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

[noJeepshere]

Thats my line...

Sorry...

 

[_Dylan_]

I was taking my running boards off today and its been a while since I've been under the Yukon and I found this shit. Not sure if its repairable or even worth fixing. I have a about 4-5k worth the new stuff in it over the last 2 years.

looks like an easy fix to me

Finally ordered a new Delco window reg/motor assembly.

 

['99_Tahoe LS 4WD - AZ]

Welcome to the Arizona summer and the money vacuum it creates with the 'Hoe! Was down 2 pounds of R-134A, needed new seals, evaporator and compressor (not too shabby considering all those parts were factory from 1998!). Replaced driver's side CV axle and boot, clean and adjusted the rear brakes (what a difference that made in eliminating the mushy brake pedal). Flushed the brake fluid (now that was some dark and scary looking shit). Installed Airaid 200-520 PowerAid Throttle Body Spacer and K&N 57-3013-2 Fuel Injection Performance Kit Gen2 Air Intake Kit - what a difference those have made. Gonna have to wait and see how it affects HP and fuel economy.

Your lucky! I just checked Tahoe prices in Utah and most run around $3200, usually with the same mileage as mine. Most cars up here that are fifteen years or older usually have rust because of all the salt on the road and nobody washes their cars. I might have to take a trip down south for my next car.

You should sometimes we get Northoners with rotted out cars and just laugh. Nobody touches northern cars unless your not too bright in the head. Dude I know picked a ram up we made fun of him he has rust bubbles, frozen bolts and its not worth close to what he paid

Haha that sounds like every car in Utah! You want something with no rust expect to pay out the ass for it up here. My friend has an 06 Durango that makes me laugh whenever I hop in it. The bottom of the door is rusted and there's a huge 5" rust bubble on the lift gate. According to him his Durango "kicks my Tahoe's ass" lol, he wishes.

I would get your money back on the spacer block.

 

[noJeepshere]

Ok Jonathan, when you tell someone to do something like that, that seems completely nonsensical, you have to explain WHY they should do this. You have access to and know more information about our favorite trucks, however, you're not god and your word is not gospel.

Replaced my coolant temp sensor hopefully I stop running so damn rich.

 

[SunlitComet]

you're not god and your word is not gospel.

You just refuse to believe.

At any rate the intended effect of the spacer really only works on tbi' where air AND fuel go thru it. The idea is to atomize the fuel better to get more power out of it by turbulence of the mixture.(HC particles in the exhaust would go down a bit to.). The vortec's plenum kills off the turbulent effect before fuel is sprayed in the runners so it is not really deemed effective.

 

[2drhoeon4s]

I replaced my fuel filter, topped off my coolant, washed it, and then looked at it for 2 hours.

Bought the fitting for y mc swap. Gonna do I tomorrow after I crush my eclipse

 

[EG@EnglandGreen]

Please dont crush the obs's...
But u the man... Sweet looking swap u got going there... Cant wait to see her wen shes running... Put sum videos up wen ur done... Dough nuts burnouts u know the usual...

Seriously. If it's rust free, ship it north to the rust belt, where parts from it will go for half the price of the whole truck in Texas.

Sorry guys. I paid $3600 for it, put more than $3000 into it (fixing all the usual stuff - fuel pump/sender, door locks, seat electronics, fuel spider, entire steering system, master cylinder, all the brakes, limo tint, new windshield, wheels/tires etc.).

I had it listed on Craigslist Houston for $3000 - no takers. I dropped the price to $2500 - nothing. Dropped to $2000 - nothing. There are hundreds of OBS Tahoes/Yukons in Houston, usually listed around $1500.

Decided to take all the good parts off the 4 door (engine, body panels, interior etc.) and rebuild the 2 door 4x4. Sold the rest of the parts and crushed the remains.

But I do have 2 x 2 door OBSs now that I will keep forever, if that helps.

$2000!!!!! I could of sold mine for almost $3000 up here and bought yours. Damn I could of had an extra grand in my pocket! I don't know why Tahoes are so cheap down there. In Utah expect upwards of three grand especially if it's got a third row(the mormons love those).

 

[MC153]

Got nbs rims with Goodyear Wranglers. Gonna see how they look tomorrow.

 

[Gzes]

They are cheap here aswell I can pick up a 4dr for 1200 mildy tricked out

Yes we do, however mine only has two rows.

Uh, for the left front for $87 at amazon for those who are wondering.

Sorry, I did not know that they command a better price up North; I used to live in CT but I was not into OBS Tahoes back then.

Next time, I'll put it up for sale on this forum, especially in light of all the things that I fixed because you guys already know that these are the normal problem areas with the OBSs.
