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

[CMoore711]

what on earth is 88? is that some e based stuff, or just out of order mix between 87 and 89?

I honestly don't know... It's a blend that I've only seen available at various Casey's gas stations.

I've heard 88 is only available in the higher altitude states. I've never seen it offered in the northeast.

“Unleaded 88 is a fuel for gasoline-powered vehicles containing 15% ethanol. It gets its name from its octane rating of 88. Unleaded 88 is often referred to as E15 because of its 15% ethanol concentration.”

Yep. It’s right there next to regular 85.

 

[Charlie207]

Do the math on your fillups, it might be cheaper to use 87 then a bottle of additive to get the octane number where you want it.

I've never used black magic in a bottle. What are some quality additives?

ahh so it's 87 with 5% more e in it. weird.

You can get 88 here in WY.
I live at about 5,000 feet elevation.
Many stations even offer 85, which I have never seen at stations in lower altitudes.

But, 88 is still too low an octane level to use in my Yukon with the 6.2.

 

[George B]

We have 88 here in WI as well. Good bang for the buck. No real mileage hit and a touch better running.

@mikez71 did you get yours installed?

What did you replace these with? Standard (non-adjust) black leather headrest?

I went from stock 2011 non adjustable to adjustable from earlier years. like 07-08

yeah normal yukon denali black leather.

I think this one said Escalade on the listing. the leather texture is a touch different. but I also haven't cleaned it and added any conditioner yet.

What is your plan for the old ones? Previous owner did a leather seat kit for the 2 fronts but left the cloth headrest.

oh sorry, I only found one of them so far to buy and am going to keep the standard one for now. should be a few one ebay thou.

I paid like 50$ shipped for this one.

New biscuits for the rig. Guys at the shop liked the cam chop and since I was the only one there we shot the breeze for a bit about the rebuilt engine/cam/tune stuff. Not like I particularly wanted to rush home to resume working.

Tire specs...

Thinking I want to clean and add some color to the wheels over the winter, after I swap the studs & steelies on. Bronze always seemed to look good?

No worries - never hurts to ask as it's still free, for now!

Ordered the TEMU package. rear mid console knobs for 5 bucks a pair? Yes please. Also grabbed a pair of second row pilot seat armrest plugs, a funky looking set of stickers claiming to restore the front AC cluster buttons to original beauty (highly doubt it). As a grand finisher, a plastic "shelf" that's form-fit into the mid console itself, adding a nifty layer to drop your phone and whatever into without them going into the void. Probably should have went with a dashboard cover but I had a golden rule; the junkyard guy wanted to charge me 20€ for just one tiny piece of plastic so i wanted to see what all else I could get for that price, knob included.

Spoiler: the infamous missing knob

Ordered the TEMU package…

“The TEMU package”. That’s funny right there. Hope everything shows up and works out ok.

On the bright side you still have this outlet cover:

Which I had fully intact until just 2 weeks ago when one of my kids school book bags took it out…

all 3 or mine are broken hinge and just clipped on.

I might end up trying to replace them with USB style plugs. the old cigarette lighter hole looks pretty bad without a cover.

Never fails to work, windows down, music playing (Metallica) still out cold, lol
