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

[gooffeyguy]

I have never seen a set that I can borrow from a auto parts store that I trust.

Here is what I got off of Amazon.
Shankly Spring Compressor Tool (2 Pieces) - Heavy Duty Build, Ultra Rugged Coil Spring Compressor, Strong and Durable Spring Compressor with Safety Gu https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071DQJG24/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_yUWAnYSdKGPRJ

So I sent that spring compressor link to my wife yesterday and Amazon delivered it this afternoon.... lol. Wife said it's an anniversary gift (our anniversary is Thursday)

I've used a lighter weight version that was a loaner from Advance Auto years ago to change the springs out on an ****** Gt, and they were barely able to do it. This set is beefy and heavy.

That’s awesome! And quick!

I would put some grease on the threads prior to using them.

Happy Anniversary!

I figured $250 got both sides. That’s what I just spend at Rock Auto.

Don’t like rock auto and no time to wait for delays in shipping to have my truck back on the road ASAP.

Got my AutoCal yesterday via "Priority" 2-day mail. Shipped on the 16th, arrived on the 22nd. And the mail was so late I didn't have time to do the 20-30 minutes initial logging drive but I did download the existing engine and transmission tune files to the AutoCal. I'll be logging this afternoon if the thunderstorms hold off.

I spent the last three mornings trying to get Forscan to flatten the EQ of my 2018 Focus ST's OEM radio so I can install a new power amp without using a DSP in between. Finally got that sorted. I plan to explode the OEM front POS speakers with the new amp after I buy the replacements, then install them. I already swapped out the rear speakers.

I had an "ac delco" ac compressor for the hoe in my cart on amazon for a few days, price was about $120.
Noticed today it went up to $180.
Been dragging my feet, + I was unsure if it was a perfect match.

Errbody got their stimmy. So they buyin' it all up. The DAY I got mine I spent it ALL IMMEDIATELY on one thing (mini-split for my workshop) because I figured that would happen. Still too late..."order delayed". Was checking on some orders and noticed some other car stuff I ordered a week ago is now out of stock.

There’s a price to pay when you can’t wait. I get my RA stuff in about 3-4 days and it’s almost always the best price. Last week I did brakes on a friends F-250 Super Duty. I told him, I’ll get new rotors and pads from RA for the same price as just the pads from a local parts store. He said he didn’t want to, he just had a shop put expensive rotors on a couple years ago. I get it torn down and the fronts were old, grooved and cracked. Never were replaced. The rears were newer but were slotted and drilled, couldn’t have them turned even though they should have been. So for way more money he ended up with ****** rear rotors. The shop had ripped him off no surprise. I could have saved him $100 and had new rear rotors, Power Stop stuff all the way around. But once it’s torn down and you need the parts to put it back together right away, you’ll pay since there’s really not much choice.

So does this mean I can come over when its time for the bilstien leveling kit?

 

[Oldewing]

I have put a couple of Powerstop kits on, nice stuff. Wife's car is about 20K into her set, no worries. Yukon will get the towing upgrade set this summer, front only as I are cheap......

Bought an entire black interior, dash to hatch. Sick of the grey getting dirty and just really like the look of black interior better

I think they had a widespread price increase. I was checking on some things too. Had priced AC Delco wheel bearings at $137 recently they're now $160 something.

Installed a 20" light bar behind the grill. Very pleased with how it turned out. I now have the urge to get a bigger bar to fill out the grill better, but the extra light is nice to have. I had the light bar from a previous vehicle, so no new expense. Three and a half years of owning the Tahoe I finally got it installed. This took me much longer than it should have, but it was good to put the brain to work finding and/or making the pieces necessary to make it all come together, and not break anything along the way.

I built a bracket with parts from an old television mount with some modification, using aluminum scraps to connect the two pieces. One of the mount pieces was able to be seated in-between the foam and the hard plastic (one flipped down, the other flipped up), allowing the light to be mounted to the bracket and the bracket secured to the truck. After numerous fitting attempts and angle adjustments, I was able to install the bracket (with light attached) into place and secure. There is less than 1/4" between the light and the grill, and very little light loss from the grill when lit. I have zero scientific evidence to support the previous statement.

I used two 6" bolts to go through the foam/plastic/metal, which was roughly 4" thick. Felt secure to me, and there is no play in the bracket or the light after getting everything bolted down. Black zip ties secured the wiring.

Pictures show bracket in place from top of the grill, side angles of light bar on bracket installed (bracket painted black to match), and final exterior view, unlit and lit.

Pulled the trigger and bought a Maggy - had to replace the camshaft and springs to take the HEAT! Now new rebuilt engine will be ready to drop in, as soon as I pick up the tranny.

Anyone need/want a TSP stage 2 cam, new PAC single springs w/valve seals, etc?

I told him, I’ll get new rotors and pads from RA for the same price as just the pads from a local parts store. He said he didn’t want to, he just had a shop put expensive rotors on a couple years ago. I get it torn down and the fronts were old, grooved and cracked. Never were replaced. The rears were newer but were slotted and drilled, couldn’t have them turned even though they should have been. So for way more money he ended up with ****** rear rotors.

I had my drilled and slotted rotors resurfaced on my camaro. Had a defective set of pads and they put a slight groove in the rotor. I had bought them from a local parts store. The turned the rotors and replaced pads for free. Just for future reference

How can you turn grooved and slotted rotors? Didn't think you could.

I understand the savings and if shipping now days wasn’t a *********** and I didn’t need my car back on the road the. I would’ve ordered online. Shipping is horrible these days. A week to get something from Maryland. That’s insane!!!


It’s not like I enjoy overpaying for car parts. It was the time I didn’t have waiting for them to show up. However all the other shit I need I’ll be ordering.


What’s everyone using for pads? I like what’s on mine but idk what they are. Previous owner had them put on by a shop and have no markings to tell me what they are when I did the hub.

I run ceramic pads on my drilled and slotted rotors at all 4 corners. They don't produce as much dust as other types of pads.

Seats, door panels, carpet, dash, everything for that amount?

Slow and steady I guess. Take minimal off at a time. Surface area is surface area
