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

[CJ Rodarme]

Well I'll be damned, I guess I need to get into the lithium game if its putting up numbers like that for that cheap. And at maximum I really would only need around 5k if I build upon this setup. Are they safe though?

anyways, finally got off my ass today and installed my 2nd pair of retrofits

I made a new set for 2 reasons:

1) I hate the amber reflector on the OEM housings
2) I spent like 16 hours on my first set, and wanted to prove to myself that I could do a better job the second time.

My initial cutoff was:



and now it is:



and my long awaited DIY video:

She's a bit fatter than I thought

I always figured around 5400 with me in it. Granted 25lbs of this are scrap, so call it 5900 even. Subtract 200 when I walk my fat ass out

SWB or LWB? My burb is ~5400ish with a 1/4 tank iirc

Thanks for the input. The Mechman was a 240 amp for only $189 so even if I go with something else I can probably sell for a profit. I'll definitely look into CES. And as far as lithium batteries I don't have any knowledge on them but the most I'll probably go is another amp strapped but run them low so I am not sure if I'll have a need. Maybe a recone down the road as well but I don't have any desire to atm. As is the system is a little much for me and for normal listening I'm at around 1/2 volume on the head unit and about 1/3-1/2 on the bass knob. My door inserts and locks are falling out lol. And as far as the facebook group I'm not on facebook yet but I'm going to get one soon. I'm hoping to go to a show sometime soon, once I really get the system dialed in.

Shoot me a PM if you have any questions about lithium Batts.

I built a 1600 amp hour 16.8v lithium bank out of a Nissan leaf battery once upon a time

 

[ArcticYukon]

Yes. Rpo code DL3.

Nice!

Can't do it in mine though unless I get rid of the traction control button... and that ain't happenin'!

No idea. Power mirrors work, and the lit turn signals work, but not the power folding feature. I def have the right switch for it.View attachment 218633
I don't think it's like the nnbs where the feature would need to be programmed into the bcm.

You've probably checked but it's there a separate fuse for the folding portion?

2004 Z71 Suburban Green I have a few upgrades done.

Doubt it. All that's needed are the mirrors and the proper powerfold mirror switch. Everything should be pnp. @95escahoe threw me for a loop tho when said something about the mirrors might need to be reset if they were manually pushed in. Never heard of that one before.
