What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Air hammer is a fantastic idea!

Got mine for $2.00 at an auction.

Theres a thrift store here that has 1/2 the building for tools. I should see if they have one

Definitely worth a shot. Helps with stretching the tool budget.

While you're looking at die grinders, check out a body saw. GREAT for trimming plastic (air dams, bumper covers, splash shields, resonator tubes...)

I have one of those but I need a bigger compressor to run it. That’s next on my list. Tired of running out of air.

My, what a scary sounding name for a tool LOL

I was going ro suggest using the air body saw instead of the die grinder with cut-off wheel on the plastic. The die grinder spins too fast and melts/rolls the plastic and makes more of a mess on the cut edge to have to clean up.

Those saws do too. Pretty much anytime you cut plastic with a saw or cut off wheel, it tries to melt back together. If you could use a saw blade with coarse enough teeth it might not, but then they grab. The best way to cut plastic is with a hot knife.

Yep!

When I swapped rear shocks on my ‘08, I read the bulletin, installed shocks, forgot bulletin, got error lights, remembered bulletin, fixed it.

Thanks gents. I will crawl under and take a peek.

Got the Tahoe into the tire shop for alignment after the leveling kit. I noticed yesterday that the drivers side front brake line was seeping up at the hard line compression fitting where it goes from hardline to softline on the frame so they'll look at that too.

I think its going to be time for a dual battery conversion and a pair of optima yellowtops sooner than I was expecting. I killed the battery yesterday and put it on the charger for several hours, and it started right up to pull it into the garage. This morning it almost didn't start.
