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

You know I was watching for it to sensor that one. But the net nanny lets that nip slip.

I do have a smaller hose from radiator that connects to the tank above coolant level. Did order a new hose as well. Shouldn't have to plug it as it goes to the radiator I hope? I was going to disconnect it but couldnt find the right size plug and gave up.

I guess yours is different than mine. wonder where the overflow is?

pretty sure the pressure tester fitting covers the overflow hole, it did on the wife 04 and there is little difference on the gmt800's

looking at the screw on part, the seal is at the very top, how mine is setup. I don't thing it would seal it off. the old school kinda that just pushed down and locked with a half turn it did.

but guess mine is pretty different.

I assumed it would just leak out from under the cap? idk

yeah, guess so. wouldn't have expected that. everyone I have has a 2nd hose for a to drain any over flow down and away.

huh. gm.. what can ya do

I'd be the last to know. Not a movie buff. Hell, I couldn't even tell you where my TV remotes are at the moment. I know where my stereo remote control is, though! (It's on my phone- Yamaha AV Controller app)

It's a sealed and pressurized system. There is no "overflow" like the older generations. That which looks like an overflow tank with a pressure-rated "radiator cap" on it is a surge tank. That nipple by the cap is to expel what would get by that cap in an over-expansion or over-pressurization event. If coolant is leaking out of that, then the "rad cap" is leaking and the surge tank is too full.

I get that.. but all 3 of my newer gm cars have it. the yukon and volt have 2, one on both cooling systems.

when I threw a belt at the track on the c6 it emptyed it radiator thru that hose onto the ground. just seems weird for some to have it and others not.

Tried replacing the running board motors on Deathscalade but no dice! motors are corroded to the bracket so returning the running board motors and reordering the motors with new brackets which are $$$ I guess this is the perk to driving older stuff but I was hoping I could replace just the motors and not the motor + bracket since the price increase is substantial

I gave up on the folding running boards and just went with stationary tube boards
