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

[Derick]

So recently, I kinda started to accept reality that my harbor freight power tools were just garbage at this point. I bought them some years ago, not long enough to keep me from being pissed mind you, and they changed their house brand from chicago electric to bauer. Soooo, when I needed new batteries, I quickly found that my tools were useless. And I even spent the cash on a nice half inch impact gun....but now it will be lining the garbage can.

All that to say, I leaned into the Ryobi One+ line pretty hard. Fingers crossed they keep up their battery production and reasonably decent quality for DIYers. I got their psuedo (low) pressure washer thing;

and did some detailing today. Last night I did a honda civic engine bay, and then today I did the engine bay on the burb. I pressure washed it late last year, so it wasn't all that dirty. It does a good job for its very specific purpose. And that is, engine bays. That high pressure blast from a real pressure washer gets water where it shouldnt be. This is also nice because I can just take a bucket of water and it will siphon instead of needing a hookup. Anyhow, got a nice clean engine bay to get dirty with the upcoming power steering line replacement.

Crawled in the engine bay to sit on the cross member and did some work.

well crap, pro-tip if you ever go to remove the ceiling console, remove the 2 screws under the map lens and then pull down from the rear, not from the front
and of course the one I ordered to replace the broken map light button is a different color

ya that's probably a cheaper option than paying $64 for another console

Washed the ole rust bucket and gave it a coat of spray wax...for whatever good it'll do. Paint is so rough.

Rough paint, been using the liquid clay bar stuff, cleans the paint nice enough to get the roughness out. Not perfect but works well.

Thanks

Yeah. Had that in our 2007 and 2008. Can’t remember if the 2009 Suburban LTZ had it or not. Never used them.

it was removed because children were getting folded into the floor... possibly do to liability issues(they got sued)

You have piqued my curiosity. Any links to information to support this?

Yeah I'll do clay bar on my good car.... But the rust is about to erupt so I'm likely not gonna bother.

Hmmm. I thought you said that someone sued them. Maybe I mis-read it when you said “(they got sued)”. Or are you just speculating because a seat tried to eat you like the chair that whooped up on Snoopy?

a lot of times they get hit with small claims that never hit the news i would not install the panel there is a reason why it was no longer offered just like key start is no longer a option

I see. I guess I never thought of them as a risk as my four kids and the many we kids carpooled with were able to navigate them without incident on our 2007 and 2008 that had a middle row bench seat starting when my kids were 8, 6, 4 and 2. As I all reality, they seem to stall out pretty quickly with any amount of resistance, just like the power tailgate.
