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

Moog self lube bushing for me no problems so far 2 or 3 years. Stock suspension though.

 

[Rocket Man]

I’ve had the Energy Suspension ones on 2-3 years, no problems. I’m lowered 2/4.

Wish I would just do mine since it’s so cheap, but the little bolts that hold them on might disintegrate.

Removed the leaking ICT billet oil cooler blockoff plate, cleaned surfaces, reinstalled OE blockoff plate with a Fel-pro gasket and some gasket sealer. Done, and not leaking. Took her for a drive!

Put the Tech 2 on, but couldn't really find much. I found a bunch of 4wd/transfer case stored codes in the history, and while looking the reduced engine power popped up 2-3 times. I couldn't reset it using the Tech 2 so I had to use my regular scanner for that. I looked all around, even in special functions and found nothing. I was able to cycle the abs.module on/off quite a few times--so maybe that rules out that module. So, nothing new to report.

Forgot to add this---this was while I was in park--

This is what my regular scanner says it is. I was having an issue with the abs giving me intermittent issues prior, saying it was the left front sensor. I did the front pads maybe a month ago, and swapped in a new sensor. Now it's been lit ever since. I haven't had time to swap it around--i saved the old one.

Btw--that left front sensor is brand new, so that's weird.

Not sure if it helps but a long time ago I had a single abs light on for a sensor code, I replaced just the sensors and was still there. Replacing the wheel bearings solved the issue.

You replaced the hubs?

The air I'm hearing sounds normal to me. Does anyone think it's excessive?

I just went to the garage and did the same test (key out, engine off) and it was the same as your video.

 

[clandr1]

My steering wheel is looking pretty rough, plus about half or more of the bulbs on the controls are burned out, so I ordered a new OEM steering wheel (new controls included) from Summit for $190 shipped (plus tax). Should be a relatively straightforward R&R based on a couple of youtube videos I've watched.

Thx for checking it out. I thought it was normal.

 

[Redfire Metallic]

Just hit 190k today on my 03 Tahoe!!!

With help of a mechanic friend yes he called that problem out on the spot and it worked. Timkins have been fine ever since

 

[blueinkd]

New ambient air temp just cause.

went out to the boneyard and grabbed a few things for the 05 got a window motor, and all the parts for the rear wiper/hatch switch and front control, a rail for the roof rack and found a nice remaned steering box after I fought trying to get a different one out and had put it to the side, walked 2 rows over and found the remaned one already pretty much ready to pluck. swapped the window motor over and fixed that, swapped the roof rack rail on the old one was bent, the rear wiper had got stuck in the up position the other night but I messed around with the hatch and got it to go back to park, the front control switch felt funky so I replaced that first and the dam wiper decided to start working again even when I put the old switch back in, I think the issue is the hatch lock sensor it let me open the rear hatch glass when the wiper was up the other night and it shouldn't so I have all the parts for when it screws up again and the wiper motor. Front end needs to be rebuilt so the steering box was a nice score the existing one is leaking.

Spent 20 minutes cleaning throttle body and emptying can of sea foam in for a heak soak.Put the other can in gas tank.Next oil change i will run it threw the engine oil before i change it.Definitely smoother idle than i had.

How did you get it in for the heat soak? Pour it through the throttle body?

What's heat soak?? I poured some seafoam in the gas tank just for good measure.

 

[corvette744]

The heat soak is done with the spray bottle i will post the link.After driving about 20 miles today i can feel a nice difference in the throttle response and it just runs alot smoother at all rpms. She is going to smoke when first started but goes away pretty quick.

 

[mountie]

Does Seafoam really work? I hear a very slight 'tick', but it doesn't seem to worry me.
