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

[Rocket Man]

That's for sure on my todo list! Looks great! Can you feel any improvements?

I haven't driven it anywhere but around the block. Thinking I'll test them out more tomorrow.

Swapped out the oil pressure sensor and then Met @Justin with Black Bear and got the Yukon tuned! Absolutely love the drivability now, So much smoother all around. Now I see what all the hype was about, well worth the money and 3 hour drive to get to him today. Wife took this picture from the back seat while Justin did his thing.

Justin...the man, the myth, the legend...kinda reminds me of Tim the Toolman's neighbor Wilson on Tool Time.

Got the new radio, backup cam, Bluetooth mic wired and installed. Took a BUNCH of pictures, Inc later.

Still having an issue with the head unit doing the Bluetooth calling. Bluetooth audio works great, but calls are in some sort of forced privacy mode. I'm sure it's a setting somewhere, I just haven't found it.

It's a pioneer 3800bhs for reference.

So far, I like it a lot, although I haven't had enough time to learn how to do quite everything.

For functionality, I don't think spending a few hundred more dollars for a newer one is worth is, at this one essentially has the same feature set as newer models, until you get into the Apple iCar or whatever, or android auto. I didn't need one with navigation because this one links to my phone via its app, to put Google maps on the stereo display.

Backup camera works great, wasn't hard to run wires at all. Took most of all day yesterday from beginning to end, no but it was worth it for a job well done

All I need is something that's double din, aux input, Bluetooth, but to keep steering wheel controls and some other things I'll need a few harnesses

Cranked the keys. Six turns each side. Got me 1/2", front sits at 32 1/2" each side, but those damn bump stops are still squashed.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Just trying to get opinions : how do the sway bats look? Ends are too high?

Yes, I know I need to do the end links. Think they need to come down some? Took the pics after finishing the cranking of the keys.

You need to keep cranking the keys up. It doesn't look like you got anything close to 1/2" (it probably settled back down) and you seriously need to get some of the pressure off those jounce stops. I doubt your torsion bars are doing much, looks like the jounce stops are doing it all and that's got to be a bad ride. I wouldn't fix the swaybar end links until you get it riding right so you can get the ride height set first then measure for the end links. Still rides like crap I bet, doesn't it?

I like the current rims better too. Nobody said staying fresh and clean was easy lol

I too like the current ones. I'm a fan of deep dished wheels. If they both were then maybe the new ones. Multi spoked wheels are a pain to keep clean..

Side note: Maguire`s hot rims can make cleaning chrome wheels a breeze. The acid based version works well but do not leave it on for more than 15 seconds...literally..

I jacked it up, used Jack stands, let it rest on the stands then cranked rack adjusting but the same amount of time on each side, let it down, took it for a ride around the block, then measured it again. I did that three separate times. Doing all that got me 1/2" out of it. I'm sure it still rides like crap. I didn't want to crank it up too much, I like a little bit of rake to it.

I don't think I've seen used ones for sale ever, they're too hard to install that they never come back off. Unless the truck gets totaled I guess. Good luck though @Tonyrodz !

I know, the quote came out wrong. I was trying to quote @Tonyrodz saying he was looking for used ones.
