I'd have to go that way just because I already have a red drill and driver and radio
and vacuum but it's dying.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I would prefer to, but seeing as how I'm struggling to pull the secondary O2, drilling the hole seems easier! (have fender liners out, easy to reach)
Saw this video..
Ordered the same looking gauge from amazon for $18.
vacuum gauge too which I don't have anymore since my mityvac died and I pitched it..
I know I'll likely have to pull the exhaust anyhow.. so I'm making more work.. just like everything I've done hoping it wasn't the cats!
baby steps..

I've pretty much switched to RIDGID cordless tools because of their lifetime battery replacement warranty. I don't have a shit ton of their tools, only like 6 or so, but they all take the same batteries. I have their Octane 1/2" impact which does about 95% of what I need. There was one time I did have to break out the air impact to get something loose that the cordless tool couldn't get.
Solid path of diagnosis.
yay! blackbear came thru, had to update EFI live to get everything working but no biggie, I guess they did a big update in the last couple weeks
no more p0420/p0430
I guess it remains to be seen if it will show as "ready" in IM monitors. I will find out soon enough I guess.

Good to know about Rigid with their lifetime batteries.
I have a handful of Porter Cable cordless tools, including 1/2 in impact since they all take the same batteries.

I had a couple Porter Cable cordless tools. I liked them and they worked well. When I started switching over to RIDGID I gave them to my dad and brother.

This is the one I have. It generates 600 ft/lbs. I do have an Ingersoll-Rand tool, but lost the compressor. @##&&$# divorce.
yep a few of use bought these a couple years ago, price is actually not crazy, mine has come in handy a few times, mostly for easy tire rotations, I take it with me on road trips in case of a flat. since then I found the matching drill and a couple extra batteries for cheap used.

I do the same. It came in super handy last year when I had so much tire trouble on my teardrop while in Wyoming.
Another spare tire trick is you can use a long ass 1/2" extension on the tire winch to lower or raise it instead of that factory Chinese steel crap. Stick the female end on the winch lug with the male end sticking out the bumper and a 9/16" 12 point socket top fit on a 1/2" lug wrench/ratchet. My Dewalt cordless ratchet works perfect for this. It won't fit through the factory guide tube though. Mine fell off and I tried that setup for the hell of it and stayed with it. Just need a flashlight to look in there while you guide the extension into place. Don't use the impact gun for this the winch won't like it. Just a manual lug wrench or ratchet or power ratchet. Impact wrench spins too fast and has too much torque.

Yup, I have the same one and also take it with me on road trips just in case. I throw it in the storage compartment at the back of drivers side cargo area.
That was actually the first RIDGID cordless tool I bought
Does Rigid have a 20v line or are they still using 18v for their battery packs?
My Porter Cable stuff is all 20v.

Everything I have is 18v and brushless

Except my yard tools, they're 80v brushless.
Convertible trimmer, leaf blower, and 18" chainsaw all 80v. I have an 8" tree trimmer attachment and hedge trimmer attachment for the trimmer also.

I've had a couple browser tabs open with some from a shop, and now when I was actually looking to buy them, not only are they out of stock, but it doesn't even say that they will manufacture them anymore, and some of the other ones it says they're out of stock but you can still order them.
red changed the game and took construction brand into the automotive world thru shear force of showing up the big names for half the price and will be the bench mark for a while.
that said they have been out paced by a few brands in target markets. but if you want to impact some big stuff, pull the battery and use the best tire inflator on the market, pump out some water and then weed wack your lawn. it's hard to beat red. later diy power your kids power wheels.
on a individual note, I believe snap on and Dewalt are fighting for top 1/2in drive impact in the tests right now. but not many auto mechanics are going to rock yellow in the shop. if you need a 1in impact in reverse, ingersoll I believe has that covered. 3/4 and 1in forward for building bridges and stuff in red.
the flex volt 60v Dewalt chainsaw usually beats anything but a top end gas and only then run time hurts it a bit. things a monster. they also have the only good heat gun.
team red 12v line is really good thou. not sure anyone tops it overall. their soldering iron is really good.
ryobi of all things has the only jump box that works with a line of drill batterys.
I like these these as super handy for the price they have 3/8 and 1/2. your exhaust should be 15mm

but your probably need something like this but my guess in a mid depth, short might not get on it and long gets in the way. I think these are short, but you get the idea

and these transmission extensions are super handy, but without a lift you don't want the standard 36in long one. this is 22in. but mainly they are 1/2in drive to 3/8 tip so you can user the thinner 3/8 sockets and swivels without torque robbing adapters.

I'm pretty sure 18v and 20v are the same number of cells. 18v is the nominal voltage while 20v is the fully charged voltage. Just some differences in marketing.

You're right, they can't be too short, the stud sticks out a little.. Thanks for the links!
I do have a regular 3/8" socket, but I don't wanna beat on those if possible. I'll probably get a 1/2" set..
I think everyone has convinced me I need an impact for removing wheels too! Would be nice to have one again..
Don't need to pre-loosen lugnuts before jacking up vehicle.. can undo spinny things without clamping them down.. I'm sold!
