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

[George B]

So basically any tire shop should be able to fix it pretty easily/cheaply?

Its a fairly easy fix however with the chrome wheels once it starts it’s usually an ongoing problem. The corrosion works it’s way under the chrome and causes a leak path. Back in the day we had some waxy grease stuff we would use to help seal out the moisture and slow the corrosion.

Yeah at least on mine it’s an easy fix- they just pop the bead, clean the bead and reinflate. If your chrome is peeling off the bead I’m sure it’s trouble. Yours might just be around the weight though, hard to tell until the bead is broke so you can see.

I added ditch light brackets to thecopcar. I’m still waiting for the lights to ship.

Doesn’t obstruct your view when mounted there

Oh, guess it would normally run across the enrire cowl?

I didn't know that's what those types of lights were called

Well it’s any light mounted there to illuminate where the headlights don’t shine, as in ditches to your left or right...and so forth so on etc etc etc

They clear the hood ok with the lights installed and the hood open? Hold up to car washes?

 

[Sparksalot]

The lights will end up above and behind the hood. The steel is 4mm, so a hair under 3/16”. Carwash? I couldn’t tell you, since I don’t use mechanized car washes.

Put air in a tire. It was about 5 psi low and I had to put a couple psi in a couple days ago too.

Sprayed some soap solution around the stem and along the bead and found these bubbles. Looks like a small leak along the bead right where the wheel weight is attached

I had the same issue. I thought I fixed it and I obviously didn’t because my tire was flat the other day. It leaks down too fast now and with it getting cold I just ended up finding some late model wheels and tires and swapped it so I do t have it in the back of my head.

Welp, getting to the other head.
It came off with a broken exhaust bolt.
Already broken long ago etc.

Well i decided i was going to drill out he middle, and try using an "Easy Out"

Well that easy out is now broken, and stuck in there.

Spent some time trying to get it out, decided I'm making it way worse than it was.

I have two options at this point,
Reinstall with the broken bolt missing.
Find a machine shop that's willing and has time to remove it.
Or replace the head...

The Tahoe smells strongly of gas inside when I remote start her. The smell is so strong it makes me worry when I put my kids inside. The fuel pump is newer. Could this be from broken exhaust manifold bolts?

Should be easier to remove now that the head is off.

Exhaust gas or raw gas?

Do you have a welder?

You can weld onto the bolt without worrying about it sticking to the aluminum head.

Exhaust gas.

That was the idea, until the "easy out" made it no so easy.
almost felt like it was starting to back out, but it turns out the tool was just twisting... lol

Tomorrow i'll try and find a shop that's hopefully open and is willing to give it a shot.
Otherwise, i found used heads via ebay for about $200...

I saw one of those heads had a broken bolt in the same location...
