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

[CHOO CHOO]

No engine oil change?

He added a note, asking to please NOT check the oil.

See, Sam gets it. I change that a few weeks ago.


Soooo, on this note. Mechanic called and gave me the wonderful news. Honestly knew something wasn't right as it's been acting up a little (shifting slightly weird, not that I know what I'm talking about or looking for and probably a completely different issue) but the rear differential gears are shot. Said they opened the housing and a few bits of metal fell out. Said the spider gear was broke in certain areas and (housing of something) was cracked. So they are going to replace it.

Probably gonna cost me half the price of what this tahoe is worth.....
So, my tahoe won't be ready until tomorrow.......

So what makes these break or go bad? Said the fluid wasn't too bad. Wasn't low. The way I drive affect it? I do drive pretty aggressive.

It’s not gonna be good. You didn’t ask for prices ? The fluid alone is a couple hundred for all those iirc. And you forgot the transfer case! Might as well get it done too...I love to spend others money.

You jinxed me.......

If it is a G80 and you were aggressive in the snow this winter it may have damaged it.

Long after the stimulation of the hot-dogging in the snow is gone.

Dammit. Do not like. I hope this is a shop you trust...? I’d be looking at it in person. And yes, the G80, is affectionately known as the Grenade 80. [emoji20][emoji107]
