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

[TheAutumnWind]

3/8 hose connected to a 5/8 hose running off the low pressure reutrn to a drain bucket. It works great and empties the power steering reservoir quick. Don't let it run dry or you mess up the pump.

Here's the write up on it.

Thanks. I think thats the way I did it last time. Having the writeup helps a lot.

There is another thread discussing this right now as well. It is common on these trucks for the rear to wear faster. Not really sure why, but multiple accounts of this finding. Mine too.

My 00 burb is the same way. Did rotors and pads on the rear last summer and have to do the rears again. Probably doesn't help that I drive it like a corvette 90% of the time

Found it.

rears on a 05 silverado 3500. they started to lightly squeal one day, next day full blown squealing. had to do emergency road side brake job while at lot of customers house.

all 4 rear pads, both sides the same little bit of meat left, didnt have a day left in them.

fronts had a full 1/4 inch left. this truck gets loaded up to 12,500 GW weekly and tows a 4,000 lb loaded trailer while loaded. you'd think the fronts would go first, but they dont.

One reason I put SS lines on the rear also. My truck never wore out the front pads and it is a 2000! They still had plenty of meat on them although not worn even.. The rotors were worn more than anything..I've only owned the truck for like 15years lol and it had about 250k miles on the fronts. They were just super hard I guess. I get about 100k miles out the rears.

After putting new R1 Carbon geomets on I could tell the rear was still grabbing harder as the material was more worn in the rear after bedding the brakes. It's weird but maybe it makes the truck more stable under braking. It feels that way.

Did you lube the pins? One side looks like it might be sticking--if those pads are from the same caliper--or might just need to get a rebuilt one.

Greased the pins after giving it a quick blast of air.

That’s almost how it went for me. One day a light drone and the next day, BOOM, full on grinding...

 

[dojrs]

not at all i just changed mine couple weeks ago just have to get round foglight housings

I think I’m gonna use square LEDs in the fog light holes and get the right plug to be able to use my factory fog light wiring and switches

 

[bottomline2000]

I just noticed that.

My fuse cover showed up. Should be a lot easier to get to cooling fan relays if needed. Of course the diagram doesn't match but the lids are interchangeable..

I installed mine the other day. It’s easier to get to the fuses and relays but not THAT easy. The fender brace is still in the way a bit. At least I can open it up and LOOK at them lol. Better than not even being able to see them at all. I can prolly get to most of them in a pinch now.

Replaced driver side seat bottom! Didnt have to take the whole seat out like I originally thought. Bottom cover bought off ebay

Gf had a big scare today. It's been raining all day here, and she doesn't like how the 22's ride in the rain, while getting on the on ramp for the pkwy the rear broke loose on the Hoe and she spun out, completely around. She was facing oncoming traffic, the wrong way. I wasn't with her, but she said she doesn't know how no one hit her. Luckily she was able to pull onto the shoulder, the correct way. I came and she drove my van home, while I drove the Hoe home. Needless to say she wants the 17's back on. At highway speeds, in the rain-it did feel a little loose. Took the back roads home and it felt fine. Luckily there wasn't any damage to her or the Hoe. Funny, she said she hit the curb, but there wasn't any shaking or anything else that I saw or felt.

So went to pick up dinner on Friday after work. When walking back to the truck I noticed a pick puddle under the driver side bumper. Damn radiator split on the plastic and was spraying out coolant, luckily I was only a few minutes from the house. Picked up a a/m radiator on Sat and replaced it this morning, not to bad just was fighting with the lower shroud removing and putting it back on.

On/off ramps will get you. Did that in like the first year driving. Scared the shit out of me. Burb shutoff at some point in the 360 spin. Didn't hit anything but I learned my lesson

She was only going around 20, it's a sharp curve.

Shouldn’t be any traction problem with 22’s as long as the tires are good. I could see it with 26’s but 22’s?

Tires are in good shape--better in the rear.

What brand tire? My truck has 24s and is pretty stuck in the rain. Maybe they are drying out and getting hard?
