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

[Rocket Man]

Finally got enough clear weather, and snow melted, to wash and do half a detail today. Ahh.. better. Sorry for the crappy pictures.

Looking good Sam! It’s been raining for a week here with another to go. Nothing but fronts coming in from the Pacific one after another. Mines dirty af.

Thanks Mark! Yeah, she was a dirty girl for a couple weeks. Hate leaving that crap on her. So nice to get cleaned up!

PO must have lightly backed into something and broke the end off the bottom step pad. Put a new one on today.

Also had to give it a wash since it was 60 degrees. Finished drying right at dark. No pics.

Looks like they didn’t dent the bumper though?

Just one kind of “scratch mark” right above where the stepdad ends on the right side. Not noticeable unless your right up on it.

Installed new inner and outer tie rods and got alignment rechecked at Firestone. Wanted to make sure it was within spec after I messed with keys a bit.

How difficult was it to change this out? I have a brand new in the box and havent gotten around to changing it out.

 

[mwilson62000]

Honestly, it was a little harder than I anticipated getting the new one snapped in completely. I was able to remove the old one pretty easily, getting a small screwdriver tucked in right beside each tab, then pulling hard with my hands. I found when installing the new one, try to make the tabs come in from above the slot angling down, then most did click in place. The 3rd one from the ends right where the bumper bends in towards the license plate lights were the worse. One I ended up covering with a microfiber towel and hitting with a rubber mallet.

I always mark the tab locations on the top of whatever piece I’m installing with a grease pencil so I know where they are. That way you know that’s the place to push on or if it doesn’t want to go on, the place to slide something underneath to help it line up. It’s just handy to know the exact location of each tab so you’re not guessing.

Great idea!

I know I’m doing incandescent because on an 02 the circuits are a mess of polarities, making it confusing as f to try to solder in led bulbs. That’s why nobody does the 99-02’s. Otherwise I would have done blue leds long ago. I tried converting some extra hvac controls I had laying around and gave up, and I’m pretty good at that stuff. In 03 they changed and it’s easy to figure out.

Sweet talk @Thatsquishykid717 to helping you out. He’s got the 02 stuff dialed in.

Meh. I looked into it and to me it’s not worth it. I already ruined a couple spare assemblies trying to install leds. I have other things I’d rather do. I don’t drive enough at night to be worth it. I just want all the lights working with the least amount of work. Lazy ass mofo haha.

These specs look ok after new tie rods???

They’re all green / in spec, so yes! [emoji106][emoji16][emoji631]

 

[blueinkd]

Well I figured that. Was just wondering if there was more they could work on.

The weather finally cooperated so I took advantage and washed it along with my Silverado today. How’s it look @Sam Harris ? And I was able to drive the Silvy to do my grocery shopping today too. It’s been raining the previous two Sundays so it sat.
