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

Nice work, these trucks are beasts to detail.
Sounds crazy but it’s good to throw wax/polish on the trim around the windows instead of taping off. Gives them a semi gloss look and prevents cracking and fading. Obviously the rubber can still be taped off.

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely keep that in mind. My previous experience with the Meguires ultimate compound is what made me tape them up. I used the ultimate compound and polish then finished with black wax. Has anyone used the ceramic stuff yet?

Changed out the rear doors and took the molding and emblems off will probably buff it today

Playing with some plasti dip type stuff. Not sure about the product but I do like the color combo.

Well, this is what I found:
passenger side cover and head -

Much better than I was expecting. And I do have the 862 casting.
Is that emblem (2nd image) the Castech symbol? I can't see the symbol on the head.

And the driver's side -

Compared to the passenger side head, this looks to have more build-up.
Should the passenger side be oil-stained?

Now either I caught this soon after the problem started or something else is going on. The oil didn't look too bad in the drain pan -

At least it didn't have any chunk or globs in it.

I think I will just give the covers a good cleaning, finish the oil change and drive it for a few miles and recheck.

I agree with your proposed plan of action. That doesn't look quite like coolant in the oil. Maybe a little extra water from condensation given the amount of sitting time?
