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

That was in drive after flashing a new trans cal... The 2-3 shift was hanging so I lost a lot of time there. Couldn't hook worth a damn either so I didn't get my 11 second run in. I literally spun all 4 tires through the 1/8th mile. The amount of rubber on the drivers front fender liner was kinda crazy. It was picking up the front end causing them to spin like crazy.

I'm happy but not happy lol... I was hoping to run a 10.90 to 11.20 but couldn't get traction if my life depended on it. I need to add limit straps for the front end and stiffen up the rear shocks. Adjustable rebound front shocks/coil overs would help a ton. I see 10s in my future for sure

Here's one of it spitting flames when I let off the gas lol...

Some 2 Step Action from a few days ago as well

Here's one I recorded with a Dragy GPS Performance meter... For those wondering, it was accurate within .02 seconds on this run in the qtr mile. Not too bad for $140 GPS meter

would stiffer sway bars help also? I am under impression that they help prevent body movement forward and backwards in addition to side to side

I have the thickest sway bars you can get on these trucks but generally no, those only help in corners... That's why they make sway bar disconnects and most drag guys don't use them at all. To an extent they might help with twist in the rear but not in my situation. The front tires are coming off the ground, I need to limit the suspension travel up front and stiffen up the rebound and stiffen the compression in the rear. It doesn't help that I'm lowered and have not done the free travel mod. I'm running a spacer in my rear right now so my springs are pretty much compressed/bound up and I'm hitting the bump stops. Bags inside the springs would help though. I have them just haven't had to time install them and plan to when I swap my rear springs out. Will probably add adjustable shocks at that time.

ok I'm *********** this one mostly but what about traction bars? (just curious)

what kind of sway bars does someone make bigger ones than hellwig?

Traction/slapper bars are for leaf springs. Our trucks use upper and lower control arms and a panhard bar. Doesn't apply here...

I'm using DJM Bars I got from @NORCAL SS . The rear bar is 1.13" and solid instead of hollow like Hotchkis and Eibach. I'm not sure about the Hellwig, I know they are 1 1/4" rear but pretty sure they are hollow. Front is hollow 1.5" on the Hellwig, same as the DJM/Calmax...

Looks like I found myself another project on the Tahoe today...

131k motor mount failure.

That sux. Going with the Hummer mounts?

I'm not sure... I only found it because I was trying to isolate a slightly rough idle in drive with my foot on the brake. I did all the usual tune up suspects and still have it...

I understand the Hummer one is more hearty, but isn't also more solid (meaning feeling the engine more)?

I think the jury is still out on that.

Installed an ESV roof rack on the Burb...

Now she needs a bath really bad if the rain will hold off long enough.

I thought the PPV/SSV had the solid mounts as original equipment. Besides, even if there's a little more vibes transmitted, it'll only be at idle unless your engine is missing while driving. I'd rather feel that than have to baby it for fear of tearing the new hydraulic mounts so soon.

Guys, dont forget to change your non-oem regular maintenance items, lol

This is how they're suppose to look right?
