    Check off another item on the list. The day was nice, the garage was open and the new bump stops came in. Next up is the transmission filter and the water pump (after a nice flush). BTW, does anyone have the OEM part number for a water pump for an 02 5.3 gas.

    Note to self..... when cleaning the throttle body DON'T drop the nut that bolts it on...... you know that one thats hidden under the throttle body and blocked by the alternator. But if you do, it's a #12-24 coarse thread. GM dosen't carry it anymore, none of the chain auto stores have it and...

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

    Its an '02 GMC Yukon SLT with the 5.3 gaser. I think some of the difference in gap is partly due to the tip wearing/burning off. Hard to tell in the pic but in person the tips really show it. I used the AC Delco OEM 41-962 plugs and the wires are AC Delco OEM 9748HH. I had a devil of...

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

    In the continuing process of the 100k/ new to me total service I did the plugs and wires. With a 118k on her I was surprised how soft the wires rubber were and tore just about every one of them getting them off. They were stuck beyond stuck and have to work like a dog with hose pliers just to...
