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

[Rocket Man]

This thing is pretty slick, I'm gonna do the ABS bleed on the brakes tomorrow. It keeps throwing a code for the ECBM and I noticed the wheel speed sensors fluctuating from each other a little. The ABS engages when coming up to a stop light. So I'm hoping to get that figured out.
These things are only $259 on Amazon right now, and they seem like a good tool to have. Says that it works on up to 2015 most vehicles, 2018 GM.

Why buy that as opposed to a Tech2 which can be had for about the same price?

Does tech 2 do other manufacturers? I was under the impression that it was gm only.

Its looking like I'm gonna reflow some solder points on this EBCM today...

Nope, GM only so I guess that answers my question. I only own GM vehicles.

I still may get a tech 2 or an emulator. But I have a Ford 500, that I already read with this Autel. And I read a dodge for my buddy too.

I can not figure these wheel speed sensors out. I'm wondering if I shouldn't have used all four of the shims on the new one, or if I need a new one on the driver's side too.
Im trying to look up the rear sensor/sensors, but the scan tool only shows 1 value for the rear. I guess I just need to jack it up and pop the rear wheels off.

You might only have one for the rear, I believe it’s on the transfer case. These years it depends on the options. If you only have one brake hose in the rear between the body and diff you don’t have speed sensors at each wheel. The Tech2 will read the sensors in real time (mph) so you can drive and watch if one is being erratic.

So it is the apeed sensor on the transfer case then. I definitely don't have any sensors near the rear wheels, but I think I might have put a stop to this rubbing noise that was bothering me. The dust shield was super rusty, I just ripped the majority of it off of there lol.
I don't know wether I should solder this EBCM or keep messing with these sensors, my tool will only graph two sensors at a time, so it's kind of hard to tell which one is messing up. I should probably just put new sensors in so I know that's not the problem. They aren't messing up enough to throw a code, unless they are making it throw the co295, but it says that is the EBCM.
One of these days I will get it fixed...

 

[Walchit]

I took it for another drive and took video with my phone,so I could watch it when I got home lol.
Pretty sure it's the new one, so I will pull it out and see if maybe it's shorter than the stock one and needs less shims or something.

Battery died about 50 miles from home. Luckily a Costco was a few miles down the road. I usually carry at least a 8/10 mm wrench/socket/ratchet for emergencies . I was able to loosen up the 14 mm bolt for the battery tie down with some pliers.

After a routine transmission fluid check the other day, I decided it’s a little too brown.. it doesn’t smell burnt, so that’s good. I last drained and filled, with filter change, and vette servo install at 195k miles, and I’m currently at 217, so figure she’s about due.

Trying to locate the best filter.. AC Delco..? Wix..?

Also plan to purchase genuine AC Delco fluid. Does anyone have a good source.? I seem to be running into the same issues with finding parts and fluids with this, as with my Wix oil filters..

I don’t recall if I have the “deep pan” or standard. Would that be in my build sheet, or based on VIN?

Another thing.. I have been using ACDelco oil for the last 1.5 years or so, and am quite happy with it. But can anyone tell me why there are different part numbers on some of the quarts..? I want to ensure this is genuine oil, and not some rip-off..!
