sure the springs are seated in the top and stuff like that?

correct, I will clean that up later
springs are perfectly set in place with the isolators
