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

[2011TXDenali]

I was getting P0300 and P0304 codes along with a couple others I can't remember. Finally swapped out the spark plugs, wires, and an ignition coil. We got the Yukon with 120K miles, so I am guessing the plugs and wires were probably original. Codes are gone, everything is back to normal. Amazing what you can learn on YouTube.

Next up is replacing the transmission cooler lines. They are starting to leak a little more now. Anyone know what parts I would need for an 2011 Denali 2WD?

according to his kill map mostly around the central part of the city, they call it north but it's not really north, I live in the very northwest part of the city and I don't creep around at night lol so nothing for me to worry about, it looks like he may have got another victim about 2 nights ago but it hasn't been announced yet. To me he seems to be your very run of the mill killer so it won't be long before they catch him.

Dayum! I had no idea. I'd be carrying a loaded 9mm everywhere I went if that was happening here.

he's targeting hispanics alone at night or early am. I have no worries, now if it was something like the beltway sniper or something then there would be more to worry about

Phoenix had one for a while that was getting joggers and women out alone, they had hard time with that guy but they got him eventually.
this might be it

Cheapest houses for rent near me.
You'd be lucky to find a 600sqft 1 bedroom apartment for $1,600 anywhere around here.

All parts are finally in. Taking it in to get the rear end damage fixed today. Should have it back Friday. Also towed the camper down to West Virginia this weekend. Had a great time, forgot to take a picture.

When I dropped it off the receptionist said it would take 17! business days to repair. SAY WHAT?! Of course nobody with any knowledge was in who I could disCUSS with. We will see. And this was the most professional shop out of the three I got estimates from.

that's a pretty typical time frame for a bodyshop

... They were put on by the previous owner. They must be of reasonable quality as they are TuV/E marked (I bought the Yukon in Germany) and only decently constructed car parts will meet the TuV requirements. ...

If you find any markings or brand name on the wheel, let me know. From what I've seen, the market for 6x139.7 wheels that have the correct offset for these vehicles is basically nonexistent.

Same here and I live in the poor side of town. I might wait a few more years and then sell and move out of this damn city and buy something in the country for half the price. There’s a new listing up the street from me that’s $375k for an 800 so ft cottage. Mines more than twice that size and my lot is huge unlike most. There’s enough room to build another house.

Got the new Mechman 250amp alt installed after the original 165,000mi-old 160amp alt started dropping voltage at idle.
With the original alternator, my belt tensioner was perfectly in between the lines, with the new one having a smaller pulley, it's at the most loose part of the tensioner mark.

Did "the big 3" upgrade.
Still need to get some loom to cover up the wires from some abrasion that is likely to happen.
And once I run a new lead for my sub amp, I will shorten and re-terminate the wires going into the distribution block on the positive terminal to clean that up.
And although the original cable still looks great and hasn't had an issue, I will probably replace the wire for the starter as well at the same time as that other stuff.

I don’t know. The quote only has 20 hours of labor.

there is a lot more involved than just labor. I don't know how body shops even make it I guess because they are doing 5-10-15-20 vehicles or more at the same time, they have to take it apart and determine what parts are needed exactly because sometimes there are other damaged parts not on the estimate, then they have to source and order the parts and wait, in the meantime they go on to the next vehicle because if they stopped and waited they sure as heck ain't gonna make it. so if they are busy they go on to the next car and paint and prep there parts while yours are on the way, this doesn't count having to stop and clean the painting equipment for the next color (for each car), time for the paint they just did to dry and set, there is a lot involved including having to usually re-submit a revised estimate to the insurance and wait for approval, then on top of all that they have to "float" all the labor, parts, everything because they dam sure do not get paid on Friday they eventually get paid after you have your vehicle back whenever the insurance company decides to send a check. It's easily 2-weeks at pretty much any body shop, unless it's something easily repairable that they can do quickly even then it might be a week because there are other promised vehicles in front of you that they need to finish up and get paid for.

Had a spare key cut today. At first I was gonna just do a valet key but then decided that I wouldn’t do me any good if I lost my keys vs locked them in it. So, where would yall hide a key on your rig? I was thinking a hide a key magnet box and maybe make it look like a module with wires and a plug glued to the cover. I would place it in the back underneath somewhere.

If you're gonna use one of those, just make sure it's secured really good. I used to find a load of those hide a key magnet boxes on the sides of the highway with the keys still in them, when I worked for the DOT. I bet a lot of people were pissed when they needed it and couldn't find it.

My old man would wrap his in a rubber sheet and stick it into the tow hitch cross bar.

My original intake was busted up around the PCV tubing. Cracked and then reglued.

Took the opportunity to replace today with an Airaid 200-996 modular.

Perfect fit and everything needed is included

Do you have any rub with those?

Remember when they used to drill holes and use a slide hammer to pull out the dent then bondo over it? They don’t do that anymore. They just called and are ordering a new rear hatch. So now it’s going to be four days from when the hatch comes in.
