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

[DurrtyBurB]

Got this sucker in today. Waiting for the usb/serial adapter to arrive and finish set up. Itching to get these DIC buttons to finally work.

Seems like every time I turn around this old girl has a new issue. Resealed the hydroboost 3 times. Hoping this last time sticks. Replaced power steering pump since the oem one was squealing like a stuck pig due to being ran low on fluid too many times. Replaced leaky water pump that was only 2 years old (Gates brand unit). Now something else is leaking. Damnit.

Battery died for the second time in about 3 weeks. Took battery to Walmart for a free replacement. Done.

Anyone have a battery tester that actually works? I had this little TopDon Chineseum one (Kilmer recommended) and I might as well use my daughters magic 8 ball. It said my battery was good a week ago. It even said to replace my brand new battery, which I charged to 100% when I brought it home. Sending that worthless junk back!

I would like one that works, so MAYBE I can preemptively replace my batteries in the future. If a good digital one doesnt exist, I guess I’ll get a carbon pile one. It’d be nice to have a reliable tester that doesn’t require charging the battery first. $200 or more isn’t worth it for me though…

Power steering pump is the hydro boost pump so where was the leak?

I sealed my hydroboost twice and gave up. I ended up buying a new oem hydroboost.

The rebuild units are a hit and miss.

Replaced both rear AC actuators. Also installed the left over dynamat from when I did the doors on the plastic panel.

Thank you Rene @915_Tahoe for providing me me the correct oem part numbers.

Don’t you wish the ones in the dash are as easy to replace?

I think it's in there, I wish they made red ones. The passanger side was a lot easier without the running board in my way. Bout to cut this other one off too.

 

[Walchit]

Oh, I also got the alignment yesterday, and now they say my steering box, pitman arm and idler arm need replaced. They want 250 plus parts to do it. At this point I'm just gonna drive it, and hope the tires last a little while. That's probably what I should have done in the first place.

Here's the front with 4 different colors of plastic, lol

Those bump stops are realllll fun to replace in the cold on a cup that’s rusted up I went around it with a socket extension to push it up in...been a year and they are still there.

Today I noticed a DRL light out so replaced both, $13 for 2 bulbs and 2 packets of bulb grease at autoZone they like there overhead...also tried out the trico ice wiper blades...fail. Driver side streaked crazy bad like the wiper wasn’t even on the windshield. Swapped passenger side to driver and same thing!?!?. Ended up putting my old trico forces back on and they acted completely fine. Not sure what was going on there. It’s always something

Maybe the new blades just needed some cleaning with an alcohol pad. It helps sometimes.

I used a nut driver. A couple were a little rough, I can imagine that rubber is pretty stiff when it's cold. The old ones seem like foam inside of rubber, idk what these are made of. I probably should have tried harder to find bigger ones, because I cranked the torsion bars up some. They are not quite touching. I also cranked the sway bar end links down some more, because I've been hearing a little clunk. Hoping that takes care of it and it's not the bushings for the torsion bar, I was reading another thread here where that was the problem. Bout to test drive it right now.

Just weird that the wipers were the same outcome just on the driver side. Passenger side both were 100% fine, driver both were bad. Old wipers no problem either side
