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

[newbie78]

Damn I would have chucked that old system for the upgraded on.

You have a spare $350 to give me? Just like Geico says chances are your not made of money and I sure aint!

Alright...I do the same! And I try to jack it (or have it drain de-jacked) so the drain hole is angled so it's at the lowest point of pan. I always drain the oil hot so it's thinner and drains quicker. Also mixes up and re-suspends into the oil any sediment that might otherwise settle and sit on the bottom of the oil pan. Gotta get that crappy oil outta there!

Yep I did the same thing. I drove it first after letting it idle for 5 mins came back and pulled the plug and went inside. I also jacked it up under the right side frame and more oil started to come out so i went back in and waited.

I don't know how people can go to those speedy oil change places. They probably have a couple shot glasses full of nasty oil left in the engine. That may not sound bad to most people but to me being meticulous that won't fly.

Recently replaced leaky water pump, and heater control valve, all by myself! Some of my first DIY automotive work. Proud of myself.

Then today did it in the back seat. Does that count? Gotta love the roomy backseat of a 2door

I call lies. Surely God would be able to do it in better places then the back seat of an OBS.

Picked up a green Z71 bumper, a set of new fog lights and the factory Z71 aluminum brush guard. In process of redoing the bumper pewter.

Mine is all chipped, blistered badly and rusted very badly.

Installed new pads. Painted the new calipers I just put on 2 months ago that already started rusting. I finally changed out the alternator for a NBS model that's been in the back of my truck for about 4 months.

I attempted to change the starter solenoid until I realized the solenoid has round head bolts on it, so I scrapped that idea. Might as well get a new starter. It's getting drenched from a pan gasket leak on the passenger side.

Took mine for a spin (not my daily driver; too special), thoroughly enjoying the smoothness of the motor, and the general driving experience.

I've been chewing on the idea of getting replacement tires. The ones on it now are old and causing an out-of-balance shake on the freeway (I'm assuming, being that I recently had the tires balanced and it didn't help). It has 265 70R 16 Firestone Destination LE tires. I like the look okay, but in looking at tirerack.com, they don't have the size, but they do with the Destination LE2 series. $132 and a very good rating (8.8 out of 10).

I've also been chewing on the concept of...that's right...lowering the front end another solid inch. I think the stance of the already lowered look of the Limited would be further excellentized (my word) with a bit of a nose drop. The big question is...how would one do it (right)? I've not read any solid info on what's been done to the Limited to lower them the 2" from the regular Tahoes. IOW, did they use lowering spindles or lowering coil springs? Wait...no coil springs in the back. So I'm a bit miffed. But I wouldn't want to buy a lowering spindle that does what's already been done, thereby...not lowering it any more.

You can de crank keys on front to drop a bit more n back could have blocks on leafs to put axle in higher causing more low

I need to take mine to Autozone and have the codes read. The ABS light came on the other day but my Torque app didn't find any codes. If it's one of the ABS sensors on front, I'll likely replace both sides unless that isn't advised.

You need a special code reader for the abs module, most code readers won't read abs codes on these trucks. Best take it to a shop that has it.

cent frum a smaert fone

yep ^^

autozone just uses cheapo $50 code readers

put new hub cap emblems on the front when I was changing pads

 

[noJeepshere]

Decided to make it 4 wheel drive again, despite the fact that the pinion bearing in the front diff is shot, and a u-joint is seized on the front drive shaft. Now I can't drive it on the interstate for any length of time, but that's ok because I have a small car for that. I'm not going to worry though, next spring I will replace the IFS with a solid axle.

Purchased new MAF and MAP sensors. Header system likely will finally be installed in the morning.
