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

[TARDIS]

First RoadTrip after “restoring” the BarnFind Yukon

Testing out the new KYB shocks and 285s




Drove 450 miles. Got an average of 15mpg and a smooth ride down the highways. Even BeachDriving was cake!

Tying the string alignment and did a measurement of the rear end and it's 1/4 off on one side I looked over the leafsprings, bushings and nothing moving or worn out.i have replaced the the rear end yrs ago the pins lined up fine with hole on the leafspring plate so can I adjust that 1/4 off set.

Did a bunch of checks on my rig today, leaving Friday for a two week excursion through Colorado, checked, cleaned, and regapped plugs, inspected front and rear suspension, put my center caps in, checked torques, found a space out of the way for my full size floor jack. Did find that I need a new pitman arm so I’ll get one and put it in this week....cannot wait to get the hell out of Texas.

First RoadTrip after “RestoMod” for my BarnFind.

This is Carova Beach, NC, on the OBX.

The KYB shocks and the Radar Renegade AT5s made a super smooth and quiet ride.

This is the first chance to really experience the truck after fixing it up.

Just a few months ago finally bought the other two new wheels after several years of putting it off and bought my first set of 4 new dueler revo 2 tires. Was going to install wiring upgrade next but now I am jobless, homeless, sick and stranded in missoula montana wishing I could get home to California. Wire upgrade will have to wait a little longer.

 

[SunlitComet]

And found an internally broken shock in the process. At that a kick in gut.

Forgot to post a pic. Please note the wheel maker recommended double accorn wheel nuts. They failed to mention the wheel caps would not go on afterwards and I already bought them so I will just paint the exposed centers one day. Sorry I don't have a better pic.

I lived in Montana, Great Falls to be specific, and know full well that you're just weeks away from the first snow storm of winter. Best get out soon.

Naturally, I'd suggest buying shocks in pairs, cheap will be better than broken. Buy Bilsteins when you're flush again. I drove 5,000 miles on OEM Rancho shocks on my SuperDuty before trashing them and installing Bilsteins, now at 60,000+ miles they still feel new. Stiff, but solid. The Ranchos were like having no shocks at all.

I'd bet that there is a center cap that will fit, but don't know which one.

My latest upgrade was to finally get the license plate for the Yukon and installing it. It's a "Farm Truck" now.

oh i m outta here very soon and back to cali soon. i need to find replacements similar to my edelbrocks tech. monroe has them. the road that broke it is no longer traveled and has been re-patched again. cps will not it unless i get shorter nuts. nut set and locks are staying so caps will stay off.

In the past few days I've changed the oil, changed the u-joints on the front drive shaft, installed mudflaps (to keep Johnny law happy) new wipers all around, and installed a cb radio in prep for rock crawling in Moab this weekend.

BMW recommends bleeding the entire brake system every two years which would prevent problems like seized bleeder screws and bad wheel cylinders/stuck caliper pistons for the most part.

While I doubt most of us will do that task quite that often, I wouldn't go beyond five years between system bleeds. There is just no way to keep moisture out of the brake fluid which rusts lots of components.

I agree, I normally do the DOT3 in all of my trucks every 24 months as you mentioned.

I had only held off on doing the DOT3 in the Yukon because I knew I was going to change the master cylinder.

Fresh oil change for the upcoming fall season

I finally got around to doing the AC system last week: new Delphi compressor, AC Delco- condenser/dryer/orifice tube, Four Seasons lines.

Still waiting on a High Side pressure switch...... flippin Amazon Prime, said it was delivered 2 days ago and I was told to wait another 36 hours. I was actually in the driveway on a conference call when they claim it was "delivered"
