    Front Bump Stop Issue

    Interesting that works so well for you. I have no experience with those shocks. I live by a quarry so all the heavy trucks are hell on the roads. There is not too many options to avoid bad parts. In my experience a lot of people with poor ride quality on these trucks assume that the front...

    Front Bump Stop Issue

    You really should have the "rubber" part. What happens when you bottom it out? You must have some mighty fine roads in your area. I am sure that the stock replacement shocks are not doing @ridin_low07 any favors with the keys as well. A shorter body shock like you are suggesting would likely be...

    Front Bump Stop Issue

    No that wont fix it. THe front bump stops are actually jounce stops and are what give the front en a progressive feel.

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

    How hard would it be to install the esky antenna? I get fine service on my escalade. I know I have heard of some people running wire up in the door seal or some such deal in order to act like a bigger antenna.

    I may just have to give that one a shot. I've put this mod off too long... Do you have a link?

    Dash stopped working!!

    Yes I should have mentioned that. Poor grounds are the first thing to check whenever you have funky electrical issues.

    Dash stopped working!!

    Could be at the cluster. Soldered connections crack and lose connection. I've lost PRNDL on one vehicle, backlighting and several gauges on this one. I pulled this one apart and touched up the soldered connection and replaced bulbs and some gauges.

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    Mine came with the calipers.

    2006 GMC Yukon XL cracks on radiator tank .[emoji15]

    Wow I didn't realise that this was such a hotly debated topic. I think we can all agree that if you decide to remove dexcool and run the green stuff thats fine too. I've never had an issue directly related to dexcool so I choose to continue running it as it is the manufacturers recommended...

    07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

    That is the best time to do it! Really does not cost anymore than simply replacing with the same original setup so why not go for a "free" OEM big brake kit?

    07-14 No Cabin Air Filter - is this correct?

    I would not use a dremel at high speed on this. Having dremeled plastic things in the past it will melt and or be very difficult to control, especially in an area with limited access. I have no doubt that it would be able to cut it, but I do feel that there are better tools for this...

    07-14 No Cabin Air Filter - is this correct?

    I've found carbon filters for around the same price as non carbon. Seems like a no brainer. Here is what I have been running in my 05 for a year now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H43BXYL/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=A1L7F5DL4H71TK&psc=1

    20%-30% huh? Thats fairly significant. Reminds me that it is probably time to replace mine actually.

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Must have forgotten about this one. Installed the white 10 blade fan (it had a black metal 5 blade fan previously). No longer sounds like a jet taking off. Maybe slightly less drag on the engine? Or the clutch locks up less since it moves more air. A/c seems to be a bit better at idle. Was a...

    What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    New KYB gas a just shocks in front. Sway bar bushings and links. Oil change. Removed original bump stops in the front and installed s10 zq8 bump stops which are progressive. Noticable difference! The bump stops were replaced about a week ahead of the shocks and I could really tell the difference...

    2006 GMC Yukon XL cracks on radiator tank .[emoji15]

    I suspect the vast majority of issues with Dexcool is that people mixed it with the "universal" green stuff. Still have Dex in my '94. Sure it has a new rad and waterpump now... but its like 30 years old. Works great.

    Haha. Ill admit I dont love the escalade body moldings either, particularly the recess to clear the doors, but Im not taking them off.

    Bilstein 4600 raised the front end

    Is that how the lower portion of the strut is installed from the factory? Looks upside down to me. I believe that bar goes underneath the control arm. If so that would make a difference. Edit, did some googling and I guess thats how these are factory. Ive seen other vehicles with a similar...

    Bilstein 4600 raised the front end

    Not sure. Newest GM truck I've installed it on is my NBS, which has torsion bars not coils. 5100s are on my Jeep which is mcpherson strut. On that the coil, bump stop, coil cup and rubber spring isolators are all reused.

    Bilstein 4600 raised the front end

    THe 5100s have a different shock body with recesses in it for the C clip to land in that allows for it to be adjusted. I have installed both. Not sure how you'd make a 4600 adjustable...

    Sound Deadener

    I did my RCSB gmt400 with CLD tiles (noico), CCF, and most importantly MLV. Made a huge difference in road noise, and comfort (definitely helps on hot days) and I still have to get MLV on the doors...

    peel and seal really isnt any cheaper. Why not use a product that is made for this?

    Dash lights and interior lights

    Pull the cluster out. Could be simply the connector at the back of the cluster. Lots of people including myself have had issues with solder in the cluster cracking over time and weak or non existent backlighting. I touched up all the solder and soldered in some new bulbs in mine.
