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

While i had my grille inserts removed, i thought it could use a screen.

I'm sure this will probably cause more problems than it solves, but it's worth a shot...

Not collecting enough dead bugs

Not collecting enough dead bugs

That’s what the radiator is for. But it will be fun cleaning them out of that mesh, that’s for sure.

Around here driving with expired plates is almost the norm. Hell, I see at least a dozen cars every day with expired plates, and not just a couple months expired, but years. It's like a game my wife and I play, who can spot the most expired plate. I'm in the lead with Dec 2018

I get the new stickers but always forget to put it on. When I moved to NH, I pulled my trailer up behind the Tahoe and somewhere in Northern Virginia, I noticed the sticker on the trailer plate was dated Jul2018. Glad the registration was in the console but no issues finishing the trip!

My plate is fine, it's just my inspection sticker (on the lower left corner of the windshield) that expires. You just reminded me that some states, or maybe it's every inspecting state other than Louisiana, ties the plate registration with the inspections. It's two separate things here. Some plates can get a 2- or 4-year registration. Also, depending on the car, you can buy a 2-year inspection sticker. So, for an extra $15, your car can be emissions-compliant and safe (brakes, lights, etc.) for a whole extra year. It's clearly a money racket.

Apparently, as I have recently learned, is the same here. You dont need to have the inspection for registration renewal. All seems clumsy to me but whatever. Still havent done the inspection for the truck-actually, for none of our vehicles.

I was gonna ask if you swapped the cam with the heads on or off and then went “duh” lifters and trays. I’m getting old or haven’t fully woke up yet.

Truck sounds good. What happened that last time?

insert cup o' joe!

Fluid Film will put a stop to any corrosion.

dead bugs, cig butts, leaves, and rock impacts.

should help keep crud from building up in there and clogging everything up.

I also fear that it will freeze up during a snow storm.
Shouldn't matter too much, but only time will tell how it works out.

with the tow package trans cooler bypassed, I also found my condenser is pretty plugged up in that area.

tried blowing it out with compressed air, but it's packed in there!
Finally got the bright idea to use a fine pick to knock it through.

Helped a bit.
I also straightened out a bunch of fins in the front of it.
Lots of impacts!!

I'm surprised my AC worked as good as it did.

Has anyone ever found a part number for the little cooler line retaining clips?
I managed to loose one...


I forgot it fell and took the hoe for a drive during testing, it's gone now.
I also lost a very cheap screw driver.
