What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[SunlitComet]

how is your odometer exempt, mr. sandlin who lives on bradford dr. in slidell la?

Mine is exempt also.

 

[SunlitComet]

How so it is a six digit odometer.

IIRC the lady asked me how many miles were on the truck and I didn't know. Then she said, "Ok, I'll just make it exempt. Its an older vehicle anyway" or something to that effect.

I believe after 10 years, the odometer is always listed as "exempt" on the registration here in Louisiana. The mileage was on the title and the bill of sale as well, so it's not like the info wasn't there if it was needed. And that's my old address. I haven't updated it on any of my stuff just yet due to health insurance. I was still covered under my parents' insurance up until this year. lol.

In MI after the vehicle is 10 years old they consider the miles "exempt" and the odometer reading part on the title comes back blank.

In Washington and Alaska after the vehicle is 10 years old they don't care about the miles anymore. It may be the same in Louisiana too.

That means you may be able to turn back the odometer.

Mine only says 129,176, so no need, lol.

Also, probed the TPS plug, and I'm getting 5v into it. I'll probe the others this weekend to make sure they're getting voltage into them as well, but assuming they also have their voltage coming in, it appears as though I've got quite a few sensors to change out, and an EGR to troubleshoot.

phantom, check the grounds on the back of right cylinder head and check to make sure the ecm1 fuse is secure and terminals are clean as well.

Today I decided to take my Tahoe out and play with her, forgetting about my lid flip, definitely drown her. Though, I did find out that my throttle body butterflies seal extremely well. Pulled the air cleaner, soaked up the water, turned her over a little bit and she fired right up. Thankfully I was able to coast out of the massive mud puddle Haha.
Only real problem, my wiper motor wont turn off. Lets hope its just wet and grounding itself.

Finally installed LED interior lights...Wow what a difference. Simple easy upgrade.

yeah? how did you fair with the door switches and head light switch?

 

[96redsport]

Solved my problem of why my ABS and brake light was on.... Apparently you can't replace the indicator light with an LED light... Put the regular bulbs in and the lights went out... These are the only 2 that had any problems with the LEDs, not sure why...

I probably should have been more specific. I did LEDs in the Dome light and kickpanel lights.
Still working on the door swap, but the bulb is bigger than the opening so some minor trimming will have to happen.

 

[SunlitComet]

i think the rear door switches came out nice and bright. tho i think one failed already. the front switches and headlight switch leds were a disaster incandescent bulbs would do way better and now the mirror switch which is not externally changeable just burned out on me switch is less then 2 years old. i just did the doors and light switch in the last two weeks.

 

[Phantom240]

Discovered that the end of my ball joint has been ground off, like the wheel broke off at some point. Strange. That'll be next on my agenda.

 

[SunlitComet]

maybe another non fit properly wheel ground out the grease fitting. that what looks like is missing to me.

 

[Phantom240]

Here's the passenger's side, for reference.
