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

[89Suburban]

I’ve noticed that even though both inner and outer pads, look identical, on some pad sets, the rivets are in a different position such that they will interfere with the caliper piston if installed at the inboard position. This was true for the Powerstop pads I just installed on my ‘07.

True!!

Those were all YIELD signs, they look similar to Stop signs

The letters are a acronym for the rare red colored Yield sign - Slight Tap On Pedal

Yester... Oh, it's almost 1AM- Friday, I added 799 miles to the odometer. Drove to Wimauma, FL. No pics in FL, but I took one of my stop at the beach in Gulfport, MS:

Wimauma - unless you got family there, aint no reason to stop. Hell, its so small, if you were to blink, you missed it!

a california stop is real thing.....

So, that was fun. It wasn't the fronts at all. I was turning the car around in the driveway so I wouldn't be working in a mud puddle, and could feel a hard clunk when tapping the brakes at 2mph, and realized it was coming from the rear.

Pulled the passenger rear tire off and was greeted by this little guy poking out. Guess what it is?

The inside pad delaminated and cracked right half in two.

Inside layer of the steel was all rusted out, and I wonder how long it was separating for.

Luckily I had a complete rear brake kit waiting to go in, because the shop monkeys told me my rear brakes were in great shape during my vehicle safety inspection at the end of October, but I guess they didn't pull the wheels to look at the inside pads. The outside pads had a lot of life left, but the inside passenger was cracked, and the inside drivers was worn down to the steel - no friction material left. What did I pay for in that "safety" inspection.

I work from home and have probably put less than 500 miles on the car since Oct.

Anyways, it got dark during the 2nd brake rotor and pad swap, but it's muy bien now.

Ehhhhh, dang just saw this. Which side do the metal tangs go on? I side or outside?

Tang thing:

Edit; NM! The rears are all the same, with no tang. The front pads can only fit a certain way too. I are dum.

Sorry, I wasn't clear in the way I worded that. I was talking about these rivets:

My evap valve solenoid died and check engine light came one, replaced today and the old one clearly cracked inside and rotted out, woah!

Also got myself Launch crp123x as Christmas present and was poking around various modules and data to see what it can do and decided to take a look at o2 sensors.
I periodically have o2 sensor error once in 500-1500 miles and just reset it.
Well, looking at graphs, the sensor that keeps throwing error voltage constant goes between 0.01-0.7 like crazy, while other sensors are still mostly.

I wonder if the cause is exhaust leak somewhere and sensor keeps flipping or the sensor is just dieing

If it's an upstream sensor it SHOULD BE oscillating between 0.1 and 0.9 V if it's working. 100-900mV. If an upstream is static it's either weak, not getting heated up, or dead.

Oooh thank you!

I do! Kinda. Grandparents live in Sun City Center- a huge retirement community with its own ZIP code. It has multiple subdivisions within it. Also has a golf course or two. I'm at an Airbnb about 5 miles from them and 3 of those miles is on the main drag going through Sun City Center. I came here to spend as much time as possible with them over Christmas and that Airbnb was a SCORE! I don't know how long it's been since you were through here, but it has grown a lot lately. Everything I need is here. There's even a Wawa right outside the community where I'm staying.

Or something wrong with the engine. Very intermittently, after long drives like on road trips, I would get DTC P1153: Slow switching for Bank 2, Sensor 1. I swapped the left and right sensors around and, eventually, the same code popped up.

I don't remember what I've done since notating all that, but it hasn't happened any more. Anyway, my point to @m1dn is to swap the sensors around, clear the code and see if it returns. And/or see if the fault follows the swapped sensor.

Are the rear shocks bent? Those boots sure don't look right.

If you get homesick for some Cajun, drive up to Tibby's in Brandon.

I grew up in Tampa and lived in Brandon/Riverview area during my 20-30s. You are right, it has grown dramatically cuz I do remember when it was god's waiting room with old people galore. The villages took a page from Sun City and expanded upon it....Wimauma used to be a place where migrant farm workers stayed due to the out of the way farms but a lot has changed in the past couple decades....Savor the time with your family and safe travels home!!

LOL I didn't even notice that, good eye.

 

[Charlie207]

Nope. The boots on those 5100s didn't like to stay attached at the top so I found some linger ones that fit. They just sag a little.

Finally got around to adding an airtag in the 2500; working on some other measures to ensure it doesn't go anywhere but if it does at least this will let me find it.

Too bad OnStar didn't supply a 3G to LTE/5G module for the older cars, would have certainly upgraded.

It's up in the dome lights for anyone wondering; I wanted to ensure it was high enough that phones in the vicinity could contact it and also make it difficult for someone to find.

Hopefully you'll never need to use it.
