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

Quick paint on my horribly weathered antenna. Probably shoulda done a little more prep and a better job.

The antenna looks perfect...... ( It's not as if it's a hood ornament )

A few years ago a carwash bent my rear wiper arm and I was surprised at how easy it was to replace. You might just want to buy a new OEM one and install it

Took the truck for a drive today and I heard a very low grinding noise. I thought it was the ds cv axle finally giving up the ghost. The boot has been torn for a few years. Got out and looked underneath, nothing jumped out at me, so I said F it. Drove it about 40 miles round trip. Seemed to be getting louder as I was getting closer to home. Got out and looked at the wheel and noticed the outer edge of the rotor was getting a little scored, so I thought maybe something with the brakes on that side. Get home and take everything apart.
I started moving the axle around and it started raining these bearings.
The rotor doesn't look too bad. I'm thinking I might be able to slap the brakes back together without having to clean up the rotor. Suggestions on that?
There's just a little bit of play.

This is when I put the wheel back on. Think there's 3 lugs holding it with them tight.

You can always put it together and see what happens, but depending on how many miles your rotor has, I'd probably lean towards getting it resurfaced at a local auto parts store before I reinstalled it.

I installed the brakes this summer. Has less then 1k on them.

You are so lucky that thing didn't separate

I agree. The outer ring of that inner bearing/race was stuck between the hub and nose of the axle. As soon as I pulled it out that's when all the bearings started dropping out.

That has a few more miles left in it!
