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

    I wear XL gloves. The screw on the interior of the actuator was a pain in the neck and was by far the worst part of the job

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

    It was the blend door actuator located on the far left side of the passenger footwell, to the right of the center console.. It was very easy - only took about 30 minutes. I sprung for a genuine GM replacement which was pricey, but hopefully will work for another decade or two... Amazon link...

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

    Monday my battery left me stranded at the haircut place. Wouldn’t even start after a jump. Then, yesterday, my AC started going from cold to cool to warm and back. I did an HVAC actuator calibration, and it seemed to get worse. Apparently my 20 year old blend door actuator died during the...

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

    It's been about 3 weeks, but I replaced my original throttle body assembly with an OEM/GM unit. No real reason, other than I have a bit of a lag from a standstill I thought might have been tied to a bad spot in the TPS after 20 years, but no change in throttle response or behavior. I'm really...

    No oil pressure at start up, 2001 Tahoe

    Usually when the oil pressure sensor fails, it goes all the way to zero, or pegs at max PSI. IMO, fluttering of the oil pressure gauge is either some sort of debris that is impeding the flow of oil from time to time, or it's your oil pressure gauge stepper motor that is on it's way out...

    I haven't been keeping up with all your posts on this issue, but did you notice a difference when driving? Acceleration, throttle response, etc?

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

    I was up there to get some refrigerant for my father-in-law‘s accord. I think the woman who owned the other truck was getting maybe wiper blades installed or something like that. She and I were both original owners which I thought was pretty cool!

    I used the Cerakote brand headlight restoration kit on my taillights and I am very happy with the improvement!

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

    I went Amber on the DRL LEDs because their white LEDs looked awful - I was disappointed in Sylvanias color temp selection (probably 6500 Kelvin when I was going for 3,000 ish). The ambers look great since it matches the turn signals.

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

    Yesterday I replaced my burnt DRL sockets and installed amber Sylvania LED 4114 bulbs. The OEM replacements were $25 each on Amazon, and came with heat shrink connectors. Pro tip: use some silicone grease on the gasket before installing the new one. it was a VERY tight fit and the silicone...

    I just ponied up the money and bought a new OEM tank…

    Currently in the middle of replacing my driver side valve cover with the updated Dorman PCV design. Figured I would snap a picture of the internals before I put the new cover on. Edit to add: installed a catch can while I was at it.

    Much respect. Differentials might as well operate on magic and unicorn tears as far as I’m concerned.

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

    This year I’m celebrating 20 years of ownership. I bought it 1/31/2006. I’m doing an aesthetic refresh of the truck. Week before last, I dropped it off at a paintless dent repair shop and they did a great job. Yesterday I picked it up from a local paint and body shop where I had the hood...

    HOW TO: Plugging Roof Rack Delete

    Bumping this from the grave. Does anyone happen to have pictures of what this looks like? All the old photobucket image links are broken.

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

    Today I changed my oil. For the first time ever, yesterday I got the “oil level low” message. The oil life monitor said it had about 5% life remaining. Total miles on the oil were about 5,700. I only drained a little over 4 quarts. I’ve ordered the Dorman upgraded design driver side valve...

    Caught a rock on the highway Saturday so got a new windshield installed today.

    It's really not that bad, I've switched to bagged gear oil the last few years and it's SO much easier than trying to pump it in from a rigid bottle.

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

    My 20 year old blower motor was occasionally chirping, I assume because the bearings were at end of life, so I changed out the assembly with an aftermarket part. We’ll see how long this one lasts. Not too bad of a project: only took about 20 minutes to swap.

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

    I ended up getting a Genuine GM part from Summit Racing. I’m that weird guy who doesn’t always trust aftermarket parts and figured the OEM switch was worth it since it lasted me 20 years :)

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

    On Monday I replaced my high mount brake light (for the third time, I think) and last night I replaced my factory original turn signal switch (it was turning on the high beams every time I turned on the right turn signal). Cost was $18 for an aftermarket DOT stamped brake light and $160 for a...

    This past weekend I hauled a 6x12 double axle U-Haul trailer with a 4 seater UTV on it. 2 hours on Friday, and 2 hours on Sunday. Truck didn't miss a beat, even with the original motor and transmission.

    They look good! How did you polish them? Mine need a little love... That's a good looking pair! How many miles and what did you give for it, if you don't mind sharing?
