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

[Sam Harris]

I converted my brake lights to LED with the resistor installation. It's a little more crowded in the barn door tail light area than the lift backs. I also discovered my 3rd brake light isn't working. I ordered a new one. Yet another thing that is different on the barn doors.

Pics....? Didn’t happen

I'm tracing down an intermittent battery drain and, in the process, noticed that the push button on the gauge cluster doesn't activate the mileage display when the truck is not running. I keep mine in the garage with the driver's window down, and can reach in and push the button, but no mileage display comes on. I did have my cluster re-done with stepper motors, tranny gauge, and LED backlights, so there's that.

I know that the clusters can cause parasitic drain but mine's not doing that.

So, a question for those of you who have a '03-06 GMT800 with a standard cluster... does your button activate the mileage display if you press it while the truck is "asleep"?

I have a rebuilt Esky cluster, done the same way as yours and mine doesn't do anything when it's off either. I know you said a standard cluster, but I'm giving my .02

Thanks, Tony, I suspect it's just "the way it is" but will await other responses, if any.

So you leave the window down, let the truck lights timeout, then reach in, and push the mileage button..?

And I have to ask....why?

You have to ask......"Why Not"?

Yes. That's the way I understood that it worked, to be able to check the mileage without the key.
