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

[TollKeeper]

A ride on blown rear air bags is terrible that’s for sure. Glad it’s all working good.

Its just weird how it comes off big bumps in the road. The old Z55 system would over-rebound, and then settle down. These Magnarides just stop at regular ride height, no rebound. Its a feeling I have never had before.

DeWalt makes great cordless tools, it was our shop’s choice. They actually decided to buy all Bosch to replace them with when they started wearing out but that stuff isn’t near what DeWalt is. They ended up going back.

I am Dewalt fan but I been cheating on the brand after I bought a Milwaukee setup during Christmas at home depot. Now I have a 3/8 drive Milwaukee ratchet and the 1/2 impact gun, both in non fuel and I love them both!! I'm sure the fuel models have more to offer but I don't need them. My air tools are easily available in the other drawers. I was pleased with the performance on the Milwaukee 1/2 impact gun. Removed my wheels lugs easily with no issues

Yep that's the other really good brand, can't go wrong with either.

I'll be calling my station before I make the trip. Last time I went I was stymied and very disappointed!

Just topped off with E85 a minute ago. They seem to have it about 50% of the time now.

Applied Cerakote to the cowl, painted the wiper arms on The Beast.

Looks like crap. Post address and place at curb so I can assist in disposing of this junk. Coming from Houston so don't wait up!! Hahaha!!
I'm jelly, my back wiper has the typical white mark where the paint is gone. It's on the to-do list, way at the bottom!!

 

[Rocket Man]

Washed it today.

Looks great! What is the process like for applying the Cerakote.

I washed the parts with blue Dawn, rinsed and let them dry thoroughly and then wiped with denatured alcohol and a dry cloth. You have to wear rubber gloves when applying the Cerakote. Also, you need to work fairly quickly because it starts to dry after awhile. The most important thing is make sure there's no water present or it will be splotchy.

Yeah, I have nothing bad to say about Milwaukee. I'd take either one based off price. They're both great tool manufacturers.

Looks good, the pieces I did cerakote on STILL looks awesome (what 3 or 4 months now?!). Damnit, I keep forgetting to paint the wiper arms, thanks for reminding me

Here's a bunch of mods I've done over the last month or 3.

Front-side window tint. Local tint shot wanted $180 to do the front sides. I ended up getting some pre-cut tint off Amazon for $40 and installed it myself. Came out great.

Under hood LED lighting with a manual switch. I don't care for the hood-actuated switches.

Transmission cooler. Tru-cool 40k.

LED bulbs all around, and here is the load resistor to prevent hyper-flash.

 

[Logan5]

And lastly, in another post since there seems to be a 5-image limit to a single post...

All-on high beams. The fuse-box drop-in circuit.

Also I did the auto-fog on by jumping A5 and B2 at the under dash connector.

Looks like you spaced it off the surface. You'll get better heat dissipation if you mount it flush on the metal surface. Just a tip, not necessary, but the resistor may last longer.

Yeah I mounted them flush to a metal surface in the front, but in the back that's the plastic taillight housing and I spaced it to prevent it from melting the plastic.

I really like what you did with the underhood lightning. It's different. Did you use Eagle Eyes?

I wouldn't worry, it's fine since the whole thing is wrapped in a heatsink unlike the regular wire-wound resistors that are sometimes used.

Yup, the 23mm bright white ones. They are angled slightly outward to get full coverage. Those things are nice and bright, but the wires are so thin wiring them up takes a little finesse.
