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

[Just Fishing]

I had a Corporate amex card at my last job role, pretty much had it to pay for some traveling they had me do.
I ended up on an extended trip in Europe, and i ended up going past the "we want our money" date.
Customer service was just awesome.


For a first card,
my experience with a credit union was also awesome.
Just understand that they should never go past the 50% of the overall limit.
If you do, get it down before the billing cycle asap.

How i started out was to just use the card to buy something that i had the money for, and then pay it on it every month for 3 months, then pay it off.

It also helps that i have an addiction to surplus pews.
I Gotta keep that credit active!

Been doing some exploration in the Bighorn mountains.

I’ve always wanted to turn my 02’ into a little 4x4 tonka truck like yours. Similar to the 80’s blazers/broncos.

Now back to what we did to our NNBS GMT900 today.....

I replaced the oil cooler line block gasket. Hopefully that fixes the leak.

I dropped the front driveshaft down onto the sway bar to give me more room by removing the 4 u-joint strap bolts.

man this is good to know. I was talking about trying to figure out away to do this and you just made my day.

I use my AMEX as basically my debit card and pay my bills with it.

Hopefully this will help them and they will be better off than I was

I’m glad I brought this up. I figured most of you guys would either wonder “wtf is Adam babbling about now” or “who does this guy think he is”. My uncle is 76 years old and has NO credit. Paid cash for everything and he now is paying twice the insurance premium for his 04’ than I do for my Denali. Hopefully the credit trick helps out all of you and your kids.

A few years back I got wise to the benefits of rewards cards. Since then I’m getting between 2-5% cash back on every dollar spent. Utilities, taxes, insurance, gas, anyone that accepts plastic. I’ve been walking around for months with the same cash in my wallet. I never use it.

Cards can be a heavy burden for those without financial discipline or in a tight financial spot. But they’re a nice perk as long as you never carry a balance.

You’re better off carrying a balance to show you’re responsible enough to have “revolving credit” as opposed to having either a maxed out card or a card that you could potentially use the max amount on.

The lower door seals, to me at a PITA. Would prefer to have em off if they weren’t a part of keeping water from getting inside the truck. They catch all the dirt up under them, leading me to think thats where the rust will start. I pull mine off every now and then to wash the doors properly. The ones on the back doors practically seal up the weep holes on the doors as well. I’ve had my rear doors partially fill up with water, not only from the seals but as we all also know crap inside the doors.

*Tip to help them, the quarter panels and your rocker panels from rusting out*

-Take a bottle and a small piece of clear hose (small enough to fit inside the grommet holes used for the seals).
-Fill the bottle full of transmission fluid (you could also use the Tranny fluid bottle and just tap into or screw on a new cap) install the hose.
-Fill the bottom of your doors with a small amount of fluid (don’t go crazy). Allow any excess to drain and wipe up any on the outside of the vehicle.
-Reinstall the

Glad I was able to share. Knowledge is power

See this credit game stuff needs to be taught in school. So all we can do now is set them up and educate them.

Ha! They hardly even teach mathematics in school…let alone simple physics. You’re absolutely right…it only going to work if parents who take the time and care enough to be proactive about setting them up for success. Otherwise they will forever be stuck playing catch-up after the fact.

Bingo! Key words…”credit union”. They may be owned by the “big banks”, but the operate much differently. Just be sure to ask them which credit company they report to. Same goes for any credit card you want to get, since it’s good to have established credit with all three (Equifax, Trans Union and Experian)

Or just use a spray can of Fluid Film and its little red tube if you have it.

Fluid Film? Never heard of it. Is it similar to muscle grease?

Isn't transmission fluid deadly for paint finishes?
