    Hiro's 2010 Yukon Build (Betty White)

    Update on Taillights: They are junk. First Rainfall there is moisture inside the light...Typical Cheap Chinese knockoffs. Guess I'll hit the junkyards for OEMs like I shoulda done.

    Anti seize on spark plugs?

    I've used it on my Alum Head 383 per Blueprint. I just used the silver speed stick. No issues yet but its only been 2 years. I havent done it with the yukon yet because I havent gotten around to doing the plugs but I will also be using the Speed Stick. My rule of thumb is tight then hmph tighter

    Looking at a winter-beater.

    I agree. 4l60E IMO they are perfectly fine for a stock application.

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

    Finally got around to installing the Denali Roof Rack. Looks much better than the other one.

    Finally was warm enough to get the Denali roof rack on. Also swapped over to its 4th set of taillights. Stock Tahoes with Lasfit LeDs. Load resistors on bottom for turns.

    Best headlight bulbs for stock Yukon halogen housings

    Tahoe Peeps have it so easy....

    Best headlight bulbs for stock Yukon halogen housings

    Not really since the Yukon would need a BiXenon type HID Bulb to retain Highbeams. Most companies slap that Halogen portion ontop/bottom depending on how the bulb clips in and that can throw off the light spread to the reflector. But again its minor and only really results in more glare while...

    Best headlight bulbs for stock Yukon halogen housings

    The problem with HID and LEDs is that the housing isnt made for those. HIDs Thrive in Projector Housings and LEDs need a special reflector design to maximize the beam. You loose a lot of useable light due to glare. Are they brighter? Yeah. But not optimized.

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

    The PO i bought it off of said it recently had the brakes serviced but I dont think they did a good enough ABS flush. The pedal is still a bit squishy. So once it gets warmer I'll do a better flush. Looks like all the lines were replaced at least to the rear

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

    Yeah I still need to do the fronts. I did get some pedal feel back or maybe its just a placebo effect. I scored some new Rotors for 60 bucks. Normally I don't replace rotors unless they are grooved or I feel them warped.

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

    Replaced the Rear brakes. Pass Side inside pad was completed gone. Replaced the Rotors put some Powerstop 17-1194 Ceramic Pads.

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

    Buddy of mine printed this cupholder out and I like it. The print wasnt the greatest it warpped in a couple spots but the overall fitment and look is great. The cupholders are much larger than stock. It has a much tighter fit as well so its not rattling around. I'll have him print me another for...

    Looking at a winter-beater.

    4L60E is a about as reliable as a 6l80 if they kept up on maint. People complain about them but I've owned 5 Trucks/SUVs with 4L60s and only ever had issues with my S10 and the OD Solenoid dying. The people I always see saying the 4 speeds suck are jacked up on 35s trying to put 50000HP through...

    Looking at a winter-beater.

    That Avalanche is clean as hell..I really wanted on before I bought teh Yukon..but wife hates the look of them for whatever reason. I'd take the Avalanche in a heartbeat. That Burban is way to rough for the price they want for it.

    Looking at a winter-beater.

    It has aftermarket trailer brake controller on it so It was used as a towrig for something decently sized. I would for sure check the trans fluid and change all fluid IMO. It looks clean tho. I've spent alot more on alot worse. 4k Is a decent price.

    I keep debating on adding one to mine. Seems easy enough.

    I need your opinion. GMT800 vs GMT900. Which to buy?

    If you live anywhere were they salt the roads. Rust is inevitable, unless you buy a brand new car and take it directly to a shop to get fluid flim, undercoating, whatever. Its only a matter of time. Even all the undercoating methods only delay it since it cant get to every nook and cranny. The...

    I need your opinion. GMT800 vs GMT900. Which to buy?

    I only went with a 900 because I've never had any luck with the past 5 4l60E Trucks/Suvs I've owned besides my 00 Diamond Edition Jimmy. The 800s are way more plush, not so much cheapish plastic. You also gotta think of it like this as well lots of these 800s are going to be nearing 25 years...

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

    I have a pic somewhere of me working in a driveway during a thunderstorm with a trash can behind me holding the umbrella cuz I needed to do brakes on my Buick Lesabre so I could go to work the next morning lol Fun times...I won't do it again now that I got a garage.

    How reliable are the 2011 Yukon Denalis?

    My 10 Yukon has a bad Oring when I bought it. 20-25 PSI when warm. I put 10w30 in it and now it maintains 35-40PSI when warm. Its on my list of things to do if I ever need to drop the pan..but I'm happy with the pressure now.
