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

So much nicer. So you bent the shifter up so it sits higher? I need a vise. I bet if I tried to bend it while it's attached I'd def break something.

Oh hell no! Don’t try it while installed!!

Definitely! You can sometimes find great, high quality old vices for cheap. (Sometimes those people know their value though).. any new vice is going to be garbage metal unless you pay serious $$$ for it.

And I finally decided to replace

Before, with the stock NNBS shifter:

In park:


In drive:



After I bent the arm in the vice, I needed to clean up the shaft a bit since it was a little torn up / rough from the vice jaws:




Now the new park position:



And drive:




Then I started pulling off the shrink tubing I did last time, and desoldered the wires. These are really short, so didn’t want to cut any off if I didn’t have to:






Soldered to the original plug:



And 3 layers of shrink tubing, because I love that shit.. :

New park position:



Tow / Haul (BBP “Sport” mode) activates just fine, and the drive position:

Details! Kitchen counters work!

Unfortunately I rent, so I don't think the landlord would approve

I do have a tendency to break stuff.

Tonyrodz i like the contrast the orange needles create. Both look great and better than my boogered stocker

I wanted to get red needles but the guy said the blue leds would wash them out.

That's the damn truth! Bought one at Sears a few years back paid like $200-$300 it was a really big one. Put something in it and was giving it hell with a mini sledge for about a dozen blows until the jaw broke right off and nearly took out my flip flop clad toes lol.

I have scrounged some garage sale vices since then that say USA made on them instead of dang chineseium.
