    SMART PHONE Holder

    Anyone have any suggestions, recommendations for a good smart phone holder for our NBS Trucks? Preferably, I would like something that clips onto something existing, like the air vents, as I do not want to tear half of my interior apart in order to install the proper holder.

    I do have the folding mirror option on my 2004 GMC Yukon SLE, which I use quite frequently.

    I do have a squeak/squealing noise on the left rear which I can hear when I have the window rolled down. It is not noticeable with the window up. Rear brakes got new pads about 10k miles ago. Could a brake caliper be stuck a bit in order to cause this noise? Thanks in advance, your...

    Idler and Pitman Arm, Tie Rods

    I was informed yesterday while my truck was at my buddy's shop for an oil change that I have play in my idler arm and it should get replaced.

    Oil Cooler or Transmission Cooler lines

    Have a leak in the front right behind the bumper so I am thinking either oil cooler or transmission cooler lines. How easy or difficult is it to get to the connections to see if they may just need to be re tightened? Thanks.

    Tire Monitoring System

    My "Service Tire Monitoring System" is showing on the DIC periodically, thinking one of my sensors is bad. Is there a way to shut the TMS off? I am not a fan of the system anyhow, as I believe in checking the air pressure regularly. How can I disable the system? Thanks in advance.

    Heated Seats

    The backrest on my heated seats both work great, driver and passenger side. Both bottom cushions on both sides do not appear to get warm. Is there a separate fuse? I would think it not to be very likely for both bottom seat cushions to be failing due to a non working heat pad? Thanks in...

    Annoying Brake squeal / squeak

    How does one get rid of this annoying brake squeak/squeal, only noticeable just right before the stop/while slowly coming to a stop. Front pads still have about 50% life left, rear pads were replaced about 3 months ago. Thanks.

    Shock exchange

    Getting ready to pull the trigger on a set of BILSTEIN 4600 Series for my 2004 Yukon SLT, 4x4, stock height. Truck is stiff as a rock and you can feel just about any pot hole on the road, so I am hoping this will greatly improve my ride as I am still running the original shocks at 130K miles...

    - Will the DENALI Grill fit inside the chrome plated piece which wraps around the front of the truck from headlight to headlight without modification? - Will my existing GMC Emblem fit on the DENALI Insert, or is the DENALI emblem different in size, possibly thinner? Thanks in advance.
