    6.0 in Z71 with NNBS

    Thanks to all for the info. Any thoughts on if the 5.3 is enough of an engine in a fully loaded Suburban in the NNBS trucks? If the 6.2L is worth the extra cashola, then I don't mind swapping the interior bits, and wheel/tire package out to get the look/feel I want. It's obviously much more...

    6.0 in Z71 with NNBS

    I was referring to the SUV's. However the idea of a pickup isn't out the question either.

    6.0 in Z71 with NNBS

    Hello All.....Been awhile since I was here last. I previously had a 2003 GMC Yukon that I put almost 200k miles on before selling. I traded that truck for a '12 Ford Focus, and have been missing the space and capability of my Yukon (although the 32mpg has been nice). So, I'm back and looking...

    Charging/Electrical Gremlins.....Any thoughts?!?!

    8bud, The additional cables did help some. Not a huge amount, but they were noticeable. The charging really become more consistent at idle, but otherwise not much was noticeable. The needle on the voltage gauge would still fluctuate a little here and there, as would the voltage as read through...

    What does the BOSE system include?

    I don't think there is a sub in the center console. Look inside the rear hatch on the drivers side. If you have a sub it should be there. For reference, my Bose sysem does NOT have one there. I've been in the center console as well in the past, and didnt' see one in there either. I'll be in...

    Dead Short in the Radio Circuit.....Any thoughts?!?!

    Driving back from lunch the radio in the Yukon (2003 GMC Yukon, SLT, 100% factory Bose stereo) just shut off. No smoke, no drama, just click and it was off. Didn't have time to mess with it until I got home. What a boring 20mi drive that was! Fuse under the hood blows immediately upon...

    NBS Troubleshooting Issue : Anyone had experience with this?

    I think the rainy/wet condition problem, and the switch problem are different issues. Both CAN happen, but not necessarily at the same time.

    Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" in Dash

    Transitioning to a desk job from a field position I miss having my tablet (Asus EP121)mounted in the truck (Company F150 with bench seat, and RAM mount from floor). I love the location in place of the factory unit, however I would defintely want to be able to take it with me. I'm fairly certain...

    RC Helicopter 450 Series

    Actually, context is derived directly from text. Tone of voice, and inflection are typically not conveyed through text. I got it though :D Also, unanswered questions don't convey value very well. Here is an $80 "450 class" RC 'Copter Here is a $450 "450 class" RC 'Copter The responder...

    Stupid Rattly Brake Pedal.....

    Anyone else have a brake pedal that rattles over large bumps? Over train tracks, or large potholes, or any other abrupt change in driving surface creates a "rattle" from the brake pedal. I can visually see it moving (when the wife is driving) from left to right. I can get video if needed. The...

    new with a few questions....

    The AWD on the '03 Denalis is a purley mechanical system. SO you'll never do a "burnout" in the traditional sense of the word. As for Stability Control, I'm unsure. Do you have a custom tune for all those mods (namely the convertor)?!?!

    New tie-rods and pitman arm price...what is reasonable?

    The same thing that will happen when your Moog balljoint or cv joint fails when driving. If you are keeping up on your maintenance and/or paying attention to your vehicle at much of any level, then is the risk really any different between a cheap part and a "good" part? The penalty for...

    New tie-rods and pitman arm price...what is reasonable?

    Resulting in large SUV's that cost $250,000 instead of $60,000. It's not about caring. Engineering, by and large, is done as an excercise in managing compromises. This particular example is a compromise between cost and service life. I would wager that while the original posters parts are...

    NBS Troubleshooting Issue : Anyone had experience with this?

    Mine has done that a few times (Assuming you have the AutoTrac as well). Typically in VERY VERY wet or snowy conditions. It typically shows when I would either had the T-Case under water, encased in snow, or driven through a VERY large puddle at speed. It's also accompanied by a "Service 4WD"...

    What's the easiest way to get to the washer pump/hose??

    I was able to fish through to get to mine from the underside. I was able to loosen a few bolts to "pull" the fender line back a little. It's a SUPER tight fit to get to it that way, but I was able to replace BOTH pumps, AND all the lines fishing some lines down through the top. I've also...

    What kind of t-case does this thing have?

    Obviously the top button is for "Burnout Mode", the second for Wheelie mode, and the fourth is for the "Four-Down" mode (This is used after completing wicked awesome jumps to insure you land 4-down). :D :D :D Wierd. My '03 Yukon doesn't look anything like that one?!?!

    Added an 3.5mm AUX jack to my dash.. for Ipod, phone, etc..

    Sounds great. Any idea if the one you have works with the Bose system? I like the placement as well. I was going to put mine in a similar location as the phone/music device will typically sit in the "top" cubby on the console. Wife has an iPhone, I have an Android, and our guests have a...

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

    Ordered a new "Parking brake handle/cable assembly" from RockAuto.com. Factory one broke while retrieving the boat the other night. Took a few minutes with a flashlight to figure out how to release it to get it home. Of course the wife set the parking brake at hte grocery store last night out of...

    Added an 3.5mm AUX jack to my dash.. for Ipod, phone, etc..

    Awesome. I've been wanting to add this type of setup to my '03 Yukon for awhile now. I keep finding conflicting reports on if a particular adapter would work or not. Thanks for posting!

    Need new Tires......Concerned about wheel width....Need some Advice

    Looks like I'll be getting some new tires this weekend! I doubt the tire store is going to fix these, as they are already down to the wear bars :(

    Need new Tires......Concerned about wheel width....Need some Advice

    Thank you sir! Hopefully I won't drop much either. I'm getting between 14 and 15 now with a 50/50 highway/city mix. Got almost 21 a few weeks ago during a "night cruise" home to KY from MO with the A/C off and cruise set at 70mph!

    Need new Tires......Concerned about wheel width....Need some Advice

    I bought my 2003 Yukon about 5 years ago with BRAND NEW tires on it. Those finally got close to wearing out about a year ago, so I found some new wheels on Craiglist with decent tread on them, but somewhat dried out tires. Those are now worn out and it's time to get new tires. Here's the...
