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

The oil pump is harder plus you pretty much have to pull the pan to do it. You need to remove the balancer, front cover and timing chain. I mean, there’s supposedly a cheat where you loosen the front of the pan and let it hang down a bit and then stuff a rag in so you can’t drop the bolt into it but I have heard getting the pickup tube bolts in is almost impossible. I wouldn’t try replacing the pump with the pan on myself.

The guy in that video modified the pickup tube so he could put the bolt back in the other hole. I'm probably just gonna pull the whole thing out and see how bad it is. It's probably f#@$&d anyway, might as well get it out of there

That sucks laying them al off. We have about 15-20 of those car washes just like that down here. Big business for sure.

I may be wrong, but when a business changes ownership, they 'must' lay off current employees to then rehire into new company contract.

When the bussiness model changes from requiring 100 employees to needing just a handful theres not much of the "rehiring to a new company contract" going on.

But, good news I have a wax scheduled for tomorrow! No not a brazilian

Those Dorman 2-piece shields are a great idea, don’t have to pull the axles. Just make sure you have a good pair of snips to remove the old ones.

 

[TEXCHEVY]

yes, easier to replace and thanks for the advice I will prepare all the equipment

One of the few Dorman parts I actually used. They actually work real good. Not quite as thick as OEM but still pretty good, and easy to install.

Got a bit of Christmas money that I'm dumping back into the old girl. I ordered a weld together steel bumper kit for a Jeep XJ ($140) that I'll be adapting to the Tahoe, and I bought a few sticks of steel to start building a roof rack. Also going to build a swing out tire carrier and the wife and I are going to start saving towards a roof top tent so we can go camping more this summer.

Y u no haz build thread?!
