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

[Geotrash]

Will trimming the shroud apply to the electric fans that I have? (vs. mechanical fan shroud?)

It looks like my shroud is already flush with the back of the radiator. I'll have to go out an poke around some more to verify.

Yes, mine has electric fans, too (it's a 2012). But the part you have to trim isn't visible in your photo - it's the top and bottom of the fan shroud. There's a strip of plastic that seals against the top and bottom of the coils. You can see it in this pic along the left side of the image and in the bottom right of it as well:

I just bought a Coldcase in January. I did not need to trim the fan shroud at all, the way others had to in the past. The end tanks on mine also look bigger, so I'm thinking a running design change has been made.

Correct, the Chevy Forum Decoder has 3.08 listed. I'll get a snapshot later and update this post with the Chevy Forum data.

I think the issue there is it does not know if the vehicle has k5l or not, on the last page under "tech specs" it shows 3.42 being a option to 3.08
that's dependent on if it had k5l or not

I am probably going order one before summer hits, did you need to do anything with the return line to the reservoir tank? where did you order it from?

That tells me something about the company, accepting feedback and actually improving their product vs just going for a money grab.

Then there was the cost of the mishimoto one, not worth it IMO.
Factory radiator can be had for $200 (+/-).
I'm willing to spend a little extra for a nicer one, so i did.

I ordered it from Summit, and had it in two days.

For the return, I went ahead and cut the nipple from the old radiator, then cut it down to slip into the hose. The actual orifice is about 1/8”.

It looks like the Cold Case unit is $464 w/shipping.

The AlloyWorks is $269 w/free shipping.

Is the Cold Case worth the extra $200? Is the AlloyWorks going to last?

Weird. The AlloyWorks price may fluctuate depending on how many clicks it gets. When I checked just now (3 hours later than you posted), the price was $299.

A very "Chinese seller" thing to do.

Here's what I have, it's just sitting in the cart. Unless someone says this is a big mistake, I'll probably buy it.

There are two sources for this radiator mentioned in this thread, the direct-from-company link, and the Amazon link.
