What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[97YukonNZ]

I like LED's over hid mostly as well. but there's almost a easy mod. I think I found it here years and years go. where you get all 4 headlights on high beam. the lows don't go out.

it's a nice little mod. especially if you still had the hid in low.

Yes I remember I read a post and someone mentioned that you can do that.
These new bulbs have a better intensity.
I need to have a look on YouTube to see how to adjust em. I am driving a lefthand drive on the left side of the road.
The lights have been set up as best they can.
I just need to drop 1 a little to level them.

I've driven a right hand drive on our left hand roads once a few miles up to a store and it was kind scary.

I have seen newer retro housing having a right or left option but I doubt any for this Gen would be available. my gmt 900 has like 10 different languages in the stickers under the hood, I bet there's a left and right housing for it.


look into that mod man, I did it a good 20 years ago, but I remember it was super easy. Just like a relay an 2 wires or something. totally worth it if you use high beam at all.

Driving at about 75 on the highway I hear a bang. Start slowing down to pull over to see if I can see anything wrong and POW! Thhhhpt thhhhpt . Not sure how any of this happened.
I was able to bang the fender liner back in place away from the tire but will probably try to find one in a junkyard. Not sure why the tire did what it did.

Had a belt under the tread let go and get air in between and then tread separated and centrifugal force tore it and started flapping till it broke off.

What brand and how old are the tires?

Might be worth checking to see if there was a recall on them…

Exactly what I said when I looked at it, “fn Firestone” lol a few pages back in the thread I realized my spare was toast and recently replaced the rim and tire or I would have been stuck.

I still need to check and see if my spare will drop. Haven't tried it yet. Probably need to squirt some Blaster up in there anyways.

Considering buying tires if I can get the right sale and I guess it needs to be all five.

Mine LOOK fine, lots of tread and all, but you can't really tell by that alone.
