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

[George B]

Friiiiick.
Casually driving down the road on my way to rotate tires and other upgrades/maintenance... Catch this damn container seal straight through the tire.
The hole is way too large to be patched. So now instead of getting another 15 or 20,000 miles out of these tires, one of them is trash and I just spent 1,350 bucks on four new ones. Hopefully they arrive soon since my spare is about 2" shorter than what I have on it now.

On the bright side, I suppose I have three spare tires that match the size once the new ones get mounted.

03 7.3 e350.

So far i love it except to work on its a *****. It too like the denali went 5k of daily driving before the first tow and still blew out the rad.

Fixed it in the parking lot of autozone.

With my luck, way out in the country with no service and no people.
that patch would blow.

me =


Driving around town, yeah i don't see a problem with that.


good time to be sure your spare tire carrier works i suppose.

I got the flex plate bolted on today.

the converter bolts go through that sealing surface for the rear main.
so it seems if unsealed bolts are used, it could mean oil leak right through the flex plate?!

ARP says to use Loctite 242 as a "thread lube"
seems it would also work as a thread sealant also...

I spared no Loctite 242 on the threads, this is not something i want to redo later.


Also, all things (*.*) were 242'd.

Nealy tire repair kit patch would be able to plug that size hole from the inside

Ran around and did some shopping today. Man I miss the peppiness that a higher alcohol percentage gives

Same. I like the station I fuel at but may try somewhere else for the 89 octane. Otherwise it’s back to the E85.

That sux. I had a large hole in one of my tires, yrs ago, I used 2 plugs in the hole and it was fine. Maybe try that? And some tire slime for good measure? Just an idea....

Yeah, I was already shopping for tires even though I didn't quite need them yet. So this just made me pull the trigger sooner than I had hoped. ‍
