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

[gooffeyguy]

Some of you are making the motor mount swap harder than you need to. It can be done completely from above if you pull the steering shaft. I used an engine hoist to lift the engine. But careful use of a jack works, too. Don't be afraid to cut off the heat shield on the old mount, which is in the way of the mount-to-block bolts. It took me 2 hours with help from a tall, long-armed buddy to reach the rear bolts.

Yeah, break or cut that heat shield off before even trying to remove the block bolts. I spent more time trying to get to those bolts with that shield there, then realized I'm not reusing that shield and cut it off and was able to easily access the block bolts.

...I do have an engine hoist, but figured the jack was easier than pulling the hoist out then figuring a way or where to hook it...

In my case, I was at my buddy's house, with a gravel driveway. So rolling the hoist was easier than a jack. We used a small tow strap wrapped around the front accessory drive. You have to pull the intake tube from the TB, but that's easy enough. You have to pull the engine cover off to make enough room to rock it over anyway. So access is as easy as it gets.

I have a z71 with the aluminum plate. I didn’t remove it. I put a 4x4 block under the pan near the oil filter and bell housing.

if you remove the liner maybe you can remove the mount from the wheel well. The issue from the top tho was getting to the third chassis bolt near the firewall. The angle is really tough unless you’re using more than one swivel.

Yep, we'll be going in from the wheel well, liner is out as are the control arms.

Machine shop told me "I'll try and get it done by Wednesday, and I'll call you when done"

I of course heard: "so I'll call you on Thursday right?"

Otherwise, I'm doing the every other day I need call them.

working on the 4th week now, when i was quoted a max of two weeks.

Oh and i took a 50 cal rifle brush to the oil passage ways.

Found white floofs.
You know, cotton trees @%^$!!$^

I might just block off the oil cooler passage way for now.

Why block it off? Just use a can of transmission cooler flush and blow that stuff out of it. The factory oil and transmission coolers are separate from the rest of the radiator unless they’re leaking internal of the radiator. Or are you thinking the radiator oil cooler might be the cause of the sparkles?
