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

[00'BlueSteel]

You have a 7" spacer? The new springs should be much better.

Yep the Cognito rear kit for suvs comes with a 7” coil spring spacer. It bolts into the upper spring perch, basically just relocating the spring perch 7” lower.

Seems odd to run that much spacer. I guess it makes their kit a few bucks cheaper.

Yeah I didn’t really understand it either, but I wanted everything else that came in the rear kit. It’s like the only ones that actually comes with trailing arm relocation brackets to center the axle after lifting. And figured if I didn’t like the spacer I’d swap that out and maybe one of the guys in my area with half a lift kit will buy the spacers from me haha.

Yeah im surprised. Generally they make some of the best kits.

Guess everyone has to make their product to a price point.

Anyone ever clean their seatbelts? I realized that mine were supposed to be shale like the seats rather then brown...


Degreaser and pressure washer made a pretty big difference. You can see some 50/50 shots

@Fosscore did it with a bucket.

@Fosscore did it with a bucket.

im sure that would work. Soaking them and then scrubbing them? I just sprayed with degreaser and 5 minutes later hit em with the pressure washer. Didn't take much time at all.

Mine were probably way worse then most. The previous owner was female, dark complexioned, and in the fashion industry. I'm sure she hit up the makeup/lotion bucket a lot more then many people. Plus my interior is shale which is very light. Before and after was like night and day.

Amazing. So much better.

Got in it to take the kids to school this morning and KNEW the thing was going to give me a problem 'cause it was only 35* out (been going into REP mode when it's cold out), but figured I'd just let it idle until it's warm, then shut it off and try again... it's worked the other few days it's done it so why not, right?

No dice. Had to take the car instead. Then of course, this afternoon when going to pick them up, it cranked up and ran fine like nothing happened.

TPS looks like it's brand new. I'm about to pull the TB off and give it a good cleaning. Hopefully that will fix it, because at this point, I have no idea where I'm going to find that stupid APP sensor.

@ArcticYukon

So what's up? The engine goes into reduced power & you have a fault code for the accelerator pedal position sensor?

You said you don't know where to find a replacement part, what's the problem?

 

[Scottydoggs]

popped in a pair of coil spring air bags today. they certainly helped out with body roll.

also picked up a set of fender flares, they come black, i held one up there im not feeling it. gonna paint em body color once it gets warmer.

 

[MINIz guy]

Washed it again after the recent nor'easter. Hopefully the weather is nice from now on. The Tahoe definitely earned its keep this winter.

Couple little things. Pulled the roof rack off. Picked up a set of gmc 20s for 125 bucks. Swapped my good tires over to them. Also have a set of 2c drop spindles waiting to go on.

Great deal on the rims.

Yeah in a nutshell. Here's the kicker though.... only does it when it's cold out. Yesterday after the ouside temp got above 70, I drove it around all day long with no problem.

Gonna start working on that throttle body today though. Won't do anything to help the APP code, but it certainly won't hurt the problem.

@ArcticYukon

Eventually, the app will cease to function entirely. The ambient temp may contribute to the sensor operation at the present but 1 day it's going to quit at the worst possible time.

You are correct, spending time on the TB does nothing for the APP but I don't understand why you aren't repairing the problem. Is there not an auto parts store where you live? You could have ordered it on eBay or Amazon & had a new app sensor in your mailbox. I'm just not clear on that.

The app sensor went out on my truck, REP message, 1 fault code that I pulled for the app sensor. I bought a replacement sensor @ oreilly auto that night, along with a kit of security torx bits that have the indentation in the center -- removed the acc pedal, R&R the sensor, problem fixed.

My boss at work was trying to get me a replacement TB at first but I talked him out of that and my truck was parked on the lot next morning courtesy of pedal sensor per the DTC code.

Changed out my tensioner pulley. It was making some noise.

I also changed my rear door speakers. This whole time the stockers were still in it.

I had some Rockfords layinv around. Had to Mcgyver them a little.

 

[MINIz guy]

Clay bar'd and sealed the paint. It desperately needs a paint correction, but it's a daily so not sure how much more effort I'm going to put into it. The Pewter doesn't shine much more with a good sealant on it anyway.

Any of you guys here paint over chrome? I want to paint my wheels this week because the chrome is corroded and flaking and I don't like chrome.
