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

[Rocket Man]

It looks better than not shaved, but still looks out of place. It LOOKS shaved rather than just being subtle about it, like it's accentuating that it was shaved. The point of shaving something is to make it blend in but that just screams "look at me and me only, never mind the rest of the motor".

I think some smooth valve covers or milling on the manifold to match the valve covers would help. But the manifold is still too curvy/bubbly whereas the rest of the engine that it compares to, particularly the valve covers, has more defined edges and straight lines. It just has too many clashing aspects.

Just quit trying to make the stock intake look good, and put in something that looks GREAT when it screams "look at me". Like I did with this...best looking intake EVER!

Gave my Yukon ( and all vehicles ) their annual bar and chain oil/diesel fuel frame bath.

Also installed new gauge cluster w/ tranny temp gauge.

Works fine except for one problem : the fuel gauge needle is pegged way beyond "full". Googling says that issue might correct itself after a few ignition-ons. Anyone know if that is true ?

Otherwise, it goes back to ebay seller for exchange.


Thanks.

Nice intake....... For "second best"..... ( just kidding)

Naaaah. Them left-to-right ribs totally clash with the front-to-back channels on the valve covers. 0/10 would not smash.






















...Or do what's in my time and monetary budget: Close the hood and walk away.

I agree. If it was painted black I think it would look better. Maybe put the vortec logo on it or something... idk

*Flat black so it looked more like a stock, factory molded manifold.

Yeah, mine from Digital Dash Solutions does the same thing. It shows way over full and after around 1/8 tank, it drops down where it should be. It annoys me, but got used to it pretty quick. I didn’t want to send it back and wait for another one. He offered, but I decided to just keep it.

You can pull the face off it and move the needle. Just have to follow online instructions so you don’t move it too much.

Mine are LT load range E. Only had them on for a quick spin last night and the ride to work this morning. They will get put to the test shortly as winter is upon us.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the APT? Here are the ATX sizes:

Oh, yes, you are right, those are APT. I wonder what's different?

Tread pattern. The ATX is much more agressive.

It was the day to clean my MAF and buy a new air filter and this was the choice, K&N, any opinions on that?

Era el día para limpiar mi MAF y comprar un nuevo filtro de aire y esta fue la elección, K&N, ¿alguna opinión al respecto?

Amigo, ingles por favor.

The dry filter is more often preferred and recommended, but you can be ok if you don't over-oil it. It may be over-oiled as it is straight from K&N. Just pay attention to your fuel mileage, trans shifting and throttle response. If it starts to act up, you may need to clean your MAF again. If that is the dry filter, then you're good to go! I have the AEM version (K&N bought AEM years ago) and love it.

Just follow the instructions for the amount of oil you put on and you’ll be fine. Whipple supplied an oiled filter (S&B) with my supercharger and I have cleaned and oiled it a few times and haven’t had an issue with my MAF sensor.

Had the choice between Timkens and Moogs for about the same $$.
Went with the Moogs.

Nice weekend project.

Winter wheels on.

I’d definitely go with Timken after what I’ve read in this forum. Especially for the same $$. I imagine the Moog will be fine though.

Threw together an Add-A-Sub over the past couple weekends, buddy at work made a box that hold a single 10" that fits between the second row captains. Made from 3/4 MDF we had laying around at work. Free Audiobahn 10 inch from same guy just sitting in his garage. Bought a second hand 500w Rockford amp and wiring kit from my brother. $80 total into it. Sounds good, gave the tunes some ********, easily removable, not too loud so the kids can enjoy when mom isn't in the truck. Going to carpet the box and call it good.
