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

[Doubeleive]

Those were all YIELD signs, they look similar to Stop signs

my take on stop signs is, if I do not impede anyone else's travel then I proceed. be it pedestrian, bicycle, opposing traffic.
if I approach a stop sign in a open area and there is NO ONE in sight in any direction I am not going to stop, I might slow down just to be sure it is clear depends.....

That'll change after the one time you fail to see someone, or someone runs a stop or light and t-bones you while your family is in the car and they all end up in the hospital

I am not saying I run every stop sign I see. I have been t-***** myself actually more than a couple times, been rear ended more times than I can remember, I have ran into one person way back 25 years ago, they were speeding around a corner I didn't see them coming when I pulled out from a stop, I rear ended one person about 30 years ago looking out the passenger window at some chick and not watching the traffic in front of me. I can't think of any other accidents that were my fault except 2 that were self induced and involved no one else. I rolled my 4runner and played pin-ball with my 99 obs pickup on a overpass. both times in the RAIN.
I do drive fast "sometimes" it is bad habit, I have slowed down a lot my foot used to be in the pedal all the time but that get's expensive breaking transmissions & rear ends
the yukon in my sig has been rear ended, and someone blew a red light and hit the front left corner
silverado has been rearended also, every one hits me! got rear end before in another truck got the truck back from the shop was driving it home and got rear ended again!

A very wise exercise, as I was reminded last evening!

Matter of fact I’ll be throwing the impact in the truck for those 2 trips now. You got me skitzing.

I shouldn't have been speeding yesterday (or at all) but I was late to the post office, got a ticket in October need to watch it for a good while...

cops are extremely rare by my house since I live on the outer edge of the police/sherriff perimeter one side the street is police the otherside is sherriff, plus I was in hurry to get to the post office. I don't know why people can't merge it's not that hard......

People can't drive in a straight line through an empty parking lot without a traffic jamb. Merge? Foolishness!

Ahhhh…

Bought a new spare as well.

Just installed my impulse Christmas present to myself… the red stitching is a little cringe, it’s just a little too extra. I’m thinking about returning it for the all black leather version, no CF with grey stitching. Planning on wrapping the faux wood with CF vinyl.

Yester... Oh, it's almost 1AM- Friday, I added 799 miles to the odometer. Drove to Wimauma, FL. No pics in FL, but I took one of my stop at the beach in Gulfport, MS:

It's illegal for police to enforce laws in California anyway.

Still searching for a post hub replacement noise on the driver's side.... Sounds like a scraping/dragging/rubbing noise.

Yesterday I pulled the wheel, caliper, and bracket to clean everything up, and double-check my work. Everything looked & felt ok, except that the brake pad grooves were filled in with undetermined schmutz, and I'm not sure what would have filled in the pad grooves. I scrapped them clean with a small flathead, reassembled everything, and bled the caliper. Spinning the tire before dropping the truck to the ground yielded no noise so I thought everything was fine. But as soon as I started driving the noise came back.

I drove around for 15 mins, and did the pad bedding procedure to see if maybe that would help get everything back into alignment after the failed hub was replaced, but nope.


Now, because I didn't check, I think it might be the pad hardware/stainless clips that provide that comically small amount of return pressure so the pads don't drag on the rotating rotor.

Any thoughts before I race out in between the rain and pull the wheel off again?

I’ve noticed that even though both inner and outer pads, look identical, on some pad sets, the rivets are in a different position such that they will interfere with the caliper piston if installed at the inboard position. This was true for the Powerstop pads I just installed on my ‘07.
