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

[Tonyrodz]

Yeah BOO @Tonyrodz summer is AWESOME!

I miss the cold

 

[Rocket Man]

I miss the cold

I HATE the cold! I can’t feel my fingers.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Non-taken.

I see a video of the newer headlights with the led C-bars that flash like that. I kind of dig it.
I havent seen halos do that. So will have yo try.

I was looking at these--

They have that led bar, and look really good.

Ahhh, but you can put gloves on--even thin gloves to work. Can't do anything when you're outside sweating bullets with no ac in sight. I literally melt in this heat!

Gloves thick enough to help means I can do my work. The thin ones just make the cold ********* worse. My fingers end up turning blue and hurt like hell. Nothing hurts in the summer, but I don’t live where you do either. Our summers are mild, and we have low humidity with almost no bugs, clear cold rivers, cool nights...ahhhh summer.

WOW! Your summers sound like heaven! Summers here are horrible. Most times are high humidity, mosquitoes(near me anyway)and mostly humid miserable nights--if you don't have ac, you're screwed!
This is the temp and humidity now, at 12 AM.

Yeah I know, I’ve been back there in the summer. No thanks. We get a handful of 100* days but mostly 80’s , some 90’s and 30-40% humidity, and most nights it cools to 60 or so. Our rivers will still take your breath away when you jump in even in the middle of summer. Unfortunately the Pacific Ocean is pretty too much too cold to spend much time in, and the coast almost never sees 90. But if it gets too hot in the valleys you can head over there and cool down, or into the mountains. We have year-around skiing if you’re into that. Our mountains are real. We also have Eastern Oregon where it’s a high desert and very little precipitation but there’s some awesome cold rivers that are great for whitewater rafting, and it stays hot over there all summer.

I don't know you people can stand to live in the east, you gotta come take a vacay over this way it's so much nicer, it's hot where I am but no humidity and skeeters are usually only around where there is water but Oregon and Washington are real nice, Washington is mostly a subtropical rainforest it's normally in the mid-80's rarely does it hit anywhere near 100, big giant ferns and lots of undergrowth like huckelberry and other plants it rains a lot but it mellows down as you travel south into oregon and northern ca

Years ago my gf lived in San Diego for a few years. She said it was really nice--except for the earth quake tremors! That was like 30 yrs ago.

I might finally be pulling the motor out of my Silverado next week so don't let me beat you to the burnouts!

What're you doing to it? What's the plan?

 

[Dantheman1540]

Pull out to tear down and identify the point of failure. Which I honestly have no idea what happened Long WOT pull from 2nd through 3rd gear and just a bit into 4th at about 90mph or so and it completely nosed over. I didn't hear a pop or anything but it was just holding a rough idle of about 150-250rpm and low oil pressure around 5psi. However I think that's all the pressure it should have at 200rpm. Tried to start it once and It sounded like something was grinding. Pulled it home and checked plugs, they looked good so I bored scoped the cylinders which also looked good. Drained oil and it looked good, cut open the filter and it looked good. So I have no freaking idea. I need to pull the blower and valve covers and see if anything obvious is wrong before I pull it.

My assumption is cam bearing spun and block is likely trashed as that is what happened to this block originally. If that's the case then I will likely build a forged 408.

 

[Dantheman1540]

I had a solid 70psi of Oil pressure throughout the pull before it nosed over and was only running about 8-9psi of boost. AFR also looked good.

That def doesn't sound good. I'm wondering what my guy is gonna find when he pulls out my old cam.

Maybe with a little luck one of us can salvage our cams.

I installed mine today. I didn't like the rigged 4hi, so I bought the fleece module. P&P
