What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Yesterday, I finally sat down and took care of the wiring to install my junkyard Sierra seats. I picked them up on a whim last year when I found a wrecked truck with a decent looking interior. The connection to the body harness is apparently in the front for Sierras, and the seat harness is...- YukonBrian

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
I guess it’s not what I did to it today, but another person. Somebody decided to smash my rear window early this morning. Nothing taken or visibly rummaged through, but they did get in to unlock the doors. Wondering if they plan to come back another time. Luckily the glass is in stock...- YukonBrian

As noted above by mattbta, the alternator is actually 145 amp. Not sure where I got the 175 number from. Wishful thinking I guess. It is a 4pin style part though.- YukonBrian

It’s part number 3351092 Fron my understanding this is made to the size spec of the stock ad244 130amp alternatir. It does require a longer belt if you have the ad230 105 amp one. TBH even after removal I can’t see another way of identifying the styles alternator I had without measuring...- YukonBrian

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Finally got the Yukon in the audio shop this week. Got the stinger heigh10 media receiver, 1000w amp, morel ultra mkii components front and rear, finished off with an mb quart discus 8in sub in the stock box. Worth the 3 month wait on the install appointment, install is super duper clean. I was...- YukonBrian

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Installed new control arms, upper and lower for both sides. All four balljoints were toast, so it was a good time to get it done. As a bonus this is the last piece of my Moog steering/suspension refresh in the front with new Bilstein 4600 shocks. Alignment service is scheduled for Wednesday to...- YukonBrian

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
I was counting the rear bench as one, so $750 total. I’m not sure all of the steps of katzkinz but think the base price is $1k for the covers, before you get into addons to restore factory features like heating elements and then the actual work to actually replace the covers. Regardless, my...- YukonBrian

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Drove out to Port Orchard on Friday to pick up some replacement seats from the junkyard. I found a 2002 sierra crew cab slt through car-part.com that had an interior with some life left in it. The front and rears from the pickup are able to bolt into my yukon, but there are some significant...- YukonBrian

Wouldn’t be the worst thing, but the problem exists across lift kits of any height.- YukonBrian

Lift kits for year 2000 Yukon XL 2500
So I’m one week out until my appointment at the suspension/tire shop and I’m starting to panic. I have dreams of 35s and a 4 inch lift. But, I can’t really find any kits for year 2000 2500’s, most kits are for years 2001-2006. Even still, I can’t really even find quality leveling kits for...- YukonBrian

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Over the weekend, I took the Yukon in to an exhaust shop for a new muffler. I ended up getting a magnaflow 22in muffler over the original flow master super 50 that I wanted. Biggest problem was no one had the flowmaster in stock and I was sold on how much better magnaflow is for mufflers...- YukonBrian

What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?
Went for a Sunday drive out to a shopping center in Issaquah. I threw on my replacement center cap earlier that I bought off eBay, for the rear driver side, but I don’t think it matches too well. The trip was about 20 minutes out from Seattle and it is the first time I’ve needed to use the AC...- YukonBrian

2000 Yukon XL 2500 - Engine Oil Cooler Hose Assembly Replacement
Alright, it’s time to bring this saga to a close. Final part selected and fitted was the standard part # 84828850 as recommended by GM, with no modifications needed. The technician loosened an engine mount to get some additional clearance for the hose assembly to pass through and got it...- YukonBrian

2000 Yukon XL 2500 - Engine Oil Cooler Hose Assembly Replacement
Thanks for the welcome! I plan to contribute as much as I can, when I can. For now, it’s hard to describe how much of a newbie I am. There’s a good bit of work I’m planning for the truck to get it in good shape and add some modern creature comforts. Some of that I plan to do myself by hand but...- YukonBrian

2000 Yukon XL 2500 - Engine Oil Cooler Hose Assembly Replacement
Thanks, the engine is the 6.0 LQ4. I have checked on the earlier generation as well. They lack the junction block that mounts to the side of the engine block and instead they mount to an oil filter adapter that itself mounts to the engine block. I just got an update from the mechanic this...- YukonBrian
