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

I'm just using factory replacement MOOG parts personally. Just commenting that I am surprised to not see a lot of guys going that route. Can't be too hard to get some of the 3/4 ton stuff to work on our 1/2 ton trucks. I'll bet that would be way cheaper than rareparts stuff, which imho is crazy expensive. It looks like good parts though, I can see how some people would be willing to spend that.

I've had the HD links in my hands and the shaft that goes into the knuckle is bigger than on the 1500's. Me and the guy at the tire/alignment shop had all kinds of parts out. Would require figuring out a way to either drill out the 1500 knuckle or get a 2500/3500 one to mount up. By the time you go through all that its worth the $275 for the beefy Rare Parts links that bolt right up. IMO

Thats easy, an $80 reamer bit could open up that knuckle. Jeep guys do it pretty commonly. What is the difference in cost between the 2500/1500 links?

Didn't check the Moog's, I was looking at the Fabtechs. $$$$$$$$

BlackBear tune.
I got 1-2 mpg more on the old engine. Since the new lq4 is tight my mpg has dropped a bit.

If you guys are running larger than factory diameter tires you need to remember that and account for it. With the speedo reading under, so does the odometer meaning you are traveling more miles than its registering.

If they have BBP tunes, the larger diameter tires have probably been accounted for. They calibrated my speedo for my 305/30-26 tires when I did my tune. I currently get 11- 12 city/hwy combined in my Denali. I don't go by my DIC though, it says I'm getting way more. I use the trip meter between fillups and do the math.

Scored some Escalade AC and headlight knobs. View attachment 63313

Where'd you get those? I've been looking but can't find any. I was hoping I could find a p/n to get some new ones.

I actually found a 02 Escalade being parted out and I scored them. You cannot order just these knobs, you would actually have to order the whole Escalade AC panel just to get the knobs. AC Delco/GM would make a fortune if they sold just the knobs.
So the only way to get JUST these knobs is to get them like I did, find someone selling them. I have heard of quite a few people "swiping" them from car lots. One guy said he saw a 02 Esky for sale, so he went to go test drive it, but put his stock AC knobs in his pocket first. Swapped them out in like 30 seconds, and the salesman never noticed a thing.

Trade my wheels and tires for some NNBS GMC chrome 18s the other day


Got cash on top so I picked up some 295/70r18 Terra grapps. Got them put on at work today and I couldn't be any happier.


Picked some OE color paint as well for the esky rack I have going on hopefully this week.

Looks good. Esky rack will tie in that chrome really nice.

That's what I'm hoping for. Need to pick up clear and some 320 sand paper to strip the paint that is currently on them off.
