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

[Alex_M]

No lie!! It's a trap! I haven't had much time to do the research and I really don't like the idea of Adapters for the injectors and TB.

Just completed the swap - don't need adapters for either. You can get a basic 92mm fly-by-cable throttle body on ebay with IAC and TPS, and you can use your original injectors as long as you use the '07-up fuel rails. C5 Vette return style fuel filter is a necessary addition.

Still not a free swap by any means, but not overly complicated.

Edit: Looks like I was already beaten to the punch.

But is it really worth it? How much power do you think it's worth?

Hard to tell. I did it at the same time as a completely fresh motor with a different cam. My combo, way better than before, but hardly an A - B test.

Lots of folks out there claim a significant improvement though.

Can anyone else confirm the fuel rail comment??

I'll make a post later with some pictures detailing the swap over in the engines section.

EDIT: I have not forgotten, just been busy. Will make the post in the next few days.

You should take a look at the "Under Construction" thread. Lots of great ideas in there.

My fuel filler door began waving to any cars around me, so I had to replace it. I couldn't find color code 382, but grabbed an 817. And since I am replacing my hood and liftgate with the same 817s ( one of these days ), it should look even better.

I also noticed that the front bumper cover had most of the retaining clips broken off from the previous owner ( hit a whitetail or several ), so I grabbed a new one of those. It's black, but I like the way that looks too. But now I need to repaint the fender flares. Damned list never gets any shorter !

Pay no attention to the cloudy headlights - those, too, are on the list.

Haven't gotten outside yet to do it. But will be checking for hail damage from a storm last night. Hoping i got it in the garage before too much of the big stuff came down.

Edit. No hail dents so that is nice. Pulled the Stampede bug/rock deflector off of it. Not sure if looks right now....

Glad you didn’t get any hail damage!

IMHO, always looks right without. I don’t care for any of the deflectors.

A tune will give you the most bang for the buck. But if you’re going to do other mods, the tune needs to be done afterwards.

Finally did something. I bench bled the new master cylinder I've had sitting in a box for 3-4 months. I'm 1/2 there boys!!

I copied @Fless, and finally replaced the lift struts on my tailgate. (Strongarm p/n: 4557: Qty (2) Chevrolet Suburban 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 Liftgate Lift Supports https://a.co/d/1Jaf9fu)
Much better! Thing has never really lifted up, without help since I bought it. Man, I’m ready for a break now.. whew.. wanna grab a beer @Tonyrodz ..?

I could go for some whiskey and a cigar.

I just replaced the ones on my glass. Same thing- I started to really notice that I had to lift the glass to get it all the way up. Now it does it automatically. I’m one of the few who actually use the rear glass. That way, the dog can stay safely inside while I load smallish things in the back.

Yeah, I considered replacing the glass struts as well, as I do have to lift mine up, but it stays up, once manipulated. Looking at the plastics around those hinges though, and knowing their common failure, I’ve decided it’s just fine for me. I rarely use the glass.

The hinges and lift support brackets are glued directly to the glass. That plastic has nothing to do with it. Mine is the frameless design with no plastic around the edges so you can see how they’re glued on.

Ah. Good to know. I was under the impression the hinges were attached to the glued-on plastic!

Nah, they’re structurally glued to the glass.
