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

[Doubeleive]

gm has gotten cheap they used to put in door marker lights, footwell lights, glove box lights, ashtray lights, underhood light.

 

[Rocket Man]

nice!, did you use led's or go with some lights from the nbs's?

Yeah, there’s just minimum lights now- dome and map lights are about all. I used some led lights that are mounted to metal plates that I had laying around. They came with double sided tape and I just found flat spots to stick them to.

I drove across a back road weigh station, and i had a bunch of random crap in the back, but I wanted to get an idea of weight distribution and in general how heavy the tahoe is. 3100 on front axle, 5800 vehicle weight, and 2800 on rear. I think If I take all the stuff out, and I’m not in it, I’d be at or around 5550. I’m 170 pounds, there’s three duffel bags in the back, and I had just gotten groceries and gas.

She’s running normal, no codes, cleared the codes. No misfiring.



Fingers crossed! Thanks for your help and putting up with my rants!

Glad to hear it! We have all been there before in one form or fashion.

So what do you think the reason you were getting all the codes?

I think I was losing oil pressure through the middle unreplaced gaskets. And the solenoid frame is riveted in place. So after pissing 300 bucks away on useless non-returnable gaskets that refused to match, plus trying to trying out how to install a correct one, if I could find it. I did dissect and cut the keepers on the old one, and punched the rivets out of the casing.

I was thinking, even if I found the right gasket, how do I put it back together? 1/4” nuts and bolts? Although I was tempted, NO. No redneck shit!

Did some more relentless internet searching and found this complete cover assembly. Dropped another 200 bucks minus the 20 percent, online discount of $50 at local Autozone.

And here I am and tired and beat to shit. Physically, mentally and financially on what was supposed to be a medicore preventative oil leak fix.

Anyway she is running great!

 

[89Suburban]

Oh, the flat tire? After I got her running, I had to address that issue. Pulled it off filled it to 50#, soaked he shit out of it with soap water tread, sidewalls, bead, valve stem. NO bubbles or leaks I can find. ??????? I’m so whooped.

 

[89Suburban]

That’s awesome, and you got it done before work tomorrow? Was that a new valley pan with solenoids and gasket? I’m just glad I’ve never dealt with AFM. I would rip that every part of that shit out, run a good cam, and never look back.

Yeah brand new. If I was in a different situation I would love to do what you propose.

 

[iamdub]

IM ******!! Can I RTV the old one?


On a positive note @iamdub only 3 of the bolts were tight the rest were loose.

The valley pan bolts?

The day mine gives me trouble is the day I do the same.

This is why I don't like touching anything. Same thing ALWAYS happens to me--seems anyway. Glad you finally got it running.

First road trip since we picked it up. Very enjoyable ride in comparison to our 2003. Kids love the DVD players (except for my niece who gets car sick and almost puked in the back). Needs those rear brakes for sure and maybe the fronts sooner than later. Nice to have the split third row. Dog kennel on one side and kid on the other.

Got home early enough today to mow the lawn and then clean the Burb up again inside and out.
