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

[dkknaebel]

How's your son's LS swapped C10 doing?

He blew it up....again. currently at the shop getting worked on. Thankfully it isn't in my driveway anymore

 

[dkknaebel]

Got my new head unit in and an upgraded amp for the sub. And I have Bluetooth everything. I love it. And my old remote from my previous head unit works on this one. Unbelievable

Sold my 2000 Z71 6 years ago. Been gmt400-less for that long. Picked this super clean 99 Yukon up Friday. Added BFGs, replaced a faulty brake light switch and added some led high beams today.

Removed rear bumper blasted and powder coated black looks great.Pulled off trailer hitch was going to have it blasted and coated but a lot off rot inside so ordered a new one, hitches are like boat trailers rot from the inside out. Then stuck my hand into this bag of potato chips.looked very minimal before I touched it Inside looks new so now I’m committed to do rear fender flare removal. A decent amount of interior removal to access flare studs.

I was in the exact same boat with my 97 GT in the summer. I ordered every replacement patch panel available from LMC and Mills Supply. The hood and front fenders have to be removed to get the front flares off. It is a PITA, but I hope you can keep her on the road! Post up your progress.

I can prep everything, just don’t have the skills to do finish body work. No shops here want this work. They want quick insurance claims. I have seen your work looks great. I will order parts after assessing damage. Mock it up tack weld and most important find someone to finish. I believe you only painted what was needed.that’s what I would do

Yes. I just painted from lower body line down. You can’t see the tape line unless you are really looking. Post up your progress. I would like to see how it turns out.

My Rear Defrost at my Barn Doors was not operating. I took red Scotch Brite and isopropyl alchohol to the contacts. After they were polished, I put electrical contact corrosion inhibitor on them. The defrost is working now, but I can’t get the rear door lock/unlock button to activate the rear doors. If I press the rear button, it will actuate the front doors. If I press the buttons at the front doors, they

will lock and unlock the barn doors. If I use my key at the barn doors, the cylinder is very hard to turn manually, I tried to purge the lock with lubricant. I will leave it, and come back to it. I don’t want to snap my key off in it.

Did you use powdered graphite for the lock cylinder?

I used LPS 1 greaseless lubricant.

I think @Tonyrodz the one who asked about the kid's LS swapped C10. It lives again!

Hell yeah! Yup, that was me--thx for remembering @dkknaebel.

Not today, but Saturday. New power steering lines, new master cylinder and a new air filter. May do a new exhaust system this week and remove an ancient alarm system. Possibly do my dash lights.

 

[Swagfu]

So here it is Thursday and nobody has posted since me, so I will post again. Today I had my ancient alarm system removed and also fixed my broken exhaust with new mufflers and tips.

Love the blue. Which mufflers did you go with? How's it sound?

Here are the mufflers I went with. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aph-vx2541 As far as sound goes... I haven't really had a chance to get it out too much yet, but the first thought was they are pretty quiet until you start to apply the gas pedal and then it has a nice deep tone to it. And I got two mufflers for more of a true dual setup. I opted for these mufflers after talking to the guy and explaining what I wanted. I went in and was thinking Flowmaster 40's but that probably would've been louder than what I was looking for. I am going to try to go out tomorrow for a little drive and see how it does at highway speeds. With the broken muffler I could barely hear the radio going down the road. And here in Florida I have to be hands free to talk and it was nearly impossible. I am going to be putting in a new stereo at some point, so hopefully I will be able to hear everything again. Here is a sound clip on a Sierra. Sounds about right.

Once the packing in the mufflers get burned in, they'll get a little louder. Sounds really good.

Got a picture of the muffler locations and downstream routing?

I fit a true-dual in my truck but am scratching my head on how to accomplish it on my two door.

 

[Swagfu]

Sorry, I didn't grab a picture. I have a 4 door. From my understanding you aren't able to do it on the 2 door.
