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

[Rocket Man]

Productive day for the Sierra Denali, replaced all 4 blown shocks, and replaced the slowly dying cooling fans with the heavy duty ones from tyc. Thank you guys for suggesting the bilsteins, I LOVE the ride now.

Nice. Where did you hear about the TYC fans? And are they better than the rest?

I searched for the 7 and 9 blade version and the first place that came up was amazon of course, haha. I didn't see any negative reviews so I got them. So far so good, they are much quieter than the factory ones were.

The brand I bought escapes me but they are loud as hell. I did the conversion from a clutch fan so I have no comparison. I did go through a couple aftermarket harnesses though, they kept melting until I went with an OEM one I bought from a member.

I replaced the Denali rear bumper step pads with some new ones I bought on EBay for 1/3 the going price. They were listed as used but had never been installed. $100 total instead of $300.

I'd love to see a thread for both types (metal drawer mods and full wood DIY). I've been trying to figure out the best way to do this on my rig.

I finished buffing, washed and waxed the hoopty... then I cleaned up mama's Explorer with the help of my oldest.

The 0w40 has a hot idle pressure of 51psi. Not hugely different from the 0w30 I was using prior. It's like 4 or 5 psi up from what I was. Redline hot oil Pressure is 115psi

Wonder what our oil filters are rated to LOL

How much were they?

$150 and I forgot I got them from Rockauto, not amazon.

Got some really strange codes today. P0c00 P0053 C086b C1368--wtf are those? One is for a hybrid, another is for stabilitrak/skid control another is a supertuner code--I forget the other one.

The problem with Artificial Intelligence....... Your computer is in a "learning mode" ?

And now, your Hoe is coughing up your non- OEM parts......

( I am joking due to my lack of ability of any assistance to your problem )

I don't doubt anything anymore. I disconnected the battery for a little while in the codes went away, But now my scanner isn't communicating with the OBD.

check the fuse for the power port. or check if the port is working still. the obd2 plugs power is on the same fuse most of the time.

those are some goofy codes, i looked em up and the only real code is o2 heater code. the rest are BS.

I know--they're crazy. I'll have to check that fuse tomorrow if I have time. Even the security light(the padlock)light was flashing.

Sometimes I think it is. I paid a toll and got on it--Reduced Engine Power came on. Usually the scanner takes care of it, not this time. Guess we'll see today.

Everything was ok today, until I threw the belt--again. Grabbed a replacement idler pulley from Advance Auto. The design is a little different on the new one--not as concave as the stocker.

Also, I plugged in my better scanner and it scanned the Hoe with no issues. Maybe it's the cheap scanner. Who knows.

One they gave me:

Looks like my stock idler. Think I should've got this one.

I hope it'll work ok.
