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

[kbuskill]

Installed a remote mount dual oil filter kit and oil cooler:

Now I can run bigger filters and they are easy to get to.

Also installed new LED fog lights with halos. I wired the halos to the DRLs because I got rid of the DRLs in the headlight housing and converted them to parking/turn signal lights and installed white/amber switchback LEDs in all 4 parking/turn signal spots up front:


New DRLs ^^^


Fogs and low beams ^^^


6 Hi (fogs, lows, and highs) ^^^

I also installed a 42" 800W curved LED light bar behind the grill and wired it up to my, previously unused (due to factory recall), heated washer fluid switch on the dash:


Here are some pics with the grill and bumper off:

In this pic ^^^ you can see the light bar and the new oil cooler on the passenger side, the bigger trans cooler is in the center.


This pic ^^^ shows the clearance between the light bar and the headlights.

The curved light bar fits behind the grill without any trimming necessary.

Nice, i wondered of a light would fit back there haha

Ditched the factory non-nav head unit in favor of a Rosen GM1210 unit and me likey!!! Sounds much better than stock through the Bose system. Still need to figure out all the settings and what not. And need to change the splash screen from Silverado to Tahoe.

What an easy install that was. Took maybe 30 minutes and everything works like they should. Turn signal clicks sound a bit funny, though.

Didn’t bother hooking up the rearview camera for now since it works fine in the mirror and my wife likes it there. Also didn’t hook the BT microphone as she doesn’t talk on the phone while driving.

I can do those later on if she wants me to. Really easy to take it apart now that I’ve done it once.

Nicely done! I have the same except mine is a 42” straight bar.

No way in hell a straight bar would fit on mine with the bigger transmission cooler I have.

I changed my oil cooler lines as well as replaced my rear hatch release button. I'll be doing DIC very soon.

Nice. What relocation kit did you get?
I've been pondering getting one myself.

Here is a link to the kit I bought:

I also bought some 90° 1/2" barbed fittings to keep the hoses from hanging down to far.

Here is another pic to show the mounting location:


Unfortunately it didn't drop my oil pressure like I had hoped it would.

Replaced plugs and wires this weekend. Had a cylinder #7 misfire. Running smooth again.

Does this look like detonation to anyone else?

I got into a minor accident last Monday. I have only owned the Tahoe for two months, but was rear-ended as the lead car in the a three-car accident. The Nissan Leaf behind me was hit by the car behind him. All damages are relatively minor, and all cars were able to be driven away. There were no injuries.

The body shop quoted me $952.00 for the bumper and hitch cover. It is mostly all labor after their estimated $300 in parts. They will have to determine if other damages exist to the hitch, spare tire components, etc., when they do the work. They said they are going to repair the bumper instead of replacing it, as a good used bumper would be too hard to source. This doesn't make sense to me, but that is how it works. Gotta love insurance companies. As long as it looks as good as it did two months ago when I bought it, and everything works correctly and is safe, it is all good. Sad to already have to deal with this on my new-to-me Tahoe, but it did take the hit well.

Just had the same type of accident in June and my estimate was very much the same ($900-950). Replacement bumper from RockAuto.com was $160, painted by local shop was $375. Put in in myself after they painted. Looks 100% and pocketed the rest. Just something to think about.
