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

[swathdiver]

Picked up a 3.73 geared IFS in Fort Myers today. Circled Lake Okeechobee, up and over on the way and down and around on the way back. Took the 2013 6.2 Sierra, first time behind the wheel for so long, she's a nice ride and love the passing power of that glorious 6.2. Good on gas too!




Here's a pic of the donor, the salvage yard paid $3125 for it at auction:

Looks like a suitable location for the new one

I didn't realize the led lights still needed them. thought that was the old hid stuff.

unless you are running hid blinkers then yes you need resistors, the hybrids may not because the tail lights are led already I think.

oh, I was thinking headlights haha.

the hybrids are odd things, as they went up in trim levels they got less efficient stuff. the Tahoe might have got led lights, along with the aluminum hood, front aero and rear hatch aluminum with a fixed glass to save weight. the yukon got non of that.. the front air dam might be a touch lower, but it's got the cargo hooks, none of the aluminum body panels or no led anything. rear lights are wired differently, but same old school bulbs. the caddy got even less. for the first few years they got higher 3.73 gears and all. very weird of gm.

mostly marketing I'd guess, if you can afford the escalade you don't actually care about fuel costs, you just wanted the badge haha.

4th E85 fill up and all I can say is wow. I don’t think I can go back to even premium fuel again. What a huge difference. The thing even sounds better with the stock exhaust. Shifts better, and don’t even have to barely push down the peddle, even while on the highway. I had an 07 V8 grand Cherokee that was E85 and it ran a little better but nothing like this thing. Pics just because.

Mine weeped for over a year, just replaced it a few months ago. Not enough to leak onto the ground, just wet the radiator support and dry off.

Awesome! Experienced the same thing myself, 4 or more tanks for the computer to fully adjust and the motors love it. Like you said as well, even the transmission likes it!
