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

[Rocket Man]

Cleared the ice off The Beast and went for a drive today. The video is short because of all the idiots in the streets. It turns into a real shit show here. I saw 2 people drive their cars right into 12” deep slushy snow and immediately get stuck. It’s so funny watching.

Been quite the journey with everyone on here. Best forum on the internet hands down.

Just sad that I never made TOTM

Valve covers and grommets done. Highly recommend “baking” your grommets at 200F in the toaster oven for 10 minutes. I read the felpro ones like to rip on install. So I practiced with my old ones. Required way too much effort (even with lube) to not rip some. I put the bolts in the freezer overnight, then cooked the grommets, and they went on super easy without damaging any. Replaced the filler neck-stupid thing still doesn’t fit flush like I think it should. Oh well, pretty easy job except for that passenger side coil pack bracket stud in back. Happy not to find sludge or chocolate milkshake hehe heh. Now I know I have 862 heads.

Nice. Being new to the forum this is great tip since my rig is high miles and surely could use this. Any links to a quick walk through? Just wondering on tips and tricks. The valve covers on my 2001 mustang were a pain in the rear to do, especially the driver side

Yep the last coil bracket bolt in the back of the passenger side is almost enough to make me say f it and leave it off but I just can’t do that.

How in the world do you adjust the Depo Headlights.

I know there is a screw facing front and one facing the bottom. (I’m assuming I have to take the lights off repeatedly to adjust the bottom screw).

I can’t seem to get any of my screw drivers to adjust the top side screw. I have to guess I am missing something.

Takes a small socket, not sure what size just try some till you find the one that fits, you need a extension as well to reach down in there.

So I had to grab my small socket set. It takes a 5/32 or maybe the Metric equivalent. My poor eyesight couldn’t make out the find edges to even notice a socket could fit.
So ultimately you need 5/32 for the left and right then a 3” extension plus 5/32 to adjust up and down.
Seems odd never put any aftermarkets on any of vehicles that used a socket.

The adjustment points are standard both on top one on the left and one on the right with each headlight.

No google search came up with anything. Other than one individual stating he had to remove the depo lights to adjust them.
Appreciate the help

the oem ones used a philips or a socket, the aftermarket just cheaped out and made the metal rod smaller so only a socket works, you can swap the oem adjusters on if you want to not hard to do at all I used to keep a couple spares around because the cheaper aftermarket lights always came with crappy plastic adjusters that were stripped right out of the box.
