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

    I did put on a new set of Michelins ( from Costco ) $1100 Will be getting $200 of it back as the tire sensors they installed will not link up with my vehicle computer so no need to have them on there. I am old school and keep a tire pressure gauge in the glove box.

    I opted out of shock replacement. had a few friends who are pretty knowledgable car mechanics inspect everything with me and said no need to replace either of the serpentine or AC belt and the shocks that are on their now are still in exc working condition. We did do a replacement of all...

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

    I am more concerned putting the best quality shock on my vehicle than saving 5-10 dollars I appreciate all the info, but honestly the more I read the more confused I am getting. My biggest fear is ordering a set that will just not fit and that royally ***** me and wastes alot of time 2nd...

    Yes trailer will be loaded with a few things, total weight with trailer will be 6000 lbs ( below rated tow capacity ) Thank you for the info on those shocks being low rated aftermarket and not OEM quality. Would GMpartscenter.net be a place that would sell me the Gold / Prof shocks or where...

    I hope every one had a great Thanksgiving ! I have been away awhile. Have a shock replacement question: 2007 GMC Yukon SLE 5.3 Flex fuel I need to replace the original ( 77K miles ) rear shocks. The OEM ones are pictured as are the heavy duty ones. I never tow anything, but will be towing a 20...

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

    I can see how that selected option would enhance driving / towing around town. Once I am on open freeway driving hundreds of miles on flat interstate, would it be a good or bad idea to turn off the trailering button and just use normal transmission for greater fuel economy ?

    VR4 is the only code on my sheet of the 4 codes you listed Thanks for the help

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

    Yea neither of those 2 codes are listed on the glove box dealio sticker. So I would think it is safe to assume my Yukon does NOT have a factory tow package. So that stated, chances are slim it has an oversized xmission cooler or anything similar I am guessing.

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

    How would I know or find out if my 2007 Yukon has a factory tow package? I am researching brake controllers and I guess this is needed info. I know enough about towing a trailer to be dangerous. I have my VIN 1gkfk13047j283176 of course I have a tow hitch and wiring harness plug on the...

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

    Is this all I need to set up my rig with trailer brakes ? I have done a ton of real world commercial / industrial electrician work. I am guessing I can plug in and mount this mickey mouse doo dad in my '07 Yukon to prep it to haul a 20 foot enclosed cargo trailer next year. Seems to be a...

    Looking into brake pad replacement for my Yukon ( 2007 4WD ) Has original brakes still on it ( just 75K miles ) Heard a slight grind noise the 1st time yesterday on braking from the front right side, was slow near stop speed so that is why I heard it so easily. What is the best reccommended...

    just got a 99 escalade and can’t find much info on it

    Nice looking rig for a 22yo vehicle ! And welcome to the forum. Read that you plan to trade it in after another 30K miles ? You must like paying sales tax more than me, as I keep vehicles routinely for a min of 10-15yrs and currently working on upping that to 20-25yrs with the Yukon I bought...

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

    I still have a like new Makita original set in the blue plastic case in my garage. They had the real tall skinny batteries ( I think like 9.8v or something ) Then Dewalt came out with the 14v models and the Makita 9v became extinct like dinosaurs. I could never bring myself to put mine for sale...

    Anyone done a MSRP swap because of a Lemon?

    I did Lemon Law in WA state back in 1993 on a Dodge Cummins diesel 3/4 ton pickup truck. Entire process took about 8-10 months if I recall correctly. They ( Chrysler ) had to buy back my truck and I got back 100% of sales tax I paid ( close to $2K ) truck was $24K brand new plus tax title...

    Yea the only good thing about the I-5 bridge connecting Vancouver WA and Portland OR is the Columbia river beneath it ! Caught this beauty a few years ago in the Columbia river. Caught it next to the Ilwaco- Astoria bridge over the river ( closer to the pacific ocean than the I-5 bridge ) about...
