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

Alldatadiy also concurs, 1 block plug on either side. It says to remove the block heater if you have one too ( my Denali has one).

What does the block heater look like? Is it just a heated little plug that goes into the block drains?

I’m not sure, I’ve never seen it. And now alldatadiy is not reachable for some reason.

Must be Russian hackers taking the site down. Google shows this which pretty much looks like a heated plug. Kinda cool even when I lived up north I never had one but interesting to see.

Weird, I don’t see the pic in your post but when I hit reply, there it is. Hacked also?

So I went to fix my rear AC temp issue by starting to replace the actuator. Went to test and had a dead battery... I had noticed weak voltage the week prior to starting this repair. Threw the battery charger on and went on to diagnosing that. Found a fried charging wire due to what I assume was from the "budget" alternator I put on last winter. This gave me an excuse to upgrade to a 240 amp Pure Power alternator, and finish my dual battery project that I started before quarantine. Finally with power I needed diagnosed that the rear ac module was faulty. Now, GM and Delco have since discontinued the rear ac module so the only alternative is a used unit or a Dorman. Opted to go with the Dorman, works for now and have rear temp adjustment, and all the juice to power it.

I think the gloves are still serviceable.

I’m thinking they need service. Not sure if my hands get greasier wearing them or going without at this point!

does anybody know which combination of pieces is used to install the power steering pulley? Getting it off was fun enough ! Here’s the tool I borrowed...the directions are long past being readable.

Iirc...3pc jaw & sleeve on the pump, followed by the washer and then puller body with center screw. Then find the one that will screw into pump? It’s been awhile...

I ended up using a strap wrench and i think a 3/8-16 bolt/nut/washer combo

 

[treehan77]

Finally figured it out. Or at least my way lol. That pump about whipped me, never thought it’d be harder than the pitman/idler/tie rods I did yesterday lol. Was starting to think I might miss my alignment appointment Friday at 8:45

Care to share how you did it?

I hate those "do all" kits. I always open them and stare for a good 5 minutes trying to analyze what i need before surrender to the trial and error method.

 

[treehan77]

As for the pulley removal, I used none of the little adapters, I just used the “center screw” along with the two half moon clamps and the sheath with the “puller body”. Not a lot of working room, with any of the little adapters, I no longer had room to put a ratchet on it. And I needed something with more leverage than my little 1/2” box wrench. Every video I watched showed shroud and fan removal, but I have have e-fans, so I didnt do that, and it was tight. Was able to use a 1/2” socket and ratchet, and a big wrench (21mm?) resting against the frame to pull it off. Putting on, I used the longer screw adapter. Screw it into the center screw, then thread into the pump shaft. Then the position the pulley and then the bearing. The bearing washer was missing from the kit. Then the puller body again. Start muscling it on with the big wrench while holding with the small wrench. I measured with my micrometer the gap of the pulley to the bracket body before I took of the old one, so I’d know when to stop. Since you can’t see when the shaft end is flush with the pulley. Not terribly difficult once I figured out which pieces and how.

Thanks for the follow-up. Kind of sounds like a pain. Would it be easier if you pulled the fans?

Yes. But I decided I didn’t want to mess with it. Just more work, most of my time was spent making damn sure I wasn’t gonna damage pulley by doing it wrong, or worse, damaging the new pump shaft when installing it again. Pitman, idler and tie rods I did pretty good, seemed to track straight without pulling on the way to the dealer for alignment. Steering wheel was at 1230 though
