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

[Ilikemtb999]

Replaced my rear liftgate support struts for the second time in 15 years. Holy cow, I forgot that it used to lift up almost by itself! I went with OEM struts this time instead of aftermarket since I found them for about the same cost.

Where’d you find them for a decent price? I could use all 4 out back since the temps have dropped

Removed the T from my bag setup and installed new valves in a better location (hated the junk bracket)

Dang, these look to be for a 2005-6. I have a 2004 and OEM is 15766375/15766376 for left and right and are ~$48/ea.

I wonder what the difference really is? Do they look like they'd work for you?

New drivers leather seat bottom.

 

[Ilikemtb999]

I need to do that eventually. Where’d you pick yours up?

 

[mwilson62000]

Seatshop.com. 2nd one I’ve got from them along with new foam. Factory match perfect and high quality leather.

How hard is the install ? All I need is the drive side bottom and everything will be mint inside for me

It’s not real hard. Watch their videos online first. They explain it really good. It will be a couple hours if you take your time. Once you get the leather on the seat but not attached, flip it upside down like in my pic above. Clip the back first. Have someone help you compress the seat down to get the front stretched enough to fold it over and snap into place. At first you think there is no way it’s going to come up and roll over enough to snap in, but it will.

Put the Escalade appliqués back on after peeling the dip and painting them black. Not quite as shiny as I thought(I’m definitely not a painter). But I think I like the look where they match the color of the window trim.

Have you tried wet sand and buff? Or just a buff. That'll bring out the shine some.

I may give that a try. Thx.

Took a couple hundred mile road trip today to help my buddy move all the stuff off his property. They just sold it since they moved back to North Dakota. Beautiful land, near Fairplay, Co. Had almost 360° mountain view up there.

I was really pleased to get somewhat decent mileage there and back, especially since we were driving in the mountains. I averaged 12.7 on the way up (E-85 mileage..), and 14.3 on the way back. I’ve been a little concerned since my mileage is so bad in town, but it’s just all the stop and go crap. So with 91, I’d be at 15.7 up and 17.3 back. Pretty respectable for a 210k, tuned Yukon I think. [emoji16][emoji106][emoji631]

You tighten it once it's on level ground off the jack?

Wife said washer nozzle appeared clogged.

Turns out the line is busted... Damnit. Sprays fluid all over the battery. Pulled battery to get better look and the tray is all rusty.

Cleaned up and painted battery tray. Didnt fix washer.
