You need to ***** that thing up and buy some load E 28” ATs on some methods.

I was gonna ask how the Yukon did burnout wise being AWD and on fat meats. It’s cool your making the kid learn that stuff early too, I have very few memories like that.

Where you think the leak is? Need me to booger some shit up for you?

yukon has a np261hd in it so 2wd at the moment, these nittos do not hook up at all. moist roads and this thing spins at 70mph trying to pass someone

Oh didn’t realize you went selectable! That’s a must to me, yeah ATs are awful when it comes to putting power down on pavement especially wet roads. They do fairly good at not hydroplaning tho.

i ran over something in the subaru yesterday, put a nice 1"ish gash in the tire and had to put the donut on. figured no big deal i have a perfectly working yukon i can drive. got in yukon this morning 6am, ac light blinked when i tried to turn it on and just made my blood boil. had kid connect laptop(was dropping him off at school) to see if anything fugged up....showed 4psi at the high pressure sensor. i ripped a uturn and layed out a 200' burnout on the redline, ****** pissed at that POS.

came back home and jumped in subaru with a donut to drop him off and drop off tire at my guy. turns out whatever i ran over was still in the tire clanking around :oops: . dismounted it real quick to see if i broke the tpms off(didnt). it was some old rusty piece of metal, looked like half a door hinge or something about that thickness 3/16" thick, about 4"x1.5". i called him yesterday and tried to see if he could get tires for today but no luck. i had him grab two so i can set up a full size spare.

now last night i had ****** with yukon for like hours letting it sit and idle and run and start and stop and everything was fine. so after i dropped kid off, ran back home just to try and throw ac gauges on and see if possibly new sensor was bad and i could swap it out real quick. but nope it was actually ******* empty....turned out to be the shrader valve in the service port
That was a ride… Sucky luck.

Got the Tahoe replacement all sauced up today with a nice new radiator setup, proper plug wire order, and a bath in the rain. Still just headers for exhaust and needs a good bit of love but it made the 3 mile loop around my hood, down a super basic trail, and didn’t blow up!

I’m in love, mini trucks are life.
