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

[Scottydoggs]

them thin ass pads from yesterday.

 

[Scottydoggs]

you'd be getting pulled over weekly for them wheels sticking out so far with no flairs over em up here, and you'd never fit in a parking spot here lol

i got nailed for a 1/2 inch past the fender flair once. talk about dumb crap the cops pull here.

 

[00'BlueSteel]

Yeah being from NC has it’s pros and cons. We have no lift height laws, headlight laws are barely enforced, cops don’t bother you for tint most the time, and fender flares or mud flaps aren’t even a topic. If my vehicle throws stuff up on other peoples cars they should be following so close.

that was one day of light squealing, then the next day full blown, so loud i could not tell if it was front or back.

plan was to dump the truck then bring back a load of mulch, dump it on site, then go do the brakes. i barely got the pads picked up and back to the house to work on it, and i get the call, come back, i cant be waiting all day, you been gone over a hr already, really? ive been gone 35 minutes so far, you forget travel time? so i loaded up the jack and tools cause i knew it was a matter of miles before the rotors got eaten up.

under the truck doing the brakes, im like you do know i just saved you 150 bucks right????? no way they would have lasted another trip with a load of mulch.....

Lets see how it goes the truck is on keys and there plenty of room with the 285 on it now.

Start saving up for collateral damage.

I think I probably would've just let the boss worry about it--but, I bet if you did do that, the truck would be down, and you guys wouldn't be able to work. Am I guessing correctly?

Oil change and trans fluid/filter change. At 215k.

 

[Bombsquad85]

Parts slowly rolling in. Front moog problem solver endlinks and my 35mm socket came in. All that left is the drop kit and the other control arm

How'd you get the majority of the trans fluid out? Cooler lines or drain plug?

New headlights and signal lights came in today! Had some issues with a blown fuse for the turn signal because I didn't pay attention to polarity, and I can't figure out how to turn the DRL's on. But it's installed!

id likely catch all the bs that rolls down hill. as im the primary mechanic. and then i'd be the one ripping the rear apart to get the rotors off, "again" its something every day, from a lawn mower to a blower or the damn trailer, did road side shackle replacement on it last week, found another cracked one today.....or one of the trucks, its always something. only he dont want to eat the down time. i can only "suggest" things be done. like the whole front end that needs to be done, then i have to keep adding and then it "needs" an alignment, he dont like that idea, cause its real down time.

still need to do the front pads and flush the brake fluid, but im not doing it after working all day long, im gonna need a early day to work on it, or its not gonna happen ever lol he actually had the balls to ask me to come in tomorrow and work on a old ass tiller, im like NO. im not doing shit tomorrow. see ya monday.

right now both trucks are really needed, till we are on just on just a reg maint program, mixing in mulch and clean ups,,,well its crazy time still. then trimming time comes, more fun....yea!!!!

those look damn good.

the drl lights, e brake on, key to run, put the truck in drive, they will then turn on. they only work when the trucks in gear.

Just used drain plug.

 

[chrmbly]

Finally had time to plastidip the rear bumper to match the front grille and bumper. Cleaned and detailed the engine bay since it had what looked to be 13 years of dirt and dust in it. Valve covers were black with grease.

 

[Shaw520]

looks clean.

Or pull up the a window in the day time and see the reflection @Isaiah W

 

[Isaiah W]

I tried this @Scottydoggs , and still didn't see the DRL's turn on. I'll try what @05Single suggested and see if I get anything. If not, the female connector that they plug into was black and charred when I pulled the halogen bulbs out, so I'll try replacing those since they got pretty hot.

Didn't want to stretch back in place. So I have to find a fabric place and get new material.
