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

[Alex_M]

I did something I normally don't do - I hired a mechanic. Changed the oil pump o ring in the Tahoe for me. Also did lower ball joints in one truck, passenger ball joints in another truck. They'll be coming back to do driver ball joints and swap axles in my primary work truck from 3.73 to 4.10. Just too backed up with electrical work, haven't been able to touch the fleet myself.

He didn't really kill it on time, or quite follow my directions in terms of order of priorities, but at least some stuff is getting done.

Picked up some ditch light brackets for a set of 3” LED lights that were sitting around collecting dust..

Mock-up pictures attached.
Not necessarily sold on this mod….
Looks like there will be interference w/ antenna when raising the hood.

I sat in the driveway today on a chair and stared at my Tahoe today. Does this count?

Mainly I was wondering if there was a decent brake master cylinder upgrade on the hydroboost setup. Cant seem to find anything searching the forums or google. Ugh.

If you haven't yet done the NNBS front brake upgrade, I hear that it's the way to go. I'll be doing mine when it comes time.

I did last year. Felt worse after I did. Even with the SS lines. But I think the MC was going out when I did so it’s why I didn’t feel a difference. Now it’s leaking, so time to replace. Just not sure what brand replacement to go with

Took it for a balance/rotate, alignment, and new spare. That thing is original (2004) and only used once in 2006. Don't want to get stranded with a bum spare.

They scratched/gouged the crap out of my wheel (2019 Silverado take-offs from BIL new) when removing the stick on balance weights so I took it back. They want me to take it to a wheel repair place and let them know how much it will be. I guess that's reasonable?

Just ordered some "wholesale closeout" Monroe Nivomats from RockAuto. $450 shipped. Hoping my cheapness doesn't hurt me as it usually does.

Edit: they just shipped and say arrival tomorrow. wow.

Did you buy the SS line kit for the NBS or NNBS truck? I'm doing this same upgrade right now actually and didn't know which lines to get.

Removed all door trims, greased the electric windows, and rust protected the doors from inside.

I got the Goodridge 14196 Brake Line kit. Ordered it off Amazon. Have to check the code in your glove box I think to see which lines you need. This kit iirc is NBS. In the swap I think only thing you change for the NNBS upgrade is the front Rotors, pads, Calipers. The rears stay the same.

And the caliper brackets need to be changed.

Forgot about that. I did the Powerstop kit so it came with it.

Was noticing some odd noises that seemed to be exhaust related.Decided if I was replacing it, might as well give it a little more kick. Was missing the FM Super 50 sound my old Tahoe had. Went with a “house” brand a local shop recommended. Very similiar sound. Hear it when you get on it, but very little drone while cruzing.

I drove from Virginia Beach, VA to Ashland, VA to meet my daughter for her birthday lunch. Round trip around 230 miles, lots of traffic and a good pace between 70 & 75. My 2001 Tahoe performed as well as ever with a new radiator, thermostat, hoses, belts, tensioners and water pump. I am the original owner and wanted to get some of the spring preventive maintenance done early to test drive it for the summer vacation travels.

We spent 10 years in Virginia Beach - just off Independence Boulevard. Our three daughters were born in three different hospitals. Portsmouth, Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Loved our time there.

Ac blower motor starting knocking after I replaced a failed resistor

bought new resistor and fan, oem
spliced into wires as I read a lot of the connectors go bad over time

works perfectly now

After 2 fails apiece at the GMC dealer and Chevy dealer and them first claiming it wa good to go, then blaming my new tires (I also swapped those around too!) I decided to do the ole fishing line, jackstands and a ruler alignment. What’d ya know, now the steering wheel isn’t crooked and it doesn’t drift left anymore. Ridiculous. Left front wheel was toed out. Assume the camber/caster were good enough- I mean they were green on the print outs

Yep, traffic really sucked. I used to head in very very early to NAS Norfolk to avoid some of that traffic. But we did enjoy our time there.

That looks great!

Today I greased my door control bands.

I had a squeaking on the rear driver's door for a long time. It didn't help.

Then I looked where it came from, and it was at the top of the door. So I treated the door seals with silicone spray. It didn't help either.

Then I saw that the upper edge of the door squeaks at the rubber on the roof end.

When I treated this with silicone spray, the squeaking was finally gone. Then I oiled all the locks and now I finally completely serviced my doors.
