Picked these up today for just $200. Gonna get some 33s on them and throw them on after I get my lift.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

This is like totally taking forever lol.
Washing, polishing, waxinf truck again. Not using ultimate compound this time. I wanted to do this again because it rained and got dirty again. This time I bought better things, no more polish from the 90s and new cloths. I'll post pics when I'm done because it will actually be light out
Finished up the install of my Tru-Cool Max trans cooler behind the lower bumper grill. Perfect fit! I painted it black and it's almost invisible.

First oil change since I picked up my Yukon last June. Just hit 160k, and 5k since I got it. Decided to make the switch to Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5W30 Synthetic and a Mobil 1 M1-107A filter. It's what I've been using in my Ford Focus (5W20 & M1-102A) the last few changes, and it really silenced the valve train noise I had in that. I don't have any engine noise from the Yukon, but I'd also like to keep it that way.
I also decided that I had had enough of the chrome front of the Denali trim, and blacked out the mesh insert to tone it down. The grille already had a split in the plastic frame along the lower edge directly below the emblem when I bought it. Since it was already damaged I figured it was a good test piece to see if I liked the look. Worst case I would eventually need to replace it, and could go back to the stock look at that point.
I like the way it turned out. While I had the grille off I blacked out the support frame behind the grille, epoxied the break in the plastic, and reinforced the patch with a steel bracket for some added strength.
Now once the paint cures in 5-7 days I can take it out for a wash, and get the last of the winter road salt and the new spring pollen off.

People piss me off! This is why I try to find an end spot every time we go anywhere. Well, this side was not against the curb while we were at the mall today... Yes it's extremely dirty, been raining non stop, but seriously!

So I tried to seafoam the intake on my Yukon XL like I've done on a couple of other trucks I've had.
Normally once I start spraying the seafoam in there, and get enough where it bogs the engine down a little bit, I'll start getting some smoke out tail pipe, it didn't seem to matter how much I sprayed into the TB. It would barely bog, and it never smoked.
So after about fifteen minutes of messing with it, I decided to do some cleaning instead.
I used STP Son of a gun and got some parts nice and shiny.
I wanted to pull off the "Vortec" cover to clean it better, but I discovered the brass bushing just spins in its hole, so no dice.
I went around to the back of the truck, and tested out how this stuff would on the vent covers.

Can't begin to tell u how much I will NEVER use Firestone. They could give me free parts and labor and I wouldn't touch it. Hopefully u can get it fixed. I would just back the bolts out a little. U may be able to still see the clean threads and this will get u back in the ballpark, I wouldn't trust them to figure it out. I hit my torsion bolts with some red paint as a reference point when I pulled my lower control arms.
