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

[MadDogDelpho]

Went to hit my parking brake release today, and the line snapped. Un-frickin-believable. after much swearing and gnashing of teeth, along with the realization the some water had gotten into the cab from the storm, I finally figured out how to release it. $50 later i was able to get the new part, but with the weather I'm not sure when I can install it. Pretty damn frustrating.

Scored an Escalade ESV roof rack for $100.

Please forgive my ignorance, but how is the ESV's rack different than the Chevy/GMC one?

Got the throttle body replaced--again. I'm hoping this does the trick this time. Runs great, sounds even better. View attachment 182012 View attachment 182013 View attachment 182014

Did the first one get replaced under warranty?

I reinstalled my HIDs in the low beam/projectors, and moved my LEDs to the high beam locations.
I like the pattern the LEDs make in the high beams much better than in the low beams.

I forgot how much I liked the look of the HIDs in the projectors...

I like how smooth of a beam the HIDs seem to make in the projectors.

Here is the LEDs in the driver side, and the HIR 9011 bulb in the passenger side:

I'm pretty sure the HIR 9011 is brighter, but I like how the whiter look of the LEDs projected down the road.


These were before I got them aimed correctly, but you can see the HID projector low patterns vs. the LED non-projector high beams at about 25-30 feet from the wall:

I never use my parking brake.
Snapped parking brake line is a common issue with the nbs.

 

[Rocket Man]

Yup.

Curious-what brand was it?

 

[M3kanic]

What parking brake. Between Hawaii, upstate New York and being shipped all over the world all of the hardware holding the parking brakes on the axle rusted and stripped out.

Longer, fits the xls and burbs

 

[M3kanic]

It's chrome and fits tight to the roof

It's a Cardone. He says he has had good luck with them.

Force of habit. Most of my friends don't, either. I'm honestly surprised it lasted 15 years lol.

Actually, being in the salt and stupid northeast snowbelt i have found that using the ebrake (making sure i always keep all parts lubed) keeps it free and all parts moving for tge tome you really need to use it. Ive never had one break, lock up or freeze on me yet...

Also I'm considering pulling my spring spacers out and going down about 2 inches, basically leveled stock. It'll kinda tuck the 33s and I think it'll look good, just concerned about rubbing more on my stock offset 285/70R17s. I already rub a tiny bit in the rear when the truck is angled, thinking I might want to put some spacers on to help with that and widen out the stance, stabilize it a lot.

What kind of spacer are they?
