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

[Sparksalot]

The split and patched area of the old one. The split was nearly 3” long, but at the top of the tank, opposite the hot return hose.
JB Weld held it for about 700 miles, with the pressure cap on very loosely.

P/N GMT569A?
Looks like they changed the tanks then.

That’s the one.

for the restriction, I cut the original piece from the old radiator. It’s inline in the overflow at the reservoir end.

I thought about doing that with mine also.

That’s the one.

Now I feel ripped off, you're end tanks are definitely larger, and you didn't have the pain in the urse of trimming fan shroud.

Tank envy!

After an engine warm up, then test driving about 20 miles I’m pleased. The engine is running 7-10 degrees cooler on the highway. The transmission is 25 degrees cooler.

To circle back on the wheel cap spacers, I found some similar size ones in the hardware bins at Lowes. They’re nylon, about a buck a pair.

Livid.. lights just got here, but looks like UPS dropped them..... You had one job!!!! Wtf is wrong with people.

Banged up box. Paint chips here and there where things shifted. This one for example. It wasn’t like this in his photos. That took some serious force to mess it up like that. The lens is actually dented. One of the high beams is popping out a little, and at least one of the bowls (the entire piece for LB/HB) is knocked out of place.

But here’s a garbage pic of a mock-up if you wanted to get an idea.

If you use rubber it will hold tension for a while.

I would hope so lol, and the rest of the Tahoe too, right? It’s the same paint code

The shrouds on a Morimoto mini H1 barely clear the lenses on stock NNBS headlights, mine on my Silverado are so close I think they’re touching and it looks like yours are the same. Were they packed in foam that the housings fit snugly in? Either way that sucks. I suppose you have to file a claim with UPS? You could probably bake the lens off and touch that up. Maybe you’ll get the lights for free.

There’s about 1/8” gap and the lens is very rigid. On the lower mark, the inside of the lens actually looks a little dented from the inside. I’m guessing the bowls were jolted enough to move forward and hit. Yeah they were in foam and seemed to be packed well enough, but they were probably thrown around.

Not sure if I have to deal with UPS or if he is. He already replied saying to call him tomorrow about sending them back, and that he’s going to fix them

He better for what he’s charging you for those lights…

I agree, and based on my prior conversations with him, I never had any doubt that he would make it right. And not sure if that’s a jab at his prices, but I think the pricing is totally reasonable.

JB Weld? That repair is good for another 100K!

Not a Jab at all. Just know he’s gonna stand behind his product with what he’s charging. You get what you pay for, and if you pay, by god you’re gonna get. He’s gonna make it right…

It was still leaking a bit because I couldn't reach the area effectively to work it in. Not badly, since I only lost 2-3 quarts of coolant in the 500 mile beeline home.
