Yeah was driving me crazy not seeing the buttons. I ended up with 3 fobs so I still have one good one left. The little things...
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Paid a garage to do mine back in 2013. Cost around $300. Worth it imo!

Much rather do one of these than any of the older vortec engines.

Agreed and after I swapped my entire engine myself, this seems so much more simple although everything you remove from the top of the engine is the same for either lol

Minus the distributor, and annoying threaded fuel line that's conveniently tucked back behind the drivers head on the 5.7. I like everything about working on the LS based engines. Stupid simple over older generations. Last engine swap I did on one of the newer trucks only took me about 7 hours.

I was quoted $450 to do it. I'm a broke sumbitch, so I have no choice but to do it myself. I'd be done if I would have just slapped it all back together, but while I have everything apart, I'm CLEANING all the crud off the intake, the edges of the heads, and other accessible areas. Its 15 years worth of dirt, grease and leaves and what not. I want a good clean surface to make sure that the new intake gasket has a tight secure seal. Plus I have a bad back, so I had to keep stopping every so often and take a break. I got the new sensors in, torqed to 15 ft/lbs and sealed the new harness with blue RTV sicone, then made a 1/2 inch high dam in front of the rear knock sensor with the rest of the tube. I called it a night, I'll let that cure and put everything else back together tomorrow.

Oh, and I also replaced the cabin air filters. If you've never tried this, try wrapping a sheet of fabric softener dryer sheets around the filter before sliding it up into the housing. The air blowing out my AC vents smells like CLEAN FRESH laundry now. No clue how long it will smell fresh like that though.

Same here. $300 (3hrs labor) and I didn't have to sit on top of my radiator support and other places to do it for hours. Mechanic cleaned my entire engine too. I always thought the block and heads were black! Lol

Got my esky rack installed. And also picked up some 33x12.50r18 toyo m/ts for my tahoe. Didn't like the Terra grapps. And couldn't beat the deal on decent tires.
Can't see the rack very well I need better pics.
