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

[Doubeleive]

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

no, service manual states for the front to raise and support the vehicle, R&R, tighten 17lbs.

Thx Wes.

Yes, it's not done with a torque wrench (according to the Moog instructions). Weight has to be put on it (curb height) and it gets tightened until you can't turn the spacer with a bare hand, then two full turns. That leaves a few threads sticking up above the nut. I don't know about other brands but I cringe when I see an inch or so of threads poking up from the nut. Haynes has a torque spec for them but that's for OE links. I'm sure it depends on the mfr.

View attachment 264174 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.

You need a good clear coat. U-Pol #1 Clear works great. Almost all paint nowadays is 2-part- base and clear.

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]

Diggin that mountain scenery!

Thanks guys! Yeah. Kinda a bummer that he sold the land there. The pics don’t do it justice. Doesn’t make much sense to hold onto it though, being in NoDak now.
It was a good day. Beautiful weather. No wind and temp was 35°, or so, so it was shorts and t-shirt weather while we packed up the truck and trailer, and the kids had fun riding the 4 wheelers. Once the sun started setting, it dropped quickly to 17°. They doubled their $$ on that property in 3 years. The buyer is building a home on it (3.5 acres).

Love that area, beautiful scenery, especially on Hwy 9 north of Fairplay. Or over Boreas Pass to Breck.

It really is. As soon as you get over Kenosha pass, it’s a new world. And that property was just unbelievable. I wish I had better pictures. Site wouldn’t even let me upload the full resolution version.

Much better!

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.

When looking for mine, I found there was a "1st design" and "2nd design" referenced. I went with the 2nd design and they work great. I'm not sure what the 1st design means... If that's for older models, or if the weight lift rating increased. I wish I could be more help.

I have these in my ebay cart but just cant pull the trigger. Where did you get yours from? I heard the light sockets dont stay in well.

 

[mwilson62000]

Got mine from Amazon. No issues when installing the light sockets. They seemed to twist in just as tight as OEM.

I had no issue with the sockets either and have same lights

Same with mine, they're tight, but there's no peg or lock for the socket itself, so the socket can twist all the way around--but they don't pop out.

Made an incredibly dumb mistake of swapping over the banjo bolt on the freshly painted caliper and got brake fluid on it. “Doh!”

Little bit of paint came off, but still looks great! Time to bleed the brakes again and break in the new pads.

I love the color of your ride. You don’t see too many of them that color

I don’t see any missing paint. Looks great.
