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

Huh, the dorman shaft and bearing clunked worse than the original for me

View attachment 255363 Finally got the newest design GM shaft and bearing in, no more clunk. Here’s the failed OEM, and the failed from the start dorman parts. Shoulda took pic with all 3, since they are all different lol

How much was the new one? Where you find it? Hard job?

I just shipped the ‘99 off to my cousin’s deer lease. It’s gonna get a lift and some country goodies.

Please post some interior pics.

I added a grease fitting to mine and the clunking went away. I've only greased it twice in 8 years

Where you put it?

Where you put it?

I put it I about an inch from the nut on the shaft under the hood. I drilled the shaft in place and did not have to remove it. The video shows that you have to remove the shaft. Make sure you put epoxy on the bottom of the shaft if not the grease is not going to stay in place.

Help me decide which tires to get!

So I’ve been very happy with the Yokohama’s I currently have. I want very little road noise, and winter snow / ice traction is important.

These are going on my 2015 Yukon wheels, so size will be 285/60R18.

I’m leaning towards the KO2’s, but the Grabbers get even better ratings. They’re all pretty close, just looking for first hand experience and feedback, especially from anyone whose had more than one of these tires.

Stay away from BFG's if you want a quiet ride.

Most of BFG's tires are load ranges D and E and they tend to give a very harsh ride - they are great tires, especially off road - BUT their on road ride characteristics are not the best. If most of your driving is on asphalt I would try to stay with load ranges P or C - much better ride quality.

Modified my NNBS shifter, I did not like how it looked. A grinder, vice and a little elbow grease got it to look how the NBS shifter sits.
