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

[Tonyrodz]

is more supply/demand. people use more fuel over summer, so they jack the price up to keep you from buying gas, winter the price drops cause theres less demand.

driving a sc car for the last 9 years, i cant tell if theres a difference or not in the blends, ( i cant tell you all 93 is not equal) i buy from one place only unless im way out of town.

funny how the same tune but gas from a different place can cause new found kr, go back to the good place and the kr goes away. things that make you say hhmmmm.

ive yet to try 87 in the regal. being i got meth injection now, im my mind im thinking the meth will make up for the 6 points lower octane. im just chicken still. ive chipped up one piston already, dont want another engine swap.

this will ruin your week.

took the head with it. exhaust valve was passing air like it was open.

for those who never chipped a piston before, this was wot top of second into third in the shift it started to make this pinging / crunching sounds for about 15 seconds, even after i let off cause im like thats not sounding good.

1/2 mile later the cel went off for a misfire but i already knew i smashed the spark plug.

I don't have the pics anymore, but I took out a huge chunk of piston in my GN. Thought it was a crack until I pulled the rings out and a HUGE chunk of piston just fell on the bench. Didn't score the cylinder wall but there were some small detonation marks. Luckily I was able to clean it up some. I'm already .030.

every time something has blown up on me i was beating the living snot out of it.

all but two trannys in the regal. both took uneventful ***** on me. first one lost 3 rd gear, it was just gone one day. second, a used tranny after 3 passes at E town one night, it started to run hot, like 220 on a short trip, soon after that it just locked up on me as i slowed to pull in the driveway. when in park the tc was pulling the idle down so low it was ready to stall out. tc and the diff exploded i think. had chunks in the pan too.

I just bought some of the Hella 100w halogen bulbs for mine and some of the 80 watt bulbs as well I put the 80 watts in the running lights and a 100 watts in the brights. All of the reviews were saying how bright they were in blah blah blah so I ordered them thinking they didn't sound too bad but was I wrong I peeled them back out this morning before work and I already returned them. Complete ************* could barely see them I think the stock ones that came in the truck probably were brighter than these. I swear you can not trust the reviews on shit anymore. It's so gd annoying!

I def remember those days. I lost my license twice, and the one time I worked for the NJDOT driving a truck! Wasn't fun.

I was bad--but not that bad! Lol, at one point my insurance spiked to $5,000 tho. This was the late 80's when insurance was out of control.

i had 18 points in less then a years time. my down fall was the 1970 formula 400 i found and bought. that things back tires had spontaneous combustion. you do the math 18 pts worth of careless driving, was 2 points a ticket, got a improper lane usage too mixed in there for another 4 pts.

ive yoyo'ed all over the place. in all ive amassed 43 points and lost em all over time. spent 6k in surcharges too. did a lot of defensive driving classes to loose the points too, think i cleared 10 pts one year doing classes.

then theres been a few speeding tickets over the years. all in a pick up truck and a crappy box truck, all out of state, so only 2 points for each of those babys.

turns out the cdl police troopers in DEL can see all the way back to the beginning of your driving record, hes comes back almost laughing. hes like you got a checkered past. im like me???? my lic is 100% clean. (and it was for 10 years or more at this point) he comes back with improper use of a moped? im like you can see that far back and i a just started to laugh, cause it is on my record, ive seen it myself its listed as my first violation. yet i never got that ticket. then i had to explain how i had that formula 400 and i was dumb ass kid.

still got the damn ticket too.

I've calmed down--somewhat. I can't afford to get a ticket, points or $$ wise. Top speed on my van is 97, same as my Tahoe was. Don't ask how I know!

i had my 03 2500 hd up to 120 for miles on end once upstate NY on rt 90. its like a dead straight hwy begging for speed. no idea what the limiter was set o stock on that, but 120 felt damn good. after 20 miles or more of this act, im like i should really back it down some. so i slowed to 90 and ran past a cop, yes he pulled me over, hes like you were going a little fast back there, nailed for 90. in my head im like you should have seen me 5 miles back lol turns out to be a cool ass cop, wrote me a failure to observe a traffic device, no points, 30 bucks iirc.

one of my fav stops was in a roll off on a holiday, so no truckers on the road, but me, county police make a living off pulling over and writing equipment violations on truckers. you get 5 or more no matter what. never got less then 5 tickets from one of these assholes.

so i roll past him he pulls out as soon as i passed him, his lights were not even on and i was pulling over already. hes like why did you pull over, you were going to pull me over were you not? im the only truck out here and you look bored. he was so far up my ass theres no way he was not gonna pull me over so i figured id make it easy on him.

i rolled off with 12 tickets that day, now tell me theres no quota BS. and on top of that not one ticket was legit, all fabricated BS.

And I bet if you tried to fight it, would be a waste of a day. Either way you lose.

tickets were not my problem really. they were written out to the registered owner. so i didnt pay them. co roll off truck. but what did happen is company's just dint pay them tickets being theres no one's lic to suspend over it not being paid, so they did start writing them out to the driver. at that point i was like heres your tickets, now write the check and hand it over right now!!!!! cause this crap is getting paid asap.

i did fight the tickets i got in my pick up truck from them. ended up getting one dismissed and the rest reduced big time.
