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

[Teamiez]

Not today, but a couple days ago I did a half-assed seat repair. Gonna see if it holds up, then do the bottom and get some of the colormatch dye.

I shoulda went and cut some leather out of some seats at the junkyard instead of using vinyl, but oh well

I super glued my driver seat back together lol, and also learned super glue and the foam / leather make a bad reaction and my finger got glued on it while a very hot burning occurred at the same time. But it’s fixed!

Got my rebuilt transmission’s 40,000 mile service done & this is the outcome I was told, still works just fine though. We’ll see how long this lasts. Went in @ 122,000 and currently about to flip 198,000.

I used the E6000 glue. When I was a kid I tried to super glue a chair that I had, and it started smoking. Thought I was gonna burn the house down. Lol.

Did they give you the piece of metal so you can inspect it?

No they only showed me a picture of the pan. I wouldn’t have a clue on where it would come from in there.

so spongy brake feeling went away after the pads bedded in. i think both front calipers were sticking some. when i let the brakes go when rolling it really feels like its free rolling now lol

almost ran a red light the other day, i had to pound the brakes. i got 3-4 tire chirps out of the abs as it came to a stop, pedal stayed solid didnt mush to the floor. over all pretty happy. l'll likely just swap the rear calipers over winter and do a full flush at that time.

oh, and last fill up, 68 bucks. 3.69 for super. tried running it on 87 and it had kr just cruising. didnt have to time to scan and tune ect ect. so back on 93. i was at the end of the tank of 87, so here have some yummy 93. no kr anywhere now. figures right lol

I feel the pain on the super. I’ve had to run it ever since I put a blower on it and since it was my daily it could get pretty expensive depending on where my job site was. Sucks when you have to spend $100+ a week in gas just to get back and forth to work. Now that I’m retired my fuel bill is way down, thankfully.

My average gas cost is nearly half then what it was..... Because I moved to Florida.
California was a gas eater. ( Hell...... 30 minutes to groceries...... An hour & a half to a "close by" race shop, etc. Not due to distance...... but time/ traffic !

( Current gas per gallon is 'up to' .. less than $3.00 )

lucky for me a tank of gas lasts a month. work is a 5 mile round trip.

Ahh E85….. but hell even that is a fawking dollar a gallon more than it should be!! 2.80 last fillup. I know who to blame, but will refrain from political talk.

I'm spending $25-$40 daily on fuel over here. Work related purposes. Plus I sit idling slot through the work day. I might just quit my job with these gas prices!! Haha!!

If it’s work related then your employer should pay you mileage or if not you can keep track of it and get a tax credit.

I tried that sometime ago....... You have to have a TON of receipts adding up to a TON of money to make the process for an additional tax credit refund worth it. ( If the "work-related" gas bill is DURING AN EMPLOYER'S request, then hope for a generous boss....now days)

If you are an independent contractor tracking all business expenses, then it can be included into general expenses. When I was working for myself, I would include expenses in the invoice. ( And just paying myself back)..

 

[treehan77]

Matches the calipers. Did you use my trick to remove the old ones?

I sure did RocketMan.

Yeah I have mileage reimbursement so it's all good

That dirty clamp was just a bandaid for me!! Ended up taking it to exhaust shop and had them replaced gaskets. But I hear you on the tears...
