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

[TheAutumnWind]

Every wheel hub assembly that I've ever seen always came with a new wheel speed sensor.

Wrll shit i should have just done the hubs when my sensors went out

 

[TheAutumnWind]

nice work, but why you hate your driveway so much? lol

Lol. Most of that is brake cleaner to get the drips... I just sprayed a whole can. But yes i did a poor job collecting the leaking brake fluid.

Wind blew away my crush washers. I had the brake line pinched and in a small bucket but while i ran to the nearest autozone it blew away and i ended up with more of a mess than i expected.

Im also chasing a bunch of leaks. Weeping oil cooler and trans cooler lines, leaking trans pan gasket so the driveway is screwed already. Ill pressure wash in the spring.

lol oh no its not, brake clean evaporates so fast. thats all brake fluid..... at least its cement, no damage other then the stain.

Brakes work great. Ground is wet atm so traction is the limitation and already had fresh fluid, new rear pads, stock hydroboost and stainless lines.

I set down the can to take the pic. But yeah it was a mess.

My lower trans line was leaking where it went into the radiator--at the fitting. I changed the fitting--what that clip went into--and it's good. Guess it was worn out. Is yours leaking from that area?

If anyone is curious ive got this much $ into this swap:

$85 for ssbc rotors they are blanks. I snagged one off amazon "used like new" for 20 and one normal price at jegs.

Rotors: $32 per powerstop rotor after core charge.

$40 for the set of pads. Durastop max ceramic with $10 off 50 coupon.

So less than $200. It needed rotors nd pads anyways plus caliper were due for a rebuild so... Same price as replacing with an oem setup really.

I previously replaced all the flexible lines with stainless and spent pess than 100 iirc

My trans line was leaking at the crimps where it went from hard line to rubber line and at the quick connect fittinginto the rad. I deleted the connection to the rad and cut out the crimped connection and rubber lines and replaced with flares, new rubber, and clamps

Went with an external trans cooler. Think I remember reading that. Trans cooler lines are pretty cheap at the dealer. My cost for the lower was $25. Dormans was $30.

I had a factory external cooler. Then i upgraded to a better one. Got it for $65 ish ( ACDelco 89022577 GM Original Equipment Automatic Transmission Auxiliary Fluid Cooler https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C9TRWG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7TUfCb3DF43YV) Now i have decided to run only the external and bypass the radiator.

Yeah the stock lines are like $20ish a piece plus the fittings are like $10 and I used less than a foot of hose to fix the problem and i don't have to worry about the rad failing (mine is original with 160+k) and making strawberry sherbert in the trans. Plus better cooling since i dont have the rad heating up the trans anymore. I live in sf bay area in cali so i dont get much freezing temps but lots of triple digits.

I have to drop the trans pan to replace the gasket soon so ill put in an external filter too. Then i dont need to drop the pan ever again.

That's sucks man. Did they get the wheels too?

Made some subtle changes to the back of the yukon, can you find them?

View attachment 212472

No, as this is the wrong section bud. Nnbs section is where you wanna be

 

[ScottyBoy]

Bingo.
Surprised it stayed on this long. I got home after the touchless car wash and started to dry it off when I saw the cap missing. Had a mini heart attack. Went back to the car wash and had the attendant there check the bay. It got blown off and was pushed to the corner of the wash bay.

So with another one of GMs lazy design. Theres no way to keep these from falling off unless you glue them. I was thinking rubber cement but that wouldnt hold up in the weather for long. Maybe something a little stronger and weatherproof from home depot. Something not super permanent

Maybe a hot melt glue gun? I'd add just enough to get it to stick, but not so much that you could not pry it off in the future.

LED upgrade! Trans temp!

Ha! Normal bulbs for now, and I definitely did something wrong with the voltage gauge. Oh well, 5 outta 6 ain’t bad. At least the speedo works
