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

[Knope]

New muffler and tip installed. Pics to be updated in "Under Construction" post

purchased some weather tech floor-mats, cleaned up and polished up my headlights with 3m Headlight restore and took some air out of my tires, because the dealership I bought the hoe from had them way overinflated. Everyday I try to fix something small until I can get my lift and tires on. I think an alternator is in order next week, and my CB radio maybe tomorrow.

FINALLY installed the stuff I've been kicking around in the garage to do my '07-+ front brake upgrade for the last year and I gotta say it is indeed an upgrade from the '00-06 setup on our trucks. Not night and day but I actually feel like my front brakes actually do something for a change when I stomp on the front brakes. I am for sure going to start collecting parts to do the hydroboost upgrade which I'm sure will completely change the way this heavy rig stops once and for all! All in all, I'm pretty happy!

Just done cleaning the air filter and TB.

Ordered a cowl hood but it's gonna be a couple weeks before I get it, then it needs to be painted. I have zero patience dammit.

 

[Fosscore]

Going to look real mean once installed!!

Had the beast towed home, after getting broadsided while going through an intersection. I guess a red light doesn't mean STOP to some people. Hit me on the passenger side, fast enough to spin me almost 180* and shift my whole rear end over about 3", tearing my frame in the process.

Thankfully nobody was hurt, waiting for an insurance adjuster to call me tomorrow, so my company can go after hers for the loss of my vehicle, and some of the contents.

But on a brighter note.... have found TWO Yukon XL's nearby. One is an '01 2500 with only 110K on it, they are asking $4900, but I'm sure cash talks (private seller). http://syracuse.craigslist.org/cto/5713784048.html
The other is an '04, but with 180K on it, but at a lesser $3995 (dealer listing).

Glad all safe. Bummer about the truck but replaceable. Must have been hauling some ass.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Glad you're safe . I'd go for the 01, looks so much cleaner then the 04.

 

[Rocket Man]

Thankfully you were in a rig that could protect you. Most other vehicles out there might have let you get hurt. And I agree with @Tonyrodz about the '01, and you can't go wrong with 70,000 fewer miles.

 

[Countryboy07]

Just an FYI... That '01 a 1500, not a 2500. But I'd go with the '01 over the '04 as well

Does that mean it's a 2wd? How can you tell? It doesn't have a 1500 badge on it. I've wondered what the numbers meant for the NBS body style.

1. Suspension - 2500's sit higher due to the 3/4 ton suspension

2. Wheels - those wheels are 6 lug, if it were a 2500, they would be 8 lug.

Oh, and in picture nine you can see the four-wheel-drive selector switch.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Thx. I saw a Suburban yesterday and it had a badge on the ds door that said 1500. Never noticed that before.

1500, 2500, 3500, 150, 250, 350, ect have no meaning to the numbers. It's just to denote capacity. 1500/150 are called half tons, and can carry some weight and tow small trailers. Ay one time half tons could only carry a half ton but modern vehicles carry more. These are light duty SUV's and trucks. 2500/250 are heavy duty pickups and suv's,or light to medium duty trucks. Also called three quarter tons, these have beefier frames, stiffer suspension, and larger towing and hauling capacities. A heavy duty diesel is an option in many 3/4 ton trucks.
3500/350's are called one tons. These have a higher weight rating, and can tow much more. Frequently 3500's are dual rear wheel. 3500's are always pickups.

Four wheel drive is an option on every truck or suv, regardless of classification.

Installed my esky shifter. I was a little concerned it was going to look weird with the gray looking leather, but it looks nice with the denali dash bezel.

How can you tell the wheels are 6 lug? I looked closely and the pictures too blurry with the center caps installed for me to tell.

Those wheels were never offered in an 8 lug

I was going to say something about this too but didn't want to be "that guy" haha.

This... those are the 6 lug 16" gmc wheels offered from 99-02.

Also if it was a 2500 more than likely would have had "PYO" wheels on it.

And thx too. That actually cleared it up for me.
