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

[Scottydoggs]

I've seen a 4x4 hub FAIL right in front of my eyes one time. The axle was removed from the LF hub and driven, it came apart pulling into the shop. Wheel fell off, fender damage happened, and messed up the tie rod from the landing.

happened to my bosses truck. granted his shit was all sorts of messed up up front. wish i knew the front diff was being held in place with ratchet straps before i took many trips with him at 80 mph.

he had a axle go bad. and was unable to find one and had things to do. so he drove it. that wheel came off at 80 mph on the NJ tpk. i literally lmfao when i heard this went down. wheel smashed the hell out the fender, then it went under the truck and it messed up the rocker pretty good.

he actually went and got another truck, just for the cab chassis. his truck was a extended cab 3500 duramax pick up. his mechanic literally took the cabs off both trucks and swapped everything over to the donor, then had to gut both cabs inside to remove all the wire harnesses to put in the donor. same on the frame side of things. that engine and tranny and rears got to have 400- 500,000 on em by now.

Damn! Wonder how much that bill was. Was it even worth it?

Hence your promotion to lead mecha.....oh.

I was automatically DQ'ed for that position when I shot a stream of flaming brake cleaner at him under the bathroom door while he was dropping a deuce. Lit the roll of TP on fire.

That may have been the day he drug me out from under a car on my creeper and flung me into the street. Or maybe it was the day he dunked me head first into a trash can. Or maybe the day he poured used oil on my crotch as I was under a car. Or maybe the day he tapped on a truck's bumper with a ratchet when I started it after changing the oil, making it sound like the engine was knocking. Or maybe the day he...

not as much as it could have. he ran a garbage co, had full time mechanics on site daily. paid hourly.

no idea if this coming apart or back together lol

Damn. I just saw a RCSB NBS on the road missing both rear axles.. fuuuuuuck... one was about 15 ft away, and the other under the truck, but had pulled out about a foot and a half... whoops. Someone working on the rear end and forgot some c-clips..!?

Should've stopped to ask if he had rear end work done at a local shop so you'd know where NOT to go.

Man are those control arm bolts a ***** to remove !
I've been taking out my frustration on those mo-fos all damned day and still they remain, laughing at me.

Rusty? I've never had issues replacing mine.

Yeah, I think they rusted/seized to the bushing sleeves.

No amount of PBlaster/heat/pounding/spinning has gotten them to come out. I am done f-ing around with this - sawzall time.

so maybe someone can help me out, i have the brake lights on in the dash. i read threads that cleaning the grounds, re-soldering the module, and also pulling the fuse.
did the ground cleaning worked for awhile and came back on, i pulled the fuse from the engine bay lights stayed on is pulling the fuse supposed to turn the light off or just stop the pump from running.

Finally upgraded my head unit! Backup camera installed.. next, I’ll finish wiring up a second USB port, and eventually get another amp, to power the factory rear sub I have been sitting on for damn ever.. now I want to swap the rest of my dash lights for LEDs even more!..
