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

[R3cord303]

I was worried you had lost a lifter like I did. Pulled passenger valve cover and spun engine over by hand and noticed #4 intake wasnt moving

@Rocket Man Do you know of anybody that makes Delrin sway bar bushings for the GMT900 platform?

Those bolt seals are a PIA. I used dish soap on them to get em in and it was still a bear.

Agree.

I’ve used dish soap, motor oil, white lithium grease, etc.

I used Sil Glyde and 6 of the 8 seals ripped anyway. Pissed me off something fierce. The new fill tube won’t accept the old cap so that’s being held in with ******* electrical tape for the time being.

Not yet thank God. I was actually surprised how clean it looked in there for a 300K+ motor. I had planned on modifying the driver’s side VC PVC port but my magnet did not stick to the plate under there so that tells me it’s stainless or aluminum. I can weld the latter but I’d have to do it at work on their mig. So that project will be for another day when I replace the ripped bolt seals. Grrrr..

Energy Suspension makes poly ones with zerk fittings to grease them with. I don’t know of any Delrin ones.

Has anybody else had this issue?? This is the one I installed. There is no tab inside the neck for the thread on the old cap to engage. It's all smooth inside. And the old cap only fits down to the o-ring, and not past it. What other cap is out there that would just push fit in? maybe a different generation cap??? I am lost here and not happy. I guess worst case I can find an expansion plug to fit it. Like Caterpillar uses on their engines.

In looking at this, it says it doesn’t fit a 2009 Tahoe 5.3 or my 2013 Yukon 6.2. Did you by chance get the wrong part?

Did for me?

Nothing extravagant. Drove it around to the back of the shop and made another video of it:
