It's not even December, and there's already so much salt on the roads. FML for the next 5 months.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

As I am building up my "carry kit," I have been thinking of sticking a slime/repair kit & inflator in it, and dropping the weight of the spare - along with the need/desire to match the size of wheels/tires. Maybe once I do the 19+ upgrade....

That's funny, I literally just got home from AutoZone, where I bought a 4-pack of valve-stem cores and a tool to change them out.
And went through the car wash.
I bought this kit 2-3 years ago, I just toss it in whichever vehicle we are road tripping in at the time.
I haven't "had" to use it yet but it seems like decent quality for $29 certainly has "everything"
that and a little "slime" air compressor

I just make sure the spare is properly inflated and the hoist is lubed and operating.
Jacking up and changing a tire on the side of the highway, in the rain, at night is bad enough. Trying to find the puncture and plug it on the side of the highway would suck, and hope the flat is repairable with a plug kit. If the sidewall blows then what? A 50lb spare tire to swap starts looking like a good idea

Dude, i tried unlocking the plug for the spare tire hoist, and the key won't go all the way in. It slides in easy-peasy until the last 10th of an inch, but hits a hard stop and won't turn.
I was trying to drop the spare tire before my buddy undercoated the truck.

spray some wd40 in it
Installed the new Timken left front wheel hub I received last week from Rock Auto, in the '07. Had to work outside in the cold because the LR2 project is still in the garage. Took pics of the old hub but for whatever reason didn't get any pics of the new one. SMH. Anyway, while I was in there I found that the brake rotor is wearing oddly on the inboard side, with entire sections of the rotor apparently not being touched by the pads. Yet, the inboard pad was evenly worn, and about half the thickness of the outboard pad now. I shoulda grabbed a pic of it, but it looks like new calipers, rotors and pads are in my future.

What size is the nut on the end of the shaft. 37 or 38 mm? I've seen both numbers used.
To add to the confusion, I used a 36mm deep impact socket.
