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

[Galandorian]

I ordered the fleece all lights on module its supposed only keep the foglights on when the high beams are on if you leave the fogs on. If you have highs on and turn your fogs off they turn off. It's a little more expensive at $28 shipped for me but peace of mind.
What did you use for projectors and brackets for your retro?

hmm, I read differently that it keeps your fogs on all the time when highs are on, and you couldn't change that

I went with CB&D brackets and Super H1 7.1 bi-xenon clear lenses, NHK 38w G3 ballasts, and Morimoto H1 4500k bulbs.

I'm thinking you're right on the fleece module. I watched the fleece video and another video on grounding the bcm and got them mixed up. In my defense I just woke up.

When I put in my cb&d brackets into the projector housing then put the projector in through the front the two little arches on top the projector hit the top of the projector housing. I had to trim two little arches to clear the projector so it would sit flat. I dont remember seeing that anywhere. Did you run into that at all?

The Volante is the only one I've ever had. I really like it. Bought it used from a forum member. I first installed it when I had my 4.8 and just stepping on the gas normally--it roared! Sounded amazing. Sounded like I was nailing it--not ****** at all. Now that I have all the work done, including the exhaust--everything ties in nicely. When I romp it, everything is loud as f@#$! Lol, even just stepping on it normally it's loud(The Hoe). I'd recommend getting the scoop--iirc it's an option.

Yeah I thought I remembered the scoop being an option. I hope I can find a used one at some point. I really want an intake for it, but I want something that's actually going to make a difference. Like I said, I've always been a fan of the Volante's design, so I'd like to get that same one eventually.

I feel ya man. Time is definitely the crux of the whole thing. Video production can take sooooo long–it's definitely hard to find the time and I always end up rushing one or more things.

Yeah, for a while I was getting away with bringing my laptop to work and getting editing on my videos done, then uploading them once I got home.... but some coworker screwed that up for us so now we're "on a time out"... fun being an adult.

If you can afford it, totally worth the money.

Replaced the intermediate steering shaft and completely eliminated the annoying clunking sound and feel I have had in my truck since it was new. Easy job because I didn't replace the bearing.

I'll have mine apart again this weekend to fix them, and can take pics, but I didn't have any issues with arches.

my only issue was the CB&D brackets are built for 7.0s and I went with a 7.1 kit, so I had to drill press the bracket to make it fit

@Galandorian
I say screw the Fleece module and do this. I did it and have had 0 issues with it and it was easy fast and free.

I have the fleece 6HI chip. Spendy at $25 but its worth it to me and it makes for a clean install.

Here's some pics of my motor--just for @Fosscore . I think I need an intervention.View attachment 215024 View attachment 215025

I dont have that problem here in AK. And our winters here are twice as long as anyone else

Finished painting my Denali headlights today. Tonight I'm working on putting them all back together with CB&D brackets, Morimoto mini H1 projectors, Morimoto elite ballasts, XB bulbs, motoho1ders, high beam splitters, 9005 silverstar ultras.
This morning I ordered the fleece performance all lights on module should be here later this week.
I'm really looking forward to installing this setup as my spyders just weren't going to cut it. I'm sure I'll have to do some headlight tuning with the new setup but that's to be expected.

why the high beam splitter? The projectors are bi-xenon right? Factory high beam spot is black now. And why halogens and not hids ?!!
Also excellent work, cant wait to see the finished product lol

What type of pen did you use again for your engine cover?

Also as far as the splitter I made one as well the MH1 isn't the best projector ( better than any halogen) so with the added halogen high beam it makes the world of the difference

Baked some sierra lights for dinner. Friends lights, he was scared to do it himself. I understand it's not for the faint of heart. But he wants white reflectors swapped from the clear housing to the stock housing. Apparently aftermarket housings are junk for Sierras/Yukons. They keep cracking with mounting brackets breaking and falling apart anybody on here have that problem?

I told him if we swapped lenses he would have garbage output unless he did a retrofit, ,so hes keeping the factory style diffuser lens

Got them at home depot

they were generic butyl. Permaseal is on newer cars from the factory. Theres very few aftermarket lights that come permasealed that I know of.

Haha it was most definitely not fun. Luckily it was a spare headlight I only needed the adjuster from

my only issue was the CB&D brackets are built for 7.0s and I went with a 7.1 kit, so I had to drill press the bracket to make it fit

I'll try my best to explain so the first picture is of the projector housing once you remove the factory projector there is window if you will. Where I drew the blue line is where the little arches on the projector (see second pitch)was hitting. I couldn't install the projector onto the cb&d bracket and simply install the two into the projector housing from the back because the arches would hit. If I tried to insert the projector and cb&d bracket in through the front the arch on the projector would hit the top making the projector aim downwards if I installed them that way. I figured I had 3 options either 1 install washers on top and bottom projector mounting bolts to the bracket so it spaced the projector away from the lip on the housing. 2 I could shave down the projector arches. 3 trim out two little arches in the projector housing to clear the projector.

If I would've installed it without any of those 3 options the projector would've been slightly pushed out further on the top than the bottom. I just put a little more silicone where I notched the housing. Fingers crossed I dont have a lot of adjustments to make I'm installing them tomorrow!
