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

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Bezos fckd up and sent me two broken manifold bolt "fix kits" when I ordered 1.(BOGO?)
And a grease fitting that hopefully fits my ball joints on my new LCAs... stupid front axles in the way...
Also grabbed a passenger rear broken bolt fix kit arrived even though that bolts not broken yet.

Not today, but over the course of the weekend. Put 567 miles on 'er going to Pasadena for my grandma's 80th birthday party. Bombed around between the hotel, her church (party was in their event hall), restaurants, aunt's house, etc. Averaged 21.1 MPG over the whole trip. I didn't do much city driving since everyone and everything is within a ~10-mile radius. My only complaints about the Tahoe are a possible blown front left door speaker and that growling aspirator fan.

Dammit. I've been tempted to get a spare set of trim pieces to paint or wrap then swap into mine. But shipping costs would make it not worth it unless those trim pieces were cheap. Whatcha looking to get for 'em?

Well….I wouldn’t say cheap. I have the whole set listed online for over $400, but that’s a best offer auction. That’s about what I see them going for, so I figured I would start around there. Shipping is probably $40-$50 for the box they are in. I would throw them on here in the classifieds but I don’t have the 100 posts.

Nice, which one do you have? I need to get one

Get a catch can before any mods.

Yeah I missed that one. That mounting bracket looks a little flimsy though. The bracket is a little thin. But, if you're not twisting on the body to remove the reservoir when draining (which is the convenience of the drain valve), it's sufficient.

Got my 90° grease gun fittings so I could actually Grease the lower ball joints. Worked like a charm!
And as for that broken manifold bolt fix, there is very little room to get any fingers or anything in there, but I got that stupid thing on there after fighting with it and dropping the bolts and bracket many, many many times.
Apparently the sound that I thought was an exhaust leak has been the injectors the whole time anyway, not that there wasn't a tiny leak on the manifold, just not the noise I thought I was hearing.
Oh well, the bracket is on there now and it will live there until that engine comes out.

Keep an eye out at your local pull-a-part. My LKQ has had a couple (literally, two) of GMT900s in the past month. I scored some spare trim pieces and a non-Denali forward bin for about $50.

Question for the 900 series brain trust; do any of this series display actual tire pressures from the TPMS? My low spec DICless cluster tells me which tire(s) are low, but not the actual pressures. Actuals would be a valuable feature for me, since half the time I’m driving aired down with the warning light lit.
If that feature exists, where would I find it? Higher trim level cluster; later year model?

Thanks for your expertise!

Using the DIC mine will display the actual pressures. They match a good gauge pretty well.
