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

    It's got a cop motor. It's got cop tyres, cop suspension, cop shocks.

    What should stock ride height be? (So I know how much to lower it)

    @adriver I measured all four corners, with a full tank and some stuff in the back. I rarely have actual humans in the back. Both front corners were the same, no "Chevy lean", but oddly, the rear had a half inch difference. 38" that I posted was the average between the sides.

    Plug wire heat shields?

    Long tubes get rid of the factory Y-pipe, requiring a new one to mate with the headers and then to the rest of the exhaust, typically where the factory Y-pipe did. Most long tube manufacturers have Y-pipes with cats. Do it right, do it once. ;)

    Thanks, Mike! I'll check that out. I've done SMD swap in my old MINI Cooper, so this wouldn't be much different, then.

    Tuner vs. Tune

    Count me in the "haven't yet" crowd. I've only had my Denali for a couple weeks, but after much reading here, BBP is on my short list.

    Tell me more... I haven't pulled the switches apart; are they SMDs that need soldering or regular bulbs? I'm interested in doing a color change in my Denali.

    Building my 05 LT Tahoe. any tips? Or anyone just interested in following the build?

    I think he's referring to 'Sloppy Mechanics' and the stage 2 cam that is popular among that crowd. It's great with a turbo, in a Fairmont, Mustang, Colorado or other small, lightweight dyno donkey dragstrip monster. But not so much in a big beast like a GMT800. And, no, please for the love of...

    What should stock ride height be? (So I know how much to lower it)

    I'm planning on fixing it! ;) I had a saggy Expedition, but I attributed that to the plow hanging on the front. I'm thinking 2" spindles and 4" springs should do the trick. EDIT: Just ordered spindles and springs from TBSSowners.

    Thanks. That gives me an idea of where to start. Seems to me, like my front end is sitting low already. It is! It looks even more so in person. I couldn't photograph it well enough.

    What should stock ride height be? (So I know how much to lower it)

    My recently acquired '06 Denali no longer has functioning Autoride, as the PO replaced the shocks with regular ones (he disclosed this to me, it wasn't a surprise, but I haven't looked at what brand). However, it's got a pretty steep rake to it - at least I think it does. Front fender height is...

    Good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience.

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

    So far today, I've done the 6-high diode mod, removed the antenna and ran a wire up the windshield molding, and put in new Depo headlights. Picking up some Escalade corner trim panels later, then might tackle LED interior lighting.

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

    In the past couple days, I've changed out the tail lights and front corner lights. Went with LED tails and clear corners with LED bulbs. I need to do something about the headlights. Today, I replaced the water pump.

    Picked it up yesterday! First thing I had to do was get new wipers for it. I don't think the PO ever changed them, they were so worn out! Drove it from Chattanooga to Milwaukee, with a stop in Kentucky, at the Maker's Mark distillery. Didn't have time to take the tour but dipped a bottle of...

    Made arrangements to pick it up. It's ~700 miles away, and I had a friend check it out for me, this morning. It'll be my first GMT-800, an 06 Yukon Denali.

    Long tube headers

    Old post, I know. But yes, SOMEBODY is reading this. I'm planning on getting a Denali, and LT headers are on the short list, so this is very good info!

    Thanks for the welcomes. It can't be any worse than 13mpg, right? Eh, I don't care. ;)

    I don't have one, yet...

    But my next truck will be a GMT800 (or maybe a GMT900). I've played with S-Series trucks for several years, off and on. Broke the trend, and had an Expedition for a while, but got back into an Olds Bravada, currently. I've had enough of the small trucks. The full size was so much more...
