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

[TheAutumnWind]

I used led strips they worked out great nice even light

What color? Ive been procrastinating doing this forever...

 

[TheAutumnWind]

Finally got the alignment fixed. Asked them to dial in some extra positive caster based on some things that i had read which of course they didnt mess with. Still Big improvement.

Anyway to increase that? Spacers or something?

Toe and go alignment shops are terrible. I go to a frame shop to get mine aligned. Tire shop alignments are for chumps.

Haven’t had much time to do crap to the ol girl lately but one thing that had to get done was replace the audio jack for my phone that’s tapped into my XM receiver. Came across a pair of skull candy blue tooth headphones I though I lost and thought what the hell... well it flippin worked. I successfully hooked the Bluetooth up to the XM receiver. Now I have blue tooth in my hoe. Works like a charm and couldn’t be happier!

Had it towed home for a no-crank issue. Now lets play guess the wiring issue. Yay.

Anymore details? Anything else you notice or is all normal just no crank? Would a smack to the starter be a good check here?

Do have more detailed photos of the led strips installed, I need to do something about mine ASAP.

And I finally got to wash it and since I was at it I polished the grille, bumper, and the headlights.

375/65r16s
16x10s
1.25” front spacers
2” rear spacers

You helped me decide to go that way, we talked about your setup and the whole tire poke thing, running 15 wides on 9” runs. I still want the old school 18x12s w/ 33x15.50s. Closest I’ve found is custom 16x16 wheels and swamped 35/16r16s

Probably grounds. Id start there.

Crap i have to do my oil cooler lines now. They are definitely weeping and seem to be leaking @ the connection to the block. Any tips?


I've been noticing a a leak so I bypassed the rad for the transmission lines (got rid of the leaking fittings and crimps) and found out my oil cooler lines and transmission pan gasket are also leaking. Not very happy.

View attachment 212403

*Well shit. Not a fan of the bypass. Temps are higher even with ambients in the 65* range it just takes much longer to get it up to temp. * My trans cooler is much bigger and thicker than stock too...

I know the pt.net guys run big stalls with a trukool 40k so i figured id be ok. Damnit. Ill have to undelete the rad soon.


Edit: might be ok actually. Turned out it was leaking once it got up to temp bc i had a clamp that was not tight enough.

Nice, I’ll have to look them up.

That’s how it looks in the sun, I need to get more pics like that.

I’ve got the Cognito idler pivot assembly upgrade, Cognito heim joint tie-rods, RedHead HD Steering box, and I put new AC Delco pitman and idler arms on when we did the lift.

I don’t have a good photo of the idler assembly and center or the gear box, O have to grab some tomorrow and put them in my build thread, here you can see tie-rods.
