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

Zw7 is only Ninvomat if it also has G65.

Thanks, good to know. Mine does not have that code.

I don't think there has ever been a good alternative for the rear shocks on the nbs trucks I tried when I had mine and had tossed the originals right off the bat, kicked myself in the ass afterwards when I had to go buy new ones

Damn.. really making me think about replacing those with the Bilsteins. Maybe I should replace the Nivomats with OEM, and just level the front with the 5100’s.. fuuug.. add another $400 or so to the project.. lol

So after my HU install, I started to notice my HVAC driver side knob was getting hard to turn. I figured somehow there was additional pressure on the housing from the HU, and I would get to it when I plugged in the rca’s for the sub amp. Well, then it got harder to turn, and quit working entirely. Of course, pulling the knob off revealed 3 nice cracks in the middle, from cranking on it. Argh.! So off to Ace Hardware, to find a sleeve of some kind to fix it up.. I ended up with a perfectly sized (grade 8 lol) washer, and a snap ring for good measure. Went ahead and did the passenger side as well. Should hold well for a long time!

I’m not sure why the knob was so hard to turn in the first place. It was absolutely frozen. So a few sprays, and working in some electrical contact cleaner did the trick.

Also, notice I have 2 lights to replace in that HVAC control board.. LEDs May be coming.. not sure I wanna go down that road. It’s a PITA..

I love Ace. I have used them so many times in the last few years. Nice work Sam.

Did the oil change, swapped out the old torn up leather bottom cover and cushion on the passenger side with a brand used leather cover and cushion. also swapped out the steering wheel for one with less leather peel.

You didn't happen to do this repair in my driveway a few weeks ago and need to run back to the store for another snap ring at some point, did you?

I rejoined the GMT800 fleet today with the auction purchase of this ‘02 2500HD:

Crappy part is that they had another ‘02 but without a plow that was in decent shape for its age that sold for only $1050!

Lol

I was about to tag you when I read his post.

@Sam Harris, that's an ingenious idea!
