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

[Tonyrodz]

Drove it this morning, started in "reduced engine power mode." So I stopped, reset the codes with my scanner, and drove on like nothing was broken. Funniest "repair" I've ever made.

When my 03 did it constantly--before I finally fixed it--I had a cheap dedicated scanner constantly plugged into the obd. I'd have it ready to clear the code as soon as it would pop up. Worked every time--and it would come back every time. Real PITA--nevermind it being dangerous and happening at the worst time.

Yikes! So how DID you fix the issue?

I wonder if @S33k3r has thought of, or even have the option to just do a drive by cable swap? Just thinking out loud here?

1st a replaced the plug for the tb. They're a known issue for having the copper wires breaking inside the insulation. That fixed it for awhile. Then it started again. This time it was the ground on the ds below the running board. I cleaned it up and it's been good for a few years now. I bet I just jinxed myself now....

How much of a difference did the Killmat make? I'm planning to do the same thing to mine over the winter.

I only did the floor under the first 2 rows and the pillars between the doors. It is much quieter, I wish I had done it earlier.

oil change with full synthetic 5W-30 and a new ChampXL oil filter...currently at 80K miles...

I've settled on 5K miles for oil changes and thus far it does not appear my 6.0 uses any oil between changes with the oil appearing to be a light, iced tea color when time for an oil change...this 6.0 seems to be running very well for me over my first 15 months of ownership...
