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

[Sam Harris]

eh, tis2000 sucks balls, just pay the $40 and use tdsweb 1000 times better
to get tis2000 running you have to download xp virtual machine and its really buggy/slow

Word up. I didn’t realize that was an easy workaround. [emoji16][emoji106]. tdsweb it is!

I guess I should add that it can depend on what you are trying to accomplish, if you want to do calibrations/update the firmware then tdsweb is the way to go.
if you want to use the computer to control the tech2 then tis2000 is somewhat useful in that respect but it's archaic at best, I tried it and wasn't impressed.
you will need xp virtual machine and any drivers it may call for, update java.

for tdsweb it will run a bunch of java at first but then it works pretty nice right thru windows 7/10

 

[Sam Harris]

Thanks man! Yeah, I imagine tdsweb will do all I want. Now I need to figure out my product line.. I thought I coul either read, or plug-in my vin, but not finding it. I’ll bet the product line is on my build sheet somewhere..

Is that the factory privacy tint on the rest of the windows?

no you have to select your options on the tech2 based on your vin number it doesn't read the vin and then work automatic like a obd2 scanner

I'm looking to remove my third row seats and make a dual drawer system in the floor of the cargo area. Mainly for my fishing tackle and other odds and ends. I want to have them about 8" in depth and the length and width of cargo area behind second row seats. Has anyone ever done something like this? If so let me see your set up.

Looks like it’s the 3rd character in the VIN. K for me. [emoji106][emoji16]

You keep saying virtual, but what if I have a perfectly good machine running XP (I do)?

Boy, I hope you never connect that thing to the internets..!

Ok this is fun.. [emoji16] I’m not sure what the oil pressure sensor voltage is supposed to be. I imagine it will fluctuate depending on the oil pressure..? I would have tested this but my kiddo is sleeping in the house, and don’t want to wake her up, via the ARH longtubes. [emoji1787]
ETA: my oil pressure sensor is pegged at 80 in the new cluster about 3-4 months old, and this is the 3rd sensor I’ve installed since buying last September. 2 OEM Delco parts, and one “Standard”, which failed catastrophically

alcohol content is at 78%. Much higher than I expected (been running E85, but figured it would be a lot lower still)

and this is annoying AF.. keeps doing this, and reconnects, over and over. Reseated connections at the Tech2 and obd2 port, and power cycled the Tech 2, but it continues. Wonder if that’s pretty normal, or if I should contact the seller..?

Also, whenever I do anything with the t-case, it also errors out, saying I need to reselect the vehicle, and I chose poorly.. lol. I chose borg Warner, so tried it again, and still fails.

I can check mine tomorrow and see what the oil pressure switch voltage is but I bet it's 5v, on your tech2 be sure the cable connectors and adapter plug are tight so the metal clips are in the slot, I have to check mine every so often that long cable has a little weight to it so the connectors can get loose from dragging it around, i would take it all apart and reseat everything.

Yes. They're all pretty even now. Factory tint is ~20%

There are at least two members that I know for sure did this, one of them within the past month or two and he used pre-made drawer cabinet assemblies from ULINE.

Yep. Did that but didn’t help. Any thoughts on the t-case comms..?

Thanks for the direction! Right after I posted that I found the first thread you sent me. Thats pretty much exactly what I'm looking to do. Thanks!

Yes. They're all pretty even now. Factory tint is ~20%

That look good. I have a 2006 that is the same color. Now I know exactly what I want to do as far as my tint goes.

Just be careful. Not sure what state you are in, but 35% is the legal limit here in NC. I technically could be ticketed for mine.

Nothing real exciting. Had a post-CAT o2 heater code right after finishing the new transmission. No big deal. Ordered 2 new o2's.

Removed both post-CAT o2's and tossed them aside. Removed the pre-CAT o2's and reinstalled them in the post-CAT spots, then installed the 2 new o2's in the pre-CAT spots. Cleared code and good so far.
