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

[j91z28d1]

I can't do the sides because I can't see at night or in the rain with it. Old fck.

I've found that you can see best at might out of the very expensive cermic tint better than cheaper tint and even the clear cermic takes the edge off in the sun. I have all my front windshield done with the clear.

probably not worth the money in a temp work truck thou.

Did any of the metal connectors rip off of the old wires?

Nope. 148k miles, and from what I can tell, all original.

Vice grips?

I did have to use my needle nose vise grips to wiggle the spark plug socket off one of the new plugs after tightening. Otherwise, I got everything done with a 3/8 drive ratchet and extensions.

I re soldered the connections and re-installed the TPS on WOT. Started up and ran fine. Still took it back down to the shop to have their computer take a look at things. Still afraid to drive it just because of this random revolving limp mode crap. I'm hoping to hell my last efforts here were not in vain.

Looks like Solder Stick splices. You like them?

Yes they are great as long as you have enough wire to slide them down past the connection.. I use a heat gun. Need to order more actually.

Check out LT Tolman on YT. They sponsor him. He has a discount code if you order direct from SS. I see you ordered from Amazon. I haven't compared prices. Just sharing an option.

How do you think it compares to the old school soldering and heat shrink method as far as connection quality and standing the test of time?

I would say it's comparable. Certainly much easier. And it has the waterproofing seals built into it. I am sure you will be hooked once you use them and get used to installing them. It's the tight corners/spaces where this is tough to use. That's why I like that small heat gun I posted that I came across with the deflector shield. That is added to my wish list.

Yeah I hate driving this yellow banana. Sticks out like a sore dck.

But ya can’t beat it…….
