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

[Tonyrodz]

Get that new connector? I was looking at the soldering on that wire and it doesn’t look great IMO. Looks like either the wire was contaminated or not enough heat was applied. I’d get a new connector and make sure to cut some wire off the end of the old stuff so it’s good and clean, solder it good and use heat shrink tubing so it doesn’t corrode. You don’t want that to bite you at a bad time like in the middle of winter.

Ya see??? RocktMan said..... SHRINK TUBING......

( Hopefully, your second time fix will be the charm )

I hit it with the test light and it shows hot--didn't before. I'm wondering if it's the injector now.

Fix it right then get back to us.

That damn connector again. Of course I broke the insulation on the new one.

I'm hoping it'll last for awhile. Needless to say I'm pussed--as per usual.
Seems to be running ok. We'll see.

I was on a very public road, so I had to be careful.

You didn’t break the insulation, that’s where it ends. I can see the wire and the end of the connector it’s crimped to. If you’re careful you can stick your soldering iron down there and feed it a tiny bit of solder to reinforce it. Or get another connector, either way. It is probably fine as is though.

Thx. I'm hoping.

Oil, filter, drain/fill the trans pan. Through the dipstick because I don't disconnect the cooler lines and cross my fingers nothing is run dry and ***** up like a hack

Ended up having to use a bottle of 5w20 because the store was out of 5w30. And Napa was being a bastard with my usual 0w30 saying it wasn't in sale when it really was. Bleh. I defo prefer the 0w30. This stuff has 5psi greater pressure when cold and about 3psi lower when hot, though the hot is a bit difficult to judge because it has a quart of 20 weight in the mix that could be thinning it down. Not sweating it too much for the summer but I'm definitely going to swap back over for the winter.

Also had an errant service 4wd message for maybe 15 seconds. Went as fast as it came, ran through and verified all my various 4wd settings operate. Selector switch was lit in 2wd as selected but would not switch to either auto or 4x4 while the message was displayed.

Scanned for stored codes and found none so like.... Who knows?

Got a new project to work on along with the yukon. Might be time for a 2/4 drop since I got a lifted truck

I’ve been having weird issues with the 4wd message too. But it always goes away so I’m not too worried

great find, compare them side by side

CJ rodarme.... I LOVE those trucks!! ( I wish I had room to resto one myself).....

K & N filter mod...... I can never understand the design vs cost..... You are still getting hot air from under the hood.

The Florida weather was perfect this late morning to wash my truck ( light clouds, tree-shade )...
( I am so fortunate it was garaged.... The roof is as shiny as the hood)
I washed it before it gets to 94 degrees later.

I plan to. I haven’t gone to the shop yet. Jus wondered if anyone knew. I prefer to use the box lol
