    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Put these on - took about an hour lollygagging in no particular rush. The originals show no visual signs of being bad and passed the jump up and down on the bumper test. Man, oh man. They were definitely toast after almost 20 years and 173k miles. She drives so much nicer now. Wife will...

    Maintenance items for the win and the joys of rust free work!

    I brought a piece of cardboard to my dad's when I went to help because I didn't want to leave a massive spot. Now that the cover and main is done, I also can attest how nice it is to park like a normal person. Good job.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Took it for a balance/rotate, alignment, and new spare. That thing is original (2004) and only used once in 2006. Don't want to get stranded with a bum spare. :eek:

    2005 Denali Bose wiring/OEM Nav video input

    Last thread activity was almost 11 years ago, unlikely these folks are still around. What year and model? I can dig out the entertainment pinouts for you.

    Oil in surge tank

    You mentioned no milkshake - did you pull your valve covers and inspect? Also, does the oil fill cap have any moisture in it?

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

    2005 Z71 Full body wiring diagram / replacement harnesses.

    The blue one in your hand (24 pin) looks like the Bose Premium amp connector under the console. Your Tahoe is without Y91 (Bose Luxury, only on Denali/Escalade). Here's all the 2005 Tahoe entertainment connector pinouts from GM SI.
