When production started, GM used the old naval air station in Grand Prairie as an overflow storage lot while Tahoes/Yukons were going through initial QC. There was a mayfly infestation at the naval yard and millions of them landed on and mated on the Tahoes/Yukons that were waiting there. Many of them had to be clayed and buffed. Some were bad enough that they needed to be repainted.

We received one Z71 Tahoe that was there during all of this. I could tell it had been buffed on but it looked ok. It was black so it was easy to tell.
