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

Gu6 here too haha. Is that gearing good ?

Depends on how you define good. It's pretty nice if you're cruising on the highway. Around town, it's a bit of a dog, but not horrible. I liked my 3.73 better overall. Wheel /tire size play a large role here, too. The bigger you go on the 3.42, the more you'll notice it being sluggish.

With the 6 speed transmission It is "supposed" to be the same as 4.10. The only way to get better gearing is the 2500 6.0 or put it in yourself. I have heard of people having 3.73 with the 6 speed but I have not seen it.

I reset mine every fill up as well. Not sure how else to get an accurate mpg count besides the dic.

You could do it the old school way: Reset the trip odometer when you fill up then divide the number of miles it reads by the number of gallons it takes to fill up again. I used to do this religiously with my S10. I'd fill up at the same pump and let it go until the pump clicked off instead of clicking it off a few times because that would skew the numbers with more variables. I calculated it myself a few times when I first got my Tahoe but quit when I found the DIC info to be close enough to my calculations.

I still do this with my 02 suburban and my wife's 2010 Yukon XL Denali. I have averaged 13.5 over 50k with some towing our 6500# camper and 2 winters in upstate New York with horrible winter gas with the denali.

I would LOVE to have a 6-speed. After having 6-speed transmissions in my work vans, I HATE having only 4. It's either lugging or tach'ed out. Mine has the 3.73, I don't even wanna try to imagine it with a 3.42.

In my 02 suburban I have 3.73 with the 4 speed and I just towed the camper 600 miles and that's exactly how it was the whole trip.

New weatherstripping on driver front door. Last one to do is the passenger front then maybe the rear liftgate.

Oil change while on the clock. Got to love it.


Drained my catch can and I got this out of it. I noticed that the seal on the bottom cap and drain was leaking a tad so probably lost a drop or two.

Heck yea kenny, thats what i do when its slow haha.


When the tahoe i have now was traded in, i looked it all over in and out. Bought it and then took 3 days to clean and buff, stripped the badges, side moulding. Painted the bowties and grill, took off side steps...lol
