What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[TheAutumnWind]

I got my Vinci Trucker cam, dual valve springs and hardened pushrods today. That completes the parts list for my cam and valve train upgrade. After that I'll have to get a new tune from BB and a smaller pulley from Whipple.

Omg ya basterd. Im so jealous. Excited to see how this works for you.

Previous best on a similar (mostly freeway) trip was 16.8 mpg.
That was before adding the air dam extension, but I would think the lowering (3/5") would be responsible for most of the improvement.

Thats pretty good for highway on these big old rigs. My esky is saying 12.5 ish now, but its mostly around town driving getting the kids to school and stuff.

I have not been on here in awhile... Lost my job... Boo. So ive been busy doing side jobs and looking for permanent work. Plus the infant and travel softball has kept me busy.

Did get a few minutes to trim the rear bumpstops (way too tall on the platinum esky) and add a cabin filter today though.

Ride is better already. Honestly the platinum escalade should have the free travel mod stock i think. It sits a few inches shorter in the rear then the non z71 suburban. About the same as my spring trimmed denali, and yet they all run the same rear bump stop.... Stupid.

Since it's been awhile since you've been on, did you miss my blower install? Now THAT was fun. Also, sorry to hear about the job but sometimes something better comes about that wouldn't if you were still at the same job, so I'm hoping this works out better for you in the long run.

Yeah, fun.... We all had about 3 heart attacks in a week. It was awesome.

Im sure it will. Id been considering looking for a new employer for awhile. I can make similar money on the side, its irregular work though and no insurance is not a good thing.
