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

[HiHoeSilver]

GMT 900's?

Gmt900 front, gmt800 rear. Geomet drilled /slotted with their new optimum OEp pads. Memorial day 15% sale. Red powdered power stop calipers coming from rock. Goodridge 6 piece stainless lines. Still in the debate over the hard lines. It just seems a little daunting if a job. That and the debate over stainless from Inline tube or the new Nicopp lines.

900/800- best of both worlds. Unless you want to go Wilwoods lol. Hard lines huh? Glad I don't live in the part of the country where rust is a problem; I didn't have to worry about that. The rest of it is pretty damn easy though.

I want to do this soon. Let me know how it goes. The GMT900 upgrade for the front is new calipers, caliper brackets and rotors, right?

Yessir. I did it on mine, along with the braided ss hoses. Made a noticeable difference for sure.

my brothers got the brake up grade on his yukon. i just bought my hoe back in dec. it needed brakes real bad, right then was the time to do it, but being i just spent thousands on the truck alone, i figured id just see how it went with R1 rotors and pads all around with stock equipment.

i put R1's on everything now if i got the time to order them. had em for 3 years on my regal now, (its got a upgrade, 00-02 camaro front calipers and rotors) just did a r1 pad swap, all 4 rotors still smooth as the day i got em 3 years ago. ( r1 pads are rather cheap too) and im not nice to that car really, its my race toy, so go fast and then jam on the brakes often.

once again they perform great, truck stops on a dime and gives back change. dont think ill be doing the up grade on this truck at all.

being we got a dual piston caliper up front already, all your getting is a larger rotor for the upgrade really.

my regal was a single piston caliper up front, swapping to the dual piston f body caliper and 12 inch rotor really made a huge difference on the regal.

had to head off to work after food shopping to finish a carb swap on a old ass tiller, anyways, i took a fender flare and laid it up to the truck, and its damn close. definitely needs to be wet sanded tho. cant wait.

also noticed theres no holes in these, so looks like ill have to drill my own holes for the wheel well and buy push clips to hold em on as well.

Larger rotor and pad, more contact area. The calipers are bigger too obviously and have bigger pistons. I figure if I'm already buying new rotors and pads, the only cost to doing this upgrade is the calipers. I got mine for about $35 each when AC Delco was having a sale on remans. So for $70 it was a cheap upgrade.

im not saying they wont feel/work better, im sure they help a ton for stock wheels or even for those with larger wheels or tires as well.

i went back and fourth in my head, figured id save the money.....granted that 70 bucks is cheap. i was already a grand deep in quick parts right after buying it. so a 8 k hit was slowing me down some, paid cash, no payments or nothing to slow the funds down from being recouped. thats always nice.

 

[04Huck]

First ever clay bar for this truck. Tried out the Mother’s synthetic clay thing. Seems to have worked pretty well.

Following up with some chemical guys stuff. Turns out, my Walmart stocks some of their stuff

No payments is almost like money back every month. Nice.

i did payments on two brand new gmc trucks back to back, payments for 10 years. im so over it. ill buy used and be happy. its a fight to find something decent for sure. it took me over 6 months of actually looking, and another 6 months before that seeing whats out there and how much id need to have to get what i wanted.

most of what was out there was high miles, brown tranny fluid inside trashed, door dinging up to hell and back and so on, all beat up good if under 10k.


add the fact i was being picky about the color didnt help either, it had to be blue or red. close to a 100,000 miles, and not a denali awd. crazy but those are the cheapest out there for sale here. the 800's all go for 6 or less. wonder why lol im just not into that awd and its failures.

the one i got was listed for 8500, with 121,000, its tranny fluid was red like new, no leaks, and inside mint other then a tear in the d/s seat. i got that down to 6500, then tax tags and bs 7200 out the door.

i feel i got over on the guy some, it was a small lot that only had high end cars, bmw's and the likes, all 30k cars for the most part, no idea wth he was doing with a tahoe on his lot.

That' a good deal. I got mine with 99k on it for about 9k I'm happy it was a little more than what i wanted to pay. It it was the lowest mileage and best condition truck I could find in the area. That and my tahoe had 250k on it and this one was a denali so I got the awd I wanted and the 6.0l I'm haply

Trade in probably.

 

[Scottydoggs]

Trade in probably.

id put money on a trade in, then sold at a auction to the dealer i got from. came from PA made it to NJ.

its a one owner truck too. also kinda hard to find.

where they slacked off on some maint, they must have kept up with the oil changes, cause the oil on the dip stick is still new looking after a couple thousand miles ive maybe put i on it. it might be only a 1000. i literally drive no where. and its parked all week, i drive it on sundays now to the supermarket, regal gets better mpg on the short trip to work.

what year is yours? thats about what a low mile yukon /tahoe loaded would go for easy. if in damn good shape inside and out.

i was also only looking at 04/05 trucks. talk about being a picky sob lol

i got a guy in my building here with a denali, this guy must have a monthly car wash pass, he keeps it spotless year round. ive also touched it walking by, the paint is as smooth as if it had just been polished.

30 years ago id have stolen his bumper covers already, its a color match lol

note that oil leak tho, rear main leak hell. in sure hes gotten a quote for that job already and figured oil is cheaper lol

 

[08grey]

Got my first nbs today.
Hopefully I can do a build thread. She is a 04 with 148k. My wife's new truck.

I did the ABS module to rear axle brake line today. Never. Again. Still need to tighten up everything and bleed the brakes.

The Dorman line fits pretty well. Not perfect bends in some areas so it didn't snap into the clip, but it doesn't touch anywhere on the body. Don't want to do the rest, so I'll most likely have a shop do the front ones.

Washed her up today, but I didn't even bother drying her up since it's gonna rain all night and tomorrow.View attachment 200229
@05Single look what's happening to the dip!View attachment 200230

Wth, I've never seen dip do that before. Just that one side ?

Yeah, it happened when the trans line let go and sprayed hot trans fluid all over the place. Lucky me.
