ya that was even after I cleaned it up a bit, some of that stuff is practically glued on, I had never lifted the console up before, previous owner had a short hair dog and I have found hair in every possible crack and crevice so far
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

The only thing I've ever towed with this rig is my 5'x8' expanded metal (even the bottom) trailer. Usually to transport my ~800-pound ZTR mower and once a couple months ago loaded to capacity with landscape pavers. I've always had that "zero drop" ball mount and have been using it in the Tahoe. I have a drop mount (6", I think) but I have no reason to use it. Since I mostly tow the mower, the extra angle is convenient for driving up the ramp gate. Also, I lifted the rear of the Tahoe 1" around March or April of this year. I'll revisit the ball mount situation after the Tahoe is 5-6 inches lower than where it currently sits.

Well I guess it's a new day, finally finished the oil pressure switch, fired up and have oil pressure readings again
Definitely having the wrong socket put a damper on the day.
I did lose the old Oil Pressure sensor back there somewhere, should I be worried?
It's a PITA but much better than paying someone 300-500
Key points: Get the Lisle Socket(the Autozone OEM is wrong and won't work) The Oil pressure switch/sensor is vertically installed(many youtube video neglect to tell you that)
While I had a pile of tools, here are the tools you need
(I didn't have a 3/8 swivel, so I ended up using 1/2 drive which worked in my favor)
This combination of tools allows you to work nearly straight down behind the rear plastic shroud(if you have one) and ratchet horizontally:
LISLE Socket
3/8 - 1/2 adapter
1/2 in ratchet
4 inch Wobble extension
-10inch threaded bolt for removing the old filter(and installing the new one)
Look at that nasty old filter, for reference behind it is a high output LED lamp..
Not a fun job, but it's done...hopefully I won't have to do it again for a long while.

Glad you got it done! And it's called a wobble extension I believe.

City driving or have you ever towed that setup on the highway?
I only have about a 2" drop when towing with mine.

Might be an inch or two high; that Shamrock looks like it has a much taller coupler height than 16-"18" and if she tows well with the WD hitch and doesn't sway, call it good.
