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

[Rocket Man]

Practicing my tube bending skills.

Nice work! Coming along nicely!

Transmission fluid and filter. Didn’t realize I needed to unbolt the exhaust to do it. That turned into an adventure when one of the nuts seized onto the stud and then stripped half way off. I tried to take the stud out but the hex on the end spun in the socket too. Had to unbolt the trans mount and jack it up a bit to get a straighter shot at the stud and use another nut to push it back up to good threads. It grabbed and tightened up. I did manage to get the pan off and cleaned out and a new filter installed before getting the exhaust all back together. All tight and no leaks so it can stay like that till next time. I figure I will need to try to get that stud out next time but hopefully the nut will seize to it and I can heat that manifold ear up and spin it out.

How'd the compression test go? Still good?

Disregard--saw your other post.

Had my order cancelled by gmparts for my heated steering wheel. I had a bad feeling that would happen, it looks like heated steering wheels for the 07-14 are all totally discontinued.

Probably due to multiple issues but I bet that one of them is that all of the oem warranties have expired thus there is no necessity.

I need some easy peasy work...

it's pretty easy take off the wheel, 2 bolts, push the caliper back in, re-install. I used the severe duty metallic pads last time they lasted me 2yrs, went with the premium ceramic this time.

Brakes are on my medium list. That are better than the ones on my 800.

I cleaned my garage today to make room for my new Sierra Elevation...

Also, UPS came today and delivered my new Wilwood Brakes for the Denali. Pictures don't do justice, these 16" rotors are HUGE!!! Can't wait to install them, big things coming this spring including lighter weight 20" wheels and drag radials. I'll be well on my way to running that 10 second QTR sooner than later.

Excellent choice. I have them on my trucks. You will be extremely pleased.

Picked up, inspected, and put the engine braces that were picked up from the powder coater yesterday. Flight leaves for LA in a few hours. Time sure flies when i am home. Need to order some fasteners and plan to have those installed when I get back.

Overall a productive few days and time off.

The engine braces for the Duramax where done and packed up. I can install those when the Duramax arrives in LA in the next few days.

Back home for a few days. Headed back to Louisiana in a few days. Never enough time. I did get the engine braces on once I picked up some more polished 12 point bolts and washers.

Also picked up sight shield for some more smoothing and color matching ops.

wrong section?

Good. I vaguely remember that you had an engine problem of some sort, did it work itself out? I've been kicking my ball joints down the road too. Alignment shop said I needed them and the boots are cracked but not leaking. Probably do them after the Texas run.

Cylinder had low compression. Just riding it out until something happens. Taking it easy on it, gonna change spark plugs every year, whatever I can do to prolong the inevitable

You should check out "engine restorer" .

There is a YouTube channel called "Project Farm" and the guy does some really interesting testing of different lubricants and such.

He put the engine restore in an old tractor and compared the compression tests before and after... it made a noticeable difference.

He also did a follow up video like a year later and it was still good to go.

I am not a proponent of "Mechanics in a bottle" but I am also not opposed to fact based evidence.

Dammit man. That sucks. Stay strong.
