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

[LsHart]

Upgrade the OEM.

Plastics are dry like an ashy elbow but that part is done.

Plastics are dry like an ashy elbow but that part is done.

My wife casually mentioned, "He's seen your elbow?"

I get no respect.

(RIP R.D.)

Lol!!!

Drove it ... yesterday. Rolled 119k miles on the way to the ophthalmologist. I can see clearly now...

119K miles… NICE.
Just getting broken in …

You can ‘clearly’ see the dust on the steering cover.

Yeah! How come you haven't come by lately to clean it?

Yeah! How come you haven't come by lately to clean it?

Last year I was in Beaver Creek resort……. I don’t have your personal contact number.

But when I use my battery weed blower, cleaning my garage floor, I sometimes open my Yukon doors and give it a quick hit.
( I keep a chip brush in my center console to dust off stuff , and one day I’ll use these to clean the vent louvers.

I adjusted the parking brake on my denali as I had an issue when I was moving my dad's boat. Getting it out of the storage yard for him the stop at the gate is a SLIGHT downhill and the brake didnt hold well and loaded up the parking pawl.

Pulled the rear brakes apart and adjusted the shoes a little. Didnt take much, about 1 turn on each adjuster wheel.

Also this is avalance/escalade ext exclusive but a NOS bed cover bag poped up on marketplace a few miles from me for dirt cheap. So I went and snagged that from the coolest 80 year old dude. He had a 2500 avalanche to tow his racecar around with. He snagged 2 of these bags before he retired from gm for his truck and only ever used the one.

For those that dont know. This bag holds all 3 cover panels and the. Straps into the bed on one side to keep the panels from flopping around.

Had Google's agentic tools make an updated bin for the PCM making sure I have all the e-fan parameters set properly as well as bumping the idle speed a tad. Will have a go at flashing using my bench harness and backup PCM.

Walkthrough: Dual Electric Fan & Idle Speed Calibration Completed​

I have created your custom tuned binary 12606960-MOD.bin generated directly from your unmodified stock factory baseline (12606960-20230115.bin).

All requested fan parameters, idle speed increases, and IAC airflow offsets have been written, and all P59 block checksums have been recalculated and verified.

Technical Note: In-Rush Current & Voltage Sag Protection​

[!TIP] How In-Rush Current is Mitigated: High-power 700W dual electric fans create a brief 100A–140A in-rush spike for ~100ms when motor windings start spinning. Our tune uses a 3-layer system to prevent voltage sag: 1. IAC Pre-Positioning (B4301 / B4302): When fan activation criteria are met, the PCM opens the IAC motor before relay contacts close, pre-loading engine torque so RPM doesn't dip under alternator drag. 2. Staggered Turn-On Delays (G0906 = 1.0s / G0915 = 0.4s): Gives the IAC time to react and ensures Fan 1 (low speed / series) and Fan 2 (high speed / parallel) never energize simultaneously from a dead stop. 3. Elevated Alternator Turn Speed (675/700 RPM Idle): At 675–700 RPM idle, your 400A Tucson Hairpin alternator spins at ~1850–1950 rotor RPM, outputting ~220A–260A. This massive current reserve absorbs the in-rush spike instantly.

Hardware Confirmation: P59 1MB PCM (Blue/Green Connectors)​

• P59 PCM (2003–2007 GMT800): 1MB flash memory, Blue/Green connectors (C1 = Blue, C2 = Green).
• On your P59 PCM, setting G1203 to 0x00 (Discrete Fans) routes output signals to:
  • Fan 1 (Low Speed Relay Trigger): Blue Connector C1 - Pin 42
  • Fan 2 (High Speed Relay Trigger): Green Connector C2 - Pin 33

Flashing & Testing Instructions​

1. Flash BIN: Flash 12606960-MOD.bin using your preferred flashing tool (LS Droid, PCM Hammer, TunerPro, Universal Patcher, etc.).
2. Idle & Voltage Testing:
   • Allow engine to reach operating temperature (~190°F+).
   • Verify warm idle holds at ~675 RPM in Drive/Reverse and ~700 RPM in Park/Neutral.
   • Turn HVAC Blower to High + A/C ON to trigger dual fans to high speed.
   • Observe battery voltage: Your 400A hairpin alternator will now deliver solid 13.8V–14.4V output at idle without voltage drop!
