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

[dkknaebel]

Very nice looking ride!

When I was looking for my first Tahoe/Yukon I was hopping for a 2dr with the barn doors but they just don't exist in my neck of the woods. Then Panda showed up at my local Walmart parking lot for $600 with known issues from a very honest seller. I picked her up and am slowly making her whole again with upgrades planned sprinkled in here and there as I can afford.

If you ever do find a 2 door Hoe with barn doors, avoid the 95 at all costs. There are so many gremlins with it, especially being a change year. But I like your ride, great pick-up at $600. I spent WAY too much on mine and have since spent even more, but I think once she's got her body and paintwork done, I'll be happier.

Looking good!

Thanks Sam. The right lighting and a fresh layer of water make the FrankenBetty look good. LOL

Got a new radio installed today! Now my entire sound system is Sony, and let me tell you, by god is it amazing! In NO way is it a neighborhood thumper with subs and everything, but upgrading the factory speakers. And a new head unit work wonders for me! It’s a Sony XAV-AX1000 with Apple CarPlay! (That was the seller for me) it’s amazing, and super duper easy to install! And didn’t break the bank! About $350 for everything! (Minus the roof speakers-debating on doing them or not...)

Check out @Squirrelsmith build thread for roof speakers that he adapted.

I pulled my blown out roof speakers, planned on upgrading to 6x9’s (haven’t gotten a round tuit)) and you can’t tell they’re gone

Took the old girl out on a nice long drive from Houston to west Texas. She did great, no issues yet.

Did some digging under the dash to find the mixing actuator so I can remove it and put it on cooling instead of heat ...

Found it was already removed and was hiding under the passenger seat.

So I moved the flap to the cool side and found some nice little holes in the air box



So now I get to try and locate a new air box and just get all new components and preinstall them.

But I was able to get the systen cooling better by adding some refrigerant but only the rear benefited... So either my Evaporator or Accumulator up front on the other side of the firewall or both have bought the farm.

It will be nice to ever get past the finding previous stuff broken stage but that may not be until next Decade

Here’s a link to a GM parts catalog where you can get the part numbers. Looks like you might need it. Not sure what the previous owner did to that thing!
