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

[mikez71]

Got my new starter today, delco remy. Hope the specs are good, I don't really know!
The commutator / brush ripple pattern is more of a circle. The folded paper created a little dementia.

Do you know what you averaged for mileage? I did the same trip last November, WI to AL on a stock 5.3 and was right at 16 mpg for the entire trip. First big trip in my rig and I loved it. We used to take our mini van which was fine but this is certainly the way to go.

SO this is the Tahoe's 3rd trip to the Gulf. 1st trip was 5.3 WITH DoD - averaged around 25 mpg
Last year was 5.3 DoD Delete ( during summer ) averaged right around 20-21 mpg
This year went in March - so winter blend gas and averaged just under 19 mpg

Doorman 38300 will fix that right up! And it's greaseable. $25View attachment 425390

Looks like I need to order a few of these to have them on hand.
Thanks for posting this.

Anyone have a good source for weatherstripping?
The driver's door opening piece is starting to fall apart so it needs to be replaced.

I know the usual spots like Rockauto and whatnot, but does anyone have someone they have dealt with that has good prices and great service?

best price I found was on amazon from world parts direct, around $100 each (oem)

Thank you, Sir.
I will check them out.
Did the weatherstrip happen to come with the little plastic push clips?
Or do I need to source them separately?

I've used https://www.clipsandfasteners.com/ many times in the past for all sorts of fasteners and clips so I would most likely use them again if the new piece does not come with them.

if you buy oem they come ready to install with clips, the one that goes on the body from the wiper shroud to rear door slides on the front and has a sticky portion for the rear door and 1 clip at the bottom, that's how they are made. both are easy to install

what a silly problem to have ha

rear door handle broke, as they seem to do, this is the 2nd one. atleast the knock offs seem good and pretty cheap. but the child door lock is on, so can't open the door from the inside handle.

I haven't even messed with it yet, part was just delivered a bit ago. anyone got any ideas of how to open a door with the child lock on without using the outside handle lol.

without damaging anything I would try a slim-jim harbor frieght sells them pretty cheap I think
or if you have roadside assistance for no charge, call and say you locked your keys in the car, when the guy shows up just have him open that door, he gets paid for any door I am sure
if you pull the other door panel off you can see exactly where the rod goes to make things easier

I'm thinking flip the seat back and try and take the door panel off somehow. Or if any piece of the door handle is left outside drill a screw into it so you can move it? On a side note. This guy below sell GM o.e.m. door handle take offs on ebay for only $20 for the entire set. I grabbed a set of gold ones for my Yukon.
