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

[Teamiez]

Dude I was just yanking your chain. Looks like it worked. I couldn’t care less how many filters you buy. I always have the next one on hand. I don’t buy things in a knee-jerk reaction. My oil changes happen maybe 4 months apart. That gives me plenty of time to get another filter and oil on hand. My buying habits haven’t changed since the start of this pandemic. I shop exactly the same way I always gave and have never run out if things, it always cracks me up when I see people getting all stressed out and panic buying. It’s the reason things are so screwed up in the supply chain. It’s not designed for huge swings up and down. People need to learn patience snd planning ahead. Oh well, this has been great fun. I got a good laugh, thanks. Carry on.

Some things can sound different in person vs over text, just kinda seemed like you were mad that someone bought a few filters and threw off the supply chain lol...this isn’t something new I do because of this ‘pandemic’, I always have stocked a few of the filters and what not that I use on my shelves Just so they are there to grab at any time needed. I know there are a few others here that like wix and couldn’t find them previously so I put it out there that they were back in stock. Laughs were had all around I suppose, made my work day more entertaining.

Looks pretty close to the armor all packages lol...when you apply that do you wipe with a rag or just spray and go. Every time I try to gloss mine up it spits over everything when I drive

I spray it on this applicator and then wipe on the tire. And yes, it gets everywhere if I don't really spread it thin on the tire and let it sit for a while before I go for a drive.

Have all the parts to rebuild the front end, now rain and freeze for the next week I was kinda hoping I could get something done before it gets even colder but guess it's going to wait.....

Be a man! Do it! (j/k! I wouldn't do it either)

There’s nothing than that combination of cold and wet. I’d rather it just snow at that point.

AMEN!

Took her to the car wash to get some of the nasty grime off my heads. They were just caked with oil. Don’t believe they had ever been cleaned. Sorry I didn’t take any before pics.. I’ll try to dig one up..

Here’s a couple. Not great pics, but you can see how black the heads were. On another note.. this bracket is pretty hard to get clean. Any pointers are appreciated. Buy new..?

Spray it all down with some "purple power" and then hit it again, that stuff is strong I wouldn't do it in a confined area
try to not get water in the knock sensors (under the intake), alternator, ecm harness.

You could buy new. But, is the labor to swap it less than the labor to clean that one?

Yeah that was kinda a joke. Just need to apply more foam product and elbow grease I think.

Ah, lol
Being one that really doesn't like to clean, I gave that way too much thought.

I cleaned that bracket in place with Super Clean full strength, then masked off as best I could and sprayed it with VHT crinkle black paint. It’s a PIA to remove it, you have to remove the pulley off the power steering pump. The paint covered everything that’s visible.

Here’s mine @Sam Harris and now I took a picture I see I need to clean my engine bay so thanks for that.

Suburban decided to puke its guts out on the freeway. Limped it home. I’m in the middle of replacing coolant, radiator, quick connect on the heater core. Got the radiator from vatozone I did verify radiator comes with the restriction on the right tank. Have great heat up front not so much in the back. May have to empty it out and burp it via the top radiator instead of the overflow tank.

Removed the door mouldings and the 3m tape left yellow staining I have not been able to remove. Should have left them on.

Make sure to use an OEM t connector, the Dorman ones fail quickly. Some buffing compound and a good buffer should remove the yellow.

Added window shoks(?) to the rear window of the Suburban I'm resuscitating for my daughter. Tried to do the hatch, but the old ones decided to put up a fight. Of course, they are likely original...

 

[S33k3r]

Got the hatch shocks done today, and picked up some miscellaneous parts.

I did the big brake upgrade with the 2020 Silverado/Sierra rotors and callipers.
