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

[Rocket Man]

We got around 16"-18" of snow, I got to test out the NV149 AWD case the 06 SD has and all I can say is WOW! It had no trouble plowing out of all the snow behind it, and I was driving through spots up over the fog lights. This truck is awesome in deep snow!! It has Michelin Defenders in it and they have great bite in snow! I can't decide if I like the SD in the snow more than my 09 6.2 Tahoe in the snow, lol. They both exceeded my expectations in the snow today. Colorado roads were in pretty bad shape today.

Awesome! My Denali AWD with that same TC does great in the snow too.

Why on Earth did they stop using them?! Lol

From my experience now, I'd buy used calipers with brackets from a fresh (2017-2019) Tahoe/Silverado/Escalade off eBay. You'll get OEM quality for around $100 each.

Btw, 2017 brakes will fit 2001. Here is a guy doing exactly that:

Interesting. What size are those rotors? I’ll bet I’d need larger than 18’s to clear them.

Sounds like a vent solenoid. The problems with the fueling probably related too, but there are some gas stations that just got too much flow. I don't have fueling problems anywhere, but Costco. So, at Costco gas station I just put in the fueling gun at an angle, so the seal is not sealing, and it does the trick. Greenpeace is upset :-(

Code has not returned.....yet. I replaced the vent and purge solenoid recently. <18 months. Doesn't mean it hasn't failed, just mean less likely. I have never replaced the canister until now. I filled on Saturday evening with success, so fingers crossed. If the code returns, the sensors are so inexpensive, I will just get one of each.

I’ll be going up (level) not down. As much as I love the way they look low, since it’s my DD and I’m in Colorado, can’t lower it.

I’m lowered on 22s in AK. But I make it work

I have this issue intermittently. Drives the wife nuts. One of these days I'll mess with it...

Same as the gmt900 iirc

Stock 2017 rotors. they are 13" according to rockauto. same 2007-2019

18" rims will clear them no problems

Sounds like you got it.

Saw a 2007 at the junk yard yesterday. Going back today to get the front brakes/calipers.

Also saw a 2005 Tahoe with electric fan and harness intact. Will pull that also.

Can never have enough extra parts.

Probably my last trip to the yard until spring, snowed last nite and I think this will stick around ( not melt ).

Get the caliper mounting brackets too.

Nice! Jelly. I want all those parts! [emoji16][emoji106]

Filled a chip in the windshield. Wish I would have bought 2 kits because I found another chip that was hiding behind the rear view mirror. That will get filled next week.

Which kit did you get?

 

[live2pull]

Went with the Permatex kit as that is what Vatozone had on the shelf. My first time using it and could not be simpler, and chip is all but invisible now.

Pics? Before and after would be best.

 

[live2pull]

I ordered another kit from Amazon since its $5 cheaper than the zone, I will post pics next week when I fill the second one.

Awesome, thanks. I have always paid a shop to do it but that’s like $40-50.

I have never had to pay to get a chip fixed in my windshield. I guess I’ve always had an insurance policy that would cover the full cost of fixing a chip. If I’ve had to replace a windshield, however, I’ve had to pay for it as the cost is usually equal to or just slightly higher than my deductible and not worth filing a claim at all.
