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

[mdnitedrftr]

Got my tow mirrors on today.

I need to wire them up and level them still. I'll try to do that after work tomorrow.

screwed up one of my parking light housings trying to pop open on my stepside so guess im gonna upgrade to led ones..

The mirrors are good to go. Watched a vid on YT on where to make my connections so I didn't have to run the wires to the engine compartment.

The turn signal indicators are pretty f'n bright. They will definitely get peoples attention at night!

I had to level them. I couldn't stand them being winged up. You can see the difference in the pics.

Overall I'm very happy with the tow mirrors. I can see my surroundings much better, even if I'm not towing anything. I think it gives the truck a tougher look too.

It is simple, but its a PITA.....if that makes sense.

Getting the right number of washers, getting them in place, shaving down the cap to fit...

It completely changes the look of the truck though.

I haven't watched the video how to level them in a while, how many washers did you use and what size? maybe I'll tackle the mirrors after replacing all 4 door speakers...again

I like it loud brother lol... just an FYI, never buy Rockford Fosgate 6.5'' door speakers...I've blown 8 of them already they suck!

I decided to get the Alpine SPR-60C 6.5'' instead...a little pricey but you get what you pay for

I used 2 washers...couldn't tell you what size. Had them left over from a light fixture I installed at work. They seemed to be a little thicker than most. The leveling vid I watched, the guy used 4-5, so it really depends on what you're working with.

 

[MadDogDelpho]

I used 3 10 mil. washers on each bolt to level mine

Do any of you gets get a ticking noise from behind your dash? I have a video but do I have to upload it to YouTube or can I just attach it like photos? This tiking is driving me crazy. It sounds like a clock is stuck behind my gauge cluster

He did a great job cleaning that up. I just sent him a PM to see if he has another. Although I rebuilt my ls1fans.com harness to be beefier I'm thinking I'd like to use one of those.

I actually have two more harnesses available for sale. One of them has LS1 fan pigtails soldered on in place of the truck fan pigtails. I also got a set of truck fans I'm selling as well. $100 shipped for a harness. $175 plus shipping for the fans and harness together.

I upgraded my tired, old battery:

To a nice new one with a lot more CCA and top posts:

Now I need to clean up the wiring for my accessories.

Here you go. I gave it a quick bath yesterday too

And the last one you can see I desperately need to do something about these seats.

Nice leather seat mod!

Just kidding. IIRC the seat shop has the seat bottoms for $200ish. You probably want new foam too.

Just ordered the smoked headlights and drl's/ turn signals, for an extra $25 I got another set of 6K LED's with the braided fins..

Should be here by the end of next week, will give me plenty of time to pull my grill, and prep and paint it the gunmetal gray I did my wheels with.

I honestly have no idea why some years or models don't have a drain plug. If the newer ones don't have drain plugs then my guess would be that GM decided to just do away with it like they did away with cabin air filters. 75% of the transmission drain plugs seem to get installed too tight or they seize up for some reason. Either way, a LOT end up getting stripped out or rounded off and then you still end up having to drain it by dropping the pan, just like @Rocket Man described. I can definitely say that it honestly doesn't make that much of a difference. I have a drain plug on mine, (that isn't stripped out!) and the pan is still almost half full of fluid when I get the pan off. The drain plug does help, but I still have to keep the front bolts on and loose so I can tilt the pan and let it drain some more before dropping it all the way down

The problem is likely grease monkeys that use a rattle gun to reinstall the drain plug... this is why I change my own fluid!

You can just yank the trans cooler line and run the engine for a few seconds and the trans will pump most of the fluid out. Youll have to drop the pan anyways if you are changing the filter... I plan to install an external filter which filters far better then an internal and is as easy to change as an oil filter... no more pan drops for me.
