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

[Rocket Man]

KOH trip to the desert
Camping trip to the desert
Hiking trip to the desert
Riding trip to the desert

Those are all desert trips to the desert. None are non-desert. Keep trying.

Did you have to plug anything in the OBD port for the HU to show that data?

no it's GPS data from the head unit just like my garmin has, only difference is I have never reset the trip on the Garmin, the pioneer records each trip and then saves it, after a few trips it overwrites the old trips when it runs out of memory, still can't believe I put 21k on this Garmin, I only use it for road trips where I might end up in a dead zone. You can get out here in the mountains and end up lost easy

I use an app called Sygic for offline navigation on both my Android head unit in our 2007 and my iPhone. Works really well. We often go to Snowshoe in West Virginia which is in the National Radio Quiet Zone because of the radio telescope nearby. We drive 4 hours to get there, with 2 of them over mountains with zero cell phone signal and few cars. Learned my lesson on the first trip . I stopped at a gas station in Monterey, Virginia and noticed the huge rack of road maps and atlases they had. I thought nothing of it until I got back in the truck to go and realized Google Maps was dead to me. Luckily at the time we were in our 2012 which still has the factory DVD-based nav, so I saved a few bucks.

I’ve not heard of that one. I use Gaia GPS for navigation. If you know you’re going to be offline, you can also download detailed maps, and map layers, then never miss a beat.

thinking of changing out my K&N FIPK, with a different air filter system, since I'm boost it with the Maggy, the tube wont fit...what's everybody running?

What you need may not be the same since you have the boost upgrades, but I went with the Airaid Jr. and it’s doing a better job than the old K&N I had in there. I went back to the OEM air box, changed out my foam with something denser and used 3M double sided tape on the fender side.
Airaid has a kit with an air box similar to OEM, but I haven’t see the performance specs using both their filter and the box.

In the event it hasn’t been mentioned already, make sure to buy a “non-oiled” filter. There’s no need to gum up the MAF sensor, the throttle body or anything else for that matter. Esp after all the work youve done.

My Whipple actually came with a high performance S&B oiled cotton filter as part of the kit. There’s nothing wrong with one if you follow the instructions and load the correct amount of oil, 77 grams in my case. Been running them for 10 years, NA and boosted and have never had a MAF problem. I have never heard of oil getting all the way to the TB from a filter. I’m sure the MAF would fail before that, if you somehow overloaded the filter that much but you’d really have to mess up. I think problems with oiled filters come from the cheap no-name ones that don’t even specify the quantity of oil to use so people just spray and spray until it’s soaked, plus they’re so porous that they don’t hold oil or do much filtering.

Yeah the Maggy came with a K&N stick filter, but I already had the FIPK, so now considering swapping it out with a closed top, like the Corsa. Just picking y'alls brains

The Corsa I am not familiar with.

I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the problem. Probably both…soaking it down heavily and a cheap filter. Or did they install it still soaking wet, then immediately start their vehicle right up?
More oil means better filtering right?

Have you ever looked inside the fender below that hole for the airbox? That area is kind of closed off and has a few louvers punched into the sheet metal. View attachment 360348

I have not. But I guarantee you it's not hurting for air volume and the temperature of that air is FAR lower than what a hacked-up air box would allow in. When idling for a few minutes, my IATs eventually got up to around 3° over ambient. When cruising, 1° at most and it dropped there almost immediately.

When I remove my inner liners to mod the sheet metal for tire clearance, I'll study that corner. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Finally got this installed. I couldn’t find accessory power in the drivers side door fuse box or by the brake pedal, so i tapped into the radio.
