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

[HiHoeSilver]

Turned the stock keys 2 more turns passenger side, and 3 more driver side. Now between 36.5-37” from ground to wheel well lip on all 4 corners. Replaced jounce stops with new ones, but the energy suspension spacers I bought are too tall, so returning those for 1/4” spacers. Replaced just pads on the front brakes, since I’ll be doing the NNBS brake upgrade after I wear out my tires. Added BG ATC Plus to the transmission, hoping to get enough out of it while I save for my swap.. Alignment tomorrow..

You could save your alignment $ and HAVE TO get to that nnbs upgrade a little quicker!

Any comments on price are appreciated. I know it depends on area.

here’s a similar listing in my area:

Hehehe.. well, I still have a lot of miles left on these tires, before I get new ones on the 18” wheels. More maintenance on the Yukon, and my Civic needing done, so I’m fine with waiting. Plus, they will re-align for free for 1 year. [emoji16][emoji106]

I got my brush guard and led bar installed. Just waiting for new led bar brackets to come in the mail.

Finally found a day to change out my tie rods. Whack with the BFH and both sides broke free.

Here is a pick of the OEM and Moog problem solver ready to go on.

And digging around I see the upper control arm bushings are a little cracked. It can wait if needed. Only the lower arms were replaced when it was lowered. I wish I had done the uppers, but it was $$ at the time. Nonetheless, Moog, Energy Suspension or other doe anybody recommend?

Doesn't have to be today as I need to get the tie rods buttoned up and was going to go get it aligned ASAP.

Can I change out the upper arm bushings later without an alignment? Rather not have to pay for an extra alignment and hopefully he doesn't find anything else when it goes on the rack. Thx.

those are the sway bar end links. I used the Moog Problem Solver. I think Foss used the same.

I have the same ones

I like the mevotech, they use a different type of bushing material and they are reinforced with a tube slider not just the bolt, cheap only $13 (each) on rockauto

Had myself a good fucky wucky

Was talking on the phone in the car earlier tonight

Had engine off, on accessory, chit chatting

Got out of the car, locked car w/ fob, forgot to take key out. Stillllll on accessory

Fast forward to 1am

Go to drive off

Can't find my key

The oh shit **** moment dawns on me

Keys still in the car

Great.

Go out, try to unlock it.

Battery is shit ******* dead. Can't get into the car. I could unlock it if I had my key, but it's locked in the car

WOOOO


So I return to get a knife and a spatula to finaggle open my hood latch

Dog flips shit when I leave and has a panic attack

Need to calm her down

Get her cool, give her a pig ear, take off

**** up the knife on the hood latch

Need to take a different approach

Go back to the room. Pig ear 1/4 gone. On the clock now. Grab my break-in shit

With the help of a nice, though confused passerby directing me, I manage to finaggle my way into the car, get the door unlocked, and get the hood open

Hook up my jump box

"tick tick tick tick"

Nope. Jump box is too small

**** me

Crawl into the trunk, get my jumper cables.

No one around

Go stand in the middle of the intersection, cables in hand, waiting for someone to drop by

They crack a "you're not going to murder me, right?" joke.

I get a jump and yeetlereedoo on out of there


Obligatory pic of doggo
