Been happening for a few days. Making double and triple posts. I was wondering why some guys were doing that.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Ahh I noticed the double posts, now it makes sense. Hit the button to post and nothing happens so you hit it again.

Oil pan gasket
Got a bunch of city driving in today. I am pretty sure that next summer I will upgrade my brakes to the nnbs on the front and better pads and rotors on the back.
OK, question.......I have read a lot about bulbs and stuff but I don't want to get to complicated about this. I really like my tail lights and how they look but they are not bright enough. I need to install some brighter bulbs without risking melting anything. I don't really want to do a bunch of wiring either. I also want them to blink normal.
Recommendation about LED's and maybe inline resistors? Something easy but bright as heck.

VLED makes some plug n play led bulbs that have the option to use their resistor module. Requires 0 cutting or splicing of wires

I tried led bulbs in my rear brake light housings and you could barely see them. I have these in there and they're ok.

Emptied my catch can today. I haven't touched it for over 6,000 miles--2 oil changes--and I got maybe 1-2 ozs out of it. Before the whole catch can controversy I would've thought that was good. Not so sure now.
For all you chefs out there--got you a quick recipe. @Galante it's right up your alley Paison.

Thanks erbear28, I will look them up. A link would be appreciated.
Thanks, Do you need resisters also to use them Tonyrodz?
These are my tail lights. They are slightly tinted which is one of the reasons the lights are dim.

Holly Crap!!!! That is expensive. I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks for the info but that is too rich for my wallet.
When I had a catch can on my 6.0, I barely got any at all. Maybe it's the valley cover or the valve covers on the 6.0's that keep the blow-by down. I have since replaced my DS valve cover with the newest design that's supposed to help even more. I didn't want a catch can with my blower.

I don't know. I do have an 05 6.0 in there tho. I also swapped the older design ds valve cover onto it--with the replaceable pcv in it.

No resistors needed.

At my tune appt., Justin @BlackBearPerf told me to clean my throttle body before Thanksgiving. He was right (obviously) with TPS 12.9% at idle.
Disconnected battery and TB harness. Removed TB and used an old coolant sensor as a cork for the crossover.... Worked perfectly.
Sprayed and cleaned the intake as best I could with CRC throttle body /Intake cleaner. Used a sock and a pipe. It wasn't shining, but it was noticeably cleaner with a flashlight....
You filthy little thing, you....
I decided I would ignore all the "don't move it by hand" talk. I was CAREFUL. I pushed it closed, mostly. I took my time. I used a toothbrush with frayed bristles to get in between the body and the plate when in idle position, pushed it closed, and wiped with a microfiber cloth. Repeat x 14,000. I opened it a little just a few times gently. All cleaned up....
Reinstalled. Hooked up the scanner to watch for codes, RPM, and TPS. Decided to do the "relearn" right off the bat. Fired her up, seemed petty good. 3:00 on, 0:60 off. Repeated this a few times. No CEL. By the end, she has just about settled at a solid 600 RPM. TPS at 2.7%. A few minor fluctuations here and there, a little slow back to idle after a throttle burst. I'm sure a little driving will finish it off. Can't complain with a 10%+ decrease in TPS and no 2000 RPM idle. Happy camper over here.

Tired of not being able to see at night in reverse. So I added 2 free led pods. Already have led bulbs for reverse lights but not enough

You cannot read any tire pressures?
First thing is that if it worked before hand and it doesnt work now then I would go back to the shop and tell them that they screwed someting up.
I am getting to the point where I occasionally cannot read tire pressure in my (right rear) tire, I assume that it is time that the batteries get replaced. Maybe this is a similar problem?
