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

[Fubar0715]

Yea that was the only picture of my Vehicle I had saved to the computer, that I easily located.

Plain Jane mobile. I like all the nice finishes - fancy wheels and tires ya'll put on yours. I am too cheap for all that fancy stuff ( to me it's just a truck )

TBH, that is why I went with a SSV-I bought my NBS brand new. Took meticulous care of it which limited me from really using it like a truck. It was well worn when it was retired after getting my current 'HOE.....I have added 20" takeoffs from a Silverado but it is a truck and it is used as such. Seriously, your Yukon looks nice and nothing wrong with it as is.

Now I’m confused. Why have this threaded fitting and the push in? Having both makes another point of failure.

Woo Hoo !

USPS just delivered my Husky WeatherBeater floor mats.

And to think I was disappointed to discover that factory OEM original carpeted replacements were no longer available.

Thanks to everyone here who recommended the Husky brand. They look great and the sharp points on the underside should hold them in place nicely

Price was just $40ish ( smokin' deal ) via Amazon last week.

The radiators used in our trucks are somewhat universal, I think (my theory) is they make the fitting like that so you could use a different sized quick connect and not have to use a whole different radiator. so essentially you could just swap that part in your hand for a different size

That's adapting the OE hard lines to whatever the aftermarket radiator has for the port. You don't have to use that, but then you'd have to change out the stock hard lines to something different that matches the other threads

@RooTBeeRthe1st From your photos, it looks like you trimmed a lip at the top and bottom, plus a relief at the petcock area?

I basically just trimmed the whole thing flush with the top mounting points and the sides. I don't remember trimming the sides at all. Just the top and bottom flanges got removed.
Was it a perfect fit that sealed up, no. Was it close enough for me. Absolutely.
Fans hardly kick on, but when they do it's still drops the temp and better than before.

they could build more reservoirs and dams but that might wipe out some little frog or something bunch of pacifist in this state

There's too many people here already.
Get rid of the people and there won't be such high water and power demands.

So that you can put the factory lines right back in it, or upgrade to fittings of your choice.
I have to assume that's just the easiest way for them to manufacture them, one size fits all.
