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

[Rocket Man]

Agreed. I mainly did them because 1. I'm a freak about vehicle maintenance and 2. the great leaking out of the boot was enough for me to justify spending a few bucks and a couple of hours to get it done and out of the way.

Nothing wrong with preventative maintenance. We don’t have to wait till the truck’s wandering all over the road to work on the steering.

I need to my idler and pitman arms. Will be ordering moog replacements. I did both inner/outer tie rods a month ago

I’ve heard the Moog pitman arm is a PIA, too tight. I went with ACDelco for that, Moog Problem Solver idler and bracket and other parts.

2nd time in about 2 weeks that I've gotten these--

And got this one!

I haven't seen this one in awhile. I think since I cleaned the grounds on the ds underneath. I cleared them all and it drove fine. Just really annoying. I read on another thread how the P0220/2135 components usually don't go bad, that it's due to GM using the wrong gauge wiring for those components, which they upgraded in 04.

 

[Rocket Man]

Sucks.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Sucks.

Just annoying as hell--so far.

Thanks to @Sam Harris i got a PN for a possible fit of a new style shark fin to replace the old style on my 02. It fits , just doesn’t plug in ( don’t care since OnStar doesn’t work and I did have to remove a piece of plastic on the new mount part so it would fit in the hole but it looks great and sealed up good. PTM and installed today. PN is 25775201.

Looks great! Speaking of which, I was inexplicably miffed to find out that my OnStar system is no longer compatible with the service. I never renewed after the free trial when I bought my Yukon new from the dealer, but even so I was still a little irked to find out the service was no longer available to me.

You get the REP message and codes while driving or on startup?

We still have onstar in our 2005 Denali

Interesting. There's been a couple of times over the last 5 years where I've pushed the OnStar button, but it just rings and rings and nobody ever answers to talk to me about setting up my account.

And it actually connects to a person? Because everything I’ve read says the NBS Onstar systems are outdated and the entire network changed the type of signal it uses so our antennas and communication modules won’t work.

On startup. Does it make a difference if it happens while driving?
This was only stored, no abs codes.

I still gotta check those front wheel abs sensors.

My wife usually throws that code at me when I take too long in the can.

Water tested the new shark fin via a good wash.

Welp I have not called anyone from it in years but my wife gets the onstar report (tire pressure oil chg, etc) so I ASSumed it was all working like it used to...

Not sure if it makes a difference, was just curious. After random REP issue with my Tahoe for 2 years while driving, I happened to pinpoint the issue to the 16pin connector on the Tac module. Replaced that connector and issue went away for 2 years. Then all the sudden started getting REP on startup like you are about twice a week sometimes more when it was hot outside. Never again got it while driving. Chased the issue for about 2 years cleaning grounds, adding grounds, etc. Never fixed it. Was the main reason I sold it so cheap, because couldn’t in my right mind pawn that off on someone. Fortunately new owner just wanted a truck to play around with and said he was ok with trying to figure it out.

So i saw this also! What gives with that!?! Anyone else with input and experience on the moog pitman??

Pretty confident this is the one I have. Unfortunately, I’m not the one who replaced it, my mechanic did. He didn’t seem to have any trouble with it, and
My steering is tight AF now. [emoji16][emoji106][emoji631][emoji631]
