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

    Lol huck you’re gonna hate me. I cut them flush with the control arms, heated the shit out of them, then hammered them out with an old kingpin from a dump truck I had lying around. The bottoms I said screw it and blew out with the acetylene torch. Then I realized I just wasted about 110...

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

    Replace bj's while you have everything apart. I see you're from VA and you don't get crazy rust and corrosion like the NE, but it can be a bear, especially on older vehicles. You'll already have everything out for the spindle replacement, might as well rent/ borrow a press and push the ball...

    What does that do? Does the parking brake normally have to be set to get the deck to display video?

    05Alive's 2005 Denali Resuscitation

    Looking at @NORCAL SS site, and the 00-920 kit says it works for both auto and non auto trucks. I was always under the impression that the spring rates were different between the two because of the airbag on the rear shocks. Is it so minute that it doesn't matter? I see some other kits are...

    The infamous "Stability System Disabled" message

    Four year thread dig. "Stability system disabled" on dic. No reduced power, no lights, no codes. It doesn't affect me in the slightest other than I don't stuff on the dic and I'd love to know the issue. Any chance it's related to z55? Whole system was replaced right before I got the truck in...

    Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

    Those kits don’t work for the escalade/denali. Showoff/fts/tcs esky/nali 6.5 kit is 3k with no shocks, control arms, or anything. Believe it comes with new front driveshaft. Never seen a cog/rcx/bds for those either. I have the quote in my inbox lol. It’s not on the website. If you’d like...

    Removing old mouldings and emblems

    3m eraser wheel and some cleaner wax. I've done it with goo gone, done it with a heat gun, even scraper it, but eraser wheel is the best. Go slow.

    That is my dream daily right there. That lift kit alone is like 3 grand without shocks, control arms, anything.

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

    ] so, it's a regular NBS :deal: The rear air is probably an actuator or a faulty actuator controller. I have the same issue but I only blow cold, and it's still 30's here lol. Only blowing through the defrost is probably also a door or something.

    Beginning rebuild on Escalade LQ9 motor

    I think he might mean headers, as those would be what connects to the y pipe. Heat the bolts with a bernzomatic, that should do it. If an impact and mapp gas won't do it, just cut it. You can replace the parts for relatively cheap.

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

    You don't spend that kind of money to throw a load stones in the back... It's just easier if you think of it as a really really tall range rover. As for front driveshaft, I drive a few trucks without 4wd that are very useful trucks.

    AF octanes American force is for beginners. Real ballers rock intros. Most highschool kids want "fawces" but ain't never heard of the steeze that is intro Twisted Vistas. That being said, I want that truck lol

    05Alive's 2005 Denali Resuscitation

    Apparently to read codes, the OBD2 port needs to work, what kinda tomfoolery is that? Scanner’s fine, tried it on other trucks, but I plug it into my truck and... nothing. Mechanic had to leave when I had an idea. Did a little googling, and...cigar lighter fuse is blown. Search for a 15amp...

    what parts are ok to cheap out on???

    Ackchyually, get the husky floormats or the weathertechs. Carpeted ones wear through and generic fit ones don't keep muddy/snowy/wet boots off the interior. :anitoof: But seriously, if you really want to save money, get good parts for anything safety. A shitty radiator might leave you stranded...

    05Alive's 2005 Denali Resuscitation

    They would be long, long dead if they were furry cats. I think they're original. Most of the truck is original. Some of the body has been replaced (crap aftermarket hood, rear bumper, hitch) but most everything else rolled off Puritan Pontiac Buick GMC's lot back in 05. Gotta wait till...
