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

[NOSOK]

cleaned all the crap out around the sunroof and installed the new front door seals, still need to do the drivers seat cushion and cover

which door seals did you put in and did they make a difference in terms of wind noise?

The weatherstripping/seals on my Suburban aren't in great shape and I'm pretty sure they're a contributing factor to the very loud road noise I have at 50+ mph. I might be too cheap to spend $200+ on the full seal replacement though...

cant it be super expensive if you have to break the connections?

I did mine, the hardest part is the balancing of the oil.

Part of why i wanted to tear my old compressor down was to ensure i accounted for all of the oil.


My Tahoe with 175k, high pitched noise when ac running.
I tore my compressor down and found very limited wear.

My vote, do the clutch and keep rocking it.

only downside if the compressor goes would be the flushing required.

All in, the tools to do it are cheap.

Basic gauge set is helpful but not required.

Vacuum pump is right around $100, that's required.

If you do the pump, then it's suggested you get the drier while your at it.
More oil draining and balancing ftw...

And if you need it; it's PAG 46 oil for my 09.
I found that difficult info to find for some strange reason.

I bought the actual GM stuff off of ebay, so i have a ton left...

ive had problems in the past with amazon sending knockoff parts. I looked at those and they aren't sold by amazon. I'm afraid to take the chance on them. Thank you for taking the time to link them though..

I've been reading quite a bit and it appears the cardone brand are the same axles as carquest, Napa, and Duralast. I think I'm going to spend a little more money and buy from advance auto over rockauto and see how it goes. It's easier to go 5 min to the parts store and grab it than to wait. If I have a problem (I'm sure I will eventually), I can drive to store and warranty it vs waiting on shipping. If they are shit, I'll buy oem and take it as a lesson learned.

Today, I replaced the auto ride compressor. Simple job. It's quiet again.
Dorman has lifetime warranty on those. My last one was replaced in 2014. It still worked, just got loud and slow to bring the truck to proper level. All good now. May do cv axle tomorrow

I have AC again!!! Decided to pull the magnet because I decided it looked sketchy. That split ring seriously sucks tho, even with good split ring pliers. $150 and done

Thanks, I took a screenshot of that. I might really need to do this with the engine swap, but because of the compressor location, I’m wondering if I can leave it alone. We’ll see...

send me an i/m if you do. I can send you the factory service manual details for it.
(And I do have it for the avalanche)

Can't decide if I want to take the scenic route or not, scenic route is shorter but takes longer

That one I linked is sold by ac delco, rockauto wants $100 more for the same part, it's your money
