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

[Grady_Wilson]

I loosened the upper bolts when I did mine too. Made the job much easier.

For those with autoride struts reading this, remember to hit the electrical connector on top of them with electrical contact cleaner before reassembly (assuming you have them), or you'll get a suspension code. I've seen it happen to a few people here.

I used a dab of dielectric grease and mine were fine going back together.

Does the receiver poke out from the bumper, that you can't use a flush-looking cover ?
After looking at my '05 Yukon bumper & receiver...... I asked a silly question....

Yes and that’s the only one made for that bumper. When I paint it to match it will blend in better. Even the other style for the different bumper isn’t flush. Here’s the other style in case you’re not familiar.

 

[Grady_Wilson]

this is part of the reason why I always have 2 vehicles even if one is a pos beater or something that rolls. If I had room I would have 4-5 again, but no parking spots around here.
if one goes down just jump in another...
that bolt didn't look all that rusty, I wonder if someone over torqued it in the past...

I still have my 2002 Nissan Altima as an emergency vehicle.
It has 250k but still runs perfectly, I was driving it around the other day with the AC blasting because it was 92* for some stupid reason a few days ago in So Cal.
I will sell it before everything gets liquidated in Calif because it is not a snow car.
Too low, too much grunt from the V6 with no traction control and no ABS.
I have the Yukon and my mom's car up here in WY so I don't feel too bad, but I could never go back to only one car.

When I lived in California, I always had a 'back up" transportation... A motorcycle. No matter where I lived, I could stash it anywhere ( mostly a garage)...... I had it for 2 reasons..... If I was working on my truck, and also if there was a big earthquake, I could get around.

I kept a dirt bike handy for earthquake reasons for many, many years.

Been driving mine and just enjoying that the TC has been locking and unlocking like it should haha
I have been hoarding parts to do the aluminum front end refresh and I found this locally to add the weight reduction theme
Anyone ever rebuild a motor? This'll be my first.

I have done a Subaru ej255 and an Isuzu g180
But not an LS...but I have had this on the side of the house for nearly 2 years.
And a fair amount of parts for it, cam, lifters, valve springs, headers, head studs...
Hopefully taking it apart soon finally.

Looks like a pretty clean specimen to start with.

Nice!
This'll be my first engine. I'll be looking around for some parts and hopefully score some on marketplace. Been looking for heads but haven't had much luck.

L33?

It's and LC9.

Changed the oil in the Yukon and Sierra today. Both were done the same day back in December. Curiously, they traveled almost the same distance in the same amount of time at nearly the same average speed.

4,892 miles in 189 hours for an average speed of 25.9 mph. Spent $1447.20
4,831 miles in 187 hours for an average speed of 25.8 mph. Spent $1240.23

The 6.2 Sierra is more fuel efficient around town than the 5.3 Yukon XL.

Changed the oil cooler gasket in the Yukon, hoping that was the major source of oil underneath and maybe even the source of intermittent low oil pressure. We shall see.

A 2013 Denali XL hit the yard a few days ago went to look and some yahoo had sliced the seats with a razor and spray painted half of it so got the power fold mirror motors and left, figured I might grab a few more things today before it's stripped to bones, hardest part was the bose amp you have to pull both front seats, then the console then split the console open what a pain but now I have a spare amp, spare suspension control module, and spare lift gate system w/module $132

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Rolled 200,000k last night.

 

[Doubeleive]

Suspension control module was a pain tool it's bolted in from the top with a 10mm on one side and a13mm on.the other then it has to be moved out of the slots and getting the harness off was fun the clips were so brittle it basically broke apart, hopefully it will sit on the shelf for a long time lol

 

[Doubeleive]

Funny thing my key worked in it, I thought I was going to have to break the spare lock off but tried my key and it worked, so I went and tried the ignition after a couple wiggles it worked as well I guess the code was close enough

driving tonight and got to wondering. 2 of my gm cars have the auto dimming rear view and driver side mirror. for some reason gm never does the passenger side mirror. makes the whole system kinda worthless as the headlights just blind you from the right side haha. got me wondering if you could get a right hand drive mirror from some country, use the glass from it and wire it into whatever circuit controls all that.

anyone know if the made a right hand drive gmt900 of some sort?

you could run the dimming wires from the left over to the right, it's low voltage, do not do like me and try to apply 12volts lol, you will ruin the mirror instantly. I was experimenting and failed miserably I think that glass cost me like $80. It was a left mirror I am not sure where you could source a right glass with dimming maybe ebay uk or something.

I was noticing that on my drive from Calif to WY.
Never really noticed it until this last trip.
I figured the PO just had the right mirror replaced at some point and did not have the correct mirror installed.
It does have the blind spot detection and turn signal indicator but I figured it wasn't 100 percent correct.
Does make one wonder why the right hand mirror is not auto dimming.

right side was never an option for some reason. it's not as bad in the yukon because it taller but my c6 it's constantly annoying because everyone's headlights are taller than it, so you're below everyones cut off.

I need to do some googling.

Drove it! Took my bride out to her birthday dinner with the family and then back to granny's for cake and fellowship. Smooth as a jewel on the ride home, purring like a kitten. Life is good.
