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

    Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Been kinda busy and haven't posted much, but have done a lot to the Tahoe. Finally bit the bullet and purchased a Blackbear tune, front and rear pads and rotors, steering box (didn't fix the inch of play in steering wheel). Along with a t-stat and coolant...

    Steering box shaft misaligned!

    I was very careful when I removed the pitman arm and reinstalled the new one to make sure nothing moved. Maybe I missed something. I will remove the box and see if I can do what you mentioned! I just don’t want to make things worse. Of coarse, I have to have it ready for Monday…Thanks for the...

    Steering box shaft misaligned!

    So I was replacing the pitman arm and both steering shafts. I recently replaced all front suspension parts and couldn’t get pitman arm out at the time. I followed the TRQ guide and removed the steering box. Put new pitman arm on, torqued bolt to 180ft lbs and put it back in truck. Tightened the...

    Pads to go with Raybestos R-300 rotors

    More pedal travel than I thought would be after the system maintenance. Mudsport asked if they were spongy and that would also apply. Again, I don't want to over dramatize that they are bad, just thought pedal travel would have been reduced.

    Pads to go with Raybestos R-300 rotors

    Good afternoon - I have an 05 LT with the 07 front caliper upgrade. I have the powerstop slotted, drilled rotors and pads for the last 6 years. They are ok, but would like to change for a better option. I recently had the abs control module unit replaced, new fluid and system calibrated by a...

    Front suspension refresh

    Update - All is great now! Had alignment done the next day and was off just a bit. So much better driving down the road. Way better feel and don't get jarred to death when going over a bumps. With new front end and body bushings I thought it would ride a bit smoother, but it's all good. Just...

    Front suspension refresh

    Needed a refresh with 145k! Have replaced tie rod ends and sway bar links about 4-5 yrs ago. Shocks about 1.5 years. Noticed the tie rods had movement on outter boot. New Moog CK upper/lower C/A, hubs, axles, tie rods I/O, sway bar links and bushings. There always seems to be a sticking point...

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

    That is what I will do. Just spent close to $1500 for all the front end stuff, including the body bushings. Didn't need to replace hubs and axles, but decided to. Thanks for the feedback. I'm starting the front end refresh now. It's only 85 outside and it's stifling in garage and I have...

    Finally put in a new touch screen deck! What an improvement! This coming wknd, I will be doing a complete front suspension refresh! Moog CK u/l CA, tie rods, Cardone axles, Moog hub assembly, Moog stabilizers. I really want to do performance sway bars, but that takes me past my budget... Edit...

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

    Finally fixed the squeaky rear brakes. The retaining clip was rubbing on the top of the rotor once they were heated up. It would embarrass my daughter when I dropped her off at school. Simply took off the caliper, pads and clip. Gave them a little squeeze with pliers, put some brake quiet on...

    Bad start to road trip!

    Update - shop in Portland got go ahead to install new (serial# matched from low mileage used Tahoe). Got a call from initial shop saying they are picking up the whole bill! I was really surprised, because they were not wanting to cover bill. Only labor and half the case. I was already getting...

    Bad start to road trip!

    Here is the latest...Transmission shop is only going to warranty labor for rebuilding the case.:mad: I only have 3k miles on it since it was replaced. Auto shop thinks it was low on fluid and that caused some issues. They are going to tear into it tomorrow to see what is going on inside. That...
