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

[Rocket Man]

so....the parking brake adjustment saga continues
after attempting to adjust them myself and failing I decided to take it to the dealer and have them deal with it, I figure I will pay the $90 and I'm good to go
well the parking brake is adjusted and the dealer nicely comped me for it (no charge), but in the process of course they discovered the front right caliper is leaking and quoted me $300 for the part which is still fleet pricing that they give me, I said no I just bought both the front calipers from autozone in October I will bring you a caliper since there under warranty, I figured since they comped me for the parking brake I would go ahead have them do the caliper. so I take a caliper over, leave, they call me back later and say well now the pads are soaked in brake fluid from the leak, and again these are also under warranty, so I take them a new set of pads, when I get there they inform me that the caliper I took them is defective when they were bleeding the system one of the cylinders popped out, so I run around and get another caliper. so after all this it's the end of the day and hopefully providing nothing else takes a crap I will have it back Monday.

Been there before, go to fix one thing and 2 more pop up.

RIGHT? knowledge is power, o'well I might not have noticed a leaky caliper for a while though I was just looking under there like 2-3 days ago for my monthly visual inspection didn't see anything and I am getting ready for a nice long road trip so it all worked out ok this time.

 

[swathdiver]

For the price you paid Wes, save for running around to get parts, you did good!

ya it will only be the labor to r&r the rest of it I got or will get my money back, already returned the defective caliper, I said you want the long story or the short story, lol they got a little of both.

Thinking of selling and moving into a new body style or an Expedition EL. Decisions decisions.

Planning on changing my oil soon, don't have a lot of time but I called the dealer and they wanted me to drop it off....No thanks, I'll just do it myself. I wanted to double check here that I'm ordering the right oil & filter, thanks:


ACDelco PF48E Professional Engine Oil Filter

Mobil Super 112914 5W-30 Synthetic Motor Oil - 1 Quart (Pack of 6)

2011 Tahoe Z71. Has 110k on it. Great shape just wanting to get a lower mileage vehicle. But with 4 kiddos I need a little more room. Plus the Z71 has the 2nd row bucket seats and I really need the bench.

Ive looked at them. Just too much chrome for me. I like everything more color matched.

well dam I've got parking brake now
this is fully engaged, lol

 

[Doubeleive]

replaced the flex-a-lite with the true-cool-max, it's about 40% bigger and different design, I was able to use the same mounting points with some minor modifications to the mounting brackets, didn't have to change the hose's either, everything worked. now to see how much difference it actually makes.....

Yes correct stuff.

Buy 3 six packs and another filter for next change, the extra 6 are for what you burn up in between oci’s.... kidding... use a quart from the 3rd 1/2 case to fill oil filter before installing it and for around gasket. You wont use a full quart to fill filter but its always good to have extra oil around. The motor will still take 6 qts even with filling oil filter.

had to open it back up and unbolt it and move the ambient temp sensor onto a side bracket, I should have done it the first time, kept telling me it was 125 deg outside when it's only about 90, on a short 5-6 mile drive the trans didn't go above 151 which is good but it's not 103deg outside today either like it was a couple days ago.

make sure to check fluid level, that cooler will add a little bit of fluid capacity (i think they say 1/2 qt)
with a 3000rpm stall temps cruising are 135-160, 160-190* beating on it...ive maybe seen 200* once or twice that i can remember and i usually keep an eye on it

Ya I just gave her a pretty decent little workout and I only hit 178 with a pretty quick cool down as well I have the B&M pan on there also, so it's already taking a couple extra quarts but I will swing by the trans shop that did the last service and pickup a quart since I haven't added any fluid since I added the flexalite before this. Ambient sensor is reading normal again since I moved it over
