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

[Fless]

Hosed out the fins on all four cooling elements up front, removed the bug deflector, then installed a new head unit from Crutchfield. Solder & heat shrink FTW. When I first got everything out I was a little intimidated by all the wires with the SWC adapter but it wasn't all that bad, everything worked first time. Only thing I don't like so much is another pocket -- I don't really need that and have looked for an install kit that doesn't have one, but they don't seem to be available for single din units in a double din opening.

EDIT: and took her for a joy ride!

The big girl needs a bath, maybe tomorrow. Too hot this evening.

Ditched the old exhaust tip and threw a new one on, it sits perfect compared to the old one, replaced the intermediate parking brake cable, had the AC serviced blows ice cold now and did an oil change

Purchased ‘15 Yukon wheels for my ‘03, for an absolute steal! Wish I hadn’t just put tires on the stockers.. but once I’m ready, I’ll do the NNBS brake upgrade as well. Can’t wait.

Nice upgrade!

OIC I misread what you said. You have even faster shifts. I was thinking a reduction in shift speed, as opposed to a reduction in shift time.

Yes faster shifts. That was bad wording on my part lol

@Fosscore notices it from the top of a flagpole.

I resemble this remark as proudly as Old Glory in a 15 knot breeze!

Finally got to paint her after she was side swiped while parked. Going to let the paint dry a week or so before i sand and buff it.

I approve of this paint color code choice!!

But not happy about why you had to paint it.

Sam, those will look great on your Yukon! My upgrade was similar using 2015 Silverado takeoffs.

Pulled out the Autocal and loaded the 91+ sport tune. At least I think I did. Lol. Instructions are a little slim. It runs up to 6k to shift at WOT, so....

Planning on a tank of e85 this afternoon.

Yes I know about the hybrids and no I meant a Prius.

Anybody running these wheels. There's a set for cheap, thinking about getting them for the 01 Hoe. What do you all think!

Changed the trans filter in The Beast yesterday. I hate working under my truck. Sucks. But it’s done.

Hit my dash and the left side speaker started working again.

Need to pull my radio out and check connections. Methinks something came loose. LF tweeter doesn't work it turns out. Might be related. Might not be. We'll find out

Replace this light bulb with a piece of cob not sure if I like it or not

Timed how long it takes my oil to get up to operating temp. Kind of? Was eyeing pressure, knowing what it should be at a given RPM when hot. Got 18 mins. That was at about 80f ambient, with 0.7mi neighborhood speeds for 4 mins followed by a gentle freeway merge and going 60mph at about 1530rpm, freeway mostly flat. Coolant temp at time of freeway merge was 165f.

Long ass time for heat to make its way into the oil. Honestly I wish these rigs had something like my old Subaru did. Thing had a pancake housing that was an oil/coolant heat exchanger, where one side came off a tapped freeze plug, and the other went to the water pump (I think, don't quote me it's been 6 years).

Anyways it worked really friggin well for getting the oil up to temp quickly. Oil would track pretty closely to coolant temp. Wish these rigs had something similar

Not related. But a curious failure
