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

[TogaPC]

Why did you park it ? And what all did you fix to bring her back to life ?

Long story short, about 18 months ago I turned the key and nothing happened. It needed about $1,500 worth of work and after about 3 hours trying to fix it and just gave up. I have been driving what was supposed to be my wife's new Jeep since then. For whatever reason this weekend I just got an itch and started working on it again.

Back in the day, I tapped into the wires for the XM radio to use them for an Aux in for my cell phone. Evidently, a wire had worked it way loose back there and disabled the starter circuit. I'm guessing it has something to do with OnStar. Anyway, fixed the wire and it fired up like a champ. After half a day in the shop to get the rear axle bearing and seal assembly replaced and another $450 at AutoZone for front hubs and rotors and pads all around, she's like brand new...ish.

Well if it's still like the photos it's a nice looking hoe. Glad to see you got it going and back enjoying it. Don't know what it is but I love driving mine too. Allways puts a smile on my face

Ordered and received the high pressure line for my future upgrade of the brake system to Hydroboost, now to start collecting the more expensive items to make it all happen!

Does your Denali not already have it?

View attachment 65810 Washed and tried out the new buffer for the wax job. I think she turned out better than doing it by hand and took away some more scratches and stone chips that were not through the clear. Over all a WIN
Also got the 22"s back on but didn't get to drive fast enough to see if they fixed the balance.
Now looking at this picture I have to darken up the head lights and fog. I think I am going to try the rustolim coating. I have a old set of lights I am going to practice on.

Buy black housing headlights and corner lights for like $70.... Don't go and spray tint/paint your lights. Ghetto

Thanks man.

What year are the Wheel, and what are the off of? Also what size tire did you get? I really like that look!

Thanks! I believe the wheels came off of a 2013 Yukon SLT. My tires are 265-70-17. I wanted 285's but I'm not sure if I'll lift it and I was afraid they might rub.

Went to the KBPI car show at Bandimere yesterday.
I didn't plan on racing but I got bored and decided to pay the $3 to see what it can do in the 1/4.
It ran 17.4 @ 82mph lol

Dude you need to talk to Justin at BlackBear. Last time i ran the quarter mile i pulled mid 15's. Were you pulling a trailer down the track?

I guess I'll keep posting every day I do something to my Hoe.

Yesterday I got her inspected and registered and then my wife and I changed the oil and replaced the front wheel hubs, rotors and pads. I guess it was time since the hubs and rotors were both original equipment with 155,000 miles on them.

This morning I woke up early and cleaned up the interior a bit. It still smells like old man farts in there but it's getting better. Planning on replacing the rear rotors and pads today.

I still need to replace the A/C compressor and associated parts. The water pump squeaks occasionally so I'm sure it needs to be replaced. While I'm in there, I should probably replace the timing chain. The hood has a nasty ding that needs to be fixed. The grill needs to be replaced. The fog light housings need to be replaced. It's probably time for new shocks, ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman and idler arms also.

It's going to be a long road but I'll eventually get her back where she needs to be.

Sound like you have a long road ahead, but have a solid game plan! I vote HD front end swap since the hood needs replaced as well as the grille.

I may be the odd man out here but I don't really care for the HD front end on these trucks. I may go with a cowl induction hood though. That's a long way off.

I agree. Maybe 10 years ago HD hood and front end was a cool swap but now played out.

I want this hood^

That one isn't bad but I have always wanted this one.

Paint the cowls black with a thin black stripe around them. Slick!

Looks good. I agree with @massivespl. Truck is looking good, maybe show off the front end a little more with some upgraded headlights and bumper lights. Plenty too choose from. Happy with my Depos too.
