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

Carhartt needs to come out with a grey line of products. That color is not really even ok for overalls imo.

I'm not a plastics expert, but rock auto lists them as "rubber" bushings on the Moog arms.
I wanted the red energy suspension sway bar bushings and links, but they weren't the right size for my sway bar, and I was tired of looking at parts.

This is why I don't want just the regular replacement arms. I want that polyurethane kit. I have energy suspension sway bar bushings front/rear what a huge difference!!! Not a single squeak or noise. So unless someone can show me proof as to why I should not buy the kit, I'm going for it. Just adding it to my wish list. I still have parts laying in the garage floor for my 2021 4 piston brake swap!! Hahana

I mean, if nothing else you can take one for the team and try them out. I had a larger energy suspension kit in my cart at first, but I thought my buddy was gonna help, so I tried to make things easier. Hopefully it lasts long enough that I have to do business(edit: bushings, idk how I'm spelling it wrong, but it is autocorrect, lol) again, lol

Oh and today I hunted down some 100k and 500k silicone oil. It didn't really feel like any was going into the air core, and It seemed like the air bubbles weren't coming from inside of the motor but around the syringe. The needles did feel right afterwards, but idk how long that will last. I will probably end up buying new motors.

P.s. did you guys know we have a Wide Open Throttle light? Idk who JUAH is though.

I have one for sure, it doubles as a boost gauge…

Does anyone know if the HD cluster is gonna have my speedo off? Like does gear ratio need to be programmed into it?

I think this is controlled via PCM.

Correct, that adjustment is made via the tune in the PCM. If you have HP Tuners you can adjust it in there. The cluster just displays information.

Finally got the efan conversion done! Also replaced alternator, idler and tensioners for the serpentine and a/c, and new fleetrunner belts for serp and a/c. Running like a champ! Not feeling any seat of the pants difference really, but just drove her home from the shop. Thanks so much to @Fless for sourcing the fans!! I also got a response back from Scotty Boy recently, so will eventually replace the junkyard harness with his cleaned up junkyard version. Hehe.

Nice Sam! Did you do it yourself?

I was finally able to check my oil pressure with a manual gauge. That was an ordeal in itself.......
The oil pressure gauge kit that I purchased has about a dozen different adapters EXCEPT the one for LS engines!! After a quick Google search, it seems many oil gauge manufacturers do NOT include this adapter. Rather than order the needed adapter and wait several MORE days before I can test it, I decided to just make my own adapter by drilling and threading the old oil pressure sensor that I removed from the engine. Other than the cheap Harbor Freight tap handle breaking in the process, this plan worked out great. I was finally able to test my oil pressure once and for all and much to my dismay, the manual gauge reads the same exact pressure as the dash gauge, around 8-10 psi. I just ordered a Melling high volume oil pump abs screen kit, which should be here Monday or Tuesday, along with all the gaskets and seals that will need to be replaced in the process. So, the saga continues.........

Sorry to hear. I hope the pump or o-ring is the issue.

Nice Sam! Did you do it yourself?

I did it with help from my buddy, in his shop. Lol. Even using his lift for the a/c tensioner & belt, my back is an absolute wreck. I had planned to do it all myself, but my back just can’t take anything these days.

 

[Walchit]

Don't use that 100k oil on your Speedo, it doesn't like it. Lol

Sorry to hear, I was hoping it was feeling better. I wanted to give your post a like and a sad lol.

Looking great! One of these days I need to get back out to a Upull or two to see what I can find. A fan conversion would be awesome!

Bought these for nothing.View attachment 352895
The center of the hub separated, but the hub end piece is stuck. Not even budging. Beat it with a mini sledge--no dice. View attachment 352897View attachment 352898View attachment 352899

Axle is out.View attachment 352896
Would heat help to get the back end off the spindle? Any suggestions or ideas to get it off?

Oh man, that blows! I always knock one of the lug studs out and then use a bolt through the stud hole with a nut on the back side to push the hub free. Not gonna work there unfortunately...
