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

[02_Tahoe]

Welp at least when you're done it's one less thing to worry about

That’s how I’m trying to look at it. Planned on buying a junk core and building it myself as a backup but the truck decided to create the junk core for me

Replaced a couple of the steering wheel control switches with the Dorman ones from Rock Auto (the photo lighting is not great):

Easy enough to do these two: disconnect the negative battery cable, pop the airbag off and disconnect it, and use a small hooked pick to pull them out and release the connectors. Taking the airbag off gave me an opportunity to push the wires into the tunnels to help push the switches out of the cavity.

I put the old (OE) ones up for free in the For Sale section:

Finally got around to installing the Glenn's Auto Performance trans cooler kit. Definitely a big improvement over stock. Lines fit perfect. Cooler and brackets were all exactly the fitment I was hoping for.

No pics it didn't happen. Lol

This is the only photo I took. I actually removed the push bar. It's time to change the look of my Tahoe. I'm looking for projector retrofit headlights and a good front turn signal housing.

Grab some Sierra Denali or Yukon Denali projector headlights.

Those are shaped differently than the Tahoe headlights aren't they? Do they fit the fenders and hood? I know the grill is shaped different for sure.

I believe they do, but my wife has been difficult, so I haven't been able to put the ones on her Suburban that I have. But I believe a "bubble eye is a bubble eye" -- nothing else really matters. If you are in the DFW area, I'd be happy to let you test fit mine.

I have a 05 tahoe and Denali and I don't see how those headlights would fit each other.
Also used headlights will have the problem of old lenses and you will have to polish them every so often.

I put these on my tahoe, they work good install was easy. I don't drive at night but when I do it's nice to be able to see.

R&R right rear axle seal. The spider gears fell out so I learned how to put them back in...
I did learn if you can't get the c clip out easily put a c clamp on the axle and use it to push the axle in a little bit.
Put new gear oil in also changed the engine oil and filter and installed some wire loom on the big bundle of wires after removing what was left of the original loom. Also painted the fender brace it has a little bit of corrosion forming.

Went to rollup RR window and heard a loud bang! The window fell down, one of the cables of the mechanism broke...
My records say I replaced it in 2020

I ordered a new one from rockauto

Picked it up from the Transmission shop. Second time having the Transmission rebuilt in this pig. Last time I had it built was in 2012. Maybe I should stop driving it like I stole it. But 12-15 years out of a daily driven 4L60E is pretty good from what I hear.

Finally fixed the alternator surging and voltage drops I was noticing. Loose negative (I didn't install the battery!)

Also ordered a nice looking gauge cluster I'll pick up tonorrow

Yesterday I picked up a spare back glass, a spare dvd player and replaced the one my 7yr old oofed, picked up a clock spring that I later found out was already broke but one way or another I'll have working controls in this Denali.

Drove it 90 miles round trip to Dickies Arena for a concert with my daughter. Always a good time with her.

Hardwired the dash cam. Used the connections in the MBEC for power/accy with proper connector.

Picked up a set of Escalade D pillars at the the Pick and pull for $20 today.

Sway bar end link on driverside. Daughter sent me a video message.... dad it makes a bang when I turn. And yes it did.
It would come out of the pocket on left turns and slide and pop back in on right turns.

She is pretty good at that. Not always, but if it is noticeable she will tell me.
