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

[blueinkd]

Awesome, I bet you’re relieved.

Dude!! It was a roller coaster!! But yes I'm relieved. Next weekend I might do the new brake calipers

Sold it, Tentatively..

Sold it, Tentatively..

Why?

 

[TollKeeper]

Why?

Someone offered my asking price of 15k.

My back locked up the other day, and it took me forever to even get in the truck, like 25 minutes.. I hated feeling like a invalid at the mall. We werent home, so I could not just use the other car, and my wife is currently prohibited from driving.

This whole getting old thing sucks, and I am likely younger than most others on the board!

Topped off the gas with E85. Up to 78% ethanol now.

Have you tested it to see what it is at the rail?

Naah, I haven't tested it. My truck has the physical fuel composition sensor, and it seems to be fairly accurate. Just a feeling, though. When I run low-ethanol fuel the percentage drops below 10, and resets to a high number within a few miles after filling with high-ethanol fuel. I should probably get one of those testers and verify what I'm putting in it.

@Fless, what’s the reason behind tracking your ethanol content?

That's right. I forgot about the '800 having that. Lucky bass turd.

Just to see if/how the truck adjusts the percentage, and I like to familiarize myself with the Tech 2. Wish I could find a good ethanol PID for Torque Pro.

But for curiosity's sake I should do some kind of comparison with a known sample, since I'm not really certain that the fuel composition sensor value is accurate. Not that it matters much as long as the fuel trims adjust and I have that awesome feeling of power under foot. (As Dad would have said, the "foot-feed.")

Hey! I resemble that! Seriously, I really lucked out getting a good solid truck, not having done much research on them before I bought. I have learned a lot about them since, though, mostly on the shared experiences of this great TYF community.

added a quart of oil...

Replaced the tail light junction box and the bulb sockets for the DRL...the DRL bulbs had melted the sockets and were starting to melt the tail light housing around them. Finished shopping for all the parts/supplies to wire in the new fan controller and upgrade the grounds and power wire.

 

[Walchit]

Not today, but a couple days ago I did a half-assed seat repair. Gonna see if it holds up, then do the bottom and get some of the colormatch dye.

I shoulda went and cut some leather out of some seats at the junkyard instead of using vinyl, but oh well

You have DRL’s in your tail lights?

I thought new seat covers, and foam was pretty cheap.. I know they have a lot of videos on youtube about it.

They’re available, they’re not cheap by any means.

But...... Our trucks are very nice and they deserve the best!!

Yessir. I replaced both the front bottoms and cleaned the rest real good and they look awesome. But it did cost around $300 iirc.

 

[Walchit]

If you think my truck deserves the new covers I can send you my address and interior code... Lol.

It's like 350 for vinyl just to do the driver's seat. We already spent all of our vehicle budget on this thing. I'm just happy the lumbar isn't poking me in the back, and I finally got all of the duct tape residue off of the seat

 

[Walchit]

I'd really rather find some cloth seats to be honest
