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

[Kee Fuller]

@Rocket Man and @iamdub i just went outside to the garage and i see now what y’all are talking about. It does have a negative camber. I’m assuming since i put new wheels on it, i have to get the alignment done since i went down 2 inches.

 

[Ghost10]

Detailed inside an out only took an hour, and I do this every 3 days
Especially when you have black/black + kids = nasty (finger prints and smudges on doors outside and windows in and out
Crumbs on carpet “leaf’s, dirt”)
I’m just OCD about dirty vehicles

Edit I’m in the wrong area lol

Got the GoRhino push bar delivered today. Since I will not have time to install it until Sunday I went ahead and coated the inside of the bottom tube with Fluid Film. Will also be drilling drain holes before the install as well.

I've been to Oklahoma quite a few times over the years. Enough to start thinking they must build in the potholes to the paving.

In 2018, coming home from a long road trip, we cut across the OK panhandle. The highway had just been repaved. So recently, the stripes hadn't been painted yet. Yep, potholes everywhere.

Theory proven.

I think Colorado roads could take the title… jus sayin…

Sure…give them the credit. You’re welcome by the way. Ha!
Are you sure that you didn’t install the wheels/tires like that. I’m not saying you did, but I’ve seen more than once where someone’s kid was helping them and they end up installing one lug nut (usually the top or bottom one) all the way before putting any others on. Or where they used the “circle pattern” instead of using the star pattern that goes with the number of lug nuts on the vehicle.
My buddy didn’t notice it and after his wife hit a pot hole on her way home from work that tire rolled like a dodecahedron.

You shouldn’t need an alignment by stepping down wheel sizes. You are however, going to want to use a Tech2 so you can relearn the vehicle parameters for the new wheel size. Its worth doing because it makes a difference with the wheel speed sensors and your overall fuel economy.

E content sensor reset worked.
Had about 4gal of e8 or so, and put in 22gal of e85. Virtual Sensor settled on 72%.

I used a leaf blower inside thecopcar the other day. 5 minutes.

That’s where we crossed the state line from. Lol.

I roll all the windows down at highway speed. Multi tasking.

That was the pretreatment action.

As @alpha_omega said, changing wheel sizes doesn't alter the suspension geometry. It's the same as someone wearing platform shoes changing them for regular shoes- nothing changed with them, they just have less under them. Also, the wheel size doesn't matter. Your wheel size is two inches smaller, but you have more tire, so the overall size is about the same. It's obviously a little bit of a smaller overall diameter since the new ones rub less. They're actually the stock size, so the tires on the 24s must've been oversized. Your speedometer would've read slower with the 24s but should now be more accurate.

...All just little points.


But, now I'm wondering where the camber came from if all you did was swap wheels- no additional lowering, etc.

Be careful the wind doesn’t catch the flapping dash and blow it out the other side. Or is that your other truck?

LMAO! Yep, that's theohertwin.

Yeah don’t use a leaf blower on that one!

Back when my kids were younger I had a three step approach. first was let the dog in to cleanup the edible items. Thus included folding up seats. Grab all the large trash items and then the leaf blower to remove the remaining debris.

But where did you blow it to, the neighbor’s?

Yup, *** them!

No ****. Or doing stuff while drinking then having to redo the work later because drunk me was not as good as he thought.

I always worry about missing bolts, or forgetting to fully tighten something down.

drinking + cleaning or polishing usually goes well.

I found that organizing = bad.
I have a really good memory most of the time.
but if I'm putting things away and a 6 pack in, i can forget about finding anything unless i clearly marked everything, or if it's clearly visible.

Drove my self nuts for a bit there looking for my battery charger.
turns out not so sober me put it in the air compressor shed.


Right now i'm trying to figure out where not so sober me put my oil pressure gauge set, kuz i need to check transmission line pressures!



granted, i haven't used that thing for like 4 years... so it could be anywhere! lol

I ordered a nicer set, because I'm thinking it's in the storage unit.
The one where i got bit by a blackwidow...

Then there is the stuff sober me can't do.

Drunk me was a better welder than sober me.
