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

What's that there Stihl tool thingy?

That was not part of the initial post! Haha. It’s actually my “I’m too old for this $hi+ paddle wheel”. It’s part of my Stihl Kombi system. I actually use it upside down to move rocks back into the road each spring after the snowplow trucks ****** my frontage, and again in the fall after they cut shoulders. It’s also handy each time we get a heavy rain. After a couple good storms I find myself moving a couple hundred pounds of sand and gravel that wash down to the low spot in my driveway. Pretty slick tool. Not for those with a weak core, but sure beat the hell out of a gravel rake or garden rake any day of the week.

For some reason, the 3 years I've had this thing, I put the tow mirrors on it so I could actually see around trailers behind me, and those mirrors have built-in turn signals, and the doors have the turn signal wiring and it also, but there's nothing going from the BCM out to the connector in the door jamb. And I eventually need to figure out where to tap into that so that I only get the turn signal and don't come on when I hit the brakes like a trailer typically does... That's all I could find on either fuse block was wires that would also come on with the brake pedal.

You answered your own question. The turn signals do not also come on when the brake pedal is applied.
You might have to check the wiring in the side mirrors.

So….this just showed up in my mailbox. I was like wtf? Ignition coils? Nope…an eBay seller reusing a trust box for shipping. Creative!

I've had an alert set up with my three closest LKQ yards for about a year, for any GMT900. I finally got a hit this morning, hoping to score some interior trim pieces to experiment with for vinyl wrapping. Here's the pic posted this morning:



By the time I got there, around 2:00, it was already gutted. Engine, transmission, transfer case, door panels and airbags gone. Some of the trim panels were in the back. But the bezel for the center stack was gone. Unfortunately, whoever took the airbag used a reciprocating saw, and nearly cut the dash trim panel in half.

I grabbed it anyway, thinking if I break mine removing it, it's repairable as a spare (plan is to vinyl over the wood). It was only $10. And I can always return it within 90 days if I don't use it.



My favorite find is the center console tray with cup holders for $12. Sure beats the price of a new one at $55. And I hate my Denali one with the stupid doors and no space for anything. I also found a five-button switch panel in case I want to swap it for my three-button one to add something.



Now I have to clean everything. The interior of this smelled of cheap car deodorizer and weed. And the console tray is a petri dish, yuck.

All the GM SUV’s get gutted instantly here too.

Hardly any GMT900s show up around here, either, at the 3 upulls I've frequented. There are two LKQ yards that I need to investigate, though.

Installed the "new" tray today. It's amazing how much crap ends up under this thing. Apparently the previous owner had dogs, and drank a lot of stuff that was sticky.

I saw a tahoe in town that looked like it was the recipient of many of the parts from the local junk yards.

Looked pretty good from a distance, but it was pretty clear it's a work in progress.

Noticed it because the rear opened randomly in traffic, and they held up a green light as they got out to close it.

And i got my valve cover spacers from summit yesterday.
Actually got the right ones!

Last set were the correct pn and description on the packaging as they received from ict billet, but clearly bbc spacers. lol

Ones i got as replacements look to have been on the shelf for a few years, but they are actual ls spacers!

Last night i bonded the new felpro seal to the bottom half of the spacer with some black rtv.

Apparently per the fsm, it's something your supposed to do.

Last time i installed the valve covers, my felpro seals stretched and made life difficult.

Bonding them to the groove in the cover makes oh so much more sense. lol


Anyways, trying to decide if i want to get motivated to pull the valve covers, pull the rockers.
And install the longer pushrods while it's open.

Found my tube of permatex high temp thread sealer.
and an older tube arp high temp thread sealer as a bonus!

(My AFR heads have to have the intake side sealed since they pass through the intake port).


Or option 2
I go check out some junkyards!
I still need an airbag sensor, and i would love to find some arm rests for my bucket seats in the second row...


It's not like my engine makes much noise...
It sure would be nice to put it off for a week or two... lol
