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

[Doubeleive]

its wet on both sides of the block. My fleet mechanic looked at it today, he's a GM guy, and he thinks the pan gasket is where i should start.

I did go to install my rear door speakers. what a pain in the ass that turned into. First the back side part of the door panel where the cable release snaps in, the bottom part just snapped off so hopefully my door cable stays attached. then it turns out water had gotten on the speaker terminals, which caused corrosion and that's what shorted the speaker. and the new one doesnt work because of the corrosion. I had to stop there for the day, so i get to take it back apart, and guess im going to hard wire the speaker in now instead of the quick connector since its junk.

after you put new connectors on there put some kind of protection over them to keep the water from making contact, this can range from some kind of gasket material to hot glue to electrical tape

Here's the actual report from the inspection:

I kinda knew the emission stuff wouldn't pass, since I recently did the rear O2 sensors, and apparently haven't driven enough miles/hours to complete the internal readiness tests. The TPMS is dumb, because my winter wheels/tires don't have the sensors. There should be a way to turn that alarm off in the Tech2, yeah??? And I've had 6qts of fresh synthetic and a new filter waiting for the oil change for a while. I think they just looked at the oil change monitor percentage (that I never reset). It's only been 4500-5000 miles since the last change.

I ordered two AC Delco balljoints from Scamazon (I know... I don't care) because they'll get here Saturday, so I have time to rent the tool and maybe buy a pickle fork.

All but one of the monitors passed their internal tests, so I popped back into the shop to show them the new ball joints, and they hooked up the emissions computer to run the state tests, and it all passed.

I have my new sticker, and saved $1000.

Or what about the spray can battery terminal protector red film stuff?

I don't think that stuff is waterproof

i always cover my connections with electrical tape, real nice and tight. same with residential wiring too

this gen of trucks are notorious for holding water in the doors like a swimming pool because the drains get clogged up, I drilled a couple holes in the bottom of mine, one at each end because my driveway has a slight angle so no matter which way I park the rain can drain out.

I get Dorman updates in my email.

That's cool.

Did you know they list the wrong thread pitch for LS cylinder head manifold studs? Ask me how I know.

They may have updated it, but I emailed them to share my disdain. I ended up using studs for a Mustang, and they threaded in perfectly, just a bit longer than I go for if I had to do it over again.
