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

Ok, so seems like it shouldn’t be needing a head gasket already. Unless I’m not understanding the timeline.

My guess is he didn’t torque the heads correctly. I went ahead and ordered arp head bolts

Picked up a ViAir 300P portable compressor to haul along, which should be useful when 4-wheeling:




Then installed the Hopkins 7-Blade/4-Flat trailer connector. #40920, PnP. Before:



After:



Now I need to pull the hitch and paint it. It never ends, does it?

The expensive component is what you are going to tow.....

That's for sure, although I sold my camper since it wasn't worth storing to use once or twice a year. Now I rent and the upkeep is someone else's, but I do contribute to that! Got my garage back, though.

Nice little compressor. Viair is good stuff.

It is possible one of the heads is cracked or isn’t seating fully on the head gasket

It’s possible. The heads were shaved to up compression. I’m gonna have them checked out when I get to tear it down

I also have one of their portable compressors--excellent product, and it's fast too.

I hope they didn't mill them like you do Cast Iron heads.
