    How long did your starter last?

    How’d you find the starter kit? No matter what I do on that site, it just gives me alternators lol

    2004 z71/Warning on Cerakote plastic trim coat

    I can’t even tell what the picture is, but this stuff is amazing for textured black plastic. I don’t think I’d try it on smooth plastic, I’ve read enough warnings it’s not for that

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Nope. I was just careful, you can wipe it off the paint if you don’t let it dry.

    Nivomat part number?

    Cool, update us on how the ride is after. Mine was much better, one shock appeared to leaking when I did it. Pretty easy.

    Help some Tahoe owners out. Good info!!

    The pitman arm wasn’t very hard, I just slightly loosened and moved the steering box. Easy. And Removing the tank to do it correctly is not hard either. I don’t have a lift either.

    Driver Door Light Switch

    Just for anyone else reading this, if you DO need new switches, it is pretty easy to just clean them

    Nivomat part number?

    Mines a 2005 Yukon 2WD Zw7 this is what I used. Not sure if you are saying they are or are not nivomat on your truck (mine were). Got these for $225 or so when Amazon had an AC delco sale ACDelco GM Original Equipment 580-354 Rear Shock Absorber Kit

    Idiots Are Everywhere!

    sorry that this has to be done, but there are “mechanics” out there that won’t change the oil filter, lie and say the replaced gaskets, all kinds of stuff. Piece of mind, and like I said, can weed out a liar pretty quick, even if he’s a good liar and a nice guy

    Yeah just put some paint on a few bolt different heads that he would have to take off. The socket or wrench would damage the paint, so if the paint is exactly as you left it, he didn’t do the job.

    maybe, but why not take 2 minutes and verify. Trust but verify lol! At least you’d know for sure it was done or you need a different guy

    2001 Burban, almost no oil pressure even after replacing the oil pump

    I change mine every 5k or 50% of the DIC, whichever happens first. I highly doubt JUST waiting till 7500 or even 10k using synthetic is causing that much sludge, almost has to be some other problem. When I did my pan, there was zero sludge. I also saw several GMT800 trucks that routinely only go...

    He sounds honest, but I’d stick some paint or something on a few bolts just in case. People around here will definitely just take your part and call you tomorrow saying it’s done without doing a damn thing.

    Polished up the bumpers. Not sure if it was just water spots or what, looks good now though.

    You might look at the lighting block that is by the right rear tire. Mine had one pin with green crusties that caused all kinds of weird things with my turn signal. Cleaned the pin and been good for 4 years or so

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    It’s the steel jacket that largely makes rubber brake hoses not flex very much.

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    “Rubber hoses”: inner liner is a corrosion and brake-fluid resistant compound designed (normally PTFE / Teflon® based) purely to keep the brake fluid in. Around the outside of that, there’s a steel webbed mesh. This is what gives the brake hose its strength and stops it from bulging and...

    2002 Tahoe Z71 5.3l - stainless steel brake hoses

    I’d still be willing to bet 75% of the difference is because they’re new- brand new hoses would feel better too. They aren’t rubber inside.

    General Maintenance ?

    Perhaps your parking downhill is allowing oil to submerge your oil pick up oring? I wouldnt do shocks until you remedy the oil pressure situation, but 170k, yeah they are ready for a new set- front shocks are pretty cheap and easy.

    Quick paint on my horribly weathered antenna. Probably shoulda done a little more prep and a better job.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Just a quick update. I applied the cerakote to my black trim March 13th. Still looks awesome. I can’t believe how long this stuff lasts, looks like I just did it still. Truck sits outside in Florida.
