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

    Did you have to add hub spacers to fit those ? I added some from Little Shop on my SFBD 08 Silverado when I did my Wilwoods but I’m running Intro wheels with way different offset from what you have. Hard to tell but it looks like you’re pretty damn close to the fender lip. I like being able to...

    5/7 drop 2007-2014

    I know it’s kind of late since you already ordered the kit, but I just ordered parts for a 2/4 drop on my 08 Tahoe. For the rear, I just went with 4” drop springs and shock relocators. I recently installed new Arnott rear auto level shocks and a Dorman compressor and plan on keeping the auto...

    2001 GMC Yukon XL (Aka Beast)

    I didn’t know you had the 8.1, my bad. I don’t see the Fram ultra for that engine. I’d go with a Wix in that case. Either their standard for regular oil or if you’re running synthetic oil, their XP. I see your engine type in your signature now.

    Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

    Finally got a break in the weather today so I installed the new rotors and pads. The lowering springs and shock relocators were supposed to be delivered yesterday via FedEx and then it was changed to today and now they say “weather delay” even though they’re in town and the weather is nice. So...

    headlamps

    I agree and I will say that there have been times that I thought I had the holes lined up when I inserted the pins, only to take a second look and see the bottom holes were NOT lined up, resulting in mis-aimed and loose headlights. So, @Knucklehead1 I suggest rechecking your work and be...

    Does the part number have to match?

    Oh yeah duh. I forgot those exist, coming from my 02 with an NVG249 transfer case which has no electronics so no TCCM. I guess the 08 I just bought has one though.

    What happened?

    That’s awesome, sounds good. If by snorkel you mean the cold air intake then yes you will get a CEL because the MAF isn’t reading the airflow. Sounds like the water pump just went south real quick which they do sometimes. If so, that’s an easy fix. :happy107:

    Best oil filters to help with oil pressure?

    All the yahoos here on this forum. That’s why I started using them, I read it here on the forum. But like the age old discussions about many things here, it seems to be one of those where much is discussed and there seems to never be a consensus. Sometime awhile back I read a bunch of people...

    No. The Ultra.

    Does the part number have to match?

    What is a TCCM? I see a TCU (transmission control unit) on Rock Auto and GM parts Giant, PN 24252114.

    Best oil filters to help with oil pressure?

    I thought the Fram Ultra was recommended by all. That’s what I’ve been running lately on both my 02 and 08 and both have great oil pressure.

    Make sure it’s the Fram Ultra. The regular Fram isn’t all that great. The Wix filters are great too.

    What happened?

    Also, if there’s no coolant in the engine the sensor wont work properly. It senses coolant temp, not block temp. You said the truck was losing power right before you got it home, so I was wondering. Have you started it afterwards to listen for engine damage? You can remove the serpentine belt so...

    What happened?

    Next time, maybe consider an Uber for that short trip home and come back for your rig the next day. Limping a vehicle home when it’s overheated might cost you an engine, and if you can’t afford a tow truck you sure as hell can’t afford an engine. Hope you didn’t do any serious damage and it’s as...
