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

[95escahoe]

Had to replace the passenger's side headlight from when a towtruck driver "forgot" to chain down my ass end on a flatbed, and it slid forward when he went to stop. Grille cracked, and the headlight assembly broke. The owner of the garage was cool, got me a like-new assembly, a new grille shell, and a replacement set of 9006 LED headlights.

While I was swapping parts, I remembered that someone on here had disassembled their headlights, and popped the amber marker out. Since there isn't a light assembly behind it, I figured "why not?"...

Now I've got to look for the lower light assembly in an all-clear version, will find amber LED's to fit in them.... might even use some of the 18mm Blue LED's I have, put one in each corner where the amber lenses were.


EDIT:

thinking about clear lights, got searching E-bay - which do you guys think would look better?

Black housing/smoked lens?

Or black housing/ clear glass?View attachment 81779

Personally, I like the black housings.

Here's mine.

See I haven't got a clue what all needs to be replaced though. It might be both parts, which explains that price. I'm taking it to another mechanic tomorrow.

What do you mean, both parts? There's just one ABS control module; you just need the p/n off yours so you get the right one.

 

[M1Gunner]

what kind of paint did you use for that? I'm still trying to decide if I want to do that or not.

Honestly, I just used Plastidip. Everything else I used it on turned out damn good so I figured I'd give it another chance and it hasn't disappointed me yet! And it does hold up against pressure washing. Plastidip is a lot more durable than I thought it would be.

Like both 1 and 2. Added up it's kinda close to the price they said.

#1 is the modulator valve, not the ABS control unit. It seems like the mechanic would state he's replacing both parts. If it was me, I'd send the ABS module in to be rebuilt and see if it fixes it. Module Master has some troubleshooting steps you can take. You can also describe your problem and ask for guidance.

Got my 2" drop spindles today.

Now what do I do with my 2" drop keys? Crank them all the way up and install these? Would that work?

Those are nice! Glad I could help you spend some more money on you tahoe! LOL

It should work. The keys are 2" drop max, but I believe they can go back to near stock height. Or use the spindles and use the keys to drop another inch for 3" total.

All he said was ABS. He gave a note to my dad with the prices on it, and it only said ABS. Like I said, I plan on getting a second opinion on it. Getting it rebuilt might be a possibility, but I can't have her down for that long, unfortunately. It's not a good situation, no matter which way you slice it.

That really sux when you NEED to do something to the Hoe.

You can drive without the ABS module. I sent my daughters in and like they told me, it doesn't hurt the vehicle to not have the module and the ABS isn't working anyway so what's the difference. You can check with them but I'm pretty sure you can drive the hoe without the ABS module without any problem.

Hell yeah! Thx buddy.

I was bored, and went out at 2am to scrap the remains of the bumper stickers off, and polish the rear bumper on the Yukon XL.

It looks like they tried to use steel wool to remove the circular one. I just used my razor scraper and some goo-gone and they came off without any fuss.

Looks like I need to get another bumper sticker to put on this side, or just put the one I got over this spot.

Well in that case, that's a definite possibility. I assumed you couldn't drive without it. We'll see what the other mechanic says today.

Did this other day. Got my windows tinted last week. Now it looks like an ssv. No pics of tint though.

Dude, you can take your module off and the the abs fuse out and still drive it no problem. I used this guy and it took him maybe 2-3 days to get it back to me and it works perfectly now.

Good opportunity for color match!

@MadDogDelpho there you go buddy! This dude is cheap. And I forgot to tell you to pull your abs fuse. Way to go @Austinite !
