    Maintenance items for the win and the joys of rust free work!

    I brought a piece of cardboard to my dad's when I went to help because I didn't want to leave a massive spot. Now that the cover and main is done, I also can attest how nice it is to park like a normal person. Good job.

    05 Yukon Denail Got Broken Into

    I think the plate prevents the lock mechanism from being actuated. Here's how mine looked when discovered, they definitely got in and rifled through the console:

    05 Yukon Denail Got Broken Into

    Me and @Tonyrodz (i think) run these: https://jimmijammer.com/Product,%20JJ.htm Some argue that using them could cause more damage to the door if they get really violent with trying to force it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    They scratched/gouged the crap out of my wheel (2019 Silverado take-offs from BIL new) when removing the stick on balance weights so I took it back. They want me to take it to a wheel repair place and let them know how much it will be. I guess that's reasonable? Just ordered some "wholesale...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Took it for a balance/rotate, alignment, and new spare. That thing is original (2004) and only used once in 2006. Don't want to get stranded with a bum spare. :eek:

    2005 Denali Bose wiring/OEM Nav video input

    Last thread activity was almost 11 years ago, unlikely these folks are still around. What year and model? I can dig out the entertainment pinouts for you.

    Oil in surge tank

    You mentioned no milkshake - did you pull your valve covers and inspect? Also, does the oil fill cap have any moisture in it?

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

    Nice score. I paid that for two calipers with pads on ebay. I still need rotors.

    2005 Z71 Full body wiring diagram / replacement harnesses.

    The blue one in your hand (24 pin) looks like the Bose Premium amp connector under the console. Your Tahoe is without Y91 (Bose Luxury, only on Denali/Escalade). Here's all the 2005 Tahoe entertainment connector pinouts from GM SI.

    Engine cooling issue with 6.2

    For future reference, partscenterplus on eBay is a GM dealer in AZ with reasonable prices and quick shipping. I use them whenever I need guaranteed OE parts.

    Mircophones in roof of Denali making a Humming noise

    Here we are doing the same jobs the same way. Good info for others. There was no way to access that one the way the service manual indicates, so I loosened the headliner as well. Those coat hooks gave me challenges. Watched many vids and still managed to booger them up.

    Oil leak

    Did you put dabs of RTV on the 4 spots where the timing cover and rear cover meet the block when you did the oil pan gasket?

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Hope you went OEM on the bearing or you'll be back in there soon. Do you have adjustable pedals? Those were a PITA to get that one nut back on for me. And I went Dorman first despite being warned. Didn't even last a week.

    i have bamboo charcoal bags in all vehicles to eliminate lingering farts or takeout smells. but yeah - is it sulfuric smell?

    Exhaust joint gasket - y pipe to muffler?

    My 04 FF does, too. I thought the shop that did my rear main didn't get it sealed properly but I found a video of long before showing the same thing. Curious if you find anything out.

    2005 Chevy surburban fans don’t work

    To test fan harness and fans, ground green (C1.42) for both fans low speed, blue (C2.33) for both fans high.

    2005 Chevy surburban fans don’t work

    I have not seen this setup, either. I _think_ 2500's (8 lug) have a mechanical fan, but never both. If you're not the original owner, seems like maybe the previous saw the fans weren't running, either, and put a mechanical fan on it as an ineffective stopgap? From the factory, the fan...

    2007 Tahoe Z71 2WD What might be the "thunk" sound in the rear after coming to a complete stop?

    There's a TSB for a new slip yoke. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10130627-9999.pdf On my RWD NBS, i greased the splines of the yoke and it went away. Wish I tried that before firing the parts cannon on rear end rebuild thinking it was the pinion bearing.

    Electric Fan Conversion Question

    @Jkpii2000 Is your temp gauge on the dash functioning correctly? Use a scan tool and see what your engine coolant temp sensor is reporting. The default protect mode for a bad ECT is fans on all the time. That's an easy first step.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Was it a PITA with the rear HVAC? I didn’t pull mine all the way out but replacing that rear aspirator was not fun. Good job.

    6.2 swap thread

    What do you mean sound better? I put the Morels in mine and on a cold start, they make a little metallic click/clack noise; at least I suspect it is the lifters. About 60 seconds after, it goes away. After that, no noise or clatter. (04 L59)
