What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[the 18th letter]

Got about 150 miles in on my BB tune and it’s a sleeper. Throttle response on highways or accelerating is very noticeable. In my city driving I’ve noticed that the transmission is less jumpy. I also have a 92oct tune I’m gonna give a try but have no idea what it’s for lol. I don’t tow or race but since I’ve got it I’m gonna use it. Probably when I do my E85 fill ups.

Got the second (of three) checks for my totaled 2016 Tahoe. (Third check pending the title getting to the insurance company so they can sell it as salvage.)

Someone pulling out of their driveway looked left, looked right, and then didn't look left again. I was going about 5mph, they managed to total my Tahoe with about 8 feet of room to accelerate from their driveway. Drove their center-mounted license plate directly into my front right tire and pushed me a few feet to left as I came to a stop. Electric cars are fast, and heavy!

Would need doors, a fender & liner, running board, body straightened from A through C pillar and a crapload of paint work. No airbags blew. Given crazy post-covid collision math that's enough to total this out.

in general terms that looks like a really easy fix, 2 door skins, a quarter panel, running board, paint.

That was all the initial estimate, about $7,000, listed as required repairs. Insurance company authorized an additional few hours to take it apart and look for add'l damage.

On teardown they found that the body was bent from the A pillar all the way to the C pillar. Straightening or cutting/welding a replacement in added enough cost to total the Tahoe.

Custom fabricated tube bumper on the rig

Custom fabricated tube bumper on the rig

That looks great!
How's the wind noise with that front end? I'm sure mileage drops a little too. But who really cares, it's probably great for it's purpose and looks good.

I actually get a slight humming from my Thule crossbars past 60-65mph. Since the addition of the front bumper, I haven't noticed anything aside from the existing cross a bar hum.

I live in the city and am running 295/70... so I average about 10-12mpg

Installed grille inserts on my 2016 Yukon. Waiting on mud flaps to arrive.

Anyone tried to change one of these little bastard lids before? Ya we'll have fun with that..... The tool does not work, I got it out about a 1/4" then had to go in from the back and cut it out, then had to pound the cigarette plug back in until it was flush again the metal part is supposed to pull out then the plastic shroud is removable,but nooooo got it done though

I was able to get mine out of the rear of the center console without too much issue. It's a spare I don't plan to use now, you don't need a replacement do you? lol

I already replaced it, the old one had a broken lid, fought me both ways lol
the metal part is supposed to just pull out with the tool, but would only come out about a 1/4, so I had to pull the console out and cut the plastic shroud out from the backside
the new plastic shroud with the flip lid popped right in no problem, the metal part then had to be pressed in and I didn't really have the tool do that so I used the rubber end of a very large screw driver and hit it in until it was flush again, I managed to do it without damaging the plastic console which would probably have been $100+ (used) to replace
$9 (oem) part but was not exactly "easy" like it should have been.
luckily getting the console out is only 2 screws and pop-clips

@ss4chad i would highly reconsider the cross drilled and slotted rotors. While they are great at shedding head, they warp incredibly easy and can chew through brake pads. Which is fine in a race setting where they are replaced every race, on a DD, not so ideal. if you are looking for something with better heat dissipation i would go with just dimpled rotors, they are massive improvement over stock in terms of heat dissipation, without sacrificing rotor strength and pad life

Thanks but I will stick with the setup that I have on the Yukon as well as my '13 Sierra and my '02 Camaro and three other trucks and two other cars I've had over the years.
The cross drilled holes in the rotors dissipate heat faster and more efficiently than a solid rotor, the slots in the rotors remove material from the pads and discards it keeping it from glazing the rotors for a longer period of time, unlike a solid rotor.
My wife drives the Bus (Yukon XL) like a Honda Civic, its drag race for her from light to light, says she hates it when the little cars get in front of her!!
Damm Woman, 20 ft ahead of you ain't gonna kill ya!!

Putting good brakes on the Yukon for her and the kids is a good idea, yeah they look cool too but very few people say 'Wow, nice brake rotors!' But they do compliment the new wheels, pics are coming soon!

Hopefully getting it back from transmission shop with Circle D TC installed today. Brakes next month.

Last night after a nice evening out filled with spirits and a ride home with my lady writing bedroom checks on the way home, I didn’t put the Yukon in the garage and left sunroof tilted and of course it rained like hell. Not too bad inside considering the water that came down last night. Leads me to wonder can BB can program the sunroof to close when you turn the car off?

I'm going to say no, they don't do anything involving the bcm @BlackBearPerf

Think a modification to the bcm to do it would be feasible? I went 2 years without getting wet and have hopefully learned my lesson but still wondering cause shit happens. To me, at least lol

 

[gtrslngrchris]

Took my door card off to replace the driver window regulator (I had expertly diagnosed a stuck regulator based on previous experience and absolutely zero investigating) only to discover that it was just the stupid foam block that had detached from the door skin and was blocking the glass halfway down. I looked around for awhile to see what I could re-adhere it with and ended up just putting a line of black RTV on it and squished it into the door skin. I guess I have a new regulator for whenever this one eventually dies...

maybe with a autosync, look that up, they offer custom programming
