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

    yep.. while it's more pointy, all the way forward feels about like the fixed back. doesn't look like it thou. be interesting to see what you think. i might pull it apart and see how the inside looks.

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

    I say minor since it's just old age too and mostly used to it. nothing I'd get surgery to fix. Trampoline injury as a little kid. life time of arthritis, BMX crashes and bad posture catching up to me. being tall doesn't help much either lol. some pics.. I'd say it's a touch better it not a...

    haven't popped it in yet. when i asked if they had a passenger side they said not currently but they arw the same for both sides. like you say, gm things. I saw a article years ago talking about the last gm car with an adjustable head rest. they are completely phased out at this point. while...

    Dual Batteries installation.

    to me the best alt is the oem 220amp direct bolt on. part number 13536552. can be had used off ebay with low mileage for under 100$ or any auto parts store. the corvette guys love the high priced mech man stuff, I'm not a fan. they seem to have a high fail rate to cost to me. and unless they...

    weak hybrid battery, hood switch mod.

    so I have seen this talked about but never actually done. so I decided to try it for a while and see how it works. I can say it works perfectly. so back story for those they don't know. the main hybrid battery pack runs just about everything and gm designed the air cooling system badly, as in...

    Emissions Test Issue

    I don't remember what code it was exactly but one for small leak. I only got it after putting a new oem canister on mine. it would take months to set the light. turns out my new gm part was bad but just saying you are correct. I could drive a month of normal routine and never set a light because...

    yes, I believe you could take 2 different part numbers of the same brand and run the same tests and get different results. lucky ls don't really have filter issues like some of the German cars do. this is all nonsense. just keep the oil fresh.

    if have to go back and look but I believe when he shows his personal cars like the Toyota with the 0w8 he uses oem filters. when they have a dyno engine in the back ground they are going to run a constant high rpm 2 hour oil test on its a xp filter. but that's is interesting. I'll have to keep...

    less volume flowing thru, less pressure lose but as shown in the test rig at the youtube videos. any normal filter is in bypass by 70psi worth of flow and isn't doing crap. so I would bet that pressure difference is in how well the bypass valve is designed. they really should have shown the...

    Wix v NAPA Gold

    I believe what you're looking for is in the youtube videos. they use a lab clean oil that's the same viscosity at room temperature as the oil we use is at 200deg and then run different sizes particles thru them for a set time, pull a sample and send it to a lab. and then list how much if each...

    Having real issues with my HyHoe...

    listening again are you sure the engine is even started and running? the way the electric motor spins the engine over so fast, it has tricked a lot of people into thinking it's running for about 10sec and then dying. but really it never started. the sound makes me wonder if the engine isn't...

    Mysterious Oil Pan Findings

    I've had the oil pan off an ls, and with an inspection mirror you can see all of the cam lobes from the bottom. I checked my ls3 car when I did the oil pan gasket. I still think this was a previous rocker arm issue they replaced. but it's worth looking up at the cam, even thou it's new and...

    Are motor mounts easy to replace with exhaust manifolds removed?

    if you've got a mig welder, you'll be fine. I've removed a few but just tack some weld on it and unscrew it with pliers. mine of always come right out. just make sure you disconnect the battery before welding anything oh and if you haven't seen the motor mount thread above. the hummer mounts...

    gotta remember none of this actually matters, just change your oil. but I blame this forum for this lol. I was a simple throw a wix on it guy too, as it's also what we always use at work, and I've never seen a oil filter related engine failure. now these guys do a pretty good job of testing it...

    it's a ribbit hole but donjetman posts links to a few of the tests. the rest is on bob the oil guy or whatever it's called forum. Basically amsoil, k&n, the top of the line fram and mobil. off the top of my head. the 2nd down fram is considered the best value per dollar. but again, it probably...

    Wix v NAPA Gold

    we buy tons of napa filters and wix filters from different vendors. it seems like some part numbers are the same filter and some aren't. I feel like napa rebrands whatever is the cheapest in that part number. so I don't know if the ls filter is a wix or not since we don't have anything in the...
