What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Swagfu]

Hi
What is it you have there?
I see the barn doors. Model year?
I would like the Dual exhaust system just not sure if I can here with the fuel tank up the driver side.

Hello. I have a 1999 Tahoe LT 4x4 with 4 doors if that helps you.

Thursday at work, changed my oil. Pennzoil 5w30 only when it’s on sale at Canadian Tire. 435k kilometres on the old girl. $8 a gallon gas up here is having an effect on the joy of driving it every day….

Per Google, $8 Canadian is about $6 for those of us south of the border.

Damn.

It’s around $3.80 here (Mississippi) which isn’t great but it varies by each state’s tax structure and a bit of voodoo tossed in for good measure. Those guys in California probably pay the most, comparable to you.

That's pretty high prices. We are at $4.20 a gallon here in central Florida. Gets up in your range and I will have to start riding a bike every where.

So I changed out my dash lights to LEDs today. What a pain it was for me. I am disabled and have difficulty with my hands and fingers so of course I dropped a cluster screw somewhere in the dash. I guess the dash gods have gained another sacrifice. Also, I have a incline in my driveway and set the parking brake. Of course the cable snapped as it was probably never used. So now I will have to replace that too. But I will buy the part and have a friend do it. Does anyone know the part number? I looked on RockAuto and there were like 20 choices. I have a 99 4x4 4dr. Looks like it is only the cable under the dash. Oh...almost forgot....It looked like the LED's all worked but maybe 1. Hard to see in the sunlight. I will have to check it tonight. Thanks for any help fellas,

The cable that connects to the release handle is this one:

I havent driven to work yet this year.
Petrol is about $13.50 a gallon. I have spent $340 for the year so far.
Petrol isn't the reason I'm cycling tho. Needed to loose some weight and start looking after myself better. Have lost 30 pounds and loving the bike

Anyone replace their interior window scraper/sealing strip? Mine gave up. I found a Dorman one but not sure how it attaches since the original is stapled onto the door panel.

It is possible you will have to attach the new one in the same fashion.
You could hsve a look on YouTube.
Someone will have recorded changing 1 im sure.

Same fashion. I did that today from a donor door panel but the sweep was so old, it just pulled through. Oh well Rock Auto the rescue.

Just replaced my MB Qartz with Skar speakers up front. Holy crap. Those things are insane.

Yep, you just restaple it. You can try to salvage the existing staples, punch holes in the new one and feed the staples through.

Edit: oops, looks like you already sorted it out.

Spent the last couple of hours wasting oil trying to get the coolant out of the pan (1998 K1500). It’s my son’s truck and I just replaced both heads which were cracked and hydro locked the engine.

Short of dropping the pan (and front differential), will pouring enough cheap oil through this eventually get the coolant out? I haven’t tried to start it yet.

 

[97YukonNZ]

You could chuck a filter and oil in it and run it up to temp then drain n change.
Think you will only get so far with what youve done running cheap oil through it.

When I bought my GT in ‘97, gas was .50 cents a litre. Then a couple years later, all the service stations had “gas wars” pricing. I would fill my tank for 40 bucks, pop in a CD, pick up all my buddies and go cruising! Gas hit $2.16 a litre today. I just ordered a Ford Mach E. I am hoping to qualify for collector plates, and drive the Yukon on weekends.

Thanks, that’s kind of what I’m thinking after doing this and not getting very far. I replaced the oil cooler lines and cleaned out the adapter (full of chocolate milk) so those should be good. Going to crank it up, warm and drain and see how it looks.

Did this today. Nothing major obviously.

Tidy looking Rig!!
Nice plate mate!

Lloyd's Mat came into today. I like it. I wanted something a little out of the normal. What do you guys think?

Hey
It looks well fitted. No way that will slip up under the gas pedal!
Do yoy plan on taking it out every now and then to let the carpet breath?
I guess summer will be all good but i would think youll get some moisture trapping there when its wet maybe.
Nice job!
