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

[Tonyrodz]

Not today, but last week came out of work and spotted drips on the pavement under front end. Coolant! Overflow tank was almost empty. Drove around corner to Advance and picked up a jug and filled it. Made it home and the next evening put pressure on the system. Small crack in the radiator up high on drivers side just under the hose. New radiator from Napa installed and all good now!

Very common area to crack. Mine also cracked there.

I think you still have 2. Your manual controls have sliders correct? One slider for driver and one for passenger?

That is correct.

Not sure where to share product recommendations, but I finally found a great marker to mark driveshafts, etc ! I have relied on other types of markers such as whiteout ink, but this one tops it all in clarity. It works just like a crayon, but one made of solidified paint.

I have always wondered what they used to mark vehicles at Auctions, it has got to be this product (or similar) below

Amazon.com: Sakura Solid Paint Markers - Permanent Marker Paint Pens - Window, Wood, & Glass Marker - Yellow Paint - 1 Pack : Arts, Crafts & Sewing

Example below.. marked my greasy driveshaft effortlessly (Getting ready to replace transfer case output shaft seal on one of my clunkers)

Thanks for posting, did not know Dorman made metal ones. Wow Rock Auto is a lot cheaper than Amazon.

@DRLexpress, don’t forget about the extra 5% off at Rockauto using the code, “Preferred Vendor Sales” section under the “Site News” section at the top of this forum site for the code.

 

[DRLexpress]

Thanks for the info. Where do I find that code. I am scared to touch mine because they look original and not leaking. I had better get some on the way. RA lists both 800-413HP and 800-414HP for mine, I take it I need 1 of each.

Or click on this thread and go the last post you can find for a code that hasn't expired:

Rock Auto Discount Codes - Post 'em Here for Others to Use

Why is Rock Auto no longer in the vendors list?

Note that the OE tees have slightly different angles for the rear heat hoses. I don't know if Dorman has the same.

 

[Tahoe14]

Home page for this forum, top of the page “site news” then subsection “preferred vendor sales”. It will show the newest code on the last page, scroll through the section maybe the first page and it will show where to enter the code on Rock autos site.

Thanks guys.

Dang! "Doorman" stepping up their game!

I was actually thinking of replacing them on my 04 project suburban...I think I'll try these Dorman metal ones. Thanks for posting!

Gotta let us know how the quality and fit is--and if they're worth it.

Looks like they have two models as OE does. Intrigued, however I just bought GM tees a month ago to put in. Might still have to try these.



EDIT: For $45 on RockAuto - why not? I'll keep the OE in case they don't work out.

Replaced the parking brake release handle/cable on the wife’s 04 Yukon. Couldn’t locate a Gm original. Settled for some knockoff on Amazon. Seems decent. We’ll see how long it lasts.

At least it’s a simple job and when it fails you can still release it by hand fairly easily. These are the only things I don’t mind trying a cheaper alternative with.

I did the same with the hood release - no name on amazon was quicker.

The metal Dormans are $45 each?

I checked and they were around $17/$15 each on Rockauto.

I actually just ordered mine...

Enjoyed a nice day in North TX.

Changed 22 year old bulbs to LED…DRL, turn signal, backup, and brake lights. Installed a LED compatible flasher… without loosing a bunch of skin on the hands .. pleased with results; no hyper-flash… life is good.

In the process, broke and repaired mounting tab on tail light assembly.

$45 taxed and shipped for both.

My 99 Silverado has been leaking at the tailshaft extension housing since I swapped that transmission. I hate oil leaks. So today I went and bought a seal replacement. USPS was supposed to deliver my crankshaft seal for our 3.6 Pentastar minivan that's getting a wobbling harmonic balancer replacement...but of course, they are late. So I decided to paint my driveshaft to waste time... SMH
