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

Finally laid down the Duplicolor Graphite rattlecan and clearcoat on my declads I've been working on. They're not brand new factory wheel with new powder coat fresh, but I'm happy with how they turned out.

IMO, that's one of the points of declads- cool but cheap! I planned to paint mine black, but scored a deal on some 22s. Have plans for some center caps?

Just going to get some 3.25" Ebay specials and paint them in the same color.

I'm still in about $200/ea, I did the painting and chrome removal myself but took them to a repair shop after I got all the foam off to have them acid dipped, sand blasted, and lips machined to get rid of all the damage (last picture, bare metal before primer). But yeah, try finding a great looking 6 spoke wheel in a decent offset that's under $200. I don't like my factory Denali wheels and I'm certainly not daily driving on $1,500 worth of Mickey Thompsons haha so this was just a cool project to get some decent looking wheels to throw some regular street tires on.

Changed the oil in the Yukon as well as the plug wires.

Actually, my 16 year old son changed the oil and swapped out the plug wires.

Can I borrow him...? I will return him in good repair....

I washed mine in the car wash and was very disappointed by the outcome. The rinse water was dirty and left terrible spots. It ended up causing it to rain today so after I took the wife on a short shopping trip in the rain I wiped it down in the garage. Much better. I really want to wax it but it is going to the body shop in a couple weeks and needs a bunch of touchup. I picked up a can of engine cleaner and washed it down under the hood. Much better!

I have not ran the engine for a 4 days is it normal to make like a valve slap noise? it only did it for a few seconds or is it a sign that the engine is going out

Isn't that the infamous piston slap people talk about?

well i did not have it on for several days 4-5 days so i'm sure all the oil drained out it has not done it since
