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

[Sam Harris]

Source for OEM Knock sensors and harness..? I've been looking around, and strangely, there seem to be more than one option. I found the sensors on Summit, $65 each: 12589867, and they don't seem to have the OEM harness...?

I also ordered a Gates water pump, p/n: 45006, as I had this in my Amazon cart as a -just in case / down the road item.. Now that I'm looking up part numbers, I want the OEM ACDelco pump.. And looking on Summit, I see Delco: 12703898, and 19195104. Both say they fit, and they look a little different.. wth..

I'll go look on Rock Auto. Hopefully that helps.

ETA: Looks like the 12703898 is the GM OE part, and does not include the thermostat. I'll get this one... On that note.. any reason to go with a t-stat cooler than stock..?

@Rocket Man @iamdub, do I really need cooler plugs, or were you just reacting to my quip about throwing an LSA up top...? I'd love to do that, but damn, even this "little" experiment is really piling on the cost with the nickel and diming of all the "supporting mods" and "while we're in there"..

Oh, and my 2nd vehicle I use to save a few bucks on fuel, since I'm now driving 670 miles a week, just to shuttle the kiddo back and forth to school... Oh, she gave up the head gasket 2 days ago. So I have to either swap the motor, or do the head gasket before I can think about getting the truck in the shop for the fun stuff. Not that 99% of it is here yet... lol

I didn’t say anything about cooler plugs. I don’t think you’ll need them but @iamdub is more experienced than me so maybe he’ll chime in. Sorry about your daily’s head gasket. But replacing that shouldn’t be too hard from what I hear although I’ve never done one. Sorry I’m not much help Sam.

That sux.
Pretty sure @iamdub was the guy talking about the coolant "bypass ". I'm not sure if that's the correct term he used describing them. He's still on the hunt for another tube tho.

No worries.. Really thinking I should just motor swap, since I already know the bottom end needs help (rings on cyl 1).

 

[Rocket Man]

I discovered the voltage that the fob batteries quit working- 1.7, down from the 3.3 they start at. Seems like I replaced it not too long ago but now that I think about it, it might have been a used one. Back up and running with a new Energizer.

Sorry @Sam Harris , I was thinking of something totally different lol. I thought you meant those coolant passage tubes that @iamdub has been on the lookout for.

Programmed new Boost Auto fob. Should have kept the one I had for my Tahoe when I sold it. Glad PO installed a remote start that uses triple lock press on OEM remote to start. New fob works like Great.

I admit, I was thoroughly confused... But considering all that's on my mind right now, I figured I was just missing it.. Lol

Sorry buddy, I don't want to add to the confusion.

@Sam Harris I couldn't find oem for the harness, so I just sent it with whatever decent reviewed one I could find. Oem sensors, tho.

Are you able to order stuff from RA now? My next door neighbor says he gets stuff shipped there; I wonder if their tax issue has changed? Before they wouldn't ship to certain cities/towns in Colorado. But you might be out in the county now, so maybe it works for you.

I believe so, but haven’t tried yet. I can’t really tell if it will work until submitting the order. So, geez I guess I’ll hafta find some more parts to order..

Likewise. I need to order the parking brake cables since mine won't adjust anymore, and the new style intermediate cables don't work with OE.

Do you know what remote start module the PO used for the remote start?

 

[ivin74]

Started hearing wind noise recently so changed out all the door seals with oem parts.

Old vs new

 

[Jimmyy]

Nice. How much of a investment was that if you don't mind me asking.

 

[mwilson62000]

It’s a Valet 561. About a month after I owned it, took the kick plate off under the steering column to do something and noticed the small black box mounted under there. i Thought it was maybe an old alarm system. Remembered seeing a video about 3 click OEM fob remote start, so I tried it and sure enough, truck fired right up!

 

[MADPINTO08]

I was curious what it would look like if I wrapped my roof and I think it was a good choice

 

[tRidiot]

That looks nice. How hard is it to do a wrap? I'd have to remove my roof rack, but as bad as my paint is getting, I might consider wrapping my roof and my hood, say in carbon fiber or something, since mine's black already.

For today, I just swapped out all three wiper arms, that was a quick thing. Since the pass one stripped out and the rear one was all chewed up and showing white crap where the coating had flaked off, I decided to do all three and not have to worry about it again.
