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

    I do a lot of manual shifting too. It could also just be the pads & rotors. I've been using the Raybestos Element3 stuff. I feel like it stops really well, and the rotors don't rust up here with the long salty winters. That being said, I measured my calipers the other day, and they were well...

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

    I would say not particularly hard. I also work from home and do t drive a ton. I think the main reason would be that there is no flat land in my region. Everything is a hill... big, small, steep, not steep.

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

    Ordered pads & rotors for front/rear from Rock Auto. I ordered the exact same parts as I did two years ago, and they were about $70 more expensive this time around.

    Bilstein 5100 Review

    You ordered through them? I'm searching for some 5100s because I can't help myself, and the lowest price I've seen so far has been on Amazon.

    Bilstein 5100 Review

    I had 5100s on my Armada, and they are currently on the rear of my Yukon. Where did you get yours?

    Transmission fluid exchange...an anecdotal experience

    Just subbed to your channel. (I used to love watching the AT teardowns on the Precision Transmission channel before they got a billion subs then went private $$$). Do you do any work on the 6L80s?

    What parts did you use that were out of spec?

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

    Went for a drive up to Acadia National Park. I was able to cash in my government service for a free lifetime vehicle pass, so that was cool. Rig did fine; no dramas on the drive to/from the park and around Bar Harbor. Stopped at two breweries on the way up, and five in the ride home, but we...

    Carrying extra fuel in an SUV

    I just bought two "dairy" crates from Tractor Supply yesterday for that very purpose.

    Any aluminum radiators that don't crack annually?

    Why do the aluminum radiators fail more then the OE units?

    What do I all need to clean the throttle body? 2014 Tahoe

    I think cleaning the MAF (with MAF cleaner) will do much more than wiping down the throttle body. How dirty can the throttle even get? A layer of grime isn't going to really effect anything, right? A dirty MAF sensor absolutely will affect MPGs.

    Motor Oil Brand vs Consumption?

    Poke a hole in the bottom of the filter, and put an empty cat litter jug under it.

    Any aluminum radiators that don't crack annually?

    Wasnt' the HD (2500/3500) radiator the same layout as the 1500, but had a thicker core? Someone mentioned, somewhere, that it had the same oil and trans cooler fittings.

    Aftermarket front bumper alternative? Yukon

    @mrpeterclark Is it possible to do a shipping calculator from Livermore, CA (the first wine club I joined... got so sloshed up at El Sol; good times) to New Hampshire?

    Low oil pressure

    Pull the pressure sender and clean that little orifice out. The smallest particle of gunk can get in there and mess up the readings. Then I'd remove the oil filter, and blow compressed air or brake cleaner down the pressure sender threaded hole. It goes straight down to the filter, so...

    Need front Wheel bearings (4WD) which ones are good?

    I'd personally buy Timken. They have one of their manufacturing facilities 30 minutes from me. My neighbor used to work for them. They did a lot of military contracts there, and had a Blackhawk parked out front for a while.

    So all those stickers that say "Contains no more then 10% corn juice" are lying?

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

    If you have a buddy with a long prybar, it's easy to drop the pan on the 6L80; no need to undo any exhaust stuff.

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

    Annual intake manifold bolt tightening sequence. I'm impressed by how many bolts out of the ten need to be torqued to spec. All were at the 1st pass of 44 in/lbs., but almost all were loose on the second 88in/lb. pass. I also fixed the issue of my passenger side wiper fluid nozzle not spraying...

    Brand new rotors have grooves??

    It's an optical illusion; you're seeing the chamfer along the rotor edge.

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

    Mounted the el cheapo kayak racks that won't seem to die, and are headed out for the first ride of the season. Hope the river is fast because after last night's scotch(s) and beer(s) I don't feel that athletic.

    Battery Tender with De-sulfication Built It

    I should have clarified.... I bought that for my Yukon, not the BMW.

    Battery Tender with De-sulfication Built It

    Great thread.... I have a BMW battery that's sat in the trunk all winter and I'll probably need a good way to clean/charge it up over the regular charger I have. Also: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/automotive-battery-group-48-odyssey-48-720 This is the battery I recently bought...
