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

Today's episode of TemuforTahoe features a new liftgate handle switch as well as some goodies

Spoiler: Cheap stuff hooray

After disassembly I noticed the switch had been disconnected all along. First install left me disappointed, but some WD40 contact cleaner resolved the issue. Works like a charm! Identical piece for about 9 bucks.
Side note; those 4 nuts and bolts for the handle are absolute genius! Washer and nut pressed as one piece with the washer still spinning freely. Also the bolt tip was designed as a torx head, most likely an anti overtorque feature. Very clever.

Window switch is 100% possible to replace from the outside even though I had the interior panel removed because of the other switch. Works perfectly, about 5 bucks.

And an air freshener for good measure.

Stay tuned for the next episode where I start messing around with parking sensors.

How dare you!

Sez the guy with his car in the shop for a heart transplant. Did you go make sure they're working today?

can't hurt anything I guess. don't know how I'd judge if it did anything haha. View attachment 443613

I ran that for a cycle before yanking out my 5.3, so I can't speak to it's effectiveness. That 5.3 engine, with about 180k on it, consumed some oil and always came out dark after 4-5k oil change intervals along with running a catch can.

There's an interesting video about that oil on Lake Speed Jr.'s YouTube channel. It can't hurt the engine, so I say go for it. I'd probably run it now, but I still don't have 5k miles on the rebuilt 6.0.
