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

[Teamiez]

Today I finally installed my Boost Auto wireless charging pad. I wasn’t planning on getting this since I have wired, rather than wireless CarPlay on my receiver. Well, this pos iPhone, just like my last one, started failing to connect & charge, using the port like it’s supposed to, so I said flock it, and bit the bullet.. easy, and clean install. Happy with it.

Have you tried to clean out the port with a tooth pick or compressed air? Every few months mine starts to act up & it’s crazy how much pocket lint gets stuck in there. If you have a good apple store or wireless dealer by you they can clean it the ‘proper way’ as well for free if they are nice enough. Tooth pick usually works though.

That’s what I always had to do. Now I use a wireless charger on my nightstand and i just toss the phone on there every night. A full charge lasts all day for me and when I’m driving the phone stays in my pocket. Wireless CarPlay FTW.

Same, not sure how some people are glued to the phone 24/7. This is the most ‘social media’ I use here unless YouTube counts!

I just don't understand why you would drill holes into a perfectly good center console. Why don't u pack it up and ship it down to the Htown....

I added a dash mounted phone holder. No more watching the phone bounce to the passenger floorboard as soon as I leave the pavement! I know its not a big deal in the grand scheme of things but sometimes its the little things that can get under the skin. Anyone wanting to know more on it I posted it on the thread I made on the phone mounts See it here

Just a quick update. I applied the cerakote to my black trim March 13th. Still looks awesome. I can’t believe how long this stuff lasts, looks like I just did it still. Truck sits outside in Florida.

I notice it cleans real easy when I’m washing the truck too. Dirt slides right off.

Quick paint on my horribly weathered antenna. Probably shoulda done a little more prep and a better job.

The antenna looks perfect...... ( It's not as if it's a hood ornament )

A few years ago a carwash bent my rear wiper arm and I was surprised at how easy it was to replace. You might just want to buy a new OEM one and install it

Took the truck for a drive today and I heard a very low grinding noise. I thought it was the ds cv axle finally giving up the ghost. The boot has been torn for a few years. Got out and looked underneath, nothing jumped out at me, so I said F it. Drove it about 40 miles round trip. Seemed to be getting louder as I was getting closer to home. Got out and looked at the wheel and noticed the outer edge of the rotor was getting a little scored, so I thought maybe something with the brakes on that side. Get home and take everything apart.
I started moving the axle around and it started raining these bearings.
The rotor doesn't look too bad. I'm thinking I might be able to slap the brakes back together without having to clean up the rotor. Suggestions on that?
There's just a little bit of play.

This is when I put the wheel back on. Think there's 3 lugs holding it with them tight.

You can always put it together and see what happens, but depending on how many miles your rotor has, I'd probably lean towards getting it resurfaced at a local auto parts store before I reinstalled it.

I installed the brakes this summer. Has less then 1k on them.

You are so lucky that thing didn't separate

I agree. The outer ring of that inner bearing/race was stuck between the hub and nose of the axle. As soon as I pulled it out that's when all the bearings started dropping out.

That has a few more miles left in it!
