I have had a hard time finding the OEM type ones forever. If you can find the part numbers for OEM ones they want $5 apiece or more for each one. I’m gonna go to a wrecking yard too.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

This is what I thought when I first tried it. After a full tank, and another fill up, I was convinced. Now, that’s all I run.

Listen, murphy's law is literally created after me. I've partially learned my lesson and take all necessary precautions and time to complete something. Two days is cutting it close.....

Right with you on that Phil!
Mine is a Yukon, SLT trim. I have seen them on SLE trims for sure, so I am not sure what trims had them and what trims don't.
ditto, lol I know when I go to work on one I better not have the other one blocked in so I can run to the auto parts store if need be which is usually.

Spent all day on it, but I have the hoe's engine totally free except for the last three bolts at the top of the bell housing!
That little astro impact i bought a while back + these little compact swivel sockets for the win.

that little compact impact + those made this nearly effortless.
Impact: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016Q4Y5CM
(out of stock but you get the idea)
Also wtf GM, the fkn bell housing bolts all had these double threaded ends.
not too bad except for the one on the drivers side.
I had to do some serious thinking and combining of sockets in order to use air tools on that one.
No way was i going to turn a fkn wrench.
I ended up mixing the above impact sockets with these little compact ones.

staked those babies up in order to get one hell of a short deep socket with a swivel.
Also the engine mounts, what a pita.
I have noidea how i'm going to bolt those damn things back in.
Also i don't get this one out often, but this air ratchet fkn rocks.

It can do something like 130ft lbs.
If not careful, you can pin your hand in there and bruise the fk out of your self.
I rarely ever use it to tighten bolts, had it break a few when i was first figuring it out.
Shower time, then bed.
tomorrow it begins again.
