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

[Tonyrodz]

Are you sure you don't have a block heater? My Denali had one and I didn't even know until I decoded the RPO's.

What's the rpo for that?

I too would like to know what rpo that is and also how to use it I've never had a block heater before

If you have it, it's a kind of heater/probe that's plumbed into the cooling system. It's connected to a cord that you plug into an outlet, 120 volts. So it keeps the system warm so on sub freezing days, it'll start right up, since it's warm already.

So you should see an outlet somewhere to plug in.... I don't think I have that.


Side note is there a special way to remove the license plate light housing on a denali. I broke mine trying to swap LEDs and now I need to get a new housing. The bulbs were too long and I "accidentally" muscled it haha

The housing looks like it's under. Bumper cover. I thought the denalis chrome bumper was paint matched not just a cover

You need to remove the bumper cover to replace them, get the Phillips LED’s for your tag lights, there bright as hell and fit perfect

If you have it, there'll be a cord wrapped up under the hood somewhere. It'll be the male end with the prongs.

The Z71 is matched. The Denali is a cover. Take the black cladding off, and the cover slides right off.

Thanks. I just ordered different bulbs off amazon that are smaller. And in the meantime I'll take the bulb holder off the tahoe haha

Got my switchbacks installed along with my led reverse lights. Pretty happy with them my gauge lights come in tomorrow and my clear signal light housings come in on Thursday

Block heater RPO code is K05. IIRC the 110v cord and plug on mine comes down the driver's side of the radiator and hangs there. Might be tie-wrapped if it's never been used.

I'd add a pic, but I'm getting an "uploads not available" message when I try.

Guess I can't upload a pic when editing, so here's the 110v plug for the block heater. Pic taken from in front of the DS tire, looking toward engine.

Changed out the rear brake pads in the denali today as well as greasing all the zerts under the truck, truck seems to be in great shape again!!

Funny story those are the exact ones I ordered haha

And they didn't fit? I used these with my Denali rear bumper with no issues. The Tahoe and Denali use the same license plate housings.

I just ordered them. I got other ones I thought would fit but the bulb broke in 2 so I returned them and got the ones you posted
