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

[Rocket Man]

rotated the tires and relearned tpms with my $9 tool. Attempted to clean the inside of the wheels. a lot better but not perfect. My balance will probably be way off now lol

Your balance probably WAS way off, now it should be back to good.

Heater seat switch had mind of it's own, tried taking apart and cleaning a while back with short term results, now the door lock button wouldn't work so I replaced both, so far so good.
Also (I know sacrilege) I fixed the head liner drooping at the windshield with a small stapler, wasn't sure about this when another member did it but found a youtube vid of an upholstery shop said it wasn't a big deal since it doesn't damage the hard backing. So it's a temp fix until I redo the interior and you can't see it unless you hang upside down.

Why in the street and not the driveway?

Why in the street and not the driveway?

probably has a slope like I do, some stuff I do on the street because it's flat

Why in the street and not the driveway?

I love my driveway too much. Don't want to see oil stains.

Why in the street and not the driveway?

My neighborhood is fairly secluded. No traffic. I don't like do anything that might be greasy or oily on my driveway. I did one side at a time turned where I wasn't really on the street side. Not a bad job, second side went on much easier. Man my snap knipex snap ring pliers came in handy today!! I have a lifetime alignment with Firestone, so she be there tomorrow. Oh and I had my kids water slide in the driveway. Figure I give them a weekend with it before it goes into storage for the winter.

NEXT I got to do the brake upgrade!! I will somwtime soon. My current brakes don't even squeak!?!?!

Nothing major today, just hand washed the truck.

I second this oil changes get done on the grass & I have a board lined up perfectly with my garbage cans and garage so when I park I am accurate to not get front axle seal drops on my nice drive way lol...never have to move the board. Winter time it’s a free for all though.

Maybe fix the axle seal?

This is why I spent the coin to fix the rear main seal. So far nothing leaks, at least in the last 6 months on the tahoe.

That’s what cat litter is for. I don’t have oil stains and I have done a LOT of work in my driveway. But mine is old too so I dont care that much.

They apparently like to eat them selfs original front differential is still working @ 200,000 miles so can’t complain

Yeah mine made it to 160k but apparently they don’t like WOT in reverse from a stop especially when you’re running a blower, cam etc. I snapped the housing in two and destroyed a cv joint. Dumb move trying to catch an a**hole who was throwing stuff at me from the side of the road.

Reminds me of those truck commercials....... After filming them flying through the mounds of dirt, the trucks are trashed !!

I’m just over replacing things multiple times on this truck that isn’t worth much anymore, replaced twice and if I go a third round that’s when the differential will take a **** with my luck. She’s getting a bit noisy the times coming one of these New York winters. Easy way to keep the fluid clean though a few pumps every few months haha

Haha that's the way I used to change the oil on a Dodge pickup I had. It leaked and burned about a quart a week so I figured there was no use changing it since it was getting new clean oil all the time anyway.

Thought about extending my oil change intervals as well, pan leaks a little but not enough to leave a drip and I add 1.5 quarts or so every 3000 miles. Depending on season and towing seems to drink a bit more.

I should have clarified I didn’t care about that Dodge…
