I’ve heard the one in that spot sucks. Can’t get to that backside bolt by the firewall right?
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

There is very little room to turn either of those bolts that mount to the head. I had flex head ratcheting wrenches, regular wrenches, etc and it didn't help me. Pain in the rear! I wasn't ready to commit to pull off manifold and risk other bolts going.
Thank you. I think it's coming out nice. It started life as a green university band SUV. Now it's my cancer project and when the carbon fiber and leather work are done, I'll do a write up.

P.S. Who knows where to get a big brake kit that fits or even a hub carrier replacement. I've checked with Brembo and they laughed. Lol
I looked and all they seem to sell them for are the 6 lug wheels. Sucks.

Got that damned PS pulley to move ! I stopped f-ing around with marginal tools and bought the OTC 4681.
Cost $43, but I was not going to let that pulley win.
A YT video I saw mentioned that the pulley should be flush with the end of the pump shaft. That is correct. So, as a quick and easy check, take a look at yours. If you're having belt wear or noise and yours isn't flush,that might be the cause.

I really dont know too much about it to be honest cammed 350 built by previous owner, claims it had 8k miles on it(doubt it, but it is super healthy)auto Turbo350 trans,painted,E-Fan conversion, dual exhaust out the back I pretty much got it just for trade bait for something else,but ended up having too much fun with it, and will probly keep it for a while,clean squarebodies are getting hard to come by so I knew it would hold value

Not bad. Looks like you have a nice solid base to work with--most important part--Does good burnouts
. Sounds like you're talking yourself into keeping it lol! Just make sure you toss those ugly ass tail lights. Have you tried LMC truck for the door panels? Aren't they the cheapie style flat cardboard covered with vinyl type?

You guys cost me $25 for something I didn't even know I needed LMAO. I ordered the Fleece all lights on chip from Amazon and installed it last night. I figure with all the money I've saved by not having a car payment for 13+ years and doing almost all the repairs and maintenance myself, why not splurge?

Very! I take trips out to the country every so often, and it'll be nice to see how my visibility is improved with the low beams staying on with the high beams.

When I had that problem, I bit the bullet, went to my buddy's shop, we removed the exhaust manifold, welded a nut to the piece of a bolt stuck in the heads with a MIG welder and removed it. Then I installed ARP studs and hope I won't have to do this gymnastics ever again on this truck.
