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

[aflumb]

Well finally had something major go wrong with the Tahoe. No bad since buying it new in 2012 and putting 81k miles. I have zero complaints

Had to replace the driver side motor mount. This also fixed the random clunk I was getting



While doing both mounts I also replaced the idler pulley and tensioner.
Only because it was cheap enough. The kit also included both belts but not the stretch tool. Guess I Oder one and replace both when it comes in.

Did you use the H3 mounts?

Stretch tool?

Yeah for the AC belt. They stopped installing tensioner pulleys for the AC belt around 2009 or something. It's a tool that slips onto the crank pulley edge and slips the belt off when rotated.

Is that a Dayco kit or AC Delco with the pulleys and belts?

I grabbed the Dayco kit a couple weeks ago because in the cold weather my belt and pulley makes some odd noises. Plus the belts need to be replaced anyway. I haven't installed them yet. I do have the stretch tool though.

It is a dumb "improvement" GM made.

You can order a tensioner for a 2008 and install it, the bolt holes are still there according to one of the other members who has already done it.

I'm not sure how much the stretch tool costs but I would rather put that money towards a tensioner.

This was the Gates kit without the tool.

Thanks for the info on this. The good tool is $20 but to swap to the 08 tensioner setup would be about $20 more. I may just go to the actual tensioner setup.

You will need a different (longer) AC belt if doing this
