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

[Sam Harris]

Are those the ones I sold you Sam or did you end up buying new ones?

Yup, these are the Machine’s old calipers..! Thanks again Mark! I’ll probably replace them with powder coated next time.

Awesome, glad to see they’re still around!

Heck yeah! I’m really impressed with the GMT900 upgrade, combined with the stainless calipers. Kicks ass. I know they’re nothing like your Wilwoods, but I am unlikely to spend 5 grand on them. Maybe $1k after all is said and done. [emoji16][emoji106]. (Yea, I just went and looked them up... man they’re purty...) [emoji3166]

I suppose when I have the funds to do a SC, that will “necessitate” the Wilwoods... [emoji6][emoji631]

Just cause all the positive rave about it. Cheap enough to buy plus I'm sure the bigger wheels on the truck adds stress to gear box. The way I see it, it will only prolong the life of all the new chassis I just installed.

Which kit did you go with? Why was it a pita? I ask because I was thinking about doing it too. Feel any improvement?

Hell yes!

Drove it for a few errands, then ran some evap tests with the Tech 2 when I got home. I've not had any frequent problems, just the "tighten gas cap" message twice, but not recently. Wanted to run some Tech 2 tests to get familiar with what to expect.

KYB SS15326

In the last 3K miles I have replaced
Inner/outer tie rods
Pitman arm
Idler arm and bracket assembly
Gear box
Front KYB shocks

My steering felt great already and I have lifetime alignment at Firestone so it would get checked after I installed every round of parts. I dont know that I feel much difference but I have only driven it on small streets under 40 MPH. No highway driving yet. I still have moog uppers arms and lower balls joints and new sway bar links that I should be installing soon.

Nice. Def gotta post what you think at higher speeds.
@Rocket Man, what's your take on this kit? Worth it? Felt a noticeable difference with it?

In my quest to appease the fuel vapor nazis.. er, the eh CEL P0455.. I replaced the vapor purge valve solenoid today. AC Delco part of course. Man, this intake is embarrassingly dirty. I think I need a need a TBSS, or NNBS intake to replace it.. [emoji3166]... but in the meantime, hoping this settles the CEL down and I don’t have to go further with the more fun parts replacements.

Hopefully just the purge solenoid. For sure Mark's SC would dress up that engine bay nicely...
