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

[Just Fishing]

Control arm's probably won't make it for today, but my new lifter pre-load sounds amazing.

Is this "dry rot" around the outside tread of my tires? All 4 tires look the same, it's only along the outer tread. The rest of the treads have life left, but the manufacture date of these tires are 2016.

We plan on taking a road trip next month. Was planning on getting new tires afterwards, but now seeing this, I might do it before hand. View attachment 371866

Yes. They all do that after a few years. The ones on the avalanche are way worse than that. Replacing them in a month or two

Stupid tab broke off the dash trim so I drill the hole and zip tied it to the main dash. Going to need to order some parts…
@iamdub remind me how you supported your center speaker…

Sorry, but that wasn't me. I don't have a center speaker. All I've done is epoxied two cracks on the dash- the one on the right side of the gauge cluster hump and the one at the forward left of the passenger airbag. This was years ago when those were the only two. There are more now and that front piece is even more fooked.

That was @Doubeleive ,I do believe, lol

I've done it also. Pop the grill off with a plastic trim tool and the speaker is mounted with screws in the corners. Remove the speaker and tape/glue/etc a thick piece of that grey/black cushion foam to the bottom to give the speaker support from underneath. Can't remember how thick, probably best to measure.

I had at least 10-15 of those notices and a couple more came after I had it done, lol

#metoo

Ive been waiting for the parts to be in stock so I can take them in.

If you pull the speaker out and look down in there it's not a flat surface under there it's angled a bit so I just cut some styrofoam to fit so it would support the bottom of the speaker and I put epoxy around the screw mounts for the speaker because they crack as well. They must have had the village idiot design the dash and then chose the cheapest vendor for the plastic. I mean it doesn't take a scientist to figure out hey this might break from bouncing around going down the road, maybe I should brace it, hell even a single stock of plastic under it would have helped.

It is the worst design! I had the speaker out but ran out of time to do any more. I will come up with something some other day. I might squirt some expanding foam into a ziplock and let it self level…
Will do a test bag first of course!

All buttoned back up and all maintenance done, so unless something flat out breaks then she should be good to go for a long ways View attachment 371953

Where'd you get the blanket that's around the battery?

it's a corvette battery cover/insulator, I think I have both battery's wrapped in insulation also, it's my feeble attempt to try and keep the heat deflected.
