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

I get 10-12 mpg in town doing lots of stop and GO! I wonder if I changed my driving style??? NAH... Stomp n' Steer!

I’ve seen some mention of a $100 awning from NAPA @Tonyrodz . Check YouTube.

I was looking for one, but they’re out of stock.

Has anyone who does any kind of towing swapped out their foldable lighted OEM mirrors for something better suited for towing a trailer? Either doubles or an extended setup that still works with the mirror switch? I have a set of the molded “clip on” style that work fine, but I’m looking for something different.

Swapping to the factory tow mirrors was/is a big thing, at least in my parts. Power/heated/signal/folding mirrors were unicorns and priced accordingly.

the only time I got better mileage was when the Silverado was lowered, I was getting 15-20+ all the time, driving the exact same way. after the lift it halved the mileage, that was all aerodynamics

I accelerate hard all the time.

I can get it down to 7.5/8 average if I try harder
that's bringing back memories I used to transfer cars from los angeles to san diego for a rental car company, crazy days back then they would take a van full of us to LA and we would race back, lol always had extra time to go cruising the beach and stuff before I had to turn the car in. We used to transfer ryder trucks back then too and we figured out how to disable the speed limiter fun times...

maybe, I get the same in the silverado which is a 5.3 6l80 (l83), for me to get 11 mph I would have to slow waaaay down
it's just a bad habit

That l83 is the aluminum 5.3 right?

I towed my car on a uhaul car trailer. Not the dolly. Used regular mirrors just fine in my NBS. Have yet to tow with this but I don’t see myself getting different mirrors or anything to do so. I was able to see everything needed with the mirrors the truck came with.

i'm not sure I never checked into it, it is the direct injected motor l83/l86 that they put in the k2xx's, there supposed to get a pinch better gas mileage

They are out there, my 2010 came with them. Be ready for blindspots especially at 4 way stops
