Right now just the included controller for the flex-a-lite 280 fans. It is a single stage unit with a prewired sensor that affixes to the radiator fins.
What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Welcome to the club, they're irritating at times but otherwise great machines.

nothing but a bruised ego.
the real kicker is that i drove this truck with a cracked valance for like 6 years and last month i finally replaced it. 2 and a half weeks later this happened .... you cant make it up!

Nice, those are cool for the adjustable temps, I was thinking of getting one of these guys here but i'm not sure if the temp ranges would work for a 350 or 383 any thoughts?
it's a 3 pin sensor that closes ground on pin one at 190 and opens again at 209, then closes 2 at 209 up to 226. I'd also wire in a manual override that's connected to the ac pump so that when it's on the fan is on setting 2.

The open/close temps seem backward but that is about right. Sounds like it will work just fine. Mine is set now where it turns fans on when the ECT readout on my Scangauge2 (PCM not actually controlling fans just yet) sees about 210°F or more and when they shut off it reads about 193°F. It has an a/c trigger as well as bypass on/off (unused at the moment) functions. Some diagnostic lights on the module as well. Only tweaked it once after initial install to perfect the temps. I expect it to have no issues with a 383 later. My setup is quite effective and can handle more then it currently does now. Eventually the PCM will control them at multiple speeds and the current controller will be used on an auxiliary fan installed elsewhere at a later time.

Two weekends ago rebuilt the front end on the Yukon. Today replaced the heater blower motor. Tomorrow start chasing the blinker gremlin, have already changed the flasher relay.

Spooky. Now try doing that with the tripometer at the same time.

I tried but missed resetting it by less than a half mile.

Replaced the fuel pump, fuel pump relay, front rotors and pads (PowerStop K1970 severe duty kit), and water pump
Ok, so I bit the bullet and did the Hydroboost conversion (vacuum to hydraulic). WOW what a freaking difference it made! I did not have enough cabbage in the piggy bank to put on the power steering pump cooler but will do that in a month or so. It's okay, I think, since it is still winter and it does not really get driven that much. I also installed a stock 105 amp alternator as the other one sounded like two skeletons having sex on top of a tin roof!

I got an over-the-phone trade in value for a new Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep has a selling price of $42k. They offered me $560 for my Yukon which is a '99 with 179k. My tires are worth more than $560. I told them to pound sand.
