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

Joseph would have enjoyed having a pillow when we were working on his truck this winter.

I bet! But he's still building up his calluses. Kids gotta earn their pillows.

How did that go for ya btw? You did it yourself?

I was going to, but it's been rainy on and off around here. I removed the wheel and dropped it off at a shop 3 blocks from my house (they do all my inspections and repairs I don't feel like doing, lol) along with a new ACDelco/Schrader Electronics sensor I bought through Amazon for $11 and they installed it for $25

Also, I've used a bit over a quart of oil in 2500 miles... Might just start doing 2500 mi changes at least until I yank the motor and hone the cylinders and slap some new rings in it.

Tried the upper engine soak yet just in case it's a stuck ring(s)? Compression test?

so, i did comp and leak down when i got it, it was decent.
used 1qt in 5,000mi
now 55k later, its more than double the consumption...not a lot in the catch can either.
but when the blower goes on, im sure itll only get worse and be leaking horsepowers.
i might do another comp and leakdown before i yank it(doing a cam/springs, vvt delete, and dod delete) just for curiosity.

You can always run a vac pump and adjustable relief valve on it, so the crankcase always sees about 10" vacuum.

I do that with my blown mustang. The other side of the vac pump empties into a catch can with a breather at the top.

I still see evidence.

Finally washed it on the way into work real quick.

Anybody have a clue why GM would have programmed these things to turn the AC off when engine braking in first gear?
That's pretty damn annoying when it's 100° outside.

Does anyone know the factory underhead length for the rear wheel studs? I’m finding between 2.281” and 2.575”. I’d guess it’s the shorter one. I can pull the wheel and rotor off to check but if someone knows or has one laying around... been crazy sick lately and won’t be able to mess with it for a while
