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

[Tonyrodz]

Driving to Newark airport, suddenly I start hearing a horrible clanging/grinding sound on the highway. It seems to stop when I let off the gas. I end up driving the rest of the way to the airport on the HWY at 20mph (it was NOT fun, but there was no way in hell I was missing my flight to Iceland). Make it to the airport, leave it in economy parking and catch my flight. Once I returned I had it towed to a shop in Brooklyn. It's hard to say what went bad first, but by the time the shop looked at it, the transmission was so mangled they couldn't even rebuild it. SO to the tune of $3300 I had a new transmission put in. Had them fix the AC while they were at it (thank god).

So I'm back up and running. Probably going to focus on paint/body work and 6 piston brakes next. These stock brakes aren't really can't handle these oversize wheels and tires.

Engine light went on the other day. Blue Driver picked up code P0135. One of the upstream O2 sensors needed replacing. Mechanic needed to heat it up and it still took all the threads out with it. Had to rethread but it is fixed now. Gonna be one hell of a truck after all these repairs.

How do you like the Belltech shocks? I’m debating those or Bilstein 4600’s had the Belltech silver shocks on my OBS with a mild drop rode good

It's not bad. I only have blown autoride to compare to. I do however wish I went with the 4600s I hear. Get things about them

I noticed the roof trim ripping off my roof. I guess it "might" have something to do with repeatedly driving in speeds in excess of 100mph. Lol

Debating on whether I should clean the section that peeled off and apply new 3M molding tape. Or else should I rip the entire thing off and redo the whole thing with new double sided tape? Or else should I just rip it off and leave it off? Lol

I'd try 3M hi-bond tape if you have some or can get some but the stuff's not cheap. Mine was missing a part of it when I bought the truck and I replaced the whole strip. I don't think it was too expensive. BTW got the harness installed yesterday and was able to confirm operation of both fans. (It was 90 yesterday) But today it's cool so I didn't need them. Supposed to be back in the 90's next week though so I'll see how it does.

Just performed a legit oil change, it had been a year so I figured why not. Fram Ultra filter and 15-40 Rotella for the win!

Sounds like a little more air tunnel time may be necessary to determine the integrity of the remaining portion.
