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

    The pillar covers, you mean, not the slots. At least on mine, the slots were purely decorative. I replaced them with smooth covers.

    Cool LEDS. You finally gave those useless slots a purpose.

    Bought a '03 Tahoe LT with 235k miles for $2k, time to fix it up!

    Wish I could find a deal like that in Sarasota. It's hard to find a parts truck for under 4K. Three Tahoes online right now and the cheapest one with 200K is $4500. The other two have 235+ miles and the dealers want $7500-8000. I scan the ads weekly, and rarely see one for under $5000. There...

    Rearend warranty claim (ATK)

    Welcome to the club. I've tried every solution that has been recommended for the chatter and none worked. No one here seems to have the solution. I just went ahead Friday with putting the friction modifier in to see if that works. ATK must be using something that is not to OEM specs, since...

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

    Good idea. I may call PPG or SW paint suppliers and see who they recommend. Unfortunately, it's not a matter of finding a qualified shop, rather, it is finding a shop that is willing to take on the work.

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

    Seems like a different beast. Never thought of that. Sarasota is the capital of everything high-end and pricey. The only thing that is expected is that I will pay dearly for a quality paint job and get zero customer service for my dollars. Every shop in this city acts like it's doing me a...

    Replaced my oil pan gasket, adjusted my front coilovers up 3/8", finished my AirLift setup with compressor and remote, replaced leaking Raybestos rear caliper that was only 4 months old. This week doing complete tune-up, trans and intake service. This past week I went to two local body & paint...

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    Better resubmit your info to R1 Concepts. I get a message from them every day. Right now I'm getting two or three a day.

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    I had no problems getting mine from Summit Racing, but that was 3 months ago. The U.S. market is still having supply-chain issues throughout the automotive industry, so that is probably the case with the calipers.

    I think he means the barrel part behind the spokes.

    New owner, driving on sand AWD questions

    As others have said, wheel spin is the enemy. My father-in-law grew up in the 50s driving two-wheel jalopies on Florida beaches (before FL was overcrowded with condos, obviously). He taught me how to drive on sand. We did all of the aforementioned things to stay atop the sand. Here's another tip...

    My 2003 Yukon build

    Be sure to post your dyno report after the tune. What MAF is that?

    Hello! And looking for ideas about an issue...

    Sound like grounding to me, as well. That can do weird things to the electrical sys. Although, I had a few of those symptoms when my ignition went bad at 203,000. But within a day or two, it just quit starting. I got a 2005 complete column from a salvage yard for $75 and just swapped my...

    08 Denali back from the dead (Tow build) input welcome

    Definitely go with the BB tune. Justin does a great job with the tuning and depending on where you are you may be able to get an in-person tune. I didn't pay anywhere near $600 for my in-person tune, but had to drive 4-hours round trip to meet up with Justin. Maybe $600 covers the AutoCal for...

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    I was driving on wet roads and grossing 10,000 lbs with my trailer today after one of Florida's afternoon showers. I did finally feel the ABS activate as I braked over some slick asphalt.

    I haven't had the caliper super hot yet, but so far there's no evidence of overheating or discoloration with this paint.

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    I wasn't saying that the ABS won't activate. I was saying that even on hard stopping the braking it is so superior, I don't think it needed to activate. I'm in a dense traffic area and haven't been able to get out of traffic or in a good situation to try a true panic stop. I will try to...

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    No pictures of the grinding. But the picture below shows the areas to grind. The larger area is what I refer to as the shoulder, the smaller arrow is the raised casting. You can see the radiused area is where the wheel is closest. That radius is already there, but needs to be beveled back...

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    Okay, so I'm ready to give a more complete review of the 2020-2021 upgrade to my 2003 Yukon. I have had the system installed for two weeks and have driven 473 miles as of today. As I mentioned in an earlier post, this won't be a comparison to the high-performance aftermarket big brake kits...

    4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

    I think you can go up to 1/4" without losing support. I've been running 1/4" spacers of the rear of my Yukon Xl and towing a 4000 lb. trailer several times a week (for a couple of years) without any issues. You really need to look at how much wheel stud there is beyond the lug seat. 0.14"...

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

    Sorry, I haven't been online today. I went with one from BuyAutoParts. I purchased it from Amazon. Was about to buy one from Detroit Axle, but their reviews were terrible and they required a core to be returned. Was about $80 more expensive, but it looks brand new. They explain in detail what...
