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

[Tonyrodz]

Valley cover gasket, knock sensors & harness, RTV mod, oil pressure sender if you haven't done it in the last couple months (lol), valve cover gaskets & paint job, plugs & wires....

Nailed it!! Lol

Already have it all in my Amazon cart lol. I'm not doing the oil sander I did it about 6 months ago.

My plans were to clean the throttle body, intake manifold, all ports, injectors and whatever grime I come across. Then replace the throttle body gasket, intake manifold gasket, valley cover gasket, and injector o-rings. Plugs and wires will have to wait, that's a other $100

Should I replace the cam sensor while I have the manifold off, even if I'm not throwing a code for it?

Also how important is the valley cover gasket?

installed new battery, had the regal tested shows 580 on cca and 12.25 volts, its on its way out. turns out to pro rate a battery you bought at advance auto on line and store pick up, you need to know the order #, so im off to dig through 3 years worth of advance auto emails lol.

ill be keeping this new on in the repair files for this truck now, wish i kept the last one from the regal.

Dont want to sound like a tool. But never use your cruise control in the rain or snow. Using cruise control in the snow, ice or even rain is dangerous because if your car hydroplanes or skids, it will accelerate and rapidly spin the wheels since it will be trying to maintain a constant speed. If this happens, it will be more likely that you lose control of your vehicle. The cruise control does not know that you lost traction. Just want to make sure you dont trash that awesome looking tahoe.

I was imagining this response as I typed that haha. Good lookin' out!

So I do have to replace my knock sensors. I got some stuff to clean the intake ports and fuel injectors. Aso some red rtv I think I'm going to do the valley cover since I'll be there anyways.

But side note. What kind of OBD2 scan tools are you guys using? I was looking at this bluedriver scan tool which is bluetooth and $99 but iirc scans airbag and abs codes

It is a very popular choice and seems to do quite well. It is a great option for someone who isn't wanting to go the tech2 / bidirectional route.
