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

    Cleaned puppy spew off of the front passenger seat. Wish I had noticed last night when it was fresher, then it wouldnt have had so long to soak in... I wonder if that smell will ever fully go away.

    tpms problems with reset

    +1 for this. There was probably an issue when you reset it. The TPMS sensors with rubber valve stems don't always take when you use the 'let air out' method.

    broke down on the way to the tire shop

    I was trying to do too many things at once yesterday and gave slightly bad advice. It is best to not reuse the old hose when those ends are leaking. Acquire some good oil resistant hose. (I usually look for hydraulic line because it is rated for and will withstand more than it will see in...

    Convert 07 Tahoe 2X4 to 6.2 possible, or newer 09-14 engine possible?

    Expect the worse, hope for the best and every surprise will be a pleasant one. Or so I am told.

    broke down on the way to the tire shop

    You can fix those with out ordering new. You will need a hose clamp for each end and a can or two of brake clean. Use a dremel type tool to cut the aluminum off over the ends of the hose. pull the hose off of the end --- Expect oil to come out. Clean off the end of the metal tube and the...

    Convert 07 Tahoe 2X4 to 6.2 possible, or newer 09-14 engine possible?

    Having never replaced an oil pump on a 5.3, I am not the one to offer advice. Having said that I found a thread on another forum that indicates that you do not need to mess with the actual timing. You only need to pull the timing cover and maybe oil pan. I also would not look at replacing the...

    Rough Idle and Bad MPGs

    Try cleaning your throttle body. They tend to build up carbon and cause the computer to have issues adjusting airflow which gives you a crappy idle.

    New System Options

    They recently released google maps with an offline mode, haven't had a chance to use it, but it might work with the android units and has me wanting to give one a try. If only there weren't some many other things that I want to get/do to the 'Burban first.

    07 Tahoe having trouble cranking

    I have experienced a fuel pump failing, where the only the only noticeable symptom was slightly longer crank times. We didn't find it until we checked fuel pressure. A few tanks of E85 also gave me similar symptoms, since I hadn't done anything to clean out the system before trying to make...

    Rough Idle and Bad MPGs

    Did you check your fuel pressure? Have you cleaned your throttle body?

    New to the club - just purchased '09 Tahoe LT

    Welcome! A tune is personal preference. Depending on how big our boat is, it might help. If you decide to have the AFM disabled, you will have to get it done aftermarket and might as well get a tune then. Remember that it isn't a Duramax, and you wont have too many issues towing. From what...

    can someone recommend me a set of tires

    I liked the factory Goodyear tires for the first 15k, after that they could get interesting in the snow, but they were the only tire that I ran on the Tahoe. +1 to what scryfst said. From what you said, a dedicated snow tire is probably the best route for you. For a big SUV, I prefer a good...

    Convert 07 Tahoe 2X4 to 6.2 possible, or newer 09-14 engine possible?

    The quick answer is that anything is possible if you throw enough time and money at it. People have been swapping the duramax/allison combo into these for years now, so another engine that comes out of the same body style is very do-able. The problem is that it might take more than just...

    Poor cluster visibility

    After buying the suburban with one of those carpeted dash mats to cover the cracks. I've noticed that my head lights are on all of the time. Looking closer the mat blocks much of the light to the dash light sensor. It made me think that you could try using various sized pieces of electrical...

    A/C Problems

    This is a know problem on these SUVs and there should be a TSB floating around on it. There are three possibilities: The motor, the controller (these use controllers rather than resistors) or the wiring at the connector. The TSB is directed at the melting wires/connector at the controller...

    US Speedo Black Ops

    Don't have one, but it definitely looks like the back lights are always on when the key is on. I would also be curious about how bright it is at night.

    2011 Tahoe AFM rebuild

    Rebuilding your engine back to anything other than stock would probably affect your resale value. Up or down will depend on the buyer. That being said, if you are planning to delete the AFM anyways, keep you 'truck' for a while and don't care to/ intend to ever reenable the AFM, then I would...

    LT Tires and DIC message

    This might not be very helpful, but my 2500 Suburban runs tire pressures in the 50's or 60's and the TPMS is looking for that. I can't tell you if it is in the sensors or in the computer, but I would guess the computer.

    2007 Yukon XL - Rear defrost coils detach

    +1 on 'stretching' the coils in the wire out. I would also try a piece of heat shrink for electrical wire over the connection. It might grab enough of the tab to keep the connector from coming off. I had the opposite issue in my Tahoe, that tabs themselves kept getting pulled off. I dunno...

    can you disable something in the dic

    Maybe I am just really bad at ignoring my cluster, but I only see that message when I first start the engine and when it goes away or is acknowledged I do not see it again. This was true for any trip I have taken since I got this Suburban on Sat, and from the Tahoe that I traded in.

    Rough Idle and Bad MPGs

    To call E85 garbage is, I think, unfair. It is less expensive, but you burn more of it to typically get the same net emissions. It's advantage is that it is renewable to a point. Feed E-85 to a car with a turbo or super charger and you will feel that car really wake up. I also think that...

    Rough Idle and Bad MPGs

    In the past, a clogged filter usually gave me better mileage before I changed it or it killed the pump. In most of my previous vehicles, the fuel filter was an annual maintenance item. I understand that changing one on one of these trucks is a little more challenging, but I never got around to...

    Sirius XM receiver

    My new ride doesn't have an XM receiver so I called sirius today to cancel before my subscription renews for next month. I told then that I was canceling because I sold the ride with XM and the replacement doesn't have an XM receiver. They offered me a XM receiver for $8 shipping so I could...

    Updated to a newer NNBS.

    Old: New: For some reason I have cloth front seats, a vinyl 2nd row, and the brackets for the 3rd row removed. The cloth has made the absence of seat heaters easier to take sitting down, and the vinyl will be better for the rug rats in the back.

    installed a txdashcover dash cap

    Thanks I was already at their site looking around and saw the sale. I was wondering if you went with the black or with the ebony. Funny always figured that those were two different words for the same color. It is a little difficult to tell from the pictures, but how shiny is the cover? did...
