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

[Geotrash]

Maybe find it a new home with one of your cohorts here.

You interested, Paw Paw?

Having a stick does reduce the chance of theft - how many of the less mature crowd can drive a stick these days...

I've been told by a few people that I act less mature

And I can drive stick

Lol

I can confirm that this is a good idea, except for one thing: I had a single cab '81 GMC Sierra 1500 in high school, but it had a cap on the back of it. That and a $10 air mattress made for lots of good times in the summer.

I'm one of those guys who lives in quiet fear that the increasing commonality of DNA testing for genealogy reasons will turn up that I have actually have a kid somewhere else. Lol. The risk is low though because if I'd ever known about it, I would have done all I could to support them.

I have done both 23&me and Ancestory, nothing has cropped yet but my known ones lol, fingers crossed because there very well could be a unknown brood out there. I certainly seeded a few, or more than a few it was a bad habit....

on my silverado it reads 2.12lb/s at 2000rpm, on the yukon it reads 2.45lb/s at 2000rpm

Don't know the conversions, but here's a few pics of mine "close" to 2000rpm at a couple different speeds.

MAF reading is bottom left on DIC

It's raising an eyebrow. Don't really need a longer truck though. Keep us updated what your plans are.

growing up pretty much everything we had was a stick and I drove stick for years, seems like 2nd nature to me. they are scarce anymore though

Thankfully, I had a grandparent that made sure (if I wanted to drive) I learned how and have owned my fair share of sticks. Hell, got 1 in the garage now just to keep me honest!

when i revved mine to 2300k and had the tech2 connected it only showed 27grams, way less than yours, barometric reads correct, map sensor reads correct
but that was not under a load

is intake manifold pressure difference than map sensor? cause they have different readings. I thought there was just one map and a baro

I dont know off hand I just see they are reading what they should based on my sea level, I "think" baro is calculated by the map sensor could be wrong

 

[Doubeleive]

with the key on the reading to the ecu without actual vacuum is barometric and that determines air/fuel mixture, that is calculated by the map sensor

In my youth, only one vehicle was an automatic.
Everything else was a manual trans.
I still prefer to row through the gears.
Makes me feel more connected to the machine.

I have a CDL so I've driven 13 speeds, 18 speeds, 5 & 2s and all sorts of weird things with brownie boxes.
But, it's been decades since I've driven one so it would take a little to get the groove again.

I don't have a CDL but I have driven some of the big trucks around in the past mostly out of a need to move equipment and not having anyone else to do it. Takes a little concentration at first, once you have a little speed going you can switch to regular shifting. Thing that seemed to take the most practice is a center pivot loader, pita things!
and your not having fun until you load a tractor on a flatbed with no ramps lol

 

[Doubeleive]

easy enough to do though

It’s like riding a bike, it comes back to you.

When you got it, use it. I am a proficient CDL and equipment operator. It’s in the blood.

used to be like that, as some point they added a stand alone baro sensor in the air box. probably still blend data, but I'm pretty sure I have a baro sensor in the air box itself

i drove a flatbed & backhoe like that all over washington state about 17/18 years old doing landscaping, planting tree's, rock gardens, you name it
that was a cake job until a co-worker (so-called "friend") lied and told the box I was trying to bang his daughter, as cute as she was I had other interest's lol (the preachers daughter) lol

Finally had time over the weekend to give the '07 a fresh ceramic spray wax. I use Griot's Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax, and it's pretty good. The water beads on the finish for 6 months or more afterwards. She cleans up well for 17 years and 247K miles. She spent most of her life in Arizona, so that helps. Not a spot of rust anywhere, and the frame and suspension still look new. Not having a commute and it never seeing snow or salty roads, also helps.

Now the dilemma: We have that new addition to the fleet: a 2018 Suburban 3500 HD, which means we now have THREE of these big beasts. Our son is 16 and working on his license, but isn't particularly thrilled about driving such a big vehicle. My wife likes the idea because she knows it's safe. It's not worth much to sell either. So, do we keep it? Do we try to trade someone for something smaller? Or do we sell it and buy something like a RAV4 for the kids?

I have so much time and love invested in this thing, and it's in tip-top shape such that I would drive it to Alaska tomorrow, without hesitating. My heart says keep it and hand it to our son. My only hesitation with that is he's not a car guy, isn't particularly thrilled about driving to begin with, half-asses things when he doesn't feel like doing them (all normal teenager stuff), so I worry that he won't take the kind of care of it that I have.

Oofta. Might just need to practice radical acceptance here. Lol.

Rent it out on Turo.

Bizzaro sh*t, new maf installed, fuel pressure is high, misfires under a load only, even revving to 5500 in neutral no misfires at all
