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

[Fless]

Today was a day of waxing and polishing my 2001 Tahoe. I used Meguiar’s Ultimate Polish and Wax to get a good shine and cleaning before winter gets here. I used my Ryobi orbital detailer to apply the Polish and wax.

I have owned this Tahoe since July, 2001 and I polish and wax it every 6 months to keep the Forest Green color shine in good shape.

Love that color!

Ordered a couple hvac control panel bulb sets as bulbs in my Denali keep dying and one in my escalade is out.

Figured out why the back doors quit locking and unlocking. Dirty contacts in the relays on the driver side of the dash. A little sandpaper work and they are back in business.

FIxed the tailgate lock on my Escalade EXT yesterday. When trying to lock it felt and sounded like nails on a chalkboard and felt like the key was going to snap. So i shot some lube in on the lock cylinder with no real change. Pulled the bezel off and realized it was the lock mechanism that the lock cylinder moves back and forth.

Drenched most of the internal assembly with some PB blaster and now its smooth like butter.

been awhile since i have updated on this forum. recently done some services on my yukon xl to get ready for the winter season. did all the oils, brakes/rotors, steering gear box, front hub assembly, drivers cv axel, some boost auto tow mirrors, fixed some issues with my fog lights, fixed my rear defrosters, and cleaned it very thoroughly. here's a photo of how it currently sits.

after a trip to Menards I had my glass hatch decide to close on my head after giving me no heads up the struts were failing prior to the head bang...

a quick visit to RockAuto.com and I bought new STRONGARM struts for the glass hatch as well as the hatch door itself...

about $50 lighter in the wallet but the struts seem to work great and were easy enough to install...

I had an issue with my driver's side door lock button not working. It turned out to be a bad connection at one of the door harness plugs, where it plugs into the fuse block under the dash. I happened to be messing with it with the door open and it started working. Then it quit once I shut the door. That was the clue that led me to check that harness. I began wiggling the harness and plugs, and I narrowed it down to the brown plug. If I unplugged it and plugged it back in, it would work for a day or two. I finally just cut a plug off another truck in the junkyard and spliced it on to my harness. I "could" have replaced the entire door harness, but I did it the lazy way and just spliced in another pigtail. I used the heat and seal butt splice connectors, then wrapped it tightly in tape, fed it back into the dash and plugged it back into the bottom of the fuse panel. Its been working fine ever since, and that was well over 2 years ago now.
