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

[Rocket Man]

Today I changed my oil and that gave me the chance to install my Femco oil drain system. And immediately I spotted a problem- since our oil drain plug is on a vertical instead of horizontal plane, the drain tube sticks straight out instead of going down into the drain can. So... I found a PEX elbow laying around and made a correction. Now I have to wait until next oil change to try it out. The filter will still make a mess when removing it, but hopefully the oil itself will be easy and less messy to drain.

Here's a thread I have seen pop up regarding the corvette servo question. There are a couple more.

Here's a link to the place where a lot of guys get the actual part needed. The link in the first thread is inactive.

Install instructions with pics from that thread as well.

What's the deal with the one that has the longer pin?

Im pretty sure Certain years have certain ones. I don't know for sure on the rest of that.

Looks like they are both supposed to fit the same application.

Don;t know which one to get though. The longer pin or just without it

Changed my oil, diff fluid, discovered a leak somewhere in my windshield wiper fluid reservoir, so I'll do some investigating some time tomorrow, my LED bars will be in tomorrow as well, so I'll be taking apart my fog light housing to try and fit them in there.
Ordered my Black Depo projectors, DDM 35w Hids, error code cancelling(just in case) and black Depo corner lights, I think they'll go great with the whole idea I have working, I like the amber corner portion... Reason being is I actually like the look of the factory tails on my white and black Tahoe.

Error code cancelling ?

 

[nharkey85]

Not needed on gmt800 platform.

Newer vehicles have systems that will indicate if headlight is blown. Swapping to led/hid typically triggers that warning due to lower amp draw. That error code cancelling plug in prevent that

So a relay harness ?

I just disabled auto headlights and my ballasts quit blowing. No relay needed on mine.

Windshield wiper fluid reservoir's tend to leak. Mine has never held fluid...

Mine leaked after I trimmed through the wheelwell liner with a sawzall.

 

[DarkBlueHoe95]

Finally picked up and installed z71 rear springs. Gave me roughly 2 inches of life. Ride is much more enjoyable now being a bit more firm. Just need new shocks and sway bar end links and I'll be good to go. Also need to reaim my headlights, they are printed straight at the ground.

Pics don't do the change justice

Mine never have. I run 55w though

 

[OhFourChevy]

Thanks! I don't think it should make a difference too much between the 35w and 55w and ballast life

Mine never have. I run 55w though

I'm only on my second set of HID's and the first ones lasted 6 years, might be a case by case problem from one truck to another

What kit do you use?

 

[nharkey85]

It's an add on harness, but not the main power relay harness. It's vaguely similar to installing load resistors on led turn signal bulbs.

Like the anti flicker capacitors that some companies offer.

I used cheep HIDs and I have transferred then three times. The taho is the third. They must be at least 6-7 years old by now. Still no problems and no harnness. I wonder if it's brand specific for these problems. I never expected mine to last this long and still be bright.
