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

[mountie]

Waiting during today, to go out NYE, I was looking at the tree branch, where the surface is usually the first contact to some low overhead garage door......
So, I did some 'gardening'. Flat black spray paint did the trick.

I dusted, wiped & ' 303 ' protectant plastic..... ( Good to do, to discover any issues )..

I found one.... Cheapskates at GM uses cheap "Pep Boys" wire loom covering.
Most was crumbling apart like kellog's corn flakes. Time to get real stuff & re cover!

Well it IS 15 year old thin plastic. It doesn’t last forever.

I use a Tesa tape for re-doing wiring looms. It looks like modern OEMs do.

I found a very good version at Summit website, and it's also heat resistant. ( good price too ), and
nothing like the standard autoparts stuff....

Pics or it didn’t happen. Personally I like the braided high temp split loom. I use fabric tape at the entries and exits. Makes it look super clean. This place has anything you need in the way of loom, super huge selection.

I still like braided better. Most of mine is but I still did use a bit of regular plastic split loom, there’s more I need to do with the braided. If you can get to both ends it’s nice to get the type that’s not split, it just slips over the end and then when you pull it tight it constricts until it’s tight, then I put heat shrink ends on it to secure it.

The Whipple alone by itself makes it sick!!!!
I'm still trying to convince my spouse that it's absolutely necessary to spend $8K on a car that's worth $10K to install a SC. But i will do it eventually, I promise!
