    Transmission Temp 180

    No. Generally >240 is the danger zone. Mountain climbing, especially if you're punching it, will cause it to rise quite a bit. I used to have a Suburban 1500 when I lived in El Paso, and touched 200 degrees a few times while accelerating up Trans-Mountain. If the transmission temp rises while...

    Mid-life suburban maintenance?

    Agreed.. with 200k miles, the electrodes have got to be worn out. Eventually they'll fail and start causing misfires, only thing is you can't predict when. Best to change high mileage plugs while they're still firing fine.

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

    This was a few weeks ago but forgot to post it here. Finally changed out my tired old bump stops, which were original as far as I know with 145k miles on them.

    High milage 2015 for sale

    Glad to see some high-mileage K2XXs out there. I've found that sometimes dealers put up photos as soon as the vehicle is traded in to spark up interest, because more people tend to click on ads for vehicles with photos than those without. Then when it's gone through their detailing department...

    Lift, wheels tires done

    Looks great. Thank you for going with the small wheel/more sidewall look. Can you post a side shot?

    Future 2020/21 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban

    Still makes zero sense to me. GM's SUVs sell well with the solid rear. It's not a make-it-or-break-it for any buyers. The independent rear is more expensive, more complex, potentially reduces capability. I see no upside.

    Future 2020/21 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban

    I saw an Expedition commercial a few weeks ago where one of the lines was "redesigned to take on the Tahoe where it matters most." I thought that was kind of a dumb way to market it. Ford essentially admitted that their outgoing Expedition was inferior and that they had to play catch-up to make...

    2019 Suburban RST. First upgrades?

    Nice choice - any reason you didn't go for another Denali, since you were coming from a Denali?

    Looking for something for the front end....

    Pretty sure that it's a Buckstop. The best looking steel bumper for GMT900s in my opinion. I wanted one to put on my 2500.... until I saw the price. Be warned!

    1.5” or 2” rear lift?

    Depends on the look you're going for. I used to have a 1500 - put a 2" front kit on it, and a 1" spacer in the rear, and it sat level. After a few weeks I decided I preferred the raked look, so I took out the 1" spacer and replaced it with a 2". This brought the rear back to about 1" higher...

    2011 Suburban - Right turn "pop/clunk" but not all the time

    Thanks for the update. Sway bar end links seem to be a somewhat common issue on these.

    07 Burb Z71 tires

    There are some guys running 285/65R18s on NNBS trucks, but it requires at least a 2" level and some trimming of the front fender mount. 2" spacers can be installed under the shock without much trouble. I did it when I had a 1500, it took about an hour and a half with a helper. If you want to go...

    Need help with suspension

    Late reply, but which column bushing do you mean? I was looking at my steering shaft today from the column to the box, and it looks like the only wear parts on it are the two u-joints.

    New to Me - 2016 Yukon Xl Denali

    Are current gen Denalis offered with 4WD? I thought all Denalis were either AWD or RWD.

    285 75 18 w/level kit?

    If you were to actually take that Silverado offroad, I guarantee it would rub like hell with every turn and every uneven surface. No doubt the owner had to hack up the wheelwell to fit them as well. Tahoe has the same size wheelwells. So if you're willing to do that to your Tahoe, sure, you...

    New to Me - 2016 Yukon Xl Denali

    Sucks that you're having those issues. The stiff ride may be due to it having 22s, and also just due to it being a heavy BOF vehicle. I used to have a NNBS 1500, and even on 18s, it rode rough - rougher than most half ton crew cab pickups I have ridden in. I attributed it to the slightly shorter...

    Depreciation!

    My theory is that half ton SUVs depreciate quickly because there is less demand each year as more buyers move to pickups or crossovers. If you look at pickups especially, resale is great and depreciation is low because demand is always high.

    Welcome to the modern world Tahoe

    Most Silverados and Sierras are just mall crawlers too, so why don't they get IFS as well? As I said in the other future Tahoe thread, I'm disappointed in GM for going this route. When they put two different axles on two vehicles on the same exact platform, they are implicitly stating that one...

    Future 2020/21 Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban

    If IRS is so wonderful, and if it can be implemented without impacting towing or payload (as Ford claims, and as GM probably will claim in the future), then why isn't it used on the half ton pickups as well? Using two different axles on two vehicles on the SAME platform, which should have the...

    GMC Denali Coup !!!

    That one's not real, but some shop actually did this with a Suburban, then proceeded to ruin it with 24s.

    285/55/22's with level?

    K2XX Sierra/Silverado and K2XX Yukon/Tahoe have the same size wheelwells, so if that's the case, you can expect to trim as much as the guys who had them installed on their Sierras.

    Pricing a 2007 3/4

    At a glance, it seems on par with the market. 2500s retain value like crazy. Worth it if it's 4x4, great shape, but remember (as others have mentioned) that 2007 2500s had the 4L80E. For comparison, I got my 2010 LT w/ most options and 143k for 17k. I felt I got a good deal. It needed a new...

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    Looks good, are those 285/70R17s? I'd also recommend getting rid of the pinstripe, since pinstripes scream "grandpa truck" to me, but that's just my opinion.

    @kbuskill, that's a huge help, thanks so much! I'll go ahead and order it. I'll post up here again if I have any trouble.
