What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[the_tool_man]

I cleaned out my garage the other day and stumbled over the aftermarket headlights I'd used on the Yukon a while back, until one developed a bad ground. On a whim I decided to open up the one that failed, just for practice and to see what failed. I wasn't too surprised to see this...

Something to think about with the Chiwanese lights. They use an internal harness that is just flopping around loosely inside the housing. It's certainly a failure point. I could fix this. But the lights are still crap to drive with at night.

Got my floor mats dyed black this morning. Gonna be so much better than the ill fitting rubber ones in it now.
After they dried, I brushed the heck out of them. The carpet feels pretty close to the original carpet and not stiff at all.

They look great! What product did you use?

Morimoto MH1 Bi-Xenon Retrofit in Tahoe - Build Thread - FINISHED

OK...so since I was being a turd in the General thread about tahoes, Im making a in progress build thread of my HID retrofit. Little backstory...had Sierra with OEM Denali headlights, retrofited those with MH15.0 projectors and loved it. Drove behind that for the better part of 10 years. Got...

It’s already been three months since your last oil change and brake pad/rotor replacement? Time just seems to fly by doesn’t it. Haha!

lol, I do go thru brake pads fairly quickly, according to my account history the rears lasted me 3 1/2 years but I don't believe that is correct I might have bought some other ones in between then from somewhere else. I know I had the ppv (semi-metallic) ones on there at some point.
I bought the rear baer erradispeed rotors in oct 21 and the pads from autozone in nov 21, but I am fairly certain that's not the 1st set of rear pads i used. but maybe....
the fronts only last me a little over a year.
I don't wait until the sensor starts hitting I just inspect them with tire rotations and if they look low they get changed out, these past pads were probably at around 20% or so

Well here is my failed lifter, passenger side. It’s not an AFM lifter though (aren’t those the ones w a spring on em?) which is interesting to me cus I assumed those were what always failed.

Only the cam left to remove now! (not sure what size bolt fits in there yet) + need a puller to get the crank sprocket off.

Seized up roller?

Seized up roller?

idk - it seems to spin freely like the others. Strange to me.

Background on the car - bought around 124k miles, currently at 167k, per GM service records I requested after we bought it had “lifter replacement” work done under warranty back at 45k miles. So that work lasted basically 120k miles. I’ve used 5W-30 Mobil1 all our ownership.

Replaced and relearned all the TPMS sensors by hand and sweat of the brow in this heat. Used my new screw drive bead breaker during the process. Like it a lot.

Also did the gauge cluster mod for full illumination whenever key is on, like that a lot as well,

Took her through the wash to clean up and make that sexy hinee shine.
