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

[mattbta]

Success!

Was able to use the latest Techline Connect and SPS2 in conjunction with a VCX Nano (as a j-2534) to flash calibrations to the radio to convert my UC6 system to Y91. It was a little scary because I decided to YOLO it and didn't use/have a battery tender. When I got to the final proceed step, it told me to unplug the fuse for the DVD player. Couldn't find that so just pulled the whole assy down and unplugged the unit.

After flashing, put the DVD back in the ceiling and hooked up the RSA and amp harnesses. Fired it up and I have sound! w00t! Still need to separately wire the rear tweeters but the big stuff is done.

Thank you to @Sam Harris, @Fless, and @DougAMiller

Just got the temp sensor, still waiting on the thermostat.

Cam came! Couple runs, little bleed through, but the paint looks good enough for me.
@Tonyrodz I better order a sensor and thermostat, I was gonna run my old ones but I'm scared now.

I gave the Yukon a little upgrade last night. Think it looks pretty good . Put in an Escalade steering wheel and a shift lever from a 2012 Tahoe.

Was your Yukon in high water?

Nice upgrades. I did the nnbs shifter in mine but with the stitch in the back. However, I had to swing back around and notch it and bend it in a vise as it hung way too low when in drive.

Here's where the inspiration came from: https://www.gmfullsize.com/threads/how-to-nnbs-shift-lever-in-nbs-trucks.318301/

Not sure if this is the best thread to ask in, but does anyone have any leads on where to get longer sway bar links? I’ve got a 3/2 level and I’ve noticed the stock links seem to cause my inner tie rods to rub against the sway bar. I need maybe an extra inch of clearance is all

Ha! No just dirty floor mats from the winter. I’m assuming that’s what you’re meaning.

Which side is bank 2?
Ds? I'm thinking exhaust leak.

I believe Bank 2 is passenger side.

Long time, no see!

I recall someone here is running links from a JK or some model of Jeep. I don't recall if they were on the front or rear. You might luck up with a set of stock links from another GM truck, like a Z71 or an older (OBS?) model.

Barring all that, you could make your own. You'll just need longer bolts (Grade 8 or higher) and a a couple steel tubes of whatever length you need. Reuse your original bushings and washers or get new.

I found part of the problem I think-

-would this cause the stft issues?
Muffler has a nice hole in it.

Lookin good!

Yeah. I never think about those small details of snow and muddy floor mats, etc. Down here, if a floorboard looks like that, it's because the car was in a flash flood or the windows were left down during consecutive hard springtime rains.

Affirmative.

Also I think the rear is on it's way out. I floored it going down the road and it sounded like I blew it. Clanging noises were coming from underneath, kind of sounded like the trans area at 1st. Still in gear i was stepping on it and nothing. I put it in neutral then in gear, little more clanging then it stopped, went into gear and it drove. Stepped on it again and i heard some banging coming from the ds rear area(sounded like it was coming from that area). Govt lock?

Don't hear any noise in the video, but it was off in park and I was able to turn the rear wheels while in the air and the driveshaft wasn't moving. Doesn't seem to be any real play in the ds, as in U joints. Opinions or ideas?

Driveshaft isn't gonna spin with the trans in Park. Wheels should turn opposite of each other unless you have a binding diff. When you first start turning a wheel in one direction, there will be a few degrees of slack before the other abruptly "clunks" and begins spinning the opposite direction. If you continue to turn it while keeping that initial slack out of it, there shouldn't be any noise.

Do you know what diff you have?

That's exactly what it's doing.
Do you mean the ratio?

No, the diff type. Not the gear ratio. I'm sure you have the factory LSD, which, I believe would be the Gov-Lock.
