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

The bushings that came with my Hellwig swaybars squeak. Sound like shit. Wish they had zerks.

Tonight I got the AC charged and replaced a squeaky pulley on the accessory drive belt tensioner.

All new rear brakes. Calipers, rotors and pads. Going to have the emergency brake assembly done next week and front pads. Doing a big refurbish on her.

Oh and new wiper blades as well. Seriously considering getting some Energy Suspension parts to freshen up the suspension.

Mine hits 326k and I had the cluster rebuilt shortly after dumping nearly $3k in chassis last year. With the latest engine project, I don't feel one bit bad when my cluster came back with 100k miles. I enjoy this truck too much to let it go. Im on the "budget long gone" phase and will just continue to fix and modify it.

Maintenance and repairs add up quickly, even on basic maintenance these days.

That is great! Yeah I am with you. I am keeping my truck forever. It is like a labor of love. Plus I get a kick out of fixing it up. I will be doing some body work next year. I want all the mechanics done first.

I have a piggy bank going labeled "trans fund" as the current 4l65e needs attention to match the engine rebuild.

Is it possible for my headers to have damaged the aluminum heater tubes??? Seems like I have a minor coolant leak coming from there. I just checked the Ts up top and it's dry in that area but if I move the aluminum tubes I can see coolant dripping

WELL I just confirmed the headers did in fact melt the aluminum heater tubes to the point where they have a curved spot conforming to the header tube. It's now developed a pin hole leak causing a coolant leak at one of the spot touching the manifolds. I'm torn between hitting it with some JB cold weld or buying this super muggy alloy1 repair kit to fix the pin hole. Secondly I will have to move the lines away from the headers to keep them from contacting. Any thoughts or suggestions??? I should have known better than to let them keep resting on the manifolds. I'm trying to keep from buying/replacing the entire heater tube assembly. Maybe even a section of rubber heater hose....

R&R'd the Auto HVAC control. Cleaned the two temp controls and checked the bulbs (3 or 4 out). Ordered a new set of bulbs for a future fix.
