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

[Just Fishing]

And i got another package for the 6.0 build today.
Fedex flaked out on me for friday.
Odd to see a sunday delivery.

And my new block should show up this week, hopefully tomorrow.

Then I'm waiting till april for the next big order.

Credit card and credit score reasons...
Turn of the month i have to be under 50% of the limit...

Broomhandle is next on my list.

Originally i was going to get an earlier example in .30 luger, but freedom seeds in that cal became impossible to find.
Mostly i wanted a nice example for as little $$.

This one cost me a bit more, but it's a much better investment.

As for the way it feels, so for a modern grip like i was trained for.
The luger is weird.
I was taught to grip the pew in a straight line with my arm.
The luger seems to like a different grip...
Still figuring it out, however it feels best with a one handed hold.

Made for a shooting style from another time.

Indeed it was designed for single handed shooting, like the 1911 and my old cap and ball revolvers. We laugh when the range officers try to teach us the real way to handle those old guns!

I reckon they never heard of Elmer Keith and Ed McGivern or even Annie Oakley!

As for the ammo, a relative was able to secure a lifetime supply from the Czech Republic some years ago, it's of good quality.

I got this weird clunk only on accelerating from a stop. Sounds like play in something. Is there anything that’s a known issue to check out?

Yoke on back of trans. I feel it more than hear it.

or the dreadd motor mounts....

Went to the shop to try and get the rear pinions seal done........2 techs were out because they might have been exposed to the Rona over the weekend. So I will just wait til later in the week.

Happy Monday fellow Deplorables!

Waiting at the window for my engine block today.

 

[Just Fishing]

Notice i removed the 5.3 from my sig.
Won't go 6.0 until it's official.

 

[the_tool_man]

Waiting for my new PIAA bulbs to get here so I can install my new headlight housings. I think they're stuck on that ship in the Suez Canal.

engine block just arrived!

Signed and then noticed the big text on the package "open box and inspect package before signing"



Noticed the top of the crate/box had been removed once before, odd...

but all looks good.
I was surprised to find the block so dry and oil free.


Minor rust and water spotting, I might get one of those dingle berry hones depending on how it cleans up.

Dragged that fkn thing into my garage for now, i'll do engine block swap around on the stand later this week or weekend....

I wish i was using some elses wallet.

 

[Sam Harris]

Yeah nobody pays attention to that one.

I mean.. I guess I can’t talk.. I put all my updates and mods and washes.. details, etc.. all in the main GMT800 thread..

However:

1. I don’t have a build thread
2. I’m not building a motor

 

[pwtr02ss]

Yeah nobody pays attention to that one.

I'm hurt. Here I was thinking you had no updates. Do my weekly scroll through here, bam

 

[Just Fishing]

I got pictures of the cam bearings in my build thread.
THey look bad, but not bad enough to justify how much metal was in the oil...
And metal in everything!!!

it has to be the cause... but wtf.
