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

[Grady_Wilson]

I used to swim in the ocean in So Cal all the time growing up.
It is cold at first but you quickly adapt to it and can stay in for hours.
One of the first things you learn there is how to get out of the rip currents because they are nasty in So Cal.
It is very easy to get in the water and before you know it, you're 100 yards down the beach just from swimming out of the currents.

Yup... I did go in the water..... It did take a while to get used to it, but as you say, ..it's then , alright....
But, as a kid, surfing was not going to be my hobby ! Due to the incredible roads in that area, my hobby became motorcycles !!

I've ridden bikes since I was in my early teens.
One if my uncle's had dirt bikes and lived in the desert so we'd go out there and ride quite a bit.
As I got older I bought my own street and dirt bikes.
I still have a 1989 Honda NT 650 that I bought new.

changed passenger side hub bearing.. weirdest thing ever. I can not feel anything wrong with the bearing even after it's out in hand but new bearing fixed everything. smooth as glass again. got rid of the weird almost blower motor sound that kicked in right at 40mph.

I honestly wouldn't have believed it if it wasn't for the mechanics ears. little pricey but definitely saved me the headache of worrying about what it was. or having to wait till it was falling off to find the problem. good excuse to buy a tool haha.

Did you have to add hub spacers to fit those ? I added some from Little Shop on my SFBD 08 Silverado when I did my Wilwoods but I’m running Intro wheels with way different offset from what you have. Hard to tell but it looks like you’re pretty damn close to the fender lip. I like being able to drive around town when I’m skating and still be able to take most corners.

Started the process of removing the Door Molding till my faithful rubber wheel decided it had enough. Also just a note to everyone. Wear Gloves if you dont get it all in one go. That crap is sharp lol.

I used this same kit. The rear axels had to be removed, now the caliper is on the back side. I can skate, the watt keeps the rear end centered

Will GMT800 long tube headers fit in a GMT900?

Why did you remove the rear axles? In order to change the orientation of the brake backing plates because you had clearance issues? Mine are mounted forward on the rear brakes. I have a 3 link in the rear that keeps things centered. My rear end is narrowed enough to tuck 26 x 12 intros with 10” lips, no clearance issues.

I just flipped the struts to the bottom of the LCA’s on the Tahoe and found out I have the aluminum control arms so no extra spacer is needed. I hope it doesn’t drop it too much. I also modified the rear ride height sensor rods for the 4” rear drop but that’s a guessing game. Trial and error will be my friend there. The stock ones were 4”overall. I’ll try them at 3” and adjust accordingly. Waiting on FedEx to deliver the rear springs and shock extenders.

All done with the 2/4 drop. The rear is still settling but I have about a 2/3 drop now. The auto level is still calibrating too I think. I’ll run an ALC trim set with the Tech 2. $230 total for the parts. Way better than stock height. I didn’t get a before shot in the driveway but the yard shot is still valid.

 

[RooTBeeRthe1st]

Much cleaner for a street mobile. Lower CG in corners I bet is noticeable.

Home from a 1500 mile road trip, ran great.

That looks good. Is it 4wd?

Yes it is. And I installed new rear Arnott shocks and a Dorman compressor a couple weeks ago and the Autolevel is still functional as well. I just had to shorten the rear ride height sensor rods.

 

[Sir_Hiro]

Got the drivers side moldings fully removed and entire drivers side cut and buffed. Still waiting on this Michigan weather to figure out its life to get the two door flares on.

Still debating on removing the Yukon Badge from the doors.

I've had something very similar in my '07 for the past 4 years and it's been great. It worked fine with the Bose amp without any fiddling and did indeed sound better than the factory Nav unit I had. However it will not work with the rear seat screen without the Maestro harness, so I haven't bothered to do it since we used the '12 for long family road trips.
