yup, I have 8 + one of those doorbell cams.
Also have an Australian Shepard that's very good at keeping an eye on the yard.
funny dog, even if he likes you the teeth come out in a creepy "smile".
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Last night FedEx finally graced me with their presence, got the new oil pump!
Only 4 days late.
And today my task is to first clean the garage for any rouge cotton fluffs that seem to find their way everywhere.
(somehow they manage to find their way into every oil passage way in the engine if i leave it un bagged)
Then close the garage door, unbag the engine.
install oil pump and see if i can't tighten down the cam bolt...
If yes, then on goes the front cover and oil pan!!
from there I'll toss the valley cover on loosely.
then back to cylinder head work!!
supposed to be like 90 next weekend, yay summer...
I was supposed to have this thing done by now, but at least I'm nearly out of the engine internals.
Been focused on not allowing my self to sweat or blead inside of the engine!
Sweat will corrode, and blood will eat holes in metal if left.
I still haven't checked pushrod length, seems i need the actual valve springs installed if i wish to compress one of the new lifters.
Once i have that figured out, the engine is ready to get installed in the hoe (w/o the heads)!!
Also learned something new watching youtube vids on head porting, apparently when you reseat the valves like i did back in Dec.
the valve height changes, and you have to be wary of that and possibly shim the springs or some nonsense.
so that's going to be something i need to learn about before the heads go on.
So they might take a "quick" trip to the machine shop once i have the heads where i like them.

Installed Blue LED overhead lights will get a pic. Going to leave the visor lights as is- OEM. GF says the light is more natural and I agree.

Got my cold case, looks mighty Purdy.
Got my vibrant v-band and flex pipe.
And the Walker quiet flow "turbo style bus muffler"
Hope it doesn't drone, I don't like looking at a resonator hanging by the rear tire, but I might have to add one later.

Changed the puddle lamps too. The license plate lights are a no go, rusted screws.

Mine are rusted and got them out no problem. Use the right size screwdriver. Hit it with a hammer with pressure and turn it on impact. The shock breaks then loose.
Or, if there's room, a hand impact tool might work:
I’m not sure exactly which weatherstrip you’re referring to but yes they can be purchased and replaced. I’m just mentioning it because you said it’s showing signs of wear and it has a tear. You can look up parts for your vehicle on an online dealer parts site like www.gmpartsgiant.com and then Google the part number for a price. Always check for a shipped price, some places will show you a low price for the part but no shipping cost until you get ready to pay, and it’s high. I buy most of my stuff on Amazon or Rock Auto but sometimes only the dealers have it.
