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

[Rocket Man]

Did 90 with this rig a few weeks ago... Decent load with that being a 22' steel deck car hauler...

The big boys have those surface drive props those things hover that chunk of fiberglass up there for sure... 100 mph in a boat is much more a rush than 100 mph on a bike....

For sure. I had a jet boat with a built 460 Ford with a blower that put out 900 HP. It would do 80 and for a 18’ boat that was fast enough for me. I actually got a wreckless endangering ticket in it for doing a 720 in the air coming off a wake. It was dismissed luckily, the traffic judge didn’t even know what to do since it was a marine citation.

Thanks. There’s 4 different 3M brushed metal colors- titanium, steel, aluminum and black. You can order sample sizes on EBay and see if one matches. I’m betting steel or aluminum would.

Supposedly Titanium is a good match.

I found yesterday that 3M 1080 "Scotchprint" vinyl in "titanium" is an exact match for the Z71 "brushed aluminum" trim. So I have ordered some of that and i'm wrapping the spokes and trim ring on my Escalade wheel to match the rest of the trim. I'll see how I feel about that when its done and then decide if I want to stick with it or go ahead with the custom leather.

@TheRaven any update on the wrap project?

Used it to drag my little trailer to Walmart to get some tires put on Jenn's wheels. First time I got it above 80MPH since the drop and wheels. I don't know if it's the warmer weather or the 22s are that much heavier, but it feels like it has some extra weight on it now. The 22s ride rougher, as I expected from the shorter sidewall and since they're BRICKstone Duelers. But, at least they're balanced nicely.

I pull a 4 horse slant behind the dually @75 all the time...

Not today, but yesterday afternoon (I work at a school, so no school Monday or Tuesday) I cleaned the snow off it and cleared the driveway and took it out to pick up some dinner.

The roads were pretty sloppy and halfway plowed and I was trying to see how this AWD does in it and goosing it around corners. The damn traction control light kept coming on and I couldn't get it to drift through...lol. I even turned off the traction control button but the light with the vehicle with squiggly lines underneath would still come on when trying to power it through snow. Does this mean the traction control is still coming on or just that the vehicle is detecting tire slippage?

I had no problems driving through any of it, but I was purposefully trying to get the tires to spin through it (OE Dueler H/L Alenza)

I think that even though you turned off traction control I am pretty sure your stabilitrak is still active and I believe it uses the same icon on your dash.

these have stabiltrac and traction control, you have to hold the button down for a few seconds to get both disabled, another way is to just pull the abs fuse, you will get some dummy lights if the fuse is pulled but they will go out when the fuse is put back in

I did try it with both disabled and the slippage/traction light would still come on when punching it through the snow or around a corner.

pull the abs fuse then it will just default to standard brakes and the traction control/stabiltrac will be disabled, the system works by getting the abs data & data from the transmission, just pulling the abs fuse will work though

Brr!!! It's 84 out right now, hiding inside with the AC on!

It'll turn itself back on. Gotta do like Wes said and kill it by killing the ABS system. Although, with both disabled, you can powerbrake. I guess that's because you're sitting still so there's no side-to-side speed difference for it to detect and react to.

Them damned nannies almost got me in trouble a couple of times when I first got my Tahoe. I went into a turn that I drifted through countless times in many RWD vehicles expecting the Tahoe to get sideways. It skipped a little then lost power. I was not expecting that to happen and was set up to counter steer so it was a sloppy execution.

You'll get yours! It was around 81 yesterday and now it's 40ish, wet and windy and getting colder over the next couple of days.

 

[Geoffsfas10]

I foudn it equally as annoying to drive this thing in the snow that we got. So many nanny systems trying to keep me from having fun. Also, these Goodyear ats or whatever the previous owners just put on my rims SUUUUCCCCKKK!! I miss the Falkens I had on my truck...oh well maybe since these are in such good shape I can sell em cheap and offset a new set of falkens

 

[Geoffsfas10]

Brr!!! It's 84 out right now, hiding inside with the AC on!

also...how do you have the AC on when its only 84? we dont even think about turning ours on til its in the 90s haha

Yeah well how was the OTHER summertime lol. Way too hot and humid.

Big storm coming in a few hours and the high will be 70 and 50s and 60s at night for the rest of the week. We were pleasantly surprised with 30s and 40s a few weeks ago.

Fat and different blood man. Low 70s and all the ladies start wearing sweaters and breaking out their top boots! My wife is from New York and is not used to the cold anymore. Thermostat placement makes a difference too, this house likes 70, previous one 74 and the one before that 76. Oh wait, maybe that's me! LOL

Just like this:

Those temps are perfect! I guess you're far enough south to not get this horribly frigid front that is destroying our lives here. The frost is everywhere- on the grass, on cars, mailboxes...

Was 28 here in houston this morning... But we get those days where you run the heater in the truck in the morning, ac in the afternoon... The humidity makes these temps feel way worse than they are... 90s here is 90% humidity, and you cut the air with a knife... 80s still isnt pleasant most days...

I guess I'm a firm believer in there is a limit to what I will take off, but I can always add more clothes...

Yes sir, I say the same thing. Can always add clothes, but you can only take so much off.
