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

[Doubeleive]

It's got a ghost, also lights on/off when tapped on

Huh, discovered there are 2 different versions luckily the buttons can be swapped otherwise won't fit the panel because of the gap in the middle. Was just messing around in the junkyard and got this one for free, they gave it to me, lights work I can return the one I ordered View attachment 448228

Without going out to look, I think mine is the one with the gap.
It's 4* outside so I'd rather not go out and look just now.

Went out there because a 08 burb was dropped a couple days ago, black interior but it's trashed nothing useful, had a rough life, the door panels looked ok but otherwise junk, has air shocks but there long dead

Here's the actual report from the inspection:

I kinda knew the emission stuff wouldn't pass, since I recently did the rear O2 sensors, and apparently haven't driven enough miles/hours to complete the internal readiness tests. The TPMS is dumb, because my winter wheels/tires don't have the sensors. There should be a way to turn that alarm off in the Tech2, yeah??? And I've had 6qts of fresh synthetic and a new filter waiting for the oil change for a while. I think they just looked at the oil change monitor percentage (that I never reset). It's only been 4500-5000 miles since the last change.

I ordered two AC Delco balljoints from Scamazon (I know... I don't care) because they'll get here Saturday, so I have time to rent the tool and maybe buy a pickle fork.

did they fail it because the o2 heater or both. I thought I read they would still pass it if one of the i/m was incomplete but not failed.

For others who may have implemented something similar; just found this product which claims a 10 year battery life for the AirTags.

10-Year Battery™ Case (Pre-Order)

We sold out our first run! Preorder now for estimated January 25th estimated shipping. Over 14x more battery capacity than AirTag's CR2032 coin cell. Uses two AA batteries (Not Included). We recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium for longest life (25yr life, no leaking, flat voltage). We do not...

While I haven't had to replace the battery in my 2500 yet I've ordered a set and plan to hide the tag a bit deeper in the vehicle. The key is to get the AirTag as high as possible without the possibility of it being found.

from what I read, always put 2 air tags in. one that's fairly easy to find. because their phones will go off if one is around following you that's not yours. and they will tear stuff up till they find one.

but once they find it and silence the notification on their phone. the 2nd one will still be there.


location doesn't really matter. it doesn't use cell service. it Bluetooths to the phone of the guys that took it without them knowing it.

I wonder if this tactic might work to allow me to finally recalibrate the steering angle sensor on my '07. I installed a new one a few years ago but messed it up when the wheel moved ever so slightly before turning the key on, and now as soon as I turn the wheel the first time after starting, I get the Stabilitrak/TC off warning. I don't even notice it any more, but I would like to fix it without replacing the thing, but it's not an option on the GMT900 menus. Going to play around a bit and see.

Cannot recalibrate, have to replace it with new. Must use inop rod in steering wheel/column and not remove pin in sensor until latter part of installation.

that's been confirmed a long time ago.

You didn't tell me!

What LED bulb is that for your courtesy light?
I need to replace mine, the cheap ones I bought failed rather quickly and I want to put something decent in there.

Airtags will use any other Apple device and perform a BT connection to the other device to go out to the internet to report location.
They will talk to an iPad, Apple Watch, etc. that has either a cell connection or a WiFi connection.

I don't have any Apple devices, but the installing 2 Airtags is a good idea.
It's too bad Apple doesn't have a way to limit who can see the Airtag ping so thieves wouldn't be able to see the ping following them around.
