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

    Finally got around to replacing the original spare tire under my 2001 GMC Yukon. I changed out the spare wheel and used one of the two original bright alloy wheels and a $107 Corsa 265/70/16 tire from Discount Tire. Over a decade ago I upgraded to 18 inch wheels w 275/60/18 tires. The diameter...

    Fuel Sending Unit/Gauge - SOLVED

    My 2001 Yukon exact same. Fuel level reads accurately below 3/4-Tank but when full the level and the low fuel warning light are intermittent. Gage will suddenly read low, and warning light illuminates, for a few minutes then returns to normal. Chevron fuel treatment concentrate didn’t help...

    Got Rear Ended, Need a Rear Bumper

    I got rear ended earlier this week on the Phoenix I-10. No serious damage for my truck but it jacked up the other guy’s Toyota. I do need a new rear bumper and a new bike rack and spare tire. I’m assuming his insurance will handle but if not can use mine. Can anyone recommend a good...

    '02 Tahoe radio recommendations?

    I use a Sony in my 2001. No volume knob. No CD player. But it fits simple and clean in the dreaded “DIN-and-a-half” location without cutting the metal support bracket because it’s shallow dimension. I’m not sure if 2002 is double-DIN or 1.5-DIN. I used the Crutchfield prewired harness and...

    Maintenance on a 2019 with 96K miles?

    I didn’t see fuel filter recommended above. I saw plugs and wires recommendation from Avalonandi. They are normally due at 100K miles so you are right on schedule. How old is the battery? Should have an installed date code. I don’t mind running my battery to failure (can usually see it...

    My Fashionably Late 03 Denali XL Build Thread

    I didn’t read the whole thread in detail so you may have already resolved LED cruise control issue. LED brake lights will absolutely disable cruise control. I found that a single incandescent bulb in the center top (third) brake lamp or the Left/Right enclosures; and LED bulbs in other...

    03 GMC Yukon Totaled

    You might need a collision loss consultant to help you get a fair replacement value for your truck. Our GMT800s have a wide range. I have not used this guy but I follow him on FB and seems like he knows what he is talking about. Flat rate $500 but he usually gets a few thousand more for the...

    Replace HVAC Vent Blend Door Actuator on Driver Side

    Good luck. I still have PTSD from the whole process but my blend door actuator works fine, hopefully for another 20 years.

    What is the largest offset (outward) & AT tire for stock suspension on 2005 Denali XL

    Seems like this reply is not just a typo for “thanks”. Maybe try decaf? Or switch to FB community? They’ll get you bruh’

    Your opinion please :) What is the largest and most aggressive rim/tire/offset combination with stock OEM suspension? 2005 Denali XL 1500

    I run 275/60/18 on my 2001 with no problems. Plenty of clearance and the overall diameter is equal to OEM 275/70/16 so my speedometer is true. It’s not a max aggressive setup but hopefully it’s helpful info for you.

    Apple Carplay

    Apple CarPlay is awesome. Everything already said but also the voice interface is intuitive and reliable. If your GF is on the Apple infrastructure then it’s the way to go. But I think you say she’s on Android. In that case Sony is still a good option but it’s wired not wireless. Also, my...

    Which front shocks to choose?

    Can’t go wrong with Bilstein B6-4600 for stock OEM neutral lift and general riding around on a mix of highways, streets, fire roads and double-track. There are a lot of good options but I think this is best bang for the buck. Less than $100 each.

    Can’t tell if my oil to full. Seems to go past the hashmarks. No symptoms of to-full oil though

    Nice work. Did you lift or crawl under? Also, it’s been years since I changed own oil on mine - remind me is there a gasket on the drain plug?

    Nice rig. The 2-Door is getting more and more rare. And more and more collectible.

    2004 tahoe speaker whining/squealing

    Paper cones and foam surrounds on all four door speakers and the subwoofer will begin to degrade after about ten years, until the foam is essentially gone. Time for new speakers. I used Polk Audio 6.5 in rear doors; Polk 8” subwoofer, Memphis Audio 2.75 in rear pillar and GM Genuine in front...

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

    Wired up my aftermarket amp. I’ve got anther post on that. But also got my monthly update from Carvana on their offer to buy: $500 wot?!?!? A while back I was looking around selling my 2001 YukonSLT before spending this year’s maintenance and service budget on cooling system and struts. As best...

    Front suspension overhaul

    I did my front struts at 110K and 170K. I’d do the struts. Even if you just use Monroe. The 4W alignment will cost you more than 2X Monroe struts. Plenty of good options on your struts. I used Bilstein B4600. Regardless whether you do the shocks, don’t forget the bumps. Whenever the struts go...

    03 Tahoe first mod

    Yep “dubs” = 20. But I’m OG so maybe I got that lingo wrong. (DW laughs at me when I try to be Youngblood hip.) Good looking wheels. Keeping the diameter same on mine was important to me too. I probably will stick w this setup but I see some smoking deals on FB marketplace from time to time on...

    2004 Yukon XL Denali aftermarket Subwoofer Amplifier Install

    Powering the Amp Update : This weekend I finally got around to disconnecting the OEM amp from my 8” Polk Audio subwoofer and wired up a dedicated 1-Channel 300W subwoofer amp from Crutchfield’s store brand (Sound Ordnance) in my 2001. Don’t try to punch thru the firewall grommet on a GMT 800...

    Rear shock swap??

    Monroe and Bilstein both have a spring/strut kit but once you buy both you are in Nivomat price territory. If you can find a good one in the junkyard and just replace one, that’s a really good workaround till you get new. Good luck.
