Tbh I am ignorant to what is stock GMC on it and what has been changed ie: the Tahoe grill.
Bumper may have been changed.

Is a well travelled unit.
Definitely" BORN IN THE U.S.A
Been to Japan, now living in New Zealand
Who knows where else it's been!?

I found a rear bumper at a wrecker the other day off a 94 Sierra. Perfect match to mine so are they generic?
He wanted 500 bucks for it! So he can keep it! Much better condition than mine but Wth?!!
Rare Spares....A greedy little man with shit that I want lol [emoji849][emoji110][emoji869]

Couldn't wait to put dash back together before firing it up,much better sound on this hu.
Have hooked another rca cable to the back so I can add another amp to run some more speakers while it's in bits

Found a wee cubby hole in a box that I had been hoarding. Good spot for the auxiliary USB & aux in cabling.

And we have a winner!! [emoji106] [emoji849]It is the valley gasket. Water pump is allgood
Went out for a drive in the country. Yukon went very well.

@80 mph it was pulling 30psi on the oil pressure gauge and water temp sat comfortably in the middle just under the thick bar between 100 & 210. So what's that 150-155°f?

Got home and let it cool for a few hours and checked the manifold and wee pool back again in the v beneath the thermostat housing and on a sheet of cardboard I sat under the front of the engine.

You tube got a hiding and was about what I thought I'd have to do.
Called my mechanic and he quoted me $250-300 to do the job in 3 hours so I reckon he can do it. Would take me all day and I'd be wrenching the whole job.

Not scared to do it but would be good to get a professional opinion on the condition of the motor as he is into his American V8s
Will find a gasket and book it in.[emoji106]

Glad you found the culprit!

Oh Shit!!!
Look what just turned up!
Won an auction for this months ago and the guy selling it never got back to me about shipping so I just moved on and repaired n painted the Tahoe grill.

This needs a couple of repairs,a good clean and then a color change to my ever favourite color. You guessed it! Black
