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

[iamdub]

After solving the water-in-oil problem(?), I decided to dump an entire can of Seafoam into the crankcase to help in flushing any fouled oil from the system. I am especially worried about the pushrods being plugged. Think I'll drive it for 25 miles+/- then do another oil change.

Anyone see any problems in doing this?

I don't like the idea of dumping an entire can in the crankcase. Too risky, IMO.

If it's already in there, just let it idle for a few minutes (Maybe 5-10?) then drain it. For a mild flush-while-you-drive, supposedly ATF is a good one. Add one quart and run it for a few hundred miles.

When my van was having 0 oil pressure--was gunked up really bad--

He added a few quarts to my oil and let it idle for around 10 mins. He said that was good enough. Hopefully you won't have any big chunks that'll knock loose and clog up some oil galleries or pushrods.

It's pretty cheap Dave, except for that $500 delivery charge !

@05Single, not sure what you have in mind, but while googling I found a nice how-to.

It always amazes me that we can take one of the NBS that’s been not very well taken care of for 15 years or more, clean it up and do some much needed maintenance on, and we can make it look almost like new again. You can’t say that for most vehicles this old.

Got a local powder coating shop to paint my calipers and towing hooks. Also, finally replaced 2 hoses on the picture with stainless steel ones.

Finished plumbing my air bags. Ride quality is surprisingly better.

Also, went to a local junkyard the other day to get some bits and pieces and saw a real example of automotive gore:

And a very interesting artefact:
