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

[wsteele]

Figures.
I was planning to get my AZ permit a while back in order to have the ability to carry in NV.
But NV reversed their ruling and quietly put UT back on the approved list.

We also have permitless carry here in UT, people think that the plan is to raise the requirement for a permit here in order to give us better reciprocity.
I'm hoping that's the case.

If i end up visiting OR often, then i'll look at the requirements to have a valid permit there.

If they go with a similar Enhanced carry permit concept like ID and a lot of other states now, the reciprocity is very broad (includes NV). Only the most progressive states are excluded (or I guess better said, exclude themselves), like CA, ILL, etc. OR just requires you to bring your enhanced course certificate and their forms to get it issued.

Edit, it may be that OR permit is issued with the above paperwork, if you are a border state. Not sure if it is as easy for non border states.

Trying to get my hands on some of this crap
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ptx-80697 (copper gasket spray).
everyone is out of freaking stock!

I just paid $20 a can off of ebay...
at least that's the shipped price.

That’s the shit for the head gaskets! Remember cometics can be reused up to 3 times. If the heads come off again for any reason remember that.

I spent all day, got real close.
then i checked the new gaskets with the heads, I might have taken off a little too much around the chamber.

fk it, wife said do it.
get this done.

Heads with manifolds and stock exhaust FTW

Now you need a cam...

Drove mine ~ 150 miles to go adventuring. Adventuring was successful and awesome. Saturday night we took it to dinner and we sat and ate in the parking lot while it got HAMMERED with quarter sized hail but not a single dent on it. However it did throw a code, the autozone reader said P015B, so i guess its time to start working on 02 sensors. I ordered the one that was giving the code, hopefully this corrects the big dip in mileage i noticed it was starting to get...down to 12 instead of 14/15

It’s a real shame tho you killed some 799 heads.

 

[Rocket Man]

I hear that parts of OR may end up as parts of Idaho.

Yeah right. And Texas is seceding from the US too.

 

[Just Fishing]

Depending on how balanced my engine is, looks like those heads can get me to a 7k rpm redline.

Maybe wot shifts @ 6500?
Hmm

It’s a real shame tho you killed some 799 heads.

Yup, but i gave it a shot.
I could have used those to either recoup some of the $$, or to build up the 5.3 later.

in all fairness, i could still use them.
i have them balanced out pretty well.
I just ended up with a tiny bit of gasket overhang...
If i went to a larger gasket i would feel ok about using them.

Where they ended up, the other one i was about to smooth it out to make it look better.
then i decided i better check the head gasket fitment before i spent another 3hrs flattening and blending the bowl.

Not bad, it's just that head gasket overhang i ended up with.
not much, but enough that I'm not willing to chance fkn up the only gaskets i can source right now.


I also couldn't find much on others that opened up a set of heads this much.
I figure about 1-2k to ship my Tahoe back home from the coast...
I'm making money here really.
