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

[Rocket Man]

Facetiously speaking, I was.

I feel you on waiting. That's why I chose to have mine tuned locally even though I already had the AutoCal. Hell, I'm having to spend my weekend in this Hellish heat swapping a transmission in a FWD go-cart simply because I ran out of waiting time for people to respond.

I figured. I'll tell you, it was so satisfying to figure out how to modify that tune, install it, and go for a test ride and see the problem was fixed just like that. In minutes. I was so happy. Still am.

It's only gonna get better the more power you realize you have now. Just know that, especially being boosted, you also have the power to royally fúck up your stuff. I have ZERO time to dedicate to it at the moment, so it's all gonna be new to me for a while. I have the MPVI2 with Pro Features and recently bought a like-new 15.6" laptop to use exclusively for tuning. My 17" I was using is an obscenely heavy beast with crappy battery life and a ~7 lb. power transformer. The new one is really lightweight with 2+ hours of battery life, a tiny transformer and has a factory reset of Win10 and has been stripped of its bloatware.

Yeah as far as actual tuning it’s gonna be a slow process and not much in the way of change for now until I know what I’m doing. I’m well aware I can get in trouble and screw things up real fast. I bought a new 12” HP notebook to use for tuning and programming modules with the Tech2. I like it because it’s small so it’s easy to use in the truck but big enough to see.

He got me a couple times, I got him a couple times. I got a big thumbs up. I think he was surprised.

Still respectable since you're in a full size suv and he's in a little a$$ sports car.

Would be nice if you had a temp lap top holder--like a ppv has.

I don’t see any pics so it must not have happened!

Proof!

Man I want some sort of laptop holder so bad! I have slung my poor laptop onto the floorboard, against the doors, and behind the seats many times. Its also very difficult to shift with it on the center console.

Proof!

Awesome job!

Drove it on errands, draining more fuel out so the tank is lighter when we drop it. Low fuel light is right at the threshold of staying on, so I'm getting there.

You have good eyesight!

I have glasses...my eyesight is terrible, almost blind without them.

 

[live2pull]

Awesome job!

Thanks. I hope it doesn't spring a leak since I ran the lines through the top coil perch.

I have never installed that type of bags so I wouldn’t know. Are you concerned the springs will bind and cut a line?

How about this for a simple thread. I know a lot of us do simple stuff to our trucks everyday and we don't make a new thread for everything we do. So if you did something neat, simple, or just want to brag about a new cool piece you threw on your ride post it up. I figure this thread will also bring inspiration to others as well.

I'll start.....

Today I did some spring cleaning to the my '01 Tahoe. I washed it and cleaned out the inside. I also ordered some new JL audio speakers for the doors and front and rear Weathertech floor mats. I also put some sound deadening material in the doors.

Jack your post count up, and post away.

Love the post! I’m a newbie here so this is super cool.
I sold my trailboss replica wheels today and cleaned up my stocks. I think I’m going to get some gloss black snowflakes or matte black ones… yes I think I’m basic now

So my aftermarket keyless entry lost memory, ended up disconnecting the neg battery cable to rest it. Reconnected the cable, got the keyless to work again but in the process the ac actuator went in a loop and won't stop. This is only when the ac is on, the position keeps going to face, feet, face/feet, vents. I tried disconnecting the battery again and Reconnected, but no dice. Does anyone know how to relearn with a tech2, if not I'll have to ask one of the technicians at work for some help.

That reason. Also, the fittings it uses are a barb and spring clamp style. I have zero experience with this fitment type, I am used to a push style or compression fitting. We will see how easy a repair will be if it ever fails. After searching through some old threads it seems like a lot of members were using this kit with minimal issue.

As we sit, I am very happy with this upgrade. Will be posting in the setup thread.

Looks like a good time. Never been camping in my life.
