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

[mals]

Today I started with a bottom button because that's where the lights were out. After I messed the harness all up, I decided to pull the airbag to see if it would give me more slack. It didn't make a difference. I adjusted my method a bit for the other side and it was no problem. Still pretty tricky, but done quite quickly with no damage.

I removed mine without needing to pull the airbag, but when it came time to reinstall, the lower two were just too short to get them in the sockets. I tried the needle nose trick, but they were still way down in the well. I popped the airbag, and while it was off I pulled all four harnesses back into the center of the steering wheel and re-routed them all in a more direct path that gave me plenty of slack at each location. I figured that way the next time I (or someone else) needs to do it the process will be much easier.

Got some maintenance out of the way, intake & valley cover gaskets, knock sensors & harness, oil pressure sensor, both serpentine belts & tensioner, oil change, last of the coolant hoses, should be good for awhile now

That's a lot of maintenance. Good job!

Cut apart the lower dash to install a few 52mm gauges and rocker switches...had to heat up the flat abs plastic piece I cut out with a heat gun to get it to fit just right(not fun)... Didn't get to finish thanks to the damn snow but everything will be wrapped in 4m carbon fiber once completed.

Before the drop with 17's, average fender to ground was 35" at all 4 corners, with 2/3 drop and 17's , average is 33" at all 4 corners. I still need to put the 22's on, which I checked the diameter compared to the 17's, and it's actually dead on.

Lol, soon. It wasn't bad on local roads, not harsh or anything, I'm hoping it's a much better handling ride without swaying. Caught me off guard today driving on the Pkwy. I'm still not finished with the suspension. The new keys didn't look much different from the stockers.

Those 2 pics there don't look like 33 inches front and back from ground to fender

I think it's just the angle that I took the pics. I did measure from fender lip to ground.

I'm wondering why they weren't able to get the front camber or caster within specs. In fact the front left caster was within specs before they touched it, and way out of spec after. Maybe it's because it's dropped using keys instead of spindles? Mine (with drop spindles) is within specs all around although caster on the front right is 5.4 which is at the far end. Yours is out on all 4 camber/ caster specs. Did you ask them wtf?

One is reverse Led cubes. Old switch bracket broke. It used to be between obd2 and park release. And I'm about to do a light bar in the grill so I went ahead and added it's switch. It will be wired on a relay to my Fleece Performance All High fuse chip and come on manually via switch or auto on when I hit the flash highs.

That will light em up. Need the train horn tied in there with the Fleece all on. Lol

Check shorts would be result.
