How difficult was this to do?
Isn’t there some minor design flaw with these GM engines that causes them to slowly burn oil off? I seem to remember reading something a while back about the placement of a valve or port or something causing it.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

The PCV systems are known to cause oil consumption. A lot of people use something called a catch can to catch the oil before it enters the intake. There’s a lot of info on them here.How difficult was this to do?

Got my truck about a year ago at about 85k. Picture taken today
Can’t read it. Zoomed, it just looks fuzzy.

Upgraded to 22" replicas. Before, during and after pics below along with story...but I do have a question for anyone running 285/45/22 on this body style...what PSI do you have? I put them at 35
So with my state inspection coming up in September I knew I'd need new tires, and two of my TPMS sensors were bad as well. So I was figuring over $700 for 4 with 2 new sensors and mounting/balancing. Looked on LetGo and found these 22" chrome replicas with pretty decent tires for $500. Some light scratches and one of the tires has been plugged but I'm calling this a deal considering I had to get new tires and what I was able to get for less.
Now I need to figure out what to do with my OEM 20"s. They're not in the best shape, NY Winters have not been kind, any idea if they even have a value since they're OEM?

Why not just save them for winter use?

I might, haven't ruled it out, although I'd need to put new tires on so I'm back in my original boat.

Hey, you're in NY, I bet you could get used tires cheap.

You're probably right, literally picked these up Friday and put on today so haven't spent much time thinking about next steps yet, just happy with the upgrade.

Good purchase imo. Keep the old set, get new tires when you can. eBay. I bought used tires cheap on eBay. Or find a local spot. We are up north, keep the nice wheels for summer and the others for winter. That way you don't have to worry as much.

The GMT900 SUVs that came with 22s (Escalade, etc.) and that tire size were spec'ed for 35 PSI. That seems a hair high, but it's likely to help squeeze out a few inches more of fuel mileage. You'd probably be okay around 31-32 to improve the ride if that's a concern for you.
I'd keep the originals for winter tires. Yes, you'll need to buy tires, but you have a few months to save up. It'd be better than letting the winters destroy your clean 22s. Worn OEM 20s, especially of that style, are more valuable as winter wheels than the couple hundred they may fetch.
If you buy winter tires it’s like doubling the life of your summer tires plus your new wheels won’t get trashed in the winter.
Pretty much my exact plan. I was thinking about blue LEDs, but really don’t want to do the whole interior with blue, and don’t think that would go well with my exterior color either.
