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

[Rocket Man]

Yeah dude I think both sides on mine broke at the very back towards the firewall and maybe even the ones in front of those it had a bad exhaust leak so I grabbed a ratchet to see if I can just snug them up and as soon as I put the sock it to them they just fell right out like they were sitting in their dead. My dad owns an auto shop here in town and he said that's common for these things.

Dorman makes a clamp for those broken exhaust manifold bolts that actually works pretty damn good if it's one that you can't drill out.

Not today, but took Big Red down to Cedar Key on the 4th. First time ever being down there. Took about an hour and a half drive from where we live in Ocala. Really cool place. Definitely going again.

One a sidenote, the old 'hoe did great. There was one instance of the transmission being weird though. Stopped at a stopsign and the transmission didn't shift down into 1st. Only did it that one time on the way there and hasn't done it since. Maybe time for a filter change?




Nice rig, neighbor!

Appreciate it brother! You as well.

How'd you know? C'mon over, I'll buy the keg and bring you drinks as you work on my truck

So, maybe I don't need a new trans...

Noticed in the last week the locks cycling as I drove, last Monday the truck wouldn't respond to my aftermarket alarm and being an old installer I realized the oem actuators "fell asleep" (I remember it being an issue in the bay years ago when the NBS first came out)....still having a stumble from a dead stop, but was occurring in all gears so I knew it wasn't gear related/was something else. No codes thrown on a cheap handheld or through Torque app.


So, I realized while on my second 3hr drive this week that the trans would shift fine for awhile and the locks would cycle and go back to the crappy stumble. Checked all fuses, all good...removed TCB and ECM fuse under hood for few minutes, reinstalled, and tightened down ground cable at battery. Seems to have worked for now.

May need to finally get a post mount battery and do the big 3....cheaper than a new trans

Cliffs notes: bad battery ground, ****** shifts due to BCM resetting due to said ground cable, truck shifted perfect last 50 miles of the trip and on side roads from a stop....keep fingers crossed.

The thread title is "what did you do to your NBS/GMT800 today" and I'll bet all that didn't happen today lmao. Unless you had a small army working on it. How long did it take?

 

[MrBalll]

Changed out the washer fluid reservoir for the third time in the eight years I've owned it.

 

[ArcticYukon]

Washed, waxed, and detailed my Yukon. Also installed some new blue LED DRLs. But, I think they are too blue; will likely get pulled over.

I freakin' love the way this looks man. Are the tires oversize diameter, or about the same as stock?
