What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[avalonandl]

Operation Quiet Down is entering phase 2. My U channel weatherstrip for the leading edge of the rear door lower arrived on Saturday but it rained so much no chance to install. I will put it on today. Wish I had a DB meter so I could measure. the before and after. I have some dynamat I hope I dont have to use it. Its a pain pulling door panels off.

I think why they didn't put that weather strip all the way down the door is because the lower part of the door would be more prone to getting rubbed against when entering/exiting the front if the vehicle and coming off.

I just pulled the front door panels on my NBS off and remembered how damn easy they CAN be. There’s only (2) 7mm screws and ZERO clips, just hooks that the panel hangs with. No door handle cable to remove, the handle remains on the door. My NNBS is a PIA and always wants to break a clip. Way more stuff to take apart too.

I was thinking about how different things are with regards to this when I was replacing the door latch in my '97 K1500. That is a pain. My 2002 Silverado wasn't too bad and my 2004 Silverado was rather easy. My 2013 Yukon is a pain like you said. They went backwards a little on that one.

Yeah ESPECIALLY the headlights. How could they go from a design that requires zero tools and 10 seconds to the nightmare that the NNBS are?

Truth.

No repair manual should have to start bulb replacement instructions with "loosen lug nuts on tire behind light."

Drivers door.
I butted the weatherstrip up against the upper door portion, worked it in all the way down and cut it just as the door flange disappears. The weatherstrip has a metal strip in it making it hard to cut.

Is there a soft, thicker, rubbery part on that to help seal against the door edge?

In a pinch, there are sound meter smartphone apps that will work pretty well for before-after comparison purposes.

I haven't done anything to mine. But I've started to hear the telltale clunk of a broken motor mount. So that's coming soon.

In other news, last night my nephew stopped by the house to pick up something. He left his vehicle running. It had a nice, deep lopey idle. I started to ask what he was driving, and did a double-take, as it was his NBS Escalade. He'd put an aftermarket cam, long tubes and an aftermarket muffler on it. Wow. I really liked it. Got me thinking...maybe the broken mount and exhaust manifold bolts are a sign.

That’s just a trim, it’s not a seal.

No the weatherstrip is hard rubber. No glue needed. It is noticeably quieter with the additional weatherstrips....

The problem with making your vehicle quieter is you now hear ALL THE OTHER CREAKS AND NOISES your Denali makes....


So I just turned up the stereo

I have a brand new front passenger switch bezel in brushed metal if that’s one of the ones you need.
