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

[iamdub]

Coolest air of the season moved in here overnight so when I headed to work this morning my TPS's were setting off. I'll have to add a few pounds all the way around this weekend. Also installing new front rotors and pads as well Saturday. Sunday I will be patching the roof and mowing grass. There will be some beer drinking involved each evening to celebrate each of my victories as well.

Yup- our temps dropped and everyone's sending me pics of their TPMS warning lights asking me what they should do. Good luck with your weekend chores!

Got state emissions and safety inspection due this month. Once I get the appointment date I'll have to pull the Range device out for a week prior to clear the emissions parameters out to pass. Hopefully she doesn't grenade and throw a lifter during that time.

Mine expired in June, but I cut out and flipped the "6" around to make it a "9", giving me three more months. Now that's expired. I can pass emissions with no problem, but I'd fail inspection because of the tint. My guy I've always used for inspections was busted year before last for ignoring tint, so he was skittish about doing mine last year. I was about to leave, but he insisted he'd do it once the other customers left since I drove 30 mins solely to come to him and always have. I don't wanna put that on him again so I just bought a bootleg inspection sticker this time around.

Abruptly taking the AFM system out of hibernation gives me the heebie jeebies. I say you sell the Range and have your PCM tuned for ~$60 so it'll be permanently off with nothing plugged into the port. Godspeed, young Padawan.

Sounds like she'd be easy to impress.

She's actually really attractive, like the kind that you don't expect to see working at a place that surrounded by a bunch of old dudes 24/7.

You know the rules! If @Rocket Man was able to snipe a pic of his mail lady, then you have no excuse. Bring a dog if you have to. Maybe remove a valve stem cap and stop in for a replacement.

Google sounds easier to use. LOL

Around here driving with expired plates is almost the norm. Hell, I see at least a dozen cars every day with expired plates, and not just a couple months expired, but years. It's like a game my wife and I play, who can spot the most expired plate. I'm in the lead with Dec 2018

Why haven’t you renewed yours? Our DMV was so far behind due to Covid that the state passed a temporary pass for tickets until they catch up but I did mine at the smog test station. You can test and then if you pass you can renew right there.

Motivation building.
Need to find the line pressure port on the side of the 6l80

Supposed to be on the passenger side...


I have the radiator trans cooler bypassed.

I made little elbows out of -6 an tube.
Then found i don't have enough hose clamps.

So i opted for a new one piece bypass.

I also broke out the ol -6 an tubing nipple maker from earls.
Something i bought years ago.
Lost two of the little roller ball bearings.

They make the little nipples by rolling the inside of the tube, idea is to give the hose more grab.

Dial calipers to find the size of the bearings, and a 10 pack via ebay to the rescue!

And of course the transmission cooler hose is a tad too large.
Luckily it's not leaking (yet).

I lost one of the cooler line retainer clips when disconnecting from the radiator.
Luckily it turned up when i degreased and rinsed off the lower radiator hose.

I need that little fker to reconnect when "verify" the issue is the radiator.

(Something that would be nice to know should i replace the crank later... lol)


The one thing i cheap out on, bites me in the rear.
Story of my life... lol

All my plates are current. I do them online and they mail me the stickers

I think the first step of a double flaring tool does the same thing
