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

I used one way back in tech school that had a rubber strap that secured it to the non screw on master cylinders. Can’t remember the brand for the life of me.. that was 25 years ago..

Good old days...

I have this vacuum pump I used. Problem is it suck air bubbles through the threads of the loosened bleeder screw. So while it does work ok to flush, for the final bleeding you have to do the pedal pump thing to make sure there is no air left for sure. I had some silicon hose and adapters from an old brake kit I used to hook up to it.

I have a Mityvac 7201 fluid extractor/dispenser that will suck or blow (lol) and wonder if I can use that to hook up to the master cylinder. I just have to get/find the adapter caps.

Probably MacGuyver one out of a rubber or cork plug or something. Where there is a will and some redneck ingenuity there is a way!!!

Parts came in for the front strut job. Probably won't get to it till next week though.

Got the Air-Lift 1000s installed on the 'Burb after we got back from the Michigan trip in June. Tried them out on a quick camping excursion into nawth gawga a few days later; vast improvement in ride control at 40 lbs pressure with 500 lbs on the hitch (according to the Sherline scale) and lotsa beer in the cooler and a full load of tools. Running them at 10 lbs around town. Also draped some fiberglass cloth across the cracks in the dashboard in anticipation of adding a Dashskin next month. Think that's it until after the Texas/NM trip in December and January. Unless I get a bee up my butt and go over to East Coast Gear for some 4.10s and a Detroit Locker. We'll see.

Thanks. I helped my father-in-law build it starting back in 2009 and we completed it in 2011. He passed away last year and me and my wife are really the only other family members that are into cars and take it to cruises and shows.

You can probably get an OEM reservoir cap cheap, drill a hole for the hose and make an adapter.

Come to think of it, I might just get that pressure bleeder and rig up something with a hose clamp for my wife's Toyota. I agree that a pressure bleeder would eliminate the issues I've had with vacuum bleeders before. It's probably worth giving it a shot, at least.

EDIT: Added to birthday wish list.

peddled her up to 138 she had a little more still but ran out of runway....

Where do you have room to stretch its legs? I would have to get onto I 94 near Port Huron to get a clear stretch.....in my ZL-1. Which is coming back to Mich. in about a week....

Don’t want to try the Motive round universal one I linked? You could probably switch to a rubber strap to hold it down if you don’t like the j hooks.
