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

    5 years after installing poly body mount bushings (https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/body-mount-bushings.129520/ ) I finally got tired of the super rough ride and body noise (popping, etc). Bought a set of S&B body mounts and installed them this afternoon. Call it a placebo effect but the...

    Another unknown clunk thread

    That’s an interesting idea, more along the lines of my thought about the hub continuing to rotate just a hair. The hardware is present and was cleaned up about a month ago when I disassembled the front brakes to clean and re-lube the components. I had used the purple Permatex brake lube when I...

    Another unknown clunk thread

    I checked both manifold heat shields and there were no cracks and the bolts were tight. I had the exhaust replaced some years back due to a cat failure. I’ll check the heat shields on the new system just to confirm they are fine. And yes it’s very true that sound likes to travel. I had some...

    Another unknown clunk thread

    Been chasing a sound that has become an annoyance as of late on my 2005 tahoe. Sometimes it’s a light “tink” sometimes it’s a “clunk” but it always sounds like it’s coming from the driver’s front. Here’s a short video of it, I’ve got a 5+ minute video that I spent an hour looking at each...

    What brand for brakes!?

    I’m using the Akebono ProACT pads. OEM brand for a number of manufacturers.

    Dreaded front end clunk? Check your transmission mount!

    Long story short, I’ve been dealing with an occasional front end clunk on my Tahoe for MONTHS and it’s been getting on my last nerve (the wife complaining that I still haven’t taken it in to be looked at is my last nerve lol). One random POP while braking and nearly stopped, it seemed to...

    Testing Throttle Position Sensor (2005) - UPDATED (Injector?)

    update: Was sitting in the drive thru last night and was hearing this: I gave it some throttle and it cleared up and the idle went back to normal. This morning I went out and started the tahoe and let it idle while I was trying to get some other things in the back. By the time the engine...

    Michelin Defender Alternatives

    Yes, another tire thread. I know tires have been beaten to death on here but I am posting [yet] another one to get an update for 2025. Long story short, I have the Defender LTX M/S on my tahoe now and am down to 5/32" - 6/32" after only 30k miles. Maybe just a bad batch, but needless to say...

    What's left?

    I did say that there may be more. I haven't looked too much in NM personally so I couldn't vouch for them. I've had some friends that lived in the area over the years and they talked as if everyone out there beat up on them hitting the trails, etc. and accrued a lot of mileage driving between...

    What would you buy if you had to replace your GMT800/900 SUV and couldn't buy a GM product?...

    If money was no object and I could find a true mint vehicle: - 100 series Land Cruiser - 3rd gen (or 4th gen) 4Runner - second gen Sequoia (post face lift) I love my GMT800, but she'll be 20 this summer and I have limited / near zero interest in anything newer that GM or Ford made. They may...

    What's left?

    I live in eastern NC (ENC) and there are tons of tahoes and suburbans, and their GMC equivalents, in this area. You have to do some digging to avoid the "fake country boy" specials i.e. 380k miles on its third rebuilt transmission with a destroyed interior and a crappy lift and wheel lights as...

    EVAP System.... found an o-ring where is it from?

    I believe he referred to this connection, between the spring and the main fuel filler hose (disconnected in this screenshot). Fuel filler neck vent. This is the only good option I could think of when the question was originally asked, noted in my first comment.

    HVAC control unit rebuilder?

    It's almost 2 months later, but I got a rebuilt one (digital control) from "pro-rebuild" on Ebay back in October 2023: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ssn=pro-rebuild&store_name=prorebuild&_oac=1&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161210 Installed it and had no issues for a couple weeks, then had the...

    Testing Throttle Position Sensor (2005) - UPDATED (Injector?)

    went and checked some live readings on my lunch break. I did notice that at the midway hashmark on the temp gauge (between 160 and 210) I was getting a loud tick / knock. This is not my video but it sounded just like this: It was raining and I didn’t have a screwdriver or my stethoscope to...
