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

Just looked because I need one too. The part itself is $35 vs $54 on Amazon, but shipping on Rock is at least $9. Still comes out slightly cheaper on Rock.

that's a better price on Amazon than when I looked but my RockAuto price still beat that by $10...

Went to the pick and pull to get a rear HVAC case and a few interior pieces and come back with way more then planned. Picked up some Denali center console pieces to redo, a brake controller harness, owners manual and some other odds and ends.

Im the same way when I go to the Pick-N-Pull yard. I go in looking for one specific item, and end up staying there for over 2 hours pulling other random parts that I come across. Most recently, I pulled a towing hitch from a Chevy Traverse and installed it on my wife's Chevy Traverse. Does she need it? No, but its good to have if we ever want to attach a hitch carrier or bike rack or something, or even tow a small trailer. For $28 out the door, I couldn't pass it up.

Oh man, you nailed it! I could stay out there for hours and have to hold myself back, if I stumble upon a nice find. My wife thinks I'm crazy for it.

One cool thing I saw was a group of younger kids, probably around 18/19, get super excited when they stumbled up a 90's Chevy truck having what they needed to keep their truck running. I always hear the younger folks have no interest in autos so it was just nice to see.

My rear heater quick connectors were leaking so I went ahead and completed a backyard fix. Similar thing I did when my shorties were touching the aluminum heater line in the engine bay.
Dorman 800-419 × 2
1/2 inch heater hose.
Tubing cutter- i cut the rubber hose right next to the factory crimp.

Also added the PPV fans with 9/7 blades cause my factory fans finally went bye bye.

Just a "pro-tip" for doing the rear diff gasket. I replaced mine quite a few times and it kept leaking barely a month or two later. After someone on this forum (or it may have been another one that I frequent. I've slept since then, so I cant remember for sure) mentioned that I should try a "Lube-locker" brand gasket. It goes on COMPLETELY dry, no sealant, no RTV, NOTHING. And it's re-useable as well! I've already re-used it once and had zero issues. Hands down, its the best rear diff cover gasket that I have ever owned. Since I switched over to the Lube-Locker brand gasket I have not had any signs of a leak ever since.

Lube-Locker brand

Used these on my 1987 GN.
Zero leaks… Somewhat pricey, but worth it.

awesome thanks for the info, I used an oem gasket and just a little rtv on low spots/nicks
next time i'm in there i'll give that a shot, might also swap the cover to one with a drain fitting

for the last week or so i was getting a vibration from the right front, it was small and im only at 70 mph for like 1/2 a mile on the hwy when it would do it. today it felt worse. sadly had to work today, but only 1/2 day, so i rotated the tires in all of 15 minutes, both sides. still cant believe i did it that fast, even gave the front end a quick check over. no more vibration at all. front tires were cupped pretty good too. they were likely right about the 6,000 mile mark, when i normally do my rotations.

pro tip for those who may not know, with a 3 ton jack you can lift one whole side in the air with the jack on the frame between the doors. then swap front to back. repeat on the other side.
