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

Have you tried 1a Auto’s 2 wrench trick? You use a larger wrench’s box end to hook the open end of the other wrench so it’s like a cheater bar on a ratchet. Works pretty good.

I actually didn't know about that. Too late now and I'm completely fine with $100 for someone else to do it. I'll definitely keep this in mind though!

This comes in real handy, big time, time saver, doesn't have a lot of torque but once you break it loose this takes all the work out of it, bought it used at the flea market for like $15 put a new connector on it works like a champ

I changed the oil and installed the fumoto oil drain plug. Definitely gonna make oil changes a little easier.

I had to look up what a Fumoto drain plug was. Found a post from last August on this thread about it. Mine's already on order. Thanks!

What holds the plastic clip on? Just friction?

Yeah, I'd be surprised if it stayed on long. Wasn't as snug as I'd like it to be. But, highly doubt something would make the lever move enough to open it. I like the fact I can attach a small hose to it and drain it instead of just letting it pour out into a pan.

no idea what style you got, Phil, but from what I'm seeing the valve should have a clip so that the lever can't accidentally be flipped to the open position

Last week I was on vacation, visiting a tool store, and found a 1/2" drive x 36" long breaker bar with a socket for a 3/4" pipe made into the end. With a pipe socket I can make it as long as I want! I bought it immediately for occasions like this. Hammering on a wrench gets old quick. And and impact gun frequently won't fit in the space available.

Gotta post a pic of that puppy.

This exact one. F107n. The clip is a little loose. It will stay, but it's definitely not snug.

I bought the Femco, it has a different design. It can’t drain until you screw the fitting on that has a hose already attached pointing straight down from the engine. When you screw the hose on, it pushes the plunger in. It also has a brass cap that screws on to the part that’s in the pan, to keep dust out and just makes it look better when not draining oil.

Nice, I like it!

I did rear brakes and the driver side axle seal over the last couple days. Figured out a easy way to get the top caliper T55 slide bolt out without using cussing GM. Took the bottom bracket bolt out and swung the caliper up, which gave me clearance for a T55 socket. If you have ever done rear discs on a 14bolt you know how frustrating that top bolt is.

Buttoned up with drilled and slotted rotors to match the front.

Pulled the faded door trim off once that was done.

A before pic; they were more of a buttercream color than white...

It’s amazing what all you can get done while your wife is out of town [emoji2]

Not the Fomoto brand, but just like it. They use a 5/8 spring clip. A zip tie can also be used.

For users under extreme conditions: If you are using the Engine Oil Drain Valve on off-road vehicles such as farm tractors and logging equipment under extreme environment (i.e. corn fields, brush areas), it is recommended that a hose clip as shown below be used for extra safety and security..

Well, been meaning to do this for a while.. light had a small crack since I bought it, and since I'm lazy and love the carwash, the "forced" water found the crack. Got sick of looking at the condensation.

So anyway I love swapping the tails on these, two screws and some wiring.(screw you GM for the headlight design)
I do have to pull it again, apparently one of the bulbs that came with blew already(cheap chinese bulbs.)
I still haven't put LEDs in the reds back there, maybe I'll do that.

Anyone in NC have use for a RR taillight with a crack and wiring harness.
