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

[09Tahoe4Now]

My apologies to everyone for the late reply to my post.

@Tonyrodz its pretty simple. Normal rear tire chocks, jacks, loosen wheel nuts, jack up, jack support...penetrating oil on the old parts to ease removal, one side at a time of course, remove and replace each part as the part removed-torque to factory specs in the air for ease of operation, ride around for a day or so, turn each tire all the way to the left or right(depending on which side you’re looking to tighten down or check if the bolts have loosen up at all. That’s the simple version, if you need a bit more detail let me know.

@Rocket Man they are Mevotech.

@Doubeleive yes, it’s a bit harder but often people don’t tighten enough in the air and they get the rattling and lose some parts or end up jacking it back up for a do over. Either way is fine as long as it’s tightened down correctly.

Should be other more specific codes. I think she's protesting your right foot!

Looked at it since I was in the shop for the first time since Sunday. That's about it. Just walked around it as I went to my work table to make some custom lenses for my sunglasses.

X-ray vision?

 

[trailblazer]

Yeah my sway bar linkswere blown out too on both sides. Makes me wonder exactly how much impact the front sway bars take with these SUV’s. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

I've heard that people have issues with them but my front suspension was completly redone right before I bought it so I didn't have a chance to look at it before I found out about that issue. The sway bars are springs that connect one side of the IFS to the other. So it doesn't really shock me that if you're going offroad or hit a curb or have just terribad roads in your area that the links would have issues- because its a spring that tries to normalize the height difference on one side of the truck with the other side of the truck- and the link is the weakest link in that chain.

I had to replace the sway bar end links on my 2011, they were broke.

I found that the design with the full plastic sleeve caused the metal shaft to rust under the sleeve and get smaller in diameter and brittle. I think that's a poor design. When I replaced them I went with an aftermarket design that just uses washers against the flat stops and bushings. Less area covered up to retain water.

That’s the design of the NBS. I didn’t realize they went to a plastic-sleeved design. Bad decision.

Escalade bumper swap?

 

[Regency]

Yes new. I have the Escalade one on now..just swapping for the dual exhaust setup

 

[NASTY GM]

Some engine cleaning

It was finally a decent temperature here in Colorado, so I was able to clay bar, paint clean, and wax. Of course, as I was wrapping up, it decided to ******* rain. Weather report only gave a 20% chance of rain. Yes, that's rain drops on the rear window...

We went out at sunup to change the oil and rotate the tires. Daughter was complaining about how hot it was already so the good Lord moved a little cloud over top and cooled us off! Course, now all the studs and lug nuts were wet on one side so I put them on a skillet and waited for the rain to stop. Then dried the studs and used a glove to put the lugs on with the tires.

Got to use the new TPMS tool, best $9.07 I've spent! No more letting air out to relearn sensor positions! Used the Tech-2 to activate the procedure with the truck running, fun stuff.

Inner Finish Panel came in today, some schmoe broke the 2nd one the other day while Ubering. Have to figure out how to get it back on right since my little helper who normally does it is at work tonight. Anyone replace theirs yet? This is our 3rd purchase!

First impression with the new ACDelco oil, I've never seen the oil pressure so high, ever! No rattle on cold start either. Will get some numbers tomorrow or next week.

Speaking of oil, I received the GMC Certified Service coupon flyer card thingy in the mail today from the dealer I bought the Denali from and noticed the oil change coupon. 6 qt oil change package, ACDelco Dexos1 Full Synthetic oil, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection for $49.95. Expires 7/15 and I'm due for a change later this month in about 1k miles. Doesn't seem like a bad price, I've been doing my own for years and costs me about $35-40 with Mobil 1 and filter alone.
