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

Awesome, I bet you’re relieved.

Dude!! It was a roller coaster!! But yes I'm relieved. Next weekend I might do the new brake calipers

Sold it, Tentatively..

Sold it, Tentatively..

Why?

Why?

Someone offered my asking price of 15k.

My back locked up the other day, and it took me forever to even get in the truck, like 25 minutes.. I hated feeling like a invalid at the mall. We werent home, so I could not just use the other car, and my wife is currently prohibited from driving.

This whole getting old thing sucks, and I am likely younger than most others on the board!

Topped off the gas with E85. Up to 78% ethanol now.

Have you tested it to see what it is at the rail?

Naah, I haven't tested it. My truck has the physical fuel composition sensor, and it seems to be fairly accurate. Just a feeling, though. When I run low-ethanol fuel the percentage drops below 10, and resets to a high number within a few miles after filling with high-ethanol fuel. I should probably get one of those testers and verify what I'm putting in it.

@Fless, what’s the reason behind tracking your ethanol content?

That's right. I forgot about the '800 having that. Lucky bass turd.

Just to see if/how the truck adjusts the percentage, and I like to familiarize myself with the Tech 2. Wish I could find a good ethanol PID for Torque Pro.

But for curiosity's sake I should do some kind of comparison with a known sample, since I'm not really certain that the fuel composition sensor value is accurate. Not that it matters much as long as the fuel trims adjust and I have that awesome feeling of power under foot. (As Dad would have said, the "foot-feed.")

Hey! I resemble that! Seriously, I really lucked out getting a good solid truck, not having done much research on them before I bought. I have learned a lot about them since, though, mostly on the shared experiences of this great TYF community.
