What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[SunlitComet]

Wow. Thought they stopped selling them a long while ago. Not even listed on their site anymore. How did you find them exactly. Very happy with mine. Even spent $250 to have them ceramic coated in San Francisco.

Had the truck warming up while I salted the driveway and it died and won't start. Cranks doesn't turn over. Based on the lack of the tell tale whistle my fuel pump has been making I am pretty sure my fuel pump shit the bed finally. So it looks like my next project is going to be the fuel pump. When I get home I'm going to change the fuel pump relay just in case for once I got lucky.

Try wiggling the relay in the socket as well to see if that does something.

Wound up working late so didn't have a chance to screw with it. In the morning I'll try that and see what happens

I'll be damned.

Still around.

ALERT! ALERT! ALERT!

To everyone who wanted them before better grab them before they are gone again. I personally highly recommend them.

Here is the idea I use. I would pull the components or buy them based on a burb of the same year but built with a hydro setup. You would get the pump (the one you linked looks good.) booster, MC, and related hydraulic lines for the ps system. Brake lines and wheel cylinder would stay the same. As for the Evo most people just put on a bypass piece on the pump for it. However if it is found that the Evo of the burb setup has the same part number as yours then it should continue to work just fine. The abs should function normally. Because the pressure in the brake lines is much stronger I would replace any flexible hose that shows any signs of cracks on the rubber material. I f they look fine then you can continue to use them. I had someone get me a junkyard booster to use but it had a piston seal leak so I used it as a core to get a cardone unit from a parts store.

Should also note that the hose from the pump to booster part number is dependent on weather or not the EVO valve on pump stays in place. Either setup runs the line either forward first or backwards first before heading to the booster. And a fluid cooler is required to prevent fluid damage from heat. I grabbed mine from a 3/4 ton burb.

My tranny has been having personal issues in the last few months. Went out a few days ago to get the fluid and filter changed due to nastiness and while still park in the hotel parking lot idling something broke and I lost all fluid pressure in it. After being towed from the first shop and almost a second one I left at another nearby here. Converter is still moving they say but no pump pressure at all so no drive power. Dropped the pan to see ugly fluid and the magnet is piled with mush that is all fine grain. Based on this a patch job is possible depending on what they see in the first clutch pack. But I need it to last a little while longer and still don't know what made the pump break. I am possibly looking at a used tranny for a $950 switch out or $150 to rebuild this one again. 12/2011 cost me $2500 and did not get 50k out of it. And apparently not upgrade fixes either despite being told it did. Still get random P1870's and hard 1-2 shifts. Broke as it is and have to move to Victorville this week for a another job assignment. Expected it to last at least 100k so it would give me time to switch to a ht383e block and 4l80e tranny to accommodate a Whipple later on.

@SunlitComet: Ok, sounds good. I have my laundry list almost done and suppliers identified. Here is the link I found on Amazon for a Universal PS oil cooler. What do you think about it? Or is there something better I could get?

Use the oem. http://www.amazon.com/General-Motors-COOLER-26041420/dp/B008Y9GIKK





If you want to bypass the evo you can use GM #19168825 but I believe this makes the hose part number change again.

BTW your booster looks will vary.
