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

[Bear77]

Was a nice day (< 40 F ), so I went to the junkyard. Thought I'd see just how difficult it is to remove the upper section of the steering column. That Youtube video I posted earlier made it look like a pita. Actually doing it wasn't so bad. The hardest part was removing those damned snaprings. I pulled 3, and 3 clocksprings, for practice.

To hell with trying to fit that larger insert into the new steering wheel. Oh well, they can't all be good ideas.

So why exactly are you trying to fit the larger insert into a newer steering wheel? I did see the YouTube vid. Asking because I’m curious and wondering what you’re actually trying to accomplish

Appliances are in short supply all over. We are a GE house here. I hate appliance issues. I would almost rather my vehicle break down then have to deal with an appliance that is on the fritz.

A year or so ago we decided to replace our stove and refrigerator and looked at getting some Samsung stuff due to price point, but found that service for Samsung stuff around me sucks. Closest "Certified Samsung Service Tech" is 1-1/2 hours away and heard that parts are super hard to get. Had to replace my dad's gas dryer a couple weeks ago and the local appliance store that we use said they hit their yearly goal for sales at the beginning of August this year for new units. Fortunately, they had a gas dryer in stock. They are having issues with repair parts though. Said many are showing 4-6 week backlog which has helped with the new unit sales, they believe.

about 2 years my 10 year maytag washer spun the bearings, had a guy come look at it and he must not have wanted to do the repair and said just go buy a nrw one so I went and bought some fancy ass $1800 samsung, hooked it up, loaded some laundry, put it to work and it looked like it was washing clothes in about a cup of water, I let it do it's thing, when it finished the clothes where covered in lint and definitely not looking or feeling clean, unhooked that ************* and took it back, called another guy and for $350 he put brand new bearings in it and it was back to working like brand new again, then about a week later it stopped spinning did a little googling and discovered it was simple little $20 plastic gear that took about 30 seconds to replace, been working fine since then. they make these things "environmentally friendly" now, they make them to conform with epa laws of using less water. less power yada yada you just end up with a useless piece of crap. just like low flow toilets, incandescent light bulbs, digital tv, 4g/5g cant get a dam phone signal or tv channel if you are not in a fraction of the range of analog tv or 3g which used to work pretty well. rant over

Swapping a later model steering wheel in.

Clock springs can’t be spun or they’re toast. Should tape them up when removed.....new they come with an orange lock tab.
I know, useless info from me....

I didn't hear or notice that the clock spring "unwound". The wiring tab stayed where it belonged, and I lifted it straight off. I guess I'll find out if they're toast if/when I ever get around to swapping the wheel.

Was trying to find a way to put a 2003+ wheel on my 2001 - without swapping the upper steering shaft.

 

[HiHoeSilver]

Yeah, I read it somewhere.....I don’t think it was here. When I was gathering info/parts for the heated wheel swap for the hoe.... which I never did......... @HiHoeSilver

A guy has a nice Esky wheel--complete for sale--but he doesn't want to ship it.

Getting close on the 408. I think we are taking a break on it tomorrow waiting on t case to be rebuilt, cam sensor harness (I smashed it between bell housing), hook up Y pipes, and button up the top end. Then let-er-rip tater-chip!

I’ve had problems with my Samsung fridge as well as 3 other family members. I won’t buy Samsung or LG large appliances. Their TV’s and electronics are great. Large appliances not so much. $0.02.

I've heard a lot of bad things about Samsung appliances. The drum in their front loaders rust out every 5 years or so. I know two people that have had to replace their fridges just out of warranty. Ill just keep fixing my Kenmore stuff from the 90s.

My wife and I got 15 years out of our Maytag washer, 20 years out of our Amana fridge and my wife decided that she wanted a new look in the kitchen so when we replaced the fridge, we got a new stove as well. The dryer is still cooking along. We went with Maytag when we bought for our first house because my Father-in-Law worked for them for 34.5 years. Now that Whirlpool owns them and gutted my father-in-laws "guaranteed lifetime insurance and pension" four years after he retired from Maytag, not Whirlpool, we have stayed away from Whirlpool or Maytag brand products. We have been very happy with GE products and extremely happy with the local family owned appliance store we buy from.

Every new clockspring I've seen is shipped with a locking tab at the center point, assuming they will be installed with the steering wheel and tires centered. They don't "unwind" by themselves, at least not much. You can take a used one and find the center by *gently* turning it from end to end, being careful to not put much pressure when you get to either end. Count the turns from end to end, divide by 2, and from one end move it back that many turns. That's the center.

Some of them are marked with the full turn count. The one in the graphic has 5 turns from end to end, centered would be 2.5 turns from either end.

Gents,

I wanted to do a full Led swap on the front and rear exterior.

03 Denali

9005 9006 for hi/lows.

No idea what the part #s are for the 3 bulbs in the drl/turn blinker or the fogs?

880 bulbs for the rear reverse bulb?

Headlight low 9006
Headlight high 9005
(Leds are usually designed to fit both)
Fog light 880
Turn signal 3157
DRL 4114LL
Corner marker bulb 194
Brake light 3157
Rear turn signal 3157 or 3156
Reverse 3157 or 3156

good source I’ve used for years, always accurate. But by now I have our body style lights memorized. Same exact lights are used for tahoe, Silverado , Sierra , all the trucks . https://www.modifiedlife.com/2003-gmc-yukon-headlight-light-bulb-sizes/

Speaking of leds, I finally got a set of highs to finish off the complete front led conversion haha.


also check superbrightled.com they have all the sizes your truck needs by adding in the truck info, quality lights but also $$.

Heard good things about superbright leds. I usually go through only jdmastar but I think they recently just went out of business.

Yeah Samsung appliances are garbage. We had a laundry pair, the front loading washer sucked ass. Finally gave up and got a top loader from LG which has been great. Samsung dryer still working after 10 years though, did have to replace a thermal fuse once. Everybody I know with a $2400 Samsung fridge, the ice maker no worky

That ice maker takes 15 minutes to replace and the upgraded part costs like $75. Tell your friends to fix it lol. All you need is a #2 Phillips.
