What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Just Fishing]

I'm sorta broke right now too, i really thought i had this hoe totally sorted.
So it might end up going back with a cheap 5.3, or having the original rebuilt.
depending on what i can find that is.

For a 6.0 a L96 would fit the bill.

A bunch of them on eBay

5.3 is ok on the top end, but low end sucks.
After the cam swap i think the low end got a little worse.

in the end i just need this fker ready to haul a boat up the canyon by late spring.

Lower gears can make a 5.3 pull better.

I agree, my 3.73 RA made my 5000 lb enclosed trailer pull like a dream.

Agreed!

Went from 3.08 to 3.73 and 3200 converter.......its ****** mint now

My 2001 has 3.73 gears and it's always pulled my 18' flatbed trailer and 3200lb mustang just fine. Oh and that year 5.3 was only rated at like 285hp

Usually my Yukon waits for me to fix something before something else breaks. My new O2 sensors arrived on Friday. But before I could install them, the left turn signal has started hyperflashing. No bulbs burned out. I'm hoping it's a loose connector, or a bad resistor in my aftermarket taillight. But there's something else. The turn signal works normally for two flashes before going hyper. That's probably not a resistor, I'm thinking.

So you know what's dumb? Owning my Yukon for several years and not realizing that the front turn signal uses a second filament in the front marker lamp that could burn out and cause hyperflashing. You know what's REALLY dumb? Not bothering to check the front lamps until after disassembling and checking the entire rear lamp harness and resistor, cleaning all the contacts, and putting it back together.

So that's what I did to my Yukon today.

It looks like replacing that bulb will be fun with the core support right behind it.

The whole front bumper cover has to come off…

Not sure if it differs from state to state but in some states if you put "Gift" they will charge tax on the market/"Blue Book" value of the vehicle. Just something to check in to.

no gift tax here in california other wise they would have charged you on the spot.. they want the money NOW

And its super easy to do.

I used this: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sme-143002

I did have a few that could have been too tight, instructions were pretty lacking.
it took me a few tries before i had it fully figured out.

Those don’t have brass like the Smith Bros kit I used so that’s not it. The ones without needle bearings are the preferred type of upgrade to the trunions. As you complete each one, I check to see if they’re moving freely and don’t have and any slack. You can adjust them a bit if you get them too tight.

Yeah, I watched a couple of videos on it. Hell, if I have to go to all that trouble, I may just replace the whole units. They leak and need polishing as it is.

Discovered it is possible to program a new remote from the DIC in a 2013.

it is not possible to do the same in a 2011.

You can't do it on a 2012, either.

Yeh that was a bit of a slap in the face after buying two new FOBs. Plus the stealership had to program a relearn after replacing the TB. Both items I should have been able to do with the Autel scan tool I own.

 

[gooffeyguy]

I swear my 2011 had the "Remote Learn" option in the DIC, but my 2012 does not

 

[alpha_omega]

I’ve been driving a 2020 Denali for the past week, and while there are some nice features on this hearse, I prefer the feel of my 2011 over this one.
I recent read that GM isn’t planning on changing much of anything on the 2022 model so maybe the next wave will come with the 23’ rollout? However, I have a thing against buying a brand new vehicle off the lot that could potentially have gambit of bugs still needing to be worked out, tweaked, hit with a hammer, cursed at and possibly GM bulletin’d.

I had remembered seeing it then got into thecopcar, and nada. I thought if thecopcar doesn't have it, no way theothertwin would. But there it was.

Now for my tech2 to arrive so i can enable the remote start function.

A locksmith can also program the fob, for about half the price of a dealer.
