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

Rust? Oh. I thought he had his ivory dealer hook him up with manifolds of coral.

BTW, I fixed my crusty loom during your hiatus

Growing up doesn't have to suck

Ohhhh, he knows. Actually requested it:naughty: TCC lock up torque management change. You know the one:love62: As soon as you mentioned twerk management, I knew right where you got that "bug" in your rear. I mean, ear.

My Ivory dealer was backlogged so I had to go with the ‘hammered’ faux finish.

Today I tried dropping the transmission pan. I didn't get past the removal of the shift linkage bracket. I was able to get a torx 40 into the bolts nice and snug but couldn't get any room to turn the ratchet. I found a "how to" to disconnect the front drive shaft to get some more room. Is there anything I need to by disconnecting and reconnecting other then lining everything back up correctly?

I just grab some channel locks and use them to bend the entire mount to the side so the pan will drop. Done it 4 or 5 times now and works like a charm every time.

Fixed the brake light switch. This one does not have a spring, the contacts act like a spring, and it had become weak. Bent a little bit and checked that I had one N/O contact and two N/C contacts. Cleaned up with a dremel with a wire wheel (overkill, use sandpaper)

When I went to install it again, one of the wires were broken in the contact, tried to soder it, no luck so ordered a new one (ACDelco PT2362)

I think just about anyone that understands how a simple switch works always tries to "fix" these things yet there's always something that makes them end up replacing it. You gave it the ol' college try.

100%… I looked at mine, saw the corrosion, and thought: “ah heck, I can fix this for free!”… probably 90 minutes later, while all was cleaned up, properly aligned, and should have been back to “new”, I gave up, and ordered the replacement, while muttering old man phrases about quality, and how I needed to poop.

I been sitting on a new acd brake switch well over a year now!! Bough it a while back when I replaced my brake booster, just forgot to install it. Somewhere in my parts pile, next to the tie rods I grabbed a month ago

When you finally change it, you'll be like "Really? I sat on this for so long when I could've just been done with it in three minutes."

theres not enough time to do right the first time, but always plenty of time to fix it the second time or something like that

You'd be the authority on this!

Mine is not broken, I just bought one for the heck of it.
