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

View attachment 259567 View attachment 259568 for some reason, I'm guessing shortage. This just started happening. The driver side turn signal is dim and on constantly. It works normal when i use the turn signals, it does not flash rapidly as if there was a bulb out. I know this dim light happened once before and came back to normal the next day.

Guess I'll have to check all the wiring.

Fix that damn tpms too.

I'd change both front and rear blinker bulbs just because.

I decided to go ahead and “attempt” to paint the trim around 3rd brake light and Esky appliqués. I say attempt because I already know from previous try’s at painting that things never come out like they’re supposed to.

Trim by 3rd brake light

Passenger side applique

Driver side applique

Close up of driver side and the horrid job I did on my own!

Did you paint while there was a little wind ? What was the temp ?

Basically a hairline fracture but I I know eventually it’ll spread.

If you can't find another one cheaply enough, you can fix that one and have virtually no chance of the crack spreading or reappearing. First, determine some way to set up the piece where the portions on either side of the crack would be squeezed together (small blocks and clamps, stacked heavy books, etc.) and where it can remain undisturbed for a day or so until the epoxy cures. Drill a small hole (~3/32") at the farthest tip of the crack. This would basically create a deadhead for the crack so it wont spread any further. Then, epoxy it from the backside but with forcing epoxy into the crack. Set it up in your "jig" until the epoxy cures. Prime, sand and paint as needed.

If you have access to the back of it, get some Q-Bond and you won’t have to worry about it spreading. You can usually get it at most auto part stores.

I'll have to try this on my plastic wheelwell flare.

Check the lighting block connections for corrosion (it’s near the rear wheel wheel passenger side). Mine had green crap in one connection, and it caused all kinds of weird turn signals crap. Cleaned it off 4 years ago, fine since.

What's the best adhesive for repairing a screw tower on my switch bezel in the door panel? If I remember correctly the last time I tried, Super Glue didn't work. The plastic epoxy held until I tried to turn in the screw. Stupid that GM put a push clip on one end and a captive screw on the other.

Holy shit that is CLEAN

I did a thing today. I put some chineseum fogs in my bumper. I had read about it in the tech section I believe @Tonyrodz was the one who did the write up. I am pretty pleased given how I am such a little noob at these things. I fudged with the way the were pointing up/down/left/right for like 25 minutes still not totally happy. I only bled a little.




To anyone still reading this. Can someone tell me if this muffler would be a fit for my 04 Tahoe? I know someone would need to cut out and weld this in but are the offsets/general dimensions correct?

I have a terrible rattle coming from my muffler and it is driving me crazy. I spent like 30 minutes crawling around under my Tahoe today smacking things to see what it was. My stock exhaust is in surprisingly good shape but it has developed a nasty rattle in a heat shield that is kinda attached to the actual body of the muffler (attached to either end only on the side that lies against the underbody) it is splitting at the one end and the two sharp edges are rubbing together. I tried to bend so it didn't rub but I wasn't very successful. To be honest maybe I could cut it off? But its an excuse to get a new nicer sound muffler . I should have taken a picture of it to show you all.

The pictures are whack. I don't know why its posting this picture twice.. I tried to remove it.

that muffler should work

Q-Bond will probably work. Just make sure you use the reinforcing powder. You can use their super glue to hold it in place and then come back and reinforce it with the powder. Let me know how it works

Rock Hill... u?

Lexington. I'm up your way in Charlotte a good bit. Would love to check your truck out sometime.

 

[kly5953]

I went to pull a part and found a matching glove box, the rear pass door reflector, and came up with an A/C outlet cover for 17$
I never realized how difficult getting the new glove box in would be. That center console really shuts you down when you are trying to get the left side clips in place.
Now, I have a working glove box, no random hole in the rear door, and the dash looks better with that A/C cover.

I’ve been considering a move to NC. Got family and my old lady is up that way. Would definitely be nice to have hoe friends. Haven’t found anyone near ATL lol

That’s a bargain, can’t beat that price.

Probably going to try the Q-Bond. I'll clean it with acetone or MEK beforehand. The epoxy stuck pretty good but not good enough. I had to peel it off of the parts when I removed it, but it came off clean.

You’ll probably be OK with just acetone or isopropyl alcohol. MEK is pretty much just PVC cleaner. When you apply the liquid to the powder, you may see what looks like a little puff of smoke. It’s amazing how fast it hardens. After it hardens, you can sand or file it. If you’ve never used it before, it never hurts to practice on another piece of plastic first. Just remember to use the correct powder, one is for plastic and the other is for metal. Good luck and post some before and after pics.
