    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    It was well past broke in. The tranny was acting up, the A/C compressor was shot, airbag light on, ride control didn't work, tires were bald, and about once every 2 or 3 weeks it wouldn't start. After I bought it I was playing with the radio at the dealer when the salesman went to move the...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    It wasn't today, but yesterday. I hope that still counts. I traded my 05 Denali XL in. It had 147,000 on it and needed a lot of work. I jumped ship and bought a new Ram 1500 Quad Cab Outdoorsman. I"m 42 and this is my first vehicle that isn't a GM. I still can't believe I bought a Mopar, but it...

    Replacement Ignition Key

    There's no chip in the key, so any place that makes keys should be able to make one.

    iPod Hook up installation

    Here is a little write up I did for mine. If you have XM this is a super easy install. If you are just going to use an ipod you wouldn't need to put in the Aux input. I got it from ipodcarpros.com http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=404782&postcount=12 The full thread is...

    Someone 'splain to me the point of dangling cajones from a truck....

    I worked with a guy that had them on his truck. He also had a small set hanging from the adjuster on his hard hat. I looked at them and thought "just what I want... a pair of balls slapping me in the back of the head all day." Anybody remember Seymour Butts? Now that was something cool to have...

    Sticky Throttle

    I've had 2 5.3's that the throttle was sticking closed. If you take the intake tube off the throttle body you can probably see a buildup of gunk where the throttle plate meets the throttle body. I just sprayed cleaner into the throttle body and they worked just fine after.

    Throttle Body Hard Start

    Both my 00 Silverado and 01 Suburban had throttles were sticking closed. I just sprayed something like carb cleaner for fuel injected systems (throttle body cleaner maybe) in there to clean off the buildup of gunk. They worked great after. I don't remember them starting hard after I sprayed...

    Towing/Mileage concerns for '02-'06 Yukon?

    Tow package is a must. In addition it adds a stiffer suspension. When I first got my camper I had a 2000 2wd Silverado that didn't have the tow package. Talk about scary. That thing was all over the place. My 01 Suburban had 242,000 on it when I traded. No motor or tranny problems. The 05 Denail...

    In the market and have questions

    I have a Trail Bay 27DS camper that is about 30' overall length. The tag on it says it weighs 5050 lbs. without options (A/C, spare tire, full propane tanks, etc.). I live in it when I'm working so it's packed full of crap and I have 2 extra propane tanks. I have an 05 Denali XL and it pulls it...

    Towing Question

    Nice video. I have had a Prodigy contoller for 5 or 6 years and really like it. I found this site that gives the states towing regulations. http://www.towingworld.com/articles/TowingLaws.htm There's a few states that allow people to ride in a travel trailer. That's just stupid. Some require...

    loss of mpg's due to winter blend gas

    I usually go from around 16 mpg in the summer to about 14mpg in the winter with my 05 Denali XL. The reasons for this are that the winter blend gas isn't as efficient, it takes longer for the engine to warm up, and I let it idle a lot more during cold weather. That's my opinion anyway.

    Towing Question

    You will need to get a brake controller. You can get adapters for them that will just plug into the truck below the dash on the drivers side. If it only weighs a couple thousand pounds you might be alright without brakes. If your not experienced at pulling a trailer though I would definately put...

    What all do you have ILLEGAL on your hoe/kon?

    I was going to go off on this guy when I read his post, but I saw his age and was hoping it was a bad attempt at being funny or sarcastic. If he actually did steal this stuff then I hope since he is dumb enough to put it on here he gets busted. :Shit Eater:You don't **** with other people's cars.

    Help...

    So I got the pictures in the right place, but how do you do it so they show up bigger without having to click on them (like in the pic of jplinville's radio)?

    Help...

    Hope this turns out alright. I've never posted anything this involved before. First you will need to open the glove box all the way. There is a tab on the right side that holds it up. Just pull the side in a bit and that tab will clear the dash. Unplug the connector from the XM unit. There is a...
