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

No worries man, you’re always a huge help to many of us. When you have a minute, I’d like your thoughts on either a 145A factory / reman alternator, or a 160A. I’ll have to figure out the belt length as well if I go with the 160A I guess, which sucks, since my Gates micro-v fleet green belt just arrived yesterday. Lol.
On another note, do you know if the 160A was an upgrade, due to the efan change in 2005?

You could always send the belt back. This is the belt that worked for me when I swapped to the 160 amp alt.

Sweet. Thanks T! Was this on your 6.0..? I wonder if the idlers, tensioners, etc.. are the same size / distance apart..? I’d expect so, but just wondering.

@Sam Harris You could try this one. I'm not sure if you have pwr fold or not.

You could always pop the mirror and leds out. I ordered from them before and the mirror itself (the glass)looked fine.

Sorry if it was a confusing post. I only intend to replace the mirror glass. I purchased a replacement DL3 from an eBay seller, and it turned out to be a lot looser than the one I was planning to replace..!

Not confusing. You could always combine the 2 to make 1 good one. The glass just pops off--of course be careful.
This is what the leds look like under the glass.

Gotcha. I hadn’t considered just replacing the LEDs..

Something I have been wanting to do for a long time but put it off for some reason... Today, I replaced my headlights, turn signal lights and fog lamps along with put a new gold Bow tie for the front of the vehicle. On the back, I replaced both license plate lights with new LED's which look and work much better! Last week, I got my headliner redone by an upholstery shop locally. Looks like new! It is the little things that add up to make a big difference in the look and enjoyment of driving these old vehicles.

So I’ve replaced both mirrors on the Yukon at one time or another. The driver side was shot when I bought it. Now, the passenger side has several LEDs out, and I’m looking for a better replacement. Looking on RA, they have quite a variety, but the ones that would be correct are $150-200, and still not OEM. Does anyone have suggestions, or a part number..? I’m guessing the OEM is no longer made / available. It has heat, turn indicator, and auto-darkening.

ETA:
ok, so OEM is available, for $300+… I don’t think I want to spend that on a damn side mirror, but I do want all the original features. Most aftermarket ones are not auto-darkening.
So I’ll edit my request.. lol. Looks like the OEM part is: 88944392, which has heat, turn indicator and auto-darkening.

Does anyone have a decent aftermarket replacement that has these features, and you’re happy with it? I replaced this one probably about 18 months ago, maybe less, and the LEDs are already going out

pretty sure if you search ebay, you can find just the mirror.

One might wonder if the solder joints might just need to be reflowed, considering the issues we've all had with other components and the lead-free solder.

Any help here fellas..? I need to return this “professional”, and I figured I’d just tell Summit I want p/n: blah.

I’d be happy to increase the amperage a bit, since I’ll be doing the efan conversion soon. Perhaps the efans are the reason the 2005 has a 160A… thanks man. Appreciate it. Not sure if it will work or not, but helpful nonetheless.
