No the screws have like a 1/4" shoulder on them so they would not sit flush if I tried that, I just covered the blind nuts with dabs of clear silicone adhesive for now.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

I, as well, thought fuel pressure issue at first. Although clogged cat(s) present very similar symptoms as a weak fuel supply, I'm leaning away from clogged cat since you said it "just hit out of no where".
My next guesses are faulty crank sensor or throttle position sensor. Reading a freeze frame for the DTC or even live data would keep you from throwing unnecessary parts at it.
So this appears to be relatively new, what the hell would cause this? Visually everything looks ok underneath. I'm thinking rear control arms or panhard bar but both look ok. Am I bending corners to hard or WTH?

They sell flat headed machined screws at Lowes or HD.

I had to ask cuz I wanna remove mine but not until I know how I wanna plug the holes. I was gonna reuse the screws, but now that I know about the shoulders...
My current plan of action is to use socket-head set screws with thread adhesive sealant and some plastic caps painted body color. I'd probably use a mild adhesive to secure the caps. I'd use a butyl-based adhesive cuz silicone can corrode bare metal.
Maybe something like this:

You need a stiffer sidewall for those 80mph turns Wes!
You think that's what it is the tires? the wear looks kind of new, rubs on the sides of the control arms also (right where the tire is), but I would think I would be hitting the bump stops before the tire would expand that much, no signs the bump stop have been wearing or even bottoming out. there is 1.5" between the tires and the rub marks
Slow down wes, and stop carrying so many kids, weight in the back and slow down wes and down down wes
Ps slow down wes
Pss slow down wes and stop hitting street signs

Looks fine to me. Just knocked the dust off is all. If the plastic was getting chewed, then I'd say it's worth digging deeper. Rubbin' is racin'! ...Well, I guess that's not the rubbin' they're referring to. And you're not bending corners too hard. "TOO" hard means you lost control.
Is the plastic in those areas flexible? I mean, I know it's flexible, but does it feel like wind turbulence underneath the car could be bending it outward, closer to the tire and you taking corners at speed rolling the body lower on the outside coupled with the sidewall rolling inward allow the light contact?

Just saw this response. Hitting the control arms is a bit more extreme.
Mount a GoPro where you can watch the sidewall flex and go for one of your spirited drives. Then post a reaction vid of you watching your footage.
Seems to be rubbing more on the right passenger side then the left, there is a hint of rubbing on the upper control arms of both sides
when I had my blow out on the right rear side (not that long ago) that would explain away the right side having more rub marks, but the left having some doesn't make any sense
i'm just wondering because I look under my truck about once a month to check for leaks and broken or missing stuff, I may not have noticed this before but it sure looks fresh
the ass end has been feeling a little different for a little while now I exchanged the air pump a couple months ago because I thought maybe it wasn't blowing up the shocks every time, I went and felt the bladders earlier and they were empty, it had been sitting since last night and they filled up good when I started it up and now that it has sat for about an hour they are empty again seems like they should still have some air in them? not sure seems like they held air longer before after sitting parked

Mine came out of nowhere and then progressively got worse over time.
Just looks like you had a bit of weight in it and cornered a bit hard. There is side-to-side movement which can be increased substantially with the above mentioned factors, so slow down on the corners if you’re worried. Or unload the bundles of *******. Or both.

Wonder if he stuck that new fridge in it.
HAHA, I could have (maybe) with the seats down and my sub box out, but I used the pickup
I jumped up and down on it, rocked it back and forth, wiggled the wheels hard as I could and neither gets it anywhere near rubbing, just strange I could see it happening on the front which is typical if running larger tires but the rear doing it just makes no sense to me
Hey I thought the same thing on my bagged Silverado when I got my new $6000 billet wheels that had a slightly different offset than what I ordered. I pushed and shook and had all kinds of room. Then I went for a drive and promptly scraped both lips on the fenders after going around a couple corners. Believe me, there’s no way you can simulate 4000 lbs ( or whatever our rigs weigh) of force being tossed sideways from g forces.
Edit: if you look at what keeps the suspension centered side to side you’ll see it can move. That’s where (anti) sway bars help but even the biggest can’t stop it completely.
Especially if you’re trying to outrun the federales with a ton of ******* in the back. Just sayin.
