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

I was thinking the same.

being it is california if he is keeping it on his property even if it is just sitting there it's probably a good idea to have it in your name anyway, all he has to say to dmv is it is non-op

California and it's smog laws, lol

A '75 is smog exempt but an '80 isn't

Yeah, 76 and newer require a smog every other year still.
It used to be 25-year-old cars would fall off of requiring smog. Until they got to 76 where there was a fair amount of smog equipment on most vehicles so that's where they locked it in like a holes.

My 95 mustang doesn't require smog here. Hasn't for almost 10 years. It has no cats or smog pump. It's OBD1 and about 10 years ago Missouri said smog only required for OBD2 vehicles (96+)

Smog? Hmmmm never seen it. Inspections? nope. Darn.

I did a quick ceramic coat before winter set in. I still need a bit of paint correction but wanted some protection especially on the windows and trim.

I'm going to do a front brake job during winter break. I'm not wanting to switch to larger calipers or anything like that. What's a good set of pads/rotors for these rigs?

I have noted that many here will either swear by the OEM components or the Power Stop stuff. I noted that there are even slotted Delco rotors.

I thought I've read in the past about the PPV components being better than the standard ones

Sitting in a Canadian mom and pop shop waiting for alignment on yukon after replacing front strut/coils.

Someone brings in a F-250 that hasn't been on the road for a year asking what it minimum needs to get back on the road.
Owner calls them after taking a look and saying it will need at Minimum:
- New battery
- 4 rotors ( said they "think" calipers and pads can be reused )
- 1h further inspection for error codes etc

I'm sitting here thinking "makes sense, sounds like 600$ CAD?".
Owner goes "we've priced the estimate here, you are looking at 1465$ CAD ( ~1100$ Freedom Dollars ) as a minimum here, excluding anything else we will find"

What the fudge?

Added more coolant. Seems to be a much more frequent thing when it's cold. Since there is no visible leak in the front, could there be any other way to lose coolant while driving other than a head gasket?

I'm kind of dumb to the rear-heater system, so is it possible that coolant is escaping from that? How would I check?

Would I be able to fire up the truck, engage "REAR" on the HVAC controls, and then waddle my ass under the truck to look for drips?
