What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[swathdiver]

Yes... but only for a few seconds... it is a self check for the compressor. Also, as I mentioned, it dumps everytime I park the truck and turn it off.

This is exactly how our three Pontiac Montanas operated. The compressors on these are a little larger and have a fitting that goes into the passenger compartment that allows one to fill up footballs, the tires, pools toys, etc. Escapes me why GM didn't offer this on the big trucks. I looked into retrofitting this kind of compressor on my truck but it was cheaper to pick up a compressor from the Hybrids; just not as cool!

The price one pays for living in paradise! hehehe

What does an inspection consist of these days? We haven't had them since our last Democrat governor who left office in January of '99, praise the Lord! Back then they'd stick a mirror underneath to make sure you had a cat, a sniffer in the tailpipe. Earlier, in the '70s and early '80s they would also test the brakes.

On our Buick GNs, we hollowed out the cat and lowered the fuel pressure to where they were barely idling, like 30 psi, and that was enough to pass. We all had limo tint too, just left the windows down, don't remember us ever having problems with that either. I loved goosing the engine on the dyno rollers and scaring the inspectors! Boy, I haven't thought of this stuff in decades.

OBDII hookup to make sure everything is on the up and up, visual that all parts are there, take minimum of 1 tire off to check brakes, horn, lights, wipers.... not really too sure tho.. my guy just hooks up scanner that is connected to NYS database and yes’s all the questions.. no CEL and im good to go. He got busted for passing someone for tint so he kinda cares about... no big deal for me ill just slap it back on... $21 and done

that's funny here they just plug it in the computer, look under the bottom to be sure you have cats, if there's no codes pending or set then your done in less than 5 min. they could care less otherwise.

Hey Wes, do you have California Emissions, RPO NU5? Do your cats have CARB numbers on them or anything? I forgot that my truck has NU5 when I bought Federal cats for it and trying to see if there's any kind of difference to no avail.

I'd have to check when I get back home but the cats do have to have the right number on them

Ok, my originals and the Magnaflows have no numbers on them. I wonder if that is the only difference.

Hmm, let me think for a second, no, don't remember my originals having any numbers on them, but my memory is not the greatest.
