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

[Tonyrodz]

Popped the grill off to remove the red GMC badge and install the black one, also to get some measurements on the trans cooler area.

Noticed the A-frame that's in frontbof the radiator must be aluminum, my magnet light wouldn't stick to it. It also wouldn't stick on that top core support that runs all the way across behind the headlights and under the plastic cover. It's either aluminum also or has a very thick paint layer on it.

I have a black GMC badge for the rear, but I need to get a 3m magic eraser before I remove that one.

On the gmt800's those pieces are aluminum also.

 

[Rocket Man]

Yep those are aluminum on my 02 and 08.

that might not work for everyone because there is 2 different designs on the gmt900's, one design has a bolted on bracket and the other is a welded on bracket

 

[gooffeyguy]

My bracket has tack welds. It also has the loop holes at the ends where it would be bolted, but no bolts.

I don't have a problem using a dremel to cut the welds, but I'm also looking at just making my own bracket.

If you read the first post on performancetrucks dot net link that was previously posted for the brackets it has directions on how to mount it with the welded version as well as bolted ones.

Those lights look better on the Yukon than the Tahoe. The ones for the Tahoe look really cheap.

Just installed my new front brakes and painted the calipers and brackets. Looks much better and stops good too. Should have took a better pick but I had 2 hours to get it done before dinner! Rocked it!

Put the meats on and went to our local monthly meet at Twin Peaks. I enjoyed two things about tonight. One, it was so nice to get out. With all the $h1t going on in the world.. for 3 hours it was nothing but different ages, different races, different genders, different cars, different builds, different styles... all just hanging out together for one passion. Two, I got a LOT of compliments haha. I have been working on this suspension for a while now, and then the gears, and then this and then that.. before I knew it I hadn't taken it to a meet in almost 6 montbs. It was nice to finally have it sitting at a stage where I could go show it off.

That looks great, love the stance especially on a smaller set of wheels.
What have you done to the suspension anything custom?

Found a deal too good to pass up on these Monday...
View attachment 252617

they arrived today and I am hoping to start the install maybe Friday.

These are fully integrated to my Kenwood HU so I will have full control of them through the touch screen.

Dash cam has collision avoidance and departure delay warnings as well as parking mode and a host of other features.

Rear cam is a multi angle camera that gives you like 4 different views from 1 camera.

The factory backup cam on the Burb has been acting up lately and doesn't always work... sometimes all I get is a black screen or a blue screen but the parking lines are still functional so I know it's not the HU... must be either the camera or the factory wiring.

On a slightly different note...

Does anyone know if there is enough room to get to the one nut behind the rear wiper motor for the rear applique WITHOUT removing the rear wiper motor?

I am wanting to remove the factory camera and install the Kenwood into the OEM bracket but I was hoping to not have to go to the trouble of removing the rear wiper motor if I don't have to.

Sorry to say but you are going to end up pulling the wiper motor...

I don’t think so..

It’s not bad but Yukon does look nicer imo. I’d have to see them in person to really tell.

hmmm I went back and looked at it again. Maybe it’s the black. The Tahoe does look nice. Still hope I see these in person one day.

Thanks for the reply.... not what I was hoping to hear but at least someone responded... lol

I actually found a video where a guy just loosened the bolts securing it to the lift gate a little bit and stuck his hand in one of the holes from the side and was able to remove that nut... so that will be my first approach, hopefully it works, if not it's not that much more to pull the motor.

 

[avalonandl]

I still have those sheets of whatever you want to call it behind the housings. Yours are cut to give you better access. I left mine intact.

The xmas tree clip wouldn't budge....so on the spot modifications were required. Actually in April when passenger Silverstar crapped out.

Drivers side is a whole another matter..uggh

Just be careful when you put the applique back on not to overtighten the nuts... most people crank on them and that's what causes them to snap... you can ask @RichardCranium about this he just put a hatch on his tahoe and had to swap out his applique...

Drove it about 30 minutes away to look at a 2013 Suburban

Went a little further to the RaceTrac for half a tank of E85, then came back home and thought about some things.

 

[wjburken]

then came back home and thought about some things.

So....in other words you came home and took a dump in that recently remodeled bathroom?

lol
I'd hardly call it a remodel! Just added some shelves.

But, no. Blankly stared at the TV and thought about the Suburban I had just looked at.

Long story....

Got in it last night after work, first time driving it since last weekend, to go pick up my daughter from soccer practice, about 5 min away, up a pot hole filled gravel drive. Parked it and waited for 10 with a/c on. Drove home and turned in the gravel before my ‘paved’ driveway and backed in.
As I’m backing up, mind you the radio and a/c are on and I’m talking to my daughter, We both stopped and looked at each other.... what was that? It sounded like I backed over my kids metal scooter..
I know there was nothing on the driveway so I quick popped the windows and cut the a/c pull foward and it sounds worse... metal on metal....back up again and gone.... nothing, no noise, no nothing....
Jacked it up this morning.... nothing..went for gas...nothing.... just drove about 20 miles away to softball game.... nothing

oh well..... such is life.....shit happens

Check the calipers and bracket bolts.
