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

[Just Fishing]

I replaced all 4 shocks in the tahoe 2 years ago with oem.

Struts are good, but i started getting a ton of noise coming from the rear suspension.

Last weekend i jacked the tahoe up, supported the rear axle, and confirmed the driver side rear shock makes a ton of noise.

I also had a rough ride after the swap.

I'm guessing it's installer error, but still super weird.

Today the plan is to swap that shock out, and probably the other one later...

And i found the issue.
The holes for the lower shock bolt on the driver side were all wollowed out.

So i welded it to fill the hole, then ground it out to fit the bolt.

The axle will get upgraded later anyways... lol

I noticed some dimming of the headlights briefly on thecopcar a few weeks ago. I've been paying more attention to it, especially as it's happening more often. Doesn't seem to matter hi or low beam. It dims over a couple of seconds, then after a couple more comes back up. it's not sudden going either way. Lamps were part of new headlights I installed 4 years ago. I don't recall which lamps they were or if they were even marked.

Battery gettin' long in tooth is when I see it happening.

Back in the dark ages, it was also a possible sign of a failing voltage regulator.

Was cleaning up the wife's 05 to sell and the stupid passenger presence wire broke under the seat right at the pin (b0092), figured these harness pin keys would come in handy someday, fixed it with a little macgyver work
The pin was male and I don't have any new pins floating around so I unpinned a female pin off a spare harness with some lead wire and wrapped it around the male pin and struck it back in the harness, patched the wire and code gone.

Yeah, I bought a big set of those a while back and have definitely come in handy a few times!

it made it lot easier taking the harness apart without tearing it up trying to shove a poker in there which would have been my alternative.
found it in my purchase history
