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

[CHOO CHOO]

Damn you. Those are exactly the wheels i should be running. Back when I bought the ones I’m running, I was downsizing from 26” Dub Ballers and intended these to be my winter rims but decided I liked them so they stayed. Then I wished I’d bought 24’s, halfway between.

I don't think I'll ever go bigger than 24". Hopefully these tires ride good (damn good price too) and I can avoid some potholes. I keep the old esky platinum reps as my winter set.

I know these are played out, but it's just such a nice wheel. Just like the ck375 everyone had for a while. I'd still rock a set of those any day.

Man, here i am thinking i need a second set of wheels.
maybe a nice set of 17's so i can get more rubber for when i go offroad.

I will say that the 20's look small on my hoe.

but the 18's on my C4 vette look like hotwheels big.

and i broke out my ol pressure washer today, needed to hose down some parts.

then i started looking at my now empty engine bay...
I focused around the ac compressor and engine mounts for now...




and then i'm looking at my catalytic converters sitting in there.
Any way to tell when these things were made?


I'm assuming they are probably original, and they sure would be real easy to replace right now....

Stock cats are rounded looking, very smooth and they and the pipes have a coppery color by now. Aftermarket ones have heat shields and are a little longer and flatter usually.

Looks like stock cats, and i got motivated...
Found my etching primer.

so i coated the aluminum parts with that first, then the engine primer, base, and clear.

Just laid down the final clear coat, still wet.

And i used my little air belt sander to remove the casting marks, and 3m cross buffs to clean the layer of oxidation off of the cover.

Totally did the same thing to the ac pump bracket, it was ugly!

I’ve been fiddling with rear door locks since I discovered the hubs for my trailer project were the wrong ones.

thecopcar had the manual lock rods, but they’re in the way of a door card project. I was able to figure out how to get the lock out and remove those easily. The clip to release the exterior handle rod was straightforward. First pic, the orange square in the lower corner.

on theothertwin, however I’m dead in the water. The clip is a different design, and none of the university of YouTube videos show that one, or how to release it. Second pic. All I need to do is swap in the manual lock rods.

Looks good but IMO the rocker covers would look good in a contrasting color. I did mine in VHT red crinkle and they look great, along with a few other red pieces under the hood. I think you should choose a contrasting color and plan on a few parts in that color under the hood.

Edit: ICT Billet sells those coil brackets pretty cheap.

Tahoe is in full on work truck mode. Thursday was 2 trailer loads of kitchen cabinets, plus the rear cargo area loaded up, hauling stuff to the dump at work and today i filled the back area up to the windows with cardboard from cabinet boxes. Its done good so its getting a much needed bath tomorrow

I’ve been hauling fencing in my 02, about (400) 5/4 x 6 cedar fence boards. Smells like cedar inside now.

Finished the Cold Case radiator install today. Took some trimming of the mounting brackets and the fan shroud to fit, but it’s all in. Ended up using a little brass threaded fitting as a restrictor in the coolant tank return line. It’s a beautiful radiator, more than twice as thick as the original. Did some full throttle pulls today up to 85, and the engine temp never got above 202° on the OBD2 scanner.

It’ll get a full test this weekend hauling the 6500 lb Alpha Wolf camper over the mountains to the New River gorge in West Virginia.

I also have a 103 year old luger to pew once i get there...


I need to get the hoe done soon.

Drove it back home from New Orleans, 1,415 miles total there and back. Didn't really drive it the week we were there, it just sat in the hotel garage and we either walked everywhere or caught an uber.

Couldn't find any E85, so only 93 octane (Mobil/Exxon) and the average mpg got up to 15.7. Four of us, cargo area full of luggage, cooler in the isle and big box of snacks on the second row left seatback (daughter takes over third row, son sits second row right and we fold down the second row left, behind driver and set snack box on it).

It didn't miss a beat, used cruise control set at 85 mph most of the time. Sometimes would have it at 90 mph. It needs a bath tomorrow, has bugs on the front, windshield, and on the back of the mirrors. Family slept off and on most of the trip. That's how smooth it rode even at those speeds, and it had no problems getting up to speed or passing.

So on another note (more of a pet peeve/rant), why do semi drivers take forever to pass each other? I mean, there will be a few of them in a row in the right lane doing 70 mph, then the last one will be doing like 71 mph and move to the left lane to pass the truck in front of him, but it takes like 10 mins to do it, causing traffic to back up behind him (speed limit is 75 for cars, 70 for trucks through Arkansas). Then, 30 seconds after that truck passes the one in front of him and gets over to the right, the one behind him, which he just passed, puts on his signal and starts to do the process over!! It's like they leapfrog!!

Comes down to it, i just want the hoe back.
And you really can't see the valve covers anyways.

It was a busy day. All new Amsoil in the diffs, transfer case & tranny. And some speed engineering long tubes because I guess I like pissing off the wife [emoji2371]
