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

[the 18th letter]

What did this shop charge? Everybody around here wants $250 per door including parts which is why I'm looking at doing it myself.

220 including the hatch release repair. They quoted me 180 for just the hinge pin and bushing replacement.

Gotta say, I like these bolt in roller pins though.

Heavy Duty Chevrolet/GMC 88-98 Truck Door Pin Rollers - Cunningham Machine

Designed to replace those bent or broken roller pins that have seized up over the years. A direct replacement for the original rollers.

I may cancel my AMZ order and go for these at least.

I’d be really tempted to try those. If you go that route, let us know? I have two that need to be done but no motivation to fool with it yet.

Installed a new wiper motor and fixed a short in the wiring for the windshield washer. Hopefully all is good with it for a long time now. Turned down an offer of $7000 for it at the shop I was at. The guy said other than paint, you can't find them in this good of condition. Always a good feeling when something like that happens. And he is a jeep guy. If he had said 8 or higher I may have been in trouble.

one thing I do miss from daily driving my 96 is all the offers to buy it lol. these gens are finally getting appreciated

Nothing.


For the last several days, or the next several.

Got most of the oddball tweaking and piddling wrapped up. Still a few left, but it's too hot outside for me. May not do much more til October or later. No reason to even drive for the next two weeks and the Taurus has been parked for a while, so I need to drive it for the next errand run.

 

[Mean_Green]

Went out to the garage and put a couple of things in the front seat so I wouldn't forget them next time I drive it, which won't be until about the 25th.

 

[dkknaebel]

yes, bronze. Just checked the site to confirm. It didn't take the shop long so I guess it was simple enough for them.

Heavy Duty Chevrolet/GMC Truck 1999-2007 (Classic) NBS Bronze Door Bushings - Cunningham Machine

Heavy Duty door bushings for the 99-07 (classic) Chevrolet/GMC trucks. Made from very high quality self lubricating bronze. Great fix for sagging doors.

I did the Cunninghams on my 2 door. Holding up great. Also did the rag joint delete that they sell. Definitely helped with some slop.

Drove Betty today after not driving her for a few weeks. Husband has been driving her. He tells me that my gas gauge was being weird. To say the least! That thing is doing it's best to do 360's but keeps getting hung on the oil pressure needle. I was so excited when I sourced this 120 cluster because it didn't seem to have that. So bummed.

Im more than happy with the bushings. I've finally learned not to slam my door now that it closes with a light push. Gonna order a set for my passenger door that's not bad but starting to scrape on the latch.

If you haven't, see this thread on their stuff:

Bolt In Roller Pins -- Cunningham Machine

On another thread somebody mentioned getting hinge pin bushings from Cunningham Machine and having a bump shop install them. That got me looking at their site where I found these roller pins that bolt in instead of some of the other methods from GM and aftermarket sellers. These are machined...

Why would I need new roller pins? Are these known to fail as well? I've had to replace my bushings at least 3 times in past 20 years but never the roller.

You’ll know when the roller stops turning or the shaft gets bent. The little arm that holds the door open then binds on the roller and clunks.

Listed it for sale today. Hate doing it, but getting in and out is getting to be too much for me with my disability.

Weird thing is my gas mileage went down a little the new motor in back

I spent the afternoon taking out my rear springs yesterday.

This front Bolt was a Pita!
The orientation is a design fault.

I was preparing to take the tank out to be able to get the pin out.
So I asked for advice and the answer was chop the thing off and reverse orientation when re assembling!

I thought yeah that sounds better!
Outside came off easy with the cutting wheel.
The inside by the frame was painful but got there in the end with it.

Am on holiday for the week so will take the springs down to get rebuilt today.

Going to add a leaf to firm the rear up to assist with load carrying.
Should handle much better.

Have new bushes to go in the springs and that will be all the link rod and suspension bushes replaced.

Might look to a heavier duty gas shock. These Munro's are better than the stock shocks i replaced em with so I'll see when the springs are back in!
