    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    I am 2-3 weeks out but you can likely get moved here by then. Stay away from Eugene, lovingly called Pewgene, and concentrate on outlying areas. We are looking daily for just the right fit and garage.

    2022 z71 tahoe oil leak!!!!!

    Welcome to the forum from Oregon. It is under warranty and therefore, DO NOT TOUCH IT. If they see you have, they can blame you and try to charge you. It says in the owner's manual, Take to Dealer with ANY warranty problems.

    There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

    Took my girl's K2500 dash apart and removed the old radio and tuner and equalizer. Installed new Retro Sound radio and hooked up existing speakers.

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    After rebuilding the entire steering/suspension on my GMT800, it drives and handles like a dream and the always more comfortable seats make it even better.

    Is it possible to keep truck too long?

    You can find lower mileage, well taken care of GMT800's-my preference and GMT900's at B.A.T. auctions. I knew I was keeping my 2005 Z71 and if you look at my build thread, you can see how I invested in Genuine GM parts and went thru 90% of the truck, except for the engine and transmission...

    Reuse injectors without changing o-rings?

    O-rings can break down over time and still LOOK good. Replace them, they are inexpensive. Changing them should not damage the injector. It is ok to lube them for reinstall with a very thin smear of silicone grease.

    Calling me Mr. makes me sound old. I am only 71 after all. Thankfully, down at the American Legion, there is lots of gray hair down there.
