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

[05Single]

A long time ago lol. That's good ol plastidip I was far too lazy to peel all that off just to repaint it. It still looked good

It looks good, I like it.

Good advice. Mine was particularly tough because the upper shaft that the bearing goes on had a gouge that made r&r of the bearing a pita. I'm guessing when I had the intermediate shaft replaced via warranty years ago that gouge was the handiwork of a dealer tech.

Don't buy the dorman bearing. Go OEM. I replaced the steering wheel position sensor at the same time.

Also, if you have adjustable pedals, getting the 10mm nuts back on the accelerator are definitely tests of patience.

Luckily I was able to maneuver the shaft around the adjustable pedal without removing it. Barely but I made it. I’ve heard that about the Dorman. You personally have a problem with one?

These are easy on the eyes. With a full tinit and these on makes for a nice ride. And I'm only using 1st and 3rd row lights and still lights up the inside nicely.

Thanks I'm pretty happy with the over all look of the truck now

Installed Double DIN Sony XAV-AX5000 over the weekend. Also put in a usb connector in place of my cig lighter for a clean look.

Still need to install my backup cam, but unsure of where to get the cable into the truck - don’t want to just drape it over the hatch seal. Saw some vids of people drilling holes in the back, which I’m not super keen on (did buy some rubber grommets and silicone to seal it).

Ah, now I see it in the threads - you can run it through the little crack in the weatherstrip in the middle. That makes sense.

Yes, the design on the Dorman is different and it presented challenges installing. Mine fell apart and I had bearings everywhere. OEM is much better in design for not a whole lot more.

Drilled a hole behind the tail light. Hidden and tucked away from everything.

Installed a new pitman arm and steering box seal kit, idler arm and steering stabilizer and PS pressure hoses. Also changed rear diff fluid and installed a PML diff cover.

Flares look great. I've always been a fan. The OBS and NBS look naked without them imo.

Did they come red originally? I've never noticed them red/maroon before. Are they textured?

Put some wheel spacers on it! Give it a meaner stance.

they came black. and are smooth, factory has that rough texture to them, at least the hd trucks.

i held one up to the truck and hated it, if they were a blacker black it might have worked for me.

this is right after washing with a scotch bright pad and prep spray.

painted, not cleared yet.

got rpo code rattle can paint on line. color is dead on pretty much.

Is that rust on your lower sill?

I was talking about the lower door mouldings. Never noticed the textured ones were any other color then black.
