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

[ch4d]

So i roll into the shop today and guess what i find when i open the door.....

and more parts YAY they pulled the block then i am taking it to another guy to get the whole block broken down and checked and then check clearances and everything! then change out the ignition then dyno and back in the hoe!

and the lifters to???

The point of cam break in with std hydro lifters was to establish the wear pattern correctly, there is no wear pattern on rollers. You can let them soak in oil like AtomicHoe said or use some assembly lube on the cam during the build.

And don't forget to the dizzy twist.

Getting ready to do a brake job...then sending the ECU out for a lil update. After that Tires on next weekend and soon after a good washing here at the house to get rid of all the winter

So I went to do an oil change and the filter I picked up doesn't fit, it's the one the book told me to get. I went with Mobil 1 and it is an M1-201.

 

[SunlitComet]

2wd or 4wd determines the filter number.

 

[rushr]

yeah, I saw that. Mine is a 4WD which is what the part number goes to. But it isn't as big around as the one that's one there and it doesn't screw on. I guess I'll cross reference the one that is currently on.

I was told that the motor was replaced, I wonder if it was replaced with one from a 2WD

 

[SunlitComet]

it is the oil cooler adapter that changes it. perhaps something went screwy with that.

 

[rushr]

A mechanic mentioned the other day that he didn't see any oil cooler lines and maybe it was deleted. How would I know for sure?

 

[SunlitComet]

2WD

4WD

 

[rushr]

My filter comes straight down just like the 2wd version.

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

drove it around town doing errands. water pump is squealin like a ******. gotta dig out the recipt to see if it was a lifetime or not, if not im sourcing a new one somewhere other than napa since this is the second one to bite the dust in the last few years... and they were the "good" ones...

Lets see...Been a busy day here...One thing lead to another...but it had to be...

The evaporator core was a little plugged...

A little simple green and a hose...

Replace both front rotors, new pads..and was missing a caliper bolt...

Replaced the fronts...didnt have time for the rears.

Replaced the fuel pump ground...this was causing intermittent no starts and stalls. Running like a top now.

Removed the 95 only ashtray, and replaced with new one.

Installed the new painted needles.

Replaced all 4 bulbs in the ac control...3 were out.

Fit in the new console.

The new needles at night.

About time I got something done...lol

what year ashtray did you put in yours and any pics of it opened up? thinking about doing the same with mine

 

[rushr]

Finished up changing the oil today. Figured out my 4wd requires a filter for a 2wd, I don't have much clearance between the front shaft and the filter.

I think one of my next projects will be changing the interior from grey to black. Planning on black suede headliner and some red suede inserts on the doors.

After buying back my truck from the insurance company Friday, spent my spare time the last couple days using my tweezers, a toothpick, and pocket knife removing a few pieces to replace. Yay fun.
