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

[Dantheman1540]

Link to can?? Excuse the ignorance but are these engines prone to oil consumption where I see a lot of talk about catch cans??

I don't think they are prone to oil consumption until they are high mileage like nearly any other motor would be. My short block is kinda a mystery since it was swapped in and I have no idea how many miles are on it.


Heres the link I think it's the best buy you can make for under $50 and honestly it's as nice as my $300 mighty mouse can I just don't think it would work well for boosted applications. You will need to make your own bracket for mounting and get a better hose as the stuff it comes with is utter shit.

There have been a few people that have posted about using them with good success. I think there someone that has a set for sale on here. Might not be the right set though

Thanks for looking out, but that's for the passenger side i'm needing the driverside.

Checked my $25 Amazon catch can after about 1,000 miles and I was happy with how much it caught but....... The out hose to the intake manifold still has oil which means some is still getting into the intake manifold.

Anybody have another option to plug in line to reduce the oil that gets by? I considered maybe putting some really fine steel wool in with the stuff that came in the can.

The paper towel shows how dirty the out line is.

Thanks!! What's the setup look like installed under the hood??? Im tempted to order and install one too. My rig has high miles for sure.

Hahaha that's one of my favorites someone gave to me last year.

This is what mine looks like, the bracket is a little crooked but oh well works for me.

The answer you seek is somewhere on this page already.

Did the same thing, the can is good quality for the price. Installed mine on 10/2/20, have yet to check it but I'll check it out tomorrow.

Had to replace the dreaded cooling hose tee's at the firewall. Found a steady coolant leak there. Recently found a bent right rear lower locating arm at the differential and just replaced all four arms. Recently had to replace the front bank 1 oxygen sensor that was dead and causing a rough idle in gear. I replaced the other 3 sensors yesterday. Replaced the non working third brake light assembly and the driver's side outside mirror assembly because the glass vibrated at highway speeds and could not see very well from the shaking glass.

Next up, all cooling system hoses and clamps. I will also be changing out the coolant reservoir and the reservoir cap. I believe the radiator hoses have been done but the rest look original and so I am replacing all of them. The next item after that will be the oil seepage at the front of the oil pan gasket and the oil pickup tube o-ring while the pan is down.
