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

    A week into ownership of my 2006 I found out that the wipers didn’t lift up and stay up. All of my previous vehicles did this. I was pissed at GM and then when I detailed a 2001 Tahoe for a client his wiper blades magically picked up….. needless to say I sourced wiper arms from a 2002 Denali in...

    Oh totally…. Catch more flies with honey is how I try to run things haha. I appreciate the compliments! I wish my paint was in better shape but I’m working on tackling that myself and soon haha. I like having a well kept older rig :chewie:

    New Member GMT800 2000 Yukon XL SLE

    Welcome from another GMT800 owner in Southern California. These things are perfect road trip rigs and are pretty easy to make them very reliable even in older age. My 2006 has just shy of 199k on the clock and I’m planning to take a road trip totaling 1500 miles by the time I get home with it...

    Thanks! Unfortunately with the Marina I didn’t have a choice since I couldn’t back it down based on their rules. And I didn’t have time to get her over to the ramp where I could, but it made it out fine so I didn’t worry about it.

    Welp….. fired the parts cannon too soon and shot myself in the foot with it…. :banghead: Apparently my water pump, which is only a handful of years old and probably no more than 60-ishk on it maybe? I don’t know I’m tired of replacing stuff lol. But got a new water pump in today…. Leaky...

    I guess it’s better that the radiator hose gave out here in town and not next week in the middle of nowhere during the road trip.

    Is there a list that shows wheel/year options? Ex: What other years are options for 2016? 22" >>20"

    To answer your question regarding 2WD vs 4WD wheels. That’s only an issue for the GMT400 platform. That’s where 2WD SUVs and pickups had a different bolt patterned wheel than their 4WD counter parts. Which because you have a 2016 does not affect you whatsoever. Basically with 2000 all the way...

    What’s wrong with those tires on the pictures?

    This right here…… spot in… Why GM is charging insane amounts of money for these rigs new and putting the cheapest, crappiest tires on them blows my mind….. get rid of those Bridgestones… there’s a reason why they’re nicknamed “brickstones”

    'Service Suspension System', 2010 Yukon Denali

    FYI this generation of Denali did not come with mag ride suspension setup. The only SUVS in the GMT900 lineup that got that option was the Escalades. The Denali trimmed SUVs will have virtually the same Z55 autoride suspension setup just like the previous gen trucks, although from what I...

    Welcome from another socal member! San Clemente is beautiful! My bro in law was stationed at Pendleton while he was in the marine corps. As a high schooler I spent lots of time down there when I’d spend time with my sister and they were dating and we would head down there to see him on base when...

    Rear shocks are arnott industries Z55 replacements for these rigs. I have the passive versions with resistors built into the harness where the factory wiring plugs in. But the factory air compressor mounted to the rear frame rail still fills up the air bladders like it should. A bolt on the top...

    Interesting thing about our lake is that the majority of people who have a boat slip to keep their boats in the water all summer are rented docks via one of the 4 marinas on the lake. Some of the big lake side homes have their own docks as part of the property but compared to how many docks are...

    Got the boat up to my house to get her detailed about 1:30 Monday afternoon. About two ish hours behind schedule. I like being able to work from home on occasion now that I have a garage to keep all the gear in when it can’t be in the back of the Denali. It’s a great spot to work out of. The...

    Little view of the mountain highways for you guys. I love highway 38, it’s Ana dbislitet gorgeous drive scenery wise, there’s a couple little areas where it’s tight corners that are windy, but over all it’s got big long, properly banked corners that when unloaded, I cruise through pretty quick...

    Absolutely hate the socal freeways now….. but I managed to survive with the boat. lol. This is the 91 freeway going at just about the edge of Orange County, and riverside county. When i was born we lived in the riverside area before moving up to the mountains, and drove this freeway all the time...

    Been a busy couple of months. After my mammoth trip late April, had to head out to Vermont for a funeral for my grandpa. Gramps passed in February, after nearly 10 years of living with late stage Parkinson’s disease and some mild dementia issues affecting his short term memory. I miss him a lot...

    Newish GMT800 'Burb Owner from SF Bay Area

    Welcome from Southern California! I may be a bit biased but I definitely think the GMT800s were the best generation of SUV GM put out there lol. It’s nice to be able to pack all the stuff in you need to bring along, AND be towing a trailer behind you! My Denali XL has done that many times on...
