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

It's that plastic crap going down to the bed.

It's like someone took a burb/xl/esv and cut the roof line behind the rear doors, then used cheap plastic trim to cover the edges of the cuts. And let's not forget the 2' of roof rack you get, lol

Yeah I wasn't expecting those responses either lol.

I like the Avalanche. I almost bought one. I wanted a '13 only Black Diamond edition because the plastic was painted body color. In my opinion they should have all come that way. I liked the idea of being able to carry sheet goods, and having a built-in bed cover.

But once I drove a Yukon, I found I preferred the shorter wheelbase. And finding a 6.2L Avalanche (or the Caddy version) was nearly impossible. The final nail in the coffin was that both Avalanches I test drove had leaks around the rear window.

I’ve hauled tons of sheet goods in my 02 Denali. Plywood, Sheetrock, you name it. Mines a short wheelbase so the 8’ sheets hang out the back a bit but I just bungee the hatch down. Long wheelbase, you can close the hatch and haul 4’ x 8’ sheets with the hatch closed so even in the rain you can haul Sheetrock. It fits between the wheel wells. Who needs an Avalanche?

On the Go Rhino I recommend drilling drainage holes in the lower cross bar to let the water to drain out. Also grind some drain notches in the ends of the tubes because they are capped concavely and hold water there as well. If not rust streaks start to run out of the mounting bolts and streaking down the side plates and looks like ****. Just a heads up. I have not had an issue with the top tube yet.

I’ll second the recommendation. My lower bar had the footstep, why to close to the bumper but, and water got in there front the plastic step. Go Rhino has a warranty on their stuff email them they will replace it free of charge. It took a few weeks to get it but it’s in the garage waiting installation this weekend.

They only give us a rear plate in Oklahoma.(Cheap bastards)

Same here in the commonwealth of Pensyltucky!

Never liked the sound of a virtual (fakejunk) sensor.
Need to figure out what's making it calculate so incorrectly.
I put in 23.8gals of e85 this morning.
Content sensor only rose from 36.9 to 44.7 after 13mi of driving.

Came a little shy of the "add gas to this level" line, but that's 85% corn right there...

Time to add a physical sensor.

Got the brakes a little hot. Coming off 100 mph. Thinking I wish I had better ones.View attachment 350512

I am running Raybestos E3 EHT pads now.

Thinking about going to Yellow Stuff or some better Power Stop pads.

Any other suggestions?
