What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[mattbta]

This came in, need to get it welded in:


Took the NNBS shifter out, cut the shaft with a dremel and bent in a vice, so the position was not pointing entirely downward when in Drive. If I'd have been thinking, I would have flipped around the keys in the ignition so you could see the Boost Auto Parts fobs.

I’m nervous. But just how nervous should I be about this oil cap looking like this.

It's winter now, so there's a lot of natural moisture condensation. I wouldn't worry too much, as long as ur coolant level stays the same and thee's no milkshake inside the crankcase

It’s not the condensation that would worry me, it’s the yellow crud.

the yellow crud is the condensation build up. seen this in many cars and trucks. its the short drive curse. engine never gets to full temp in winter with a short commute. then the moisture never steams off.

Wouldn’t hurt to pull a rocker cover and have a look though, just to ease any worries. I do mostly short trips, never seen that on any of mine.

I always hear it "could" be from short trips, but usually it ends up being a small internal leak if I drive a mile my trucks are heated up

Wife said washer nozzle appeared clogged.

Turns out the line is busted... Damnit. Sprays fluid all over the battery. Pulled battery to get better look and the tray is all rusty.

Cleaned up and painted battery tray. Didnt fix washer.

I finally ended up replacing the busted line. Still have low pressure at the passenger size nozzle. I think I messed up the nozzle when I was trying to figure out the issue.

I might just replace the whole arm as I am having trouble finding a replacement nozzle.

you could peek in the fill tube with a flash light. my 3800 and just about everyone on that forum always got the yellow crap under the cap, way worse then his was. under the vc everything is normal. you clean it off put it back on week later your see clear water droplets inside the cap. my 05 hoe had it last year when last looked. camaro seems to be ok so far, but i dont have a real cap, its aftermarket with a filter on it.

i need to open up the hoes catch can, id love to see what treats have built up in there by now. have not looked at since a week after i put it on. and it had some oil in it already, teaspoons worth.

You don’t fold half your second row down so your buddy can roam around? My Malamute loves to go look out the rear window. Man would he love that snow!

I've got EXT, it's a pick up basically, so there's really no room to roam. I tried to fold them, but he likes to stick out his head and watch surrounding while we driving.

Having said that, he destroyed the seats with his nails. I would have to work something out when I decide to refresh leather on my seats.

Ahh, I didn’t notice, not very observant. Mine loves sticking his head out too, then run to the back and stare at the car behind us, then stick his head out the window. And yeah my second row seat is taking a hit.

He could also try pulling the lower part of the seat out and tucking that moving blanket in and around the seat as a temp fix. The Carhartt cover material should be thick enough to protect against his nails. Worst case scenario--rear lower seats are cheap in the junkyards.

That’s a great idea, Tony! I’m gonna look for one for mine. Everything looks new except the lower driver side rear, where Kinjo stands and looks out the window. Those Carharts are like $450 for the second row only, that’s ridiculous. And I only need the bottom of the one side.

Thanks guys. I'm actually trying to put the pin IN, not remove it. This blue part the arrow points to prevents the pin from inserting. You can see I damaged it a little fiddling with it. When that part is removed, it allows the pin to insert. Then it slides over the top of the pin to keep it in place. It won't push left out of the way to allow the pin to go in. But I think the only way to do that is to remove the entire white plug but I have no effing clue how to do that. That screw won't come all the way out.

If I remember correctly, you need to remove the bolt there in the center of the connector block and then unplug it. The TPA slides in from the side, it's kind of like a long-toothed comb. It should be something like this:

 

[mattbta]

Thanks, Doug. I couldn't get that bolt in the center out, it just spins. And pulling on the white connector only yielded ~3/8" of movement. Didn't want to FUBAR it, so went a different direction.
