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

[The_Burban]

thanks... for the odd bumps, I found a pretty good method. Pull up on the side so the air has an escape. Then work side to side top to bottom with your fingernail to make sure it’s all covered with no bubbles

Hydrodip. was that not an option? Impressive end result, but that's a lot of work.

Wixey makes some neat digital angle finders that are pretty inexpensive. I use them in a lot of applications both at home and at work when setting up equipment.

Added the level version (WR365) to Amazon list. Thanks!

That might've worked. The bumps were easy compared to getting a nice line around the inside of the piece with the xacto blade

That wasn’t out when I bought WR300. Now I have it on my list as well. Thanks for helping me spend my money!

I became a little bit of a Jedi master with the X-Acto blade. Also dropped it into my leg about 1/2” at one point. That was fun.

yeah thats always fun, i removed a small portion of a finger tip with one in college. Good times!!

It's a very strange thing to look down and see a knife sticking out of your leg. I should've taken a picture, but that wasn't really on my mind...

Dropped off the 6k mile oil sample, from the Burb, at the PO. Will update with the Blackstone report once I receive it.

I normally run 13k - 15k mile OCIs. Blackstone wanted to run a sample at 6k to have something to compare too.

Ordered an Esky cluster off EBay for $85. Next mod for the Silverado.

The whole thing for 85? Is that normal?

Was doing some prep work under the truck today and noticed that after ten years, the truck has never had a wheel alignment; or at least caster and camber adjustments. The plastic inserts on the alignment cams that were installed at the factory are still there after all this time.

Did it all without pulling the motor?

Where did you get the wire sleeves from?

Yes, complete Esky cluster shipped for $85. They go for over twice that normally. This place only had one picture of theirs ( not the pic I posted) and it looked like it was messed up so I asked the seller if it was just the way the light hit it, explained it was for a custom truck and needed to be close to perfect, and they said it was the picture and it was in excellent shape. They wanted $110 so I offered $60 and we ended at $85. Here's their pic. I have it in writing that it's in excellent condition so EBay's money-back guarantee will protect me if it's not but it's from a 2012 so I believe them.

Score!!
