What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Got my aircon going yesterday after 2 years of no connection. Had a repair done on the inlet manifold a couple of years ago and the mechanic bent the pins in the plug. I finally succeeded in straightening the pins with it in place and We have cold air again!! :favorites37:- 97YukonNZ

The Shakes
Could it be a vacuum leak? An air leak in the valley or a vacuum line disconnect . The didn't take the distributor out and are 180° out or maybe a couple if lead positions out causing the miss. Could be an easy fix.- 97YukonNZ

This is normal right? Coolant temp drops slightly when heater is turned on. It is cold out.
Yes Back in the day when hill climbing our little cars here in New Zealand we were taught that if your car started to overheat you could cool it somewhat by turning the heater on.- 97YukonNZ

What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
I spent the afternoon taking out my rear springs yesterday. This front Bolt was a Pita! The orientation is a design fault. I was preparing to take the tank out to be able to get the pin out. So I asked for advice and the answer was chop the thing off and reverse orientation when re assembling...- 97YukonNZ
