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

    Thanks, good to know. Mine does not have that code.

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

    When I click the link, Amazon right off says those do not fit my truck (take with a grain of salt...). Rockauto also does not list those as fitting my truck. Perhaps not used on the XL version? Not sure, but I know the ones Rockauto did recommend for my ZW7 (#540-433) work outstanding. EDIT...

    Not 100% sure on the Nivomats, but yes, the ZW7 Premium Smooth Ride. I used AcDelco #540-433 as it was what I found to match the ZW7 code for 4wd versions.

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

    Finally got around to replacing the junked Gabriel shocks in the rear with AcDelco, MAJOR improvement on ride quality and handling. My guess is previous owner didn't check RPO codes to get the correct ones, or rather the shop he took it to didn't care (he gave me all the paperwork, the...

    Useless Information

    I can't speak for where Swathdriver got his numbers, but I'm guessing experience and research. The link below does show EPA for an '09 on straight E85. Interesting to see his custom mixtures fall in line with those estimates for E85. Awesome he took time to make the spreadsheets...

    Useless Information

    Compared my '04 to an '09 equivalent. The nnbs is only 300 lbs heavier, 15 more HP, and 5 more torque. Extremely minimal difference. Is it maybe tied with the use of E85? Mine is a flex as well, but I only use plain old 87 octane.

    Useless Information

    Interesting, I would have assumed it would have been better than the NBS being these have the 6-speed tranny. Known reason for the low mpg?

    Help please its cold and no heat in the front

    Those are some harsh temps to handle with no heat. You said you did the HVAC reset, but did you check to make sure the blend door actuators were moving? You said dual auto control, so I'm assuming you have the dials with a digital display and not the slides. The driver's side blend door is under...

    Front Differential

    Awesome, thanks for the links. And this would also do the seals on the output shafts? Edit: Nix that, saw where it said includes axle seals further down in the description. Thanks

    Front Differential

    I guess to put it simply, I'm trying to find what I need to rebuild or replace my front axle assembly. I'm not going to just rebuild the main differential (center piece), but the entire thing including the side piece (axle housing on right side) where the difference in the assemblies are. When I...

    Front Differential

    It definitely needs a rebuilt, but what kit? When I search for parts, all I see is for the 4x4 models, nothing about the non-Denali "AWD" versions that don't have actuators. Without an actuator, internal parts should be different, meaning the kit for normal 4x4 wouldn't be the right one for the...

    Front Differential

    I have a question about the front diff in my Yukon. It is the "AWD" version with the BW 8842 (2-speed) transfer case. I can find nothing that separates this front diff from standard 4x4 differentials when looking for parts, or even replacements, when searching parts sites. From what I know to be...

    Longest time idling?

    Clutch fan here, have idled well over an hour without issue. Just make sure your coolant isn't broken down and the radiator and condenser fins are clean, and you shouldn't have a problem. A/C may not work spectacularly in the middle of the summer in direct sunlight doing that though :flame:

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

    Heck yeah, thanks! Will definitely try this when I can. I have done similar using cold chisel on old farm equipment, but didn't think about a nail punch for smaller applications.
