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

[Rocket Man]

the bolts are bigger on the front Baer brackets, 22mm -vs-18mm stock, what do the wilwoods torque at?

Ok, I just looked this up as well as OEM specs. I was wrong, OEM is supposed to be 129 front for brackets to spindle and 148 for rear brackets to backing plate which is backward to me since the front brakes do most of the work.

The Wilwoods call for to 75 for the brackets, 65 for the nuts (front and rear) that hold the caliper but they’re a different design. The bracket has 2 big ass studs pointing up that the caliper slides down onto and then the 65 lb nuts hold it down. It’s a solid mount that you need to shim in both directions- side to side and up and down so the pads ride perfect on the rotor. There’s no slide pins.

I looked it up on alldatadiy and those guys have it wrong. Here’s both my 08 Silvy and 02 Yukon, both show front of 129 and rear of 148. Well, Silvy only shows the 2500 series rear since the 1500’s had drums. Maybe that was a 2500 series they were working on but that doesn’t make sense, those are 221 front and rear.

My a/c started blowing hot hair. I had to go buy freon. I didnt know they had switched out of R-134. Which i guess its more expensive and uses a different hose.

The only thing I know has changed is the valve on the can. The puncture style aren’t sold anymore, so the cheap hose with the puncture plunger is obsolete.

well there all f-in tight I beat on it pretty hard so I'll call it good till next year
next up will be taking care of a tiny exhaust leak I think one of the clamps needs adjusting and I am hearing a little rattle around 2k rpm so
I guess I gotta go bug the guys at the muffler shop.
needed to get the brakes all done I have surgery on Wednesday so probably won't be trying to do much for a couple weeks.

Good luck with your surgery, Wes. Hope it goes smoothly, and that you have a quick recovery.

They make cheap little adapters. I have one and used a new style can on my old hose, with the adapter.

I didn't even know they changed the can. Where'd you find that adapter?
