I loved my Yellow Top in my 240sx years ago. What's wrong with Optima batteries, sunlit?
What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

the brand was transferred to a new owner basically and the quality of them has dropped. seeing more threads of people having theirs go bad in 1-2 years. maybe 3. 
use the strongest high batteries you can fit in your vehicle from interstate or sears. this is where i stand on batterys right now for the near future.

i shoud also not e the transfer happened in 2000 and the batts for a while were good but lately as the owner johsnons controls make some decent stuff as far as the batt is concerned they are basically a constructor and private labeler for other companies and have let the quality of materials used lack. i was hoping that as they became oem providers for hybrid cars things would improve but i just don't see the evidence of it yet in any significant amount.

Well, today I found out why the Tahoe has run like a wet turd and why it has been a monumental gas HOG...I had purchased a modded TBI unit when I first got the truck, and installed it. the pigging began...Then i picked up a edelbrock manifold cheap and put that all together, and the tbi unit never felt right on there. Seemed to bind up.. Tbi unit was for a 454...Problem solved...Replaced it today with a 350 one...not yet modded...
Runs like brand new...stumble and miss now gone, and got her old power back!

Yeah, the guy who sold it to me said it came off his truck with a 350. I didn't check it out, as I was happy to have a "modded TBI" unit. Believe it or not, it fit the factory intake just fine with no issues, but not the edelbrock.
Now I have a spare TBI for a 454...lol

swapped my new rims tires from the tahoe to the burb(looks good but forgot to add the tire size into the equation of lift and barely got out of the garage) after i finished the level kit, getting ready to order the new lift springs and flip kit for the u bolts for the 14 bolt 9.5 im going to be installing and getting rid of the blocks. nnbs rims look stupid on the tahoe but atleast theyre only on there while its being built.
