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

Truth! You and I both know a guy like this.

Looks like my son. I don't think he ownes a pair of long pants. He's in his 3rd year at Mizzou, and just about every kid there looks just like that whenever I've been there to visit, but he's missing a ball cap. My son wears one all the time, I think he sleeps in it.

Currently 6* here. Supposed to be highs in the low 20s through Thursday, then only in the low teens through the weekend.

Back when I was at Iowa State in the early ‘90’s we had the same thing.

Cold here right now. Might get to 0*F this afternoon.

You guys can have that cold. I can’t take it. We have had a mild winter here in the PNW this year, it’s only got below freezing a few nights and we got one light dusting of snow that melted immediately. There have been some fairly cold winters but nothing like you guys get.

I’m considering pluggin mine in before I have to run to Ace hardware. But I have 5W -30 synthetic on board and it’s only minus 15 right now.

I have the OEM block heater but never used it and I was wondering- does the heater blow warm air immediately after you start it when you use the block heater?

My truck was pretty sluggish when I started it this morning. Never had a block heater on any of my vehicles.

I don’t know about the plug style ones but I had one of these on a previous truck and it was awesome.

The OE block heaters have a built-in thermostat. I don't see at what temp they turn on; my Owner's Manual says it's "not required" with temps above freezing, but it can help with starting when it's below 0° F. Mine's an NBS but I would think NNBS would be similar.

My question is about whether the hvac will blow warm air immediately after I start it instead of a mile down the road if I use the block heater but I also never thought about it having a thermostat. And it’s a NBS if that matters. I see that one warms and circulates the coolant so I’m guessing it would.
