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

This one had me flummoxed for a while - the one still connected in the picture. I used my Lisle tool that worked on the filter and the lines to the rail but it didn't seem to work. Gave it a couple days of thought and some helpful chats with @Fless who presented another possibility - to remove those lines from the tank and leave them on the body. He also requested pics of the lines to help future TYF folks. After taking a picture, I pressed on the line and heard a click. Damnit, just needed a firmer tug...lol. Was able to disconnect it successfully.

I hate those things. Makes me angry just looking at them.

As noted, I just ignore those and unsnap the lines from the top of the tank, and disconnect the lines at the pump. Too much of a hassle for me to mess with those front connectors.

Used it to pull a new utility trailer home! After years of borrowing my best friends trailer, finally decided to get one. 5x10.

Brand new bearings had some weird nicks/scuffs on them. 2 different sets...
I ended up scraping the second one with a razor and hitting it with a little 2500 grit. The scuffs had to have happened before they packaged them, cause they were in spots that didn't touch other bearings in the package.
Ended up getting it in, but I haven't decided which RTV to use on the side bolts for the main caps. Put a little primer on them last night. Think I'm gonna paint them.

Finished the fuel pump install. It runs!

Still have the extended crank/no start randomly.

At least you know the fuel pump isn’t the problem!

At 166k, figured it was an ok parts cannon move. Did the FPR on the rail first. Now I'm stumped. I'll start a thread later.

That was just good maintenance then.

This sounds familiar. I was having a similar problem which was why I replaced my fuel pump as well. The pump wasn't bad I had a small fuel leak in fuel pump housing. I was losing fuel pressure when it sat for a while and then when I went to start it wouldn't start right up. Replacing my pump solved my leak, but maybe you have a leak somewhere down the line?

I never noticed any fuel because it would evap before I could see anything. And in hindsight I would recall occasionally noticing a smell but never thought anything of it (esp with all the other strange smells around)

When that happened to me it was the cam position sensor. I replaced it with one from auto zone and it was still doing it, I checked everything else possible and finally pulled an OEM one out of another known good motor and its been working since.
