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

[Rocket Man]

Man I wonder if this excuse would work for my wife so I could do a few things to the suburban. It's all @Tonyrodz fault lmao.

On a side note. I had both front hubs replaced last week with some Moog ones. I run the truck in 2wd most of the time. And all the sudden it has started jumping into like neutral. Truck still shows 2wd and if I push auto it has a large clunk and then will drive again. Now he thinks the copper windings I think on the transfer case motor need replaced. Any ideas fellas on what it could be?

2004 Z71 Suburban Green I have a few upgrades done.

It might be the tc control module or the switch itself. Need a good diagnostic tool. Maybe have it diagnosed by a good shop? Who told you it might be the windings?

Got a memory refresher about the crack in the washer fluid reservoir.

It's just marking it's turf.

When did you get this? I thought you had a white Hoe.

 

[treehan77]

Hitch before, after painting, and mounted. Cluster installed.

How'd you get it to not look blue? I had white LEDs put in, but there is a film or something that makes it look blue

My mechanic said it was probably that or one other thing I'm trying to remember what it is. I haven't had any kind of code thrown at all yet.

Wait...you have a blue NBS Denali?

I made a thread on this but I figured I’d get a quicker response here. One tie rod has some play so I need new ones but I’m on a budget so Moog is out of the question because I just graduated college and have no job yet. Anyone have experience with AcDelco advantage series, Mevotech, or Detroit axle tie rods?

Don't get acdelco advantage or Detroit axle. Mevotech makes a budget line and that sucks and a better line and that one is ok

For inner and outer on both sides it would run me about $120, but with no job and not knowing when I’ll get one I’d like to keep as much money in my bank for emergencies. Once I get a job I’m getting a new truck so longevity is not too much of a concern. Just don’t want one that’s going to shear off in 1 month. I won’t be doing any off-road driving either. Its just to get me till about August.
Edit: $200 for both sides on Moogs website

Why replace inner and outer on both sides if only one component is the problem? Replace the one bad component with a quality part. Don't put a bunch of junk in there.

 

[TheAutumnWind]

There is a separate module for the seats, its under the drivers seat. Mine started doing this a year or two ago, and I read that the TSB said don't rewire the switches, that you need to reflash the seat module. I have a Tech2, so I reflashed it and it fixed the problem and so far hasn't returned. Apparently, as parts wear the position sensor can go out of range and it puts the module into an undefined state. To fix it you have to completely reset the module's memory by reloading the software.

Ugh darn. My seat controls have been backwards forever and apparently have stopped functioning altogether. I was hoping to not have to purchase a tech2. I have a pretty good reader the bluedriver bluetooth one so I've never felt the need to get a tech2 before.

Changed out my front Wiper fluid motor. While the truck was up (had to lift the truck to get access to the motor) I took the time to grease the tierods and ball joints and found this....

Looks like I need to get a new axle and possible another control arm.

Does moog have a warranty? Or does it matter if I have ac delco on one side and moog on the other?

Moog r series I'm guessing?

Limped the Hoe into my mechanic today.
Took the long and lest traveled route with as few stops as I could plan.
6 stops not counting the final stop at the shop.
Never got over 30 MPH and down shifted WAY before any stop signs.

Edit:

Another brake line blew so told them to replace all of them to be safe.
There goes the lowering kit money.

What is he replacing with? Nicopp or stainless I hope

 

[Jeff Groves]

Not gonna go stainless. It's a 2001 and lasted this long.
So figure I'm 61 and in 18 years I'll be.....
Probably dead?
Not worth stainless to me.

 

[eand28]

Iirc when I replaced mine stainless wasn’t a whole lot more than the oem replacement ones

 

[Jeff Groves]

To be honest. I just told him to replace the lines. Didn't tell him or ask about stainless.
As long as it's safe for SWMBO to drive until I up her to a million dollar insurance policy?
I'm happy.

 

[Woodblocker55]

I think stainless lines are great selling point in Minnesota .[emoji106][emoji846]

I messaged with the gal at Digital Dash Solutions via email and asked about the LEDs and what they'd look like. My eyes don't see blue all that well at night so I wanted to make sure even the white LEDs wouldn't look blue. She said that the white LEDs they use aren't much different color-wise than regular incandescent bulbs, so I had them put in. Frankly, I can't tell much difference between old and new, which is just fine with me.

Did you get a blue lens? DDS sent me an Esky cluster and the lens was blue. I sent it back, didn’t care for it.
