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

[owl_93]

I should have purchased uca ball joints and bushings. Damnit. That would put me around $100. I got moog end links on Amazon. Much cheaper on rockauto.
This is the hd version with poly bushings $11

Wouldn't you like to have longer links with your lift? ~2" longer links would probably be ideal.

Thanks again. I should replace both end links anyway since one is missing. But I want to make sure I have a OEM + 2" size replacement. I like Moog parts so I want to go that route.

Gentlemen I had to drop in and ask this question. i bought moog end links from oreillys myself! I have the 2" drop spindle on my 2000 lt 4wd......do i need to cut the sleeves for a better ride is my question?

Did the 6 high mod[emoji106]

Got volunteered to do some offroading for a SAR drill. Many trees. Pictures to come. Good thing a roof repaint is en route. Most of these scratches are compoundable though, so should be fine.

Washed and detailed in and out....filled her up too. I miss the old days when there was a 10 cent difference between all fuel grades. Now its like 50-60 cents higher for Premium.

Probably not a bad idea.

I have installed Gabriel Max Control monotube shocks all around. I purchased them for MUCH less than a set of bilstein shocks.

I have Bilsteins on my lifted Jeep Commander and I can say that the bilsteins control the ride better, but the max controls are a bit smoother ride. Completely different vehicles, with different suspension setups but that is my un scientific opinion in case anyone is wondering.

Huge improvement in ride over blown air bags.

I still have ball joints, pitman/idler arms, and sway bar bushings to do. Sway bar bushings and end links made a big difference on my Jeep, hopefully the same will happen here as well.

Got the HD style mirrors on. They have taken a few days to get adjusted properly but I love them. They completely eliminate the blind spots I noticed on the OEM mirrors.

The best part by far is the folding feature, even though its manual. It's also nice that these mirrors don't look like black ribbed condoms..

Did the HD bumper cap and grill today. Also ditched the DRL's and converted them to turn signals/running lights to match the outer ones, and installed LED's in all of them. Just waiting on the bowtie now. I might get a cowl hood eventually, but not an HD hood, I don't like them.

Looks good man

Thanks! I'm not far from you, I live near Arkansas and Little Rd. Are you north or south of 20?

 

[YukonXL04]

Oh wow. Not far at all. I'm just south of 20 on Kelly elliott.

 

[Grimes]

Oops.

Exhaust resonates around shift, can't seem to pinpoint an RPM. The resonating is a "pinched" sound. Its not awful, someone wouldn't notice it if they didn't drive it for a few years then have a sudden change, but I certainly notice it. Any suggestions? Haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.

Nice. Like that stance.

i have djm lca with bilstien shocks up front. It better due to the fact the steering isn't so soft anymore. Before wheel would shake and move a lot more then it does now. I noticed the difference right away which helps with the ride. Also tracked better not all over the place when I hit bumps because there was resistance on the wheels now. Before my wheel was soft easy to move. Way better now. Hope you follow that lol.

awesome. im ordering the resistors today. i did some research though and found the message will still be up if the compressor is unplugged. my compressor is sitting in a landfill somewhere. any idea which wires to use from the compressor harness to install a resistor there?

 

[owl_93]

Finally got her back from the shop. I removed my single row 20" led bar and replaced it with a 21" double row Amber/White bar. Really happy with the result. I have it angled higher up than the bumper flood and lower than the roof hyperspot.

 

[05Yukon23]

Cleaned up the front valance and painted black, new fogs installed, tires came in the mail and TPMS sensors. Now waiting for Friday so I can get the tires mounted and balanced. Also installed a button so that my backup can comes on whenever I push it without shifting into reverse.

No oil psi on oil psi gauge. Replaced oil psi sensor. I then found a quarter size section of paint gone on my roof. Son of a *****!!!!

I replaced my rear window wiper arm since the original was chipped, weathered, and had lost spring tension. Super easy replacement - it only took me about 5 minutes.

Transmission Cooler

Installed a Haden 405 Transmission cooler today.

Lets start if I measured first before what would fit easy that would been the smart thing to do.

I end up Ordering a Haden 405 cooler the larger one hey I figured there was going to be enough room LOL.

My Yukon has the Tow package on it and it has the Factory Trans cooler already.

The plan was to Piggy back the new one after it ran thought the OEM cooler.

I was planning to mount the new cooler to the right side of the OEM cooler Not going to happed the New one was to large to make this work.

I end up moving the OEM to the Right side and placing the New one in the center where the OEM was mounted.

I had to Fab up mostly all new mounting points and modifying the stock ones to get every thing to work it was a 4 Hour job.

But every things works fine now.

If I use the right size from the get go It should been a hour job at the most.
