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

[SpareParts]

AR 10 is Bada**. My favorite!

 

[swathdiver]

What pressure? The one on the door sticker?

Usually, yes. This time I added 1 pound as the tires were wearing from slightly too little air. So they are now set to 31 instead of 30 when cold.

That Lage upper is pretty sweet. My buddy is mulling over one for his F/A Mac-11.

Mine is converting from 45 acp to 9mm with the 72 round sumi drums. It slows cyclic rate down to 750 rpm from 1080 rpm it can be a little picky depending on which drum I have in it..

I was going to ask if it used stick or drum mags. And, yeah, the factory cyclic-rate on my buddy's M-11 (.380ACP) is comical for use as anything other than a room-broom. It's like 1400RPM.

Anyone else find this as funny as I did? Saw it on Facebook. I believe it was a serious question. Lol

Today I took a sunset picture after hauling a Massey 135 to a happy friend of mine. I'm starting to question this being just an impulse buy, it has in fact been the very best vehicle I've ever driven. (backstory I was looking for a truck at the time one year ago but won it at an action due to a joke bid)

there very reliable if maintained properly, other than a flat tire I haven't been left on the side of the road in quite a number of years and even then that was my own fault.

We have yearly inspections over here determining road legality and I intentionally chose a notorious place that is known for meticulous inspection (the plus side is they allow you to be there pointing and asking as well, call it free check-up as a bonus) Dude didn't find any flaws whatsoever apart from sweating engine and the parking brakes. Dark brake fluid also caused it to fail inspection (bled the brakes yesterday and holy I've seen grey but never greenish-gray before.)

brake fluid requires a annual change in book

 

[Grady_Wilson]

I drove it 1,200 miles from So Cal to WY.
It drank 60.3 gallons of gas but I was going faster than usual because I wanted to get home.

I really need to do spark plugs and dump the trans fluid.

Compared rear axle (center) brake hoses..
2012 Tahoe on the left, 2013 Escalade with AXN axle on right.

It appears the stock 8.6" rearend has a longer hose than the 9.5" AXN brake hose.

Ends look identical, despite some different specs on rockauto regarding thread size.

and my shifter bushing crumbled/popped off today at 221,401 miles..

My guess is the MagnaRide or AutoRide does not have as much overall suspension travel as the standard suspension does.

Hadn't thought of that!

Looking at Rockauto my '12 tahoe has a rear shock extended length
Z71 is 606mm,
zw7 smoothride 606mm,
magneride shock is 575mm,
ppv is 543mm..

2" difference in hose length, I wonder if the larger pumpkin is making up a little distance too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at part numbers and the hoses I received,
Rockauto has the specs incorrectly listed showing

9.5" axle @ 15.9" (actually 13.8")
8.6" axle @ 13.8" (actually 15.9")
PPV listed at 15.9" despite having the shortest shock. (unknown)

I'll verify my old brake hose length tomorrow..

I just ordered the center hoses, and wondered about the difference in length.

Looks like a case for prophylactic use of a metal cable tie for backup!

Looks like a case for prophylactic use of a metal cable tie for backup!

it's pretty easy to fix without having to replace the cable

I used a plastic zip for now, actually made it a little tight and after shifting a few times, it stretched the ziptie enough to not bind, but it's barely hanging on down there! Plan to try one of those dorman fix it packs, unless someone has a better bushing for it.

I really like how one member here bolted a clamp on the arm, trapping the cable end when the bushing breaks again..

i ended up using a Fitzall T74498-1A, Then drilled the nipple and put a washer on the outside and a cotter pin. it been fine for over 4 years now
autoparts store has a multipack of small cotter pins, the nipple drills easily it's not hard metal.
I guess the dorman is probably similar, would still use a washer and cotter pin though, that makes it impossible to pop off again.

if I was going to use a metal bracket like you are referencing I would make it forked on the end and slip it under the nipple
with some springy metal sort of like this, that can be bent just right
***with a washer so it can articulate freely
