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

    Replaced plugs and wires at 277k yesterday. And ordered the Fram ball-less PCV valve, can't believe I never changed it since I've owned it. Old plugs were Autolite double platinum n gap was 0.08...a little worn. Plugs were not easy to get out. Air ratchet came in handy. New plugs installed...
