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

[Tonyrodz]

I finally got my old 4L60E out from under the truck. New one starts going in tomorrow. I usually pull the transmission and transfer case out as a unit. This time I just slid the transfer case back and lowered the transmission. It is alot less weight to work with.

Post up some pics of the 2 dr when you get a chance. We love pics around here!

Sure, I'm doing a whole list of things, and would be happy to elaborate if nobody objects. Plenty of pics later today!

You can do that too. Why not start a build thread?

Took it to the lake yesterday. -27 degrees Celcius, which is about -17 Fahrenheit.


Very happy the block heater works. And the heated seats.

Rear air vents are blowing cold though, despite there being heat from the front vents.

Luna doesn't seem to mind though.

Power Steering Fluid Drain and Fill

While chasing down a small drip on the driveway, it seemed like the front seal on the steering gearbox connecting the pittman arm was leaking. It is probably due for a new seal kit but that is for another day.

Here was my process:

1. I used a fluid exchange hand pump to suck the old, dirty fluid out of the steering pump reservoir,
   
2. filled it back to the top with new Lubeguard Synthetic Power Steering Fluid
3. started the engine and turned the steering wheel lock to lock a few times to circulate the old and new fluid
   
4. shut the motor off
5. sucked the fluid out of the reservoir again
6. repeat process three times
7. Added some Lucas Stop Leak
8. Topped off fluid level

Assuming that 60% of the fluid is in the reservoir, this should get about 97% of the old fluid out of the system. This is a safe method without the risk of running the pump dry or needing to crack the return line. Plan on burning through about 3 quarts with a bit left over for good measure.

Clean fluid, no leaks or drips and nice smooth, quiet power steering system.

Hey
Going to do just that to mine soon,is very dirty looking. Watched a couple of YT clips and came to the conclusion that there is no drain on the power steer rack. Pity,would be a nice feeling knowing you are getting a nic clean change straight off ay. Still will be good to freshen it up!
Cheers

Hi
Today I decided to pull some of the rear interior put of the Yukon so I could pull the blown rear speakers out and are replacing them with a pair of FOCAL 6" Kevlar mid range speakers coupled with an old old pair of Kenwood tweeters and FOCAL crossovers.These I will hook up to a Fusion Encounter 1800watt 4 channel amp currently living under the centre front seat. The other 2 channels I've bridged to produce 900 watts into a 10" Fusion sub in the back. This should help fill the massive rear cavity. That will give the Beast the factory components in the front doors,factory door speakers 10 " sub and rear components. I usually run a 15" 750 watt Fusion but am enjoying the punch of the 10 at the moment. Rock'n [emoji869]
