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

I broke the defroster connector today. Knowing this is a frequent failure, I avoid opening the glass. And when I do open it, I don't let it swing all the way. It broke anyway, while the glass was closed.

At least its fixable.

I had my rear glass replaced like 6 months ago, by safelite, partially because the stock one had that issue, and also it was scratched pretty bad.
Within a month or two, the new Safelite glass did the same exact thing and I only opened it once or twice. But it popped off while it was sitting there closed, and I had not even turned on the defroster once.

I knocked out several projects in the past few days on my 2009 Yukon XL Denali.

- Replaced passenger side CV axle
- Replaced rear brake rotors and pads (PowerStop Z23 rotors with ceramic pads)
- Replaced starter

Next projects :

- Air ride delete / New front and rear shocks and struts
- Replace fuel pump / sending unit and all fuel lines

The beast is running real good! Going up to Grand Lake for Christmas this weekend with the family and I'll probably hit 150k on the odometer while I'm up there! Currently at 149,500!

Not sure how good it works, but I've seen people warm up the coiled wire with a hair dryer (or more carefully with a heat gun) and stretch it out a bit while the wire is warm. Hold until it cools, and it should stay a bit stretched. That should take some of the tension off the connections.

Frostfighter FTW.

I just repaired that on my K2 last week.

Took it to bring Kin out for Greek dinner for bonding time and to celebrate her acing all her CLEP exams. 100% or greater on all of 'em. Starting her collection of college credits! Also filled up with 22.xx gallons of E85 at $2.19.

Mine fell off too. I did the rear frost, and wiper arm delete. and double 5% tint. Rear squirter still good for attacks.

Why would you delete the rear wiper?

My rear defroster stopped working last year. Neither of the connectors popped off, but it just doesn't get any heat. I've swapped the relay with a known good one, but still....

It would be nice to have.

It broke. It's an accessory I don't need.

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Coincidentally enough, my rear wiper worked on the way home yesterday, and won't work at all this morning. Wonderful

I just hire a couple of these guys for the rear window..

Just saw them on the road today! ?

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Silly Ford guys, don't they know they can open the rear doors and ride in the back seat?

I want an A-pillar grab bar even more now..

Looking at the photos, the roof rack they are holding onto looks like it may extend partially over the camper...
possibly to provide grip for someone standing in the rear position.

Drove from Denver up to Columbine Lake in Grand County this morning for our Christmas vacation. Got the Thule on because Santa couldn’t fit all the presents inside the vehicle

Looks like your lugs did the same as mine - waiting on replacements to arrive tomorrow and rid my truck of those rusty spline lugs.

I was one of the unlucky folks who had a vehicle burn to the ground because of that thing. NO THANKS.

They "disabled" the one on the avalanche. Gave the credit. One day, I accidentally bumped the button and....it still works

I tucked my wire into the interior panels after wrapping it with electrical tape.
