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

[Rocket Man]

Trans guy checked out the Hoe today. No hard codes stored. Drove around with the scanner hooked up and everything is good to go. Shifted great. Guess I'll see what happens.

Sounds like what that thread was talking about- it's probably just a hassle due to the stall and tune. You could always carry an OBD reader with you so you can clear the codes in case it puts you in limp mode like what was happening to those guys. Good luck. If I was you, I'd probably get an Autocal from BlackBear. The help they've given me has saved me tons of diagnostic money and headaches. I can datalog, send it in, and they tell me what's going on. I'd bet they could tell you what's happening with your trans and maybe fix it, turn on your efan, etc. Plus tunes for life.

I installed some blue LED floor lights in the front and rear

I actually like that idea.

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve washed her down, removed faded door edge guard, new battery, new tray, washer pump and lines, leds inside, reverse pods, led tails.

Began wiring in come led cobs under the hood but they don’t turn off when I close the hood, any suggestions?

The autocal would make your problems ez to fix. Kill the code in the tune and u dont have to worry about it again I just ran my truck thru state inspections and no issues.

I've hit the tuning limits of Blackbear and efilive though and can't keep my converter locked with 0 throttle input so I may have it tuned with hptuners. I got some more changes to do first, but if I sell my autocal I'll let ya know..

What are they wired to? I ran mine off my stock underhood light that has a built-in gravity switch. If you don't have one you can add it.

I used a negative cutoff switch. Works perfectly. Hood closed the negative separates from the body. Hood opens the spring pushed the negative against the body allowing the light to ground and turn on.

Look good.
You would think by now someone would make a leveling spacer kit for these.

Wouldn't be hard....just a plastic wedge shape with the correct bolt pattern.....patent pending!

Yes I do have the underhood light from the factory and when I connected it to it, the light stayed on but I know see the gravity switch is after where I connected and I’m not sure how to connect to there.

The negative switch may be the way to go. Unless I can figure out how to connect to the factory switch

Just open up the switch and solder wires to the brass contacts at each end of the stock bulb. Right where the bulb connects. I thing you need to drill a hole for the wire to exit through.

I'm having the exact same issue, I just disconnected them for now.

I think they'd only sell on the forum, lol! I don't think anyone else would even notice.

What's the autocal go for, and how does that work again? Thx for the first dibs offer too!

Here's a couple pics of mine. I just soldered to the brass clip things that the bulb snaps into. If you take the back cover off there's easy access on the back side.

Have any pics? I'm a visual guy.

One wire to each side? Left and right side?

Yes...one is +, one is -. And remember led's have polarity.

Sounds like a plan, appreciate it. I’m doing one cob on the driverside now. And maybe one later on the pass towards the front.

Autocad sells for $600 with tune. I think it was $300 for me since I was already street tuned by Justin. Mine would be a lot less.

It plugs into the OBDII port and you can data log all the sensors so you can go back and see how the truck performed on a laptop. You can send data logs to Justin and he can send uodates tunes via email. Upload them to the Autocal using a laptop, disconnect from the laptop, go out to the truck and upload the revised tune.

Its a lot easier than pulling your pcm and sending it to him and having your truck be down and risk damaging the pcm during shipping or the pins each time u install the pcm. No crank relearns. You can also read and clear trouble codes.

It's neat and I don't want to switch but my circumstance warrants I look at other options and none are cheap..

^^ If you buy someone's Autocal, you pay BB for the lifetime tune which is $300 I believe, plus the cost of the used Autocal.

Well, that was a bust. Security light never stops blinking. Does removing the TCB or TBC, I forget which order it's in, reset the BCM memory? Thinking I'll pull that overnight and see what the outcome is in the morning

well, seems like I can't win this weekend. replaced Ignition housing and the ignition cylinder. The damn truck never goes into the relearn procedure and the security light blinks nonstop. No 10 minute, 20 minute, or 30 minute window works the light just never stops flashing to even allow me into the first step of the relearn procedure. So, from research online and talking to a few 12volt installers I used to work with, we believe that maybe the BCM is on permanent lock out.

Anyone here ever deal with this? I ordered a BCM should be here Tuesday.

Just a pic of the pods and tails, they’re also eagle eyes in the reverse socket.
