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

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

First attempt at replacement of those radiator baffles.

Used sheet aluminum.
used a screw driver to give it some stiffening lines...

I also found i had some nice reusable push lock retainers that fit the holes perfectly!

I'm sure this will make a terrible sound on the freeway, so I'll probably give it some rubber gasket or something along those lines.

Not looking forward to replacing mine. But I did buy a full set off of eBay of new OEM pieces. Since GM apparently doesn't have any.
Mine are all rotted and split.

Radiator Baffle
It's the same dude at the same store. She has them for sale individually though.
But he did see that I bought all four and he put them all in one box and ship them relatively quickly.

They’re pretty proud of those little pieces of rubber aren’t they? $130 for 4 of them?

4 baffles eh
I'm guessing the smaller ones are on the ends behind the headlights.

that aluminum sheet cost me less than $20 and i have enough to do all 4.

PITA part is the template...

 

[gooffeyguy]

The 2 smaller ones by my headlights are ripped and just kind of laying there

I like that idea. I might use my brand new ones as a template and do the same thing... Could even throw some rubber seals around the edge that meet up to the radiator when I put the new Cold Case in.

give you some sound deadening + if they rot later down the road. It will just expose the metal backing.
