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

[Sam Harris]

Today, I finally cleaned up the interior -somewhat, vacuumed at least.. and washed and half a detail.. really need to get a good coat of wax on her before the snow hits…

Oh, and another post efan conversion update….

So since installing the ARH longtubes, it’s been clear the proximity to my trans lines raise the temp of the trans quickly.. I’ve been fine, after wrapping the lines with some heat shield, and of course, installing the Trucool 40k… but an interesting change, since installing the efans… the trans temp is higher whenever I’m idling, since there’s no air moving through, and the efans only come on as needed, much more efficiently than the clutch fan… so when idling, the trans temp is much higher than it was with the old clutch fan.. so today, while sitting at the car wash waiting in line I observed this.. nothing crazy or anything, but with the clutch fan, it would typically barely move off the lowest bar, around 120°… now, it’s sitting at about 160-180°… so what would help that.. I cranked on the A/C, to kick the fan speed up, and watched that lower my trans temp, which used to make it go higher! Lol.

ETA: yes, I go to the automatic car wash… it’s a touch less one.. I use that to get the grime washed off, then bring her home and do another round with my Chemical Guys Hybrid V7 “Optical Select High Gloss Sealant” (love this stuff..!)

Dude, time to apply that "22" sticker on your plate! LOL

Not like you'd get a ticket around here anyway even if the one on it was a "20." Still seeing lots of those.

Two days ago, I finally did the Cabin Air Filter retrofit kit from Dorman. I had purchased it a long while back, but hadn’t gotten to it yet. I also bought a “hot knife”, thinking this would make the job a lot easier, and cleaner… that knife lasted all of about 5 minutes… the “chrome” part that holds the blade is actually brass, with a chrome plate on it.. POS started flexing, so I tightened it, and took my time… but even doing that, the damn thing broke right away. I even tried to drill it out, as it comes with a spare, but when I went to remove the broken threads, the whole assembly broke, and dropped into the iron sleeve. Lesson learned.. if you want a hot knife, you’ll have to spend the $100+ to get a real one… so moved to the dremel plastic blade, and the good ol’ utility knife. I’ve gotta say, for as simple as this little project should be, it was a royal PITA in my opinion. Glad it’s done, but not anything near as clean as I was aiming for. And yes, I did get the one screw that’s impossible to get out / back in, in place where it belongs..

Is this for trucks that did not come with a cabin air filter? By the one impossible screw you talk about is that the back of blower motor cover I am guessing?

I took the Yukon pig hunting this weekend. Here's a picture I snapped with my FLIR Breach thermal monocular while the truck was parked in front of the cabin. The rough roads tossed me around but it did just fine! I stopped by the power wash to get a little mud and dirt off and then gave it a hand wash when I got home. It's back to looking shiny and new(ish) again!

I used a utility knife when I did thecopcar. what a pita. When I did the mod on theothertwin, I used a new hardback razor blade heated with a mini torch. That worked like a champ.

I used a dremel with a small drill bit, use it like the knife. For precision cuts dont apply too much pressure let the bit do the work.
