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

[strutaeng]

Probably the tensioner seized up. Fairly common issue, happened to my 03 too.

So I ordered a tensioner and belt. Today I finally got to it, and that's exactly what happened. One of the ball bearings got out and wedged itself on the pulley. The pulley had a melted segment of rubber on it.

New GM Genuine replacement tensioner and Gates belt. AC is back to normal.

Thanks for your info.

That's what we're here for my friend. Love this forum, and I like to contribute useful info when I can--and non useful bs

Sometimes the non useful BS is more useful than you think. The odd joke, here and there, really help on bad days.

I was watching this auction and it finally sold, might be one of the rarest trucks

It's so nice, except for the 3.42 gears. I haven't seen one this nice nice 2005, lol. What I can't believe is how it sold for more now than it costed in 2005.

The owner lost a ton on that deal. Only made 13k and that is not subtracting the storage and insurance fees for the last 19 years. If he would have invested that money even at a measly 5% growth he would have more than doubled his investment.

I recently changed the covers on my seats (pre joining the forum or else I'd ask first). Had to remove them from the car and disconnect all the wiring. After putting them back on, the "service airbag" light came on and the obd reader doesn't clear it (unless I don't know how to use it) is there a cheat code for this light to be turned off? Up up down, switch ignition on, two left signals, type of a remedy?

I had someone replace my seat cover and after install I had that light on. It ended up being the bright yellow (If I remember) connector wasn't connected well enough.

Appreciate the hint I will check all of my connections and report back.

The airbags codes do not reset with a scan tool or other secret sauce; the fault must be repaired before the code goes away.

just opened up my front end to install the new bumper...my bumper looks unusual based on other pics I've seen. There's like an extra piece sticking out...I think this was welded on afterwards am I right? I gotta cut off the excess to fit the winch plate... I hope I'm not messing it up.

Nevermind, I just saw another Z71 without the bumper on and it looks exactly like this... Ahhhh noooo... Are the non Z71 metal bumpers different? Maybe I got the part that fits those instead. I just don't want to start grinding away if it's gonna come up short somehow. What a bummer

I cut them off... Customer rep at 3 back and forths said I have to cut them off and they all come like this. Funny how it was advertised as bolt-on. Maybe that just means it's not welded on.

I think they owe you some free goodies to make it right since this is right off the 2000-2006 Tahoe front bumper page. Specifically says no cutting or grinding.

Exactly my thoughts...

Exactly my thoughts...

I'd tell em to give you one of those $350 light packages to make it right, can't hurt to try.

Also mine is NOT a z71 and had to have the ends cut off to get my bumper on (I didn't do the work just saw the aftermath)
