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

[j91z28d1]

wow the things you find begin other mechanics.

if the squeal comes back after they bed back in. gm made these things to stop the rear brake noise. I used them on mine and they worked well.

this might not be the correct ones, I got mine off rock auto and would have to look it up. but just for pics. one on each calipers, stud replaces the lower caliper bolt and this damped screws on.

Hello everyone, I am a new member. This place is an amazing resource.

I just came home with a Silver 2011 Tahoe LT 4wd yesterday. Today the first project was installing an Android based stereo head unit.

I have my doubts on these things in general but I went ahead and ordered from Amazon. Things weren’t perfect, but after a bit of googling and changes made to the backend software, it seems to be working great. Let me know if anyone has questions.

looks nice

Prepared(sanded) new rotors and got ready to install them with new pads because my rear brakes have been sqeaky.
Found the previous mech installed both inside pads on one side and both outside pads on the other.

View attachment 438712

The outside pads have a rivet, which interfered with the piston, denting it and when I pryed the caliper off, it tore off some part of the stainless? cap.

Ripped the stray metal off the piston and pushed the edges down.
Pads had 50%+ so I sanded the old rotors as well and reinstalled old pads in correct locations.
Couldn't see any taper on the old pads, for now they are quiet again.
Probably the raised edge on the rotor doing the squeaking is my guess..

Saving the new pads/rotors for the AXN axle swap instead..

wth? not sure how that is even possible they won't fit the wrong side, well maybe if you forced it somehow I guess

It did damage to the caliper piston face.

Are the front seats torn up? That perforated leather is terrible.

Just the bottoms but I ordered replacement leather to fix it. It was only 2500 wasn't expecting much honestly lol but it runs great and the dash isn't cracked up. Only 135k mileage and not accidents according to carfax

Received two new GM upstream O2 sensors, and tried to replace them, but for the life of me I could not get access or leverage to either one of them. How do you guys get them out?

Since I already had the rig jacked up I swapped mufflers.... re-installed the MBRP clone muffler hoping that there'd be less drone with a 6.0.

Went for a drive to see if there was less drone, and it seems like the 1800-2000rpm annoyance is gone.

Looks perfect! Plus you didn’t crack the trim which I heard is a major problem with replacing these head units - nice work bro

The second one sounds like what my Malibu used to sound, sounds great.

Thanks - apparently I have the greasiest fingers in the world though. It was spotless before I started...

She also came with weathertech front liners. I have never had these before, but after a short drive with "dress" shoes on I can definitely say that I hate them.

There is too much plastic inside as is.
This is on the way https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B3XPX5RC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Hopefully it feels a bit softer.

Those mats look kinda like a version of the ones I bought for the wife's car.
A lot more textured than a smooth Weathertech.
Even they can get a little slippery at times but most times they are decent and provide decent grip for your shoes.
I have a sort of Weathertech version in my Yukon now and they work well in snow country.
My only complaint is they don't have the anchors in the right spot so they do slide every once in awhile.

I want to know too!
The one time I tried to remove one.. I was getting nowhere.. and the O2 sensor I tried was the easiest to access.
Had an O2 sensor socket and everything..

I'm thinking remove the whole pipe maybe..

Those look great and definitely good price, but you should consider Husky Weather Beaters. When I was shopping floor mats I watched a lot of YouTube videos and there’s lots of comparison videos between brands. Hard to tell when they are just getting paid but from what I’ve seen the Husky brand is good and the Weather Beater is their premium brand.

On your link you can see the Weather Beater for an extra $30. The one you ordered might be what you want but if it isn’t just return. Good thing about Amazon is the return policy.

They look like a good value also. $30 bucks off now also - so same price.

I did the exact same thing! I used a little bigger piece of velcro backing..

BUT, what I'm finding is my remote (only thing attached to car keys) still dangles and taps the shifter lever..
Might have to wrap the base of that as well... Or make a fabric sock for the remote? IDK, I must have too much time on my hands..

they sell an aftermarket keyless entry with push button like normal cars. I thought about it, but mines a hybrid and enough of a electrical hassle. but if I had a normal truck I'd have already bought it. my wife literally hates the keys and talks about it about 3 times a day haha.

this will do it if you have a air hammer.
