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

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

I took my spare tire and third row seats out a long while back. I’m not worried about the weight since I have more weight in tools sitting in the back than the third row and spare tire combined.
Having the tire gone makes a HUGE difference when doing any rear end work (Diff fluid, shocks, back up sensors…etc).

I'd like to move my spare to gain departure angle, but i have no good place to put it yet.

just put it back on, be sure it is on all the way and the clip is on properly

Thats what I did. Stayed on for the last 100 mi. Hope all is good.

Likewise. I’ve got a Rigd hitch swing in mind, but weight and $$$$ are slowing that down.

So how accurate is whatever device you're using as a performance meter? Have you ran it at a track with this meter at the same time to compare accuracy?

I used to have a GtechPro, the first model that looked like a radar detector, back in the mid-late 90s (before smartphones and gps), and it was pretty accurate as long as you had the correct vehicle weight entered. It was about 3 tenths and 5 mph off in the 1/4 pretty constantly.

You just reminded me that I have a Beltronics FX-2 and never used it. Bought it from a pissed-off mom for $20, waaay back in the early days of Craigslist. Her son got busted racing his car that she bought so she took it back. She sold the GTech cuz it bothered her being in her field of vision on the windshield.

It’s the only way to fully bleed/flush/purge the system. There are other OBD scanners who claim they can do the ABS bleed. They are also the same ones who claim they can do a throttle body relearn, but I have yet to see one that can do either of them fully/properly like the Tech2.

Weeeeell... it's not the only way. I'm too tight to buy specialty tools I'll rarely use and probably lose before I ever use them again. I cycle the key on during the downstroke of the brake pedal. The ABS solenoids are activated as part of the system test. With the system under pressure and the fluid being pushed downstream, the old fluid quickly gets pushed out and chased by the new fluid. I do this about five times per corner during my one-man bleeding process. It's never failed me and only costs a little bit of battery power.

Battery replaced for free, all seems good. Replaced master cylinder and bled the whole system. All seems good. Sometimes a blind squirrel fins a nut. Been working my balls off hard. Time for some cold ones. Finally a nice cool night to wind down to. Pleasant evening to everyone. Cheers.

Added Freon to both twins, because summer.

Great info. Some day I hope to graduate to your level. Good to see you. >>>Hugs<<<

I wouldn't consider it "graduating". My kind of ingenuity is born out of poverty. lol

It's a few levels of "MacGuyevery" above my intellect. I respect that and yearn to learn.
