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

Forgot--installed my front Hellwig today.

I went to the $50 amp on my 03. Iirc I needed a different belt, as the pulley on the 160 was bigger. I'm sure if you swap the alternator pulleys you should be fine---I just remembered that the 160 was bolted on and I was able to use the existing belt, which was older so it might've stretched out. When I eventually bought a new belt, I replaced with the exact belt that was on there, and it wouldn't fit. I had to go 1 or 2 sizes different. Just keep that in mind. Just my experience.

What $50 amp was that?

No rides yet. I'm hoping it was worth it tho. I only had to cut 1 bolt too lol.

Anybody ever see sway bar brackets break like this? It's on a 2007 Savanah 2500, short wheelbase, AC service van.

Yeah, agree. And I’m okay with that, but definitely do want a real AC Delco, and hopefully not a “professional”.. 160A (or more) would be great if an option @915_Tahoe ..

I installed the 145a alternator on my Tahoe and Silverado, and had to adjust the belt size as well. Most serpentine belt tensioners have a couple of marks that line up when you have the correct belt size installed. The Tahoe had a 130a unit from the factory and the Silverado had a 105a.

Happened to my '98 Blazer almost the exact same way. Don't suppose you were trying to climb a mountain in eastern Oregon like I was though They were Moog brackets I believe..

Bone stock with nearly 200k but this is the third or 4th time it's happened according to the owner. Bar doesn't appear to be upside down the original endlinks look proper and are actually in great shape even. This set was after market from some parts store they said, they will be replaced tomorrow with my original Tahoe brackets since I upgraded to the Hellwigs and have a set of steel ones on the shelf.

Didn't look for a manufacture name or # on it yet. Also I don't think it's ever left Florida and we don't have mountians haha
