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

Put new tail lights in

I had those on my Denali and went through a ton of LED bulbs until I found some on eBay that filled the lens pretty good with light. Those funnel like reflectors seem to help pretty good. Thought this might save you some time!

^^Thanks. I appreciate it. I actually took the lights out and put the stockers back in today because of the dimness during the day. Was going to start my search for some brighter bulbs.

IDK about yall but I hate side post battery terminals more than I hate the chaffing you get from walking too much in wet undies. Stumbled upon this product on another forum and thought some people may like to see it. I think This is in my near future along with a big 3 upgrade.

No way am I having that much positive post exposed. I can short out my side post, hate to see a dropped wrench on that piece of metal as it welds itself to the fender.

Your right I didn't think of that at first. I'd love to find something similar but with caps or covers over the top.

That’s the first thing I thought of. If it had a cover over the terminal, it would be better. Still a shitload of real estate that’s a hazard.

Maybe a cover to go over the entire battery, I usually use a grypmat for my tools and put it directly on the battery which works well and shields it.

Yeah I love the look of those lights but it is a flawed design. The reflectors should arc behind each bulb...not one big arc behind both the turn signal and tail/turn light. I bet I went through about 5 pairs of different LED's bulbs until I landed on those.

Trans fluid drain and filter change. Hate that job!
Dipped the chrome around rear GMC emblem and the Yukon XL emblems. Working on front emblem now. Tried the Luxury Metal Black Sapphire dip, then glossifier. Not much difference than normal black, maybe a little more “metallic” looking.

It’s the subtle things that really pop (mainly to us who know but still LOL )

I replaced the rear climate control aspirator, not fun.
Remove C and D pillar trim, coat hooks, trim across the rear at the gate. Removed the three push in retainers.
Working through the hole the aspirator was installed in I removed the wire then working with the headliner pulled down from the rear.
Then put the new one in, tricky attaching the wire, my arms should have been 4 inches longer or had a helper.
First I tried to reach through the dome lights to do this but that was a fail. Then I got my GM manuals out, they did not say to remove the D pillar trim and wanted you to work from the rear door opening after releasing the ductwork from the velcro, mine wouldn't release...plan "B" D pillar removal.

I need to do that also. Rear one is buzzing. Blew it out with air, but still doing it.

Same. Just noticed mine buzzing. :/

Installed the NNBS shifter. Thought I could pull the pins out and reuse the existing connector....ended up have to cut/solder. I didn't bend mine as I don't have a vise. Mistake, it sits real low. Will do another day but I hate that effing clamshell....such a PITA.

Yeah I hate that clamshell too. It never wants to go back together right.

I know this has been discussed since the beginning of time. Only thing I can't find a good answer or a good thread about it. But what is the best option to add the puddle lights on an 99-02. I have tried connecting to the door courtesy lamp and also using the ground from the mirror harness and running one wire to the courtesy lamp. Still can't get it to work, I can get it to turn on but the lamp will not shut off. Any thoughts?????

Even after you close the door and inside lights go out?

It has to go out when the courtesy light goes out or else you’re not connecting to it. Ground it to one of the grounds in the door harness, connect the power lead to the power lead of a courtesy light and it will go on and off with the courtesy lights.

Yes even after the door is closed it remains lit.
