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

[Tonyrodz]

Damn. I HATE sludge! No more issues after that?

None with the oil pressure.

I'm wondering about the crankshaft pulley though. Do I need some specialized tool to pull it and re-install it?

If you follow this video like I did, it’s easy. Be sure to get the p/n for the Chrysler (yes Chrysler) removal tool (it’s mentioned on-screen) and call your local parts store to make sure they have it in their loan-a-tool program. I found it at Oreilly. Then you just grind the head off your bolt like he shows so it goes through the hole in the puller. You can’t reuse the bolt anyway, it’s TTY. Also I highly recommend the ARP harmonic balancer bolt when you reinstall. It’s much easier and reusable. Save the old modified one just in case you need to pull the balancer in the future.

Today the Tahoe got filled up with 87 pretty close to E for the first time in a while, and sadly noticed that $80+ fill ups are here! Oh how I miss gas being $2.XX a gallon not to long ago. Pretty harsh @ 10 mpg winter 12 summer. With all these handouts this year maybe a free gas card for full time workers every week can be had haha. Give back to the employed!

Didn’t you negotiate for a raise like everybody else?

I had the same exact issue in my Express van. Put a HV Melling pump and O ring in it. Internally, the motor has so much sludge, it looks like the oil was never changed. I bought it with 110k on it. I'm religious with oil changes. I do them every 2500 miles. Oil pressure is fantastic now. Iirc cold pressure is around 60, and hot is around 50.

Did you get it tuned to turn the fans on? Or do you have it wired to a manual switch? I still need to do mine.

I finally got it off with an air hammer. Literally took 2 mins, after banging on it awhile with a mini sledge.View attachment 353352

I got the BBP tune a while back. They always enable the fans as part of any tune, so it was ready to go..!

I replaced my kyb steering damper since it had a lifetime warranty at AutoZone, they just gave me a new one. Used less beans on nuts this time.

I noticed my center link is loose on the idler arm shaft. This is the popping I have been hearing when I turn the wheel. I need to undo the cotter pin and tighten that nut down or put a washer on it to take up the slack. Anyone else come across this?? Idler arm and pitman are both new. I could have sworn I gave them the beans too with the impact gun.
