What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[swathdiver]

I got my DRLs fixed and changed out my rear diff fluid. Used 75w-140 Lucas full synthetic and a new Fel-Pro gasket. Its a much bigger pain to change the axle fluid on these trucks than it is on my old S10 on the S10 you’re only fighting a sway bar, on these you’ve got the panhard bar and the sway bar in your way- and the spare tire. Oh well. Goter done. Pic attached is the newly functional DRLs.

Drop the spare next time.

@CHOO CHOO - I see both generations running around with one light out quite frquently down here, GMT800/900.

Almost looks like a Mustang Cobra rim.

Yes. Similar to the '94-97 Cobra. I had a '98, which used a more attractive design IMO, similar to the Cobra R. Funny, I thought I'd really like a decladded 5-spoke. But having seen it, I don't so much now. Oh well. Thanks for helping me cross that one off the list.

Do your DRLs seem to go out often? Just curious as mine always seemed to. I just stopped putting them in. I always see our gen Tahoe's and Avalanches with one or both DRLs out.

I've only had the "truck" a month and I only just got around to pulling the bumper off to see why mine weren't on. They were both out so I decided to avoid the burning out issue all together by getting some LED bulbs. The ones in there in the picture are 6000k Sylvania Zevo bulbs. They firmly clicked into the connector, and have decently sized heatsinks. The bulbs say they only pull 6 watts each so I'm gonna bet that these won't burn out like the normal ones do.

Drop the spare next time.

this was with dropping the spare. I wouldn't even attempt to do it without dropping the spare. I just didn't want to get the jack and jackstands out. But yeah, I see them with one or both DRLs out fairly frequently which is why i got the LEDs

Interior modification 1a. Added a bin.

My wife is a teacher... She needs a bin

Wood grain trim kit is on the way to make it match a little better. Will update when it comes in.

I never thought of that. Looks like I have yet another maintenance item added to the list for when I have the panhard off during the lowering process.

How about an organizer tray for the inside of the center console? I know a guy that has one. Pretty sure he'd trade it to you for your decommissioned cup holder insert if the doors aren't broken.

Ordered new front differential brackets a couple weeks ago from rockauto, had them put on today and a rear diff service, the old bracket bushings were pretty shot, seems to have eliminated about 90% of the clunk I was getting when accelerating from a stop or partial stop

FINALLY got the new billets for the Silverado

that were remade with the correct backspacing delivered today. The original order took almost 4 months. The remake due to their mistake took another 6 weeks.

Its really not hard. There's plenty of room to get a 3/8 ratchet and shallow socket behind the panhard bar. With the spare tire down there's plenty of room to do it with the vehicle on the ground. That being said I'm about 167 pounds and 6 foot 4 so if you're not a bean pole you mileage may vary.

One of the best mods I've done to my Denali. So much more functional than just the ash tray and cupholders.

I bought one of those too. Thanks though!

Of course you did!

It's all good. Since it was fresh on his mind, "that guy" found out today that he was able to easily repair the door on his original cup holder with some epoxy and a random, but perfectly-sized screw from his hoard.

Finally got the rear wheels on The Machine today. It was worth the wait.

Looks perfect

The fix for this is to install a 4114 bulb that can handle the voltage spikes. Manual calls for 3157 but GM issued a bulletin to install 4114.

pulled the center dash speaker out again and re-did my foam padding support fix, the foam padding was just loose inside and the speaker was bouncing up and down again so I folded the foam padding wrapped it in tape and then double sided taped it to the bottom of the speaker now it is nice snug again, now the speaker supports the dash instead of the dash supporting the speaker causing it crack more. Also added a positive wire directly from the alternator to the 2nd battery (like the early nbs's are setup), mobile 1 oil change, tire rotation, and got a free car wash.

Busy fellah

 

[Doubeleive]

oh and this

 

[Doubeleive]

I wonder if new plugs and wires might help?, the engine came with new plugs and it has 34k on it, the wires I think are the original @118k, I scanned it the other day with the tech2 and I don't have any misfires, the fuel pressure says 40-44 while running, 70 when I shut it off and have the key on
