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

There's 2 different rubber "seals" on these. The inner one is the actual seal and this outer one is just a rubber mount surface to protect the paint.

Here's some good info on this with some pics

Roof Leak from Shark Fin (Digital Radio Antenna)

Hello, My Silverado truck has about 120k miles and my warranty has already expired. It was raining all day long. The day after, I saw water drips coming out from the roof (see the attached photo). I went to dealer to find out where does the leak come from. They did water test and told me the leak...

Interesting, I always thought it was a crack, not an intentional channel.

Now I'm worried that by silicone-ing the gap, if any water seeps in from the front or sides, that it won't be able to evaporate.. which could cause what harm??

Prepared(sanded) new rotors and got ready to install them with new pads because my rear brakes have been sqeaky.
Found the previous mech installed both inside pads on one side and both outside pads on the other.

View attachment 438712

The outside pads have a rivet, which interfered with the piston, denting it and when I pryed the caliper off, it tore off some part of the stainless? cap.

Ripped the stray metal off the piston and pushed the edges down.
Pads had 50%+ so I sanded the old rotors as well and reinstalled old pads in correct locations.
Couldn't see any taper on the old pads, for now they are quiet again.
Probably the raised edge on the rotor doing the squeaking is my guess..

Saving the new pads/rotors for the AXN axle swap instead..

THIS is why I do my own work.

Lol, so while digging into a different problem today, I decide to scan for Enhanced DTCs on my code reader and I come across a recurring P0573. Which is strange, because we've had zero issues with the brake lights, cruise control, etc.

The switch (the usual culprit) is cheap and it's like a 5 minute job, so i figure what the hell, I'll swap it out anyway just because.

Only one the parts store had in stock is the house brand (Standard Ignition) which had mixed reviews, but I was impatient so I went ahead and grabbed it anyway. I should have known better, but sometimes we all need to be reminded...

(Switch was bad right out of the gate, stuck with brake lights perpetually on lol.)

Slapped the old one back in and I guess I'll just wait a couple days for the ACDelco one. Lmao. (Like I said, we haven't actually had any apparent issues, so whatever.)

interesting no start find.... sort of why I always tell people to check every fuse, could have saved some troubleshooting time.

That dude has great videos!

Yup good dude there, I just posted one of his vids yesterday here about throttle body's for these trucks, very informative.

I subbed to South Main a long time ago.
That is one shop I would trust with any of my vehicles.

Oil change and new parking brake shoes on the 2500. Driver side liner had separated from the metal, which explains the click-click-clicking I've been listening to for the last two weeks. Diff and transfer case fluids week after next - no time next week.
