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

[George B]

Front brakes pads and rotors. Should be a simple job. Then life punches you in the diggler for no reason.

Driver's side caliper boots didn't want to fold up properly when pressing them back, so that was a fun time.

Then the passenger side rotor bolt decides to be frozen & strip.

It's funny how an hour can turn into two.

I rebought Raybestos Element3 pads/rotors from RockAuto. I will say, I was happy with the braking performance throughout the 2+ years of service, and especially how the rotors didn't rust, so whatever that light paint/coating is that they cover the rotors in is pretty good against road salt/brine spray.

One thing they don’t like is stopping from 100+ mph. I warped my rears.

For those I use one of these, actually the older version, you just smack it with a hammer and it "hopefully" breaks it loose. always has worked for me

Apparently rotors don't warp. O, at least that's what I've heard right before big internet arguments.

I have turned a lot of warped rotors my day!

well... I was just cruising lol, windows down, music blasting, NOT paying attention and there was was in my mirror, not sure where he came from he wasn't using radar and he wasn't marked on Waze I think he was sitting on a onramp 2 exit's back because that's the only place he could have been and is where they sometimes sit doing paperwork.
He was a little excited, gave me a follow my finger sobriety test after I told him I haven't had a drink in over 25 years.
I didn't think I was going that fast at first, then he said I was doing 110+ and pulling away from him

$fine will probably be around $300-350 after it is all said and done, I will just add it to my collection of tickets

he has radar check marked on there but it wasn't on unless my V1 has suddenly bit the dust

i challenge every ticket. i win about 80%. i like to recall as much as possible. when you question the radar, you can feel free to point out you have a good detector, do for that fact alone his story doesn't make sense, because if he was anywhere near you , you would've known

he got me, I can't deny that and apparently they are targeting that area because I have seen 4 cars pulled over in the exact same spot since then, basically each time I drive thru there. I need to slow down anyway for the time being.
just drove 4 hours, 2 of them thru tight twisty hairpin turn 2 lane roads, that was fun. You can only go so fast thru those unless it's a closed course. People just pull over and let me by

Took it out to get beer. @PG01 pic of projector cut off for you. And waxed hood with Turtle Wax 2 coats. Cleaned windows inside and out.

Looks like the dash is the 1970-80’s GM interior ‘red’ or as I always saw it as maroon….
