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

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

I'm still old school HID

Those are fine for low beams, but pointless anywhere around a city for high beams.

I use my high beams so little since i did my HID retrofit

That storm just brushed us up here but we got some good winds out of it. Stuff was blowing around. We don’t usually get wind from the south like that, it always blows East out of the Columbia River Gorge. We did get a lot of rain but not like you guys did. It put out your forest fires though I heard.

it better have, lol man just driving out of town 1/2 an hour in it I saw probably a couple dozen cars off the road or previously wrecked, 2 accidents going there and another 2 coming back, around town they had several roads shut down until today it finally dried out enough to soak up the puddles, some of the main roads had several feet of standing water a lot of times it's hidden so you don't see it until it's too late. out on I5 they had trucks pumping water out, just south of here in Tracy there is a whole area where it lakes up right to the edge of the highway, Army Corp's just barely made the highway high enough, the farmers out there have built there houses on mounds so just the house it out of the water. that was about a 20 year storm, now it's back to 70deg nice fall weather, no rain in sight.

I still have some VLEDs micro 5K LED low beams for a Tahoe/Burb/Avalanche if anyone is interested. I was happy with them when I had the Tahoe but pulled them and put the old bulbs back in before I sold it since they were ~$150 for the pair.

New 'seat shop' drivers cushion installed yesterday. Reused the existing leather even if it's a bit worn.

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Forgot how "dim" and "yellow" factory low beams are.
Can't remember how bad the glare up top was before the vinyl though.

Passenger front door handle took a poop this morning. $50.00 at Advance and fixed in 20 min.

Also, filled up with ethanol free 89 oct gas locally. Nice find! Will see if I can get better than the 9 mpg I get in town on E85.

I usually drive a mix of city highway and since my BBP tune I drive with a heavier foot.

I get 13 in the city on e85

I think I loose some mpg with my 22” wheels and extra load tires. That plus my addiction to acceleration means poor mpg. Any idea the alcohol content of your fuel? Mine is usually over 70% here.

my foot is just heavy period, it used to be heavier but that gets expensive having to replace parts more. These vehicles can only take so much

If that’s not an OEM handle it probably won’t last.

It’s a Dorman part. I have one on the passenger rear too. Been on for almost two years with much use. I wanted to go OE but needed it fixed “now”. Maybe I can find some takeoff parts someday.

I actually heard Dorman fixed their design a few years back, they were probably replacing too many under warranty. I think it’s the cheap Chicom no-name ones off EBay that break right away. But my friend that owns a body shop won’t even paint one that’s not OEM anymore because he was tired of it.

Last I checked it was 76%

I was gonna say. My visual inspection of the replacement left me feeling like it was a quality unit. I stand corrected regarding the RR handle it is not a Dorman and of much cheaper quality. Still going after two years tho. The Dorman one seems stronger than the OE and I am considering replacing the driver door unit before it dies too.

I’m pretty sure it has to do with how hard people yank on them when opening the door too. Some people are just plain brutal.

My kids are brutal... Especially if I don't unlock it soon enough!
