Worked on the front sway bar. Did some possibly sketchy things, drilled some holes in the frame, made things work with what I had on hand. Went for a test drive and now have a shopping list for tomorrow.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I had the same thought, lol.
Ordered a new Denso A/C compressor, Four Seasons receiver/dryer, orifice tube and seals, along with a flush kit and solvent for the 2007. Pretty sure the compressor is shot. Going to have a shop evacuate the system, replace the parts, flush it out good and recharge. I have the vacuum pump and gauge set already.

Sounds like you ordered the same thing, but this is what I used.
My ac is working great.

What is the application for that compressor. Rockauto gives a different number.Sounds like you ordered the same thing, but this is what I used.
My ac is working great.
Amazon says it doesn’t fit but I have the smug satisfaction of knowing I paid about $60 more.Sounds like you ordered the same thing, but this is what I used.

Paid $950 to have some rust bubbles repaired in the same spot that small rust bubbles were repaired a year ago. This time you could see the pinch-welds we starting to rust, so they had to remove a section of metal, and replace/paint/etc...
I don't mind paying for the work in order to keep the rust/rot from propegating down the road (the way my sweet Armada eventually came to rest. engine/tranny still run great).
The kicker was that the driver's headlight bulb was dead when I picked the car up at night (last night).

And we ALL know what that entails to fix on one of these. In my opinion, headlight bulb access on the GMT 900's is the most bone-headed design I've ever seen. I hope somewhere there is an engineer cleaning bathrooms at a 7-Eleven as penance for their contributions to the collective misery of the world.

I just watched a couple videos where they went in behind the housing. Gotta see if I can squeeze my arm in there... might need to pull out my air filter heat shield.
The quickest way I've found is to:
1/ Turn the front wheels away from the side you're replacing
2/ Remove the fasteners for the front half of the fender liner on that side.
3/ Loosen the lower mounting screw (10 mm) for the headlamp assembly
4/ Remove the top mounting screw (10 mm) for the headlamp assembly
5/ Wiggle the headlamp assembly up and forward to remove it from its bay
6/ Remove and replace the bulbs (all of them, including the side marker and turn signal bulbs so you won't have to do this again anytime soon).
7/ Toast to your success with a glass of whisky.

How big are ya'll hands? I have been able to loosen the 2 bolts holding the assembly to the core support, sort of dislodge from the mounting points, which then give me enough room to get my hand behind the assembly. Some of you must have big ol' bear mits for hands....

We'll find out.
I have bear mit's and I can do it. Just did it 2 weeks ago. Low beams aren't too bad but the high beams are worse. I remove the air filter box, driver's side battery tray and washer reservoir bolts. Top bolts from the housings. IMO the worst part besides skinning up your hands is you can't see to well when clocking the tabs on the new bulbs in.
If you have to remove the housings it's not a big deal to do it the way @Geotrash stated. I use a 1/4" drive palm ratchet for the lower housing bolts in the fender.

it's what came up for my 09 with rear AC.
It was also an exact match of the one that it replaced.
