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

[Doubeleive]

The oil cooler plate thingy arrived today. I’ll be ordering AN fittings and a heat exchanger soon and will have cooled oil! Yay!

does your radiator have the ports for it or are you going to use a external cooler?

I’m going to use a 10 row mishimoto external one or maybe the 19 row one. Not sure yet.

Replaced both sway bar end links, even though only the drivers side was broke. The passenger side was quite rusty underneath that plastic sleeve of the damn piss poor design of the OE ones.

Installed some Moog ones, and sprayed some fluid film on the main bolt before sliding the sleeve/spacer on for good measure.

I’ll be doing this shortly. Chasing a suspension squeak that’s driving me nuts. I got the Moog “problem solver” parts.

They went on easily, especially with the barrel style top nut.

I didn't remove the wheels, just pulled onto ramps and used a creeper, just like when I change the oil.

Remove both sides before installing, it allows the swaybar to rotate upwards so you can fit the endlinks between it and the control arm. Only tighten the first side slightly so you still have enough play to install the other side, then you can torque each side down to 17 lbs ft.

It seems to take forever to get them torqued because the bushings squish down so much.... Lol

@Doubeleive can the tech2 read oil temp?

 

[Doubeleive]

@Doubeleive can the tech2 read oil temp?

yes, and normally it should be around 180deg (I think)

Next major purchase for the truck is probably a tech 2 clone. After that start saving up for a lift kit

 

[R3cord303]

I wonder if HPTuners can read it too then... hmmmmmmm

I know the dash will display trans oil temp. I really wish oil temp was an option. :/

If I remember right, the oil temperature is calculated and not actual. On a hot day mine has been over 200 degrees and it has the factory cooler too!
