^^ This. And to add, they seem to be a lot less susceptible to the fuzzy corrosion that top posts get when not maintained. This is the first vehicle I've had with side posts and I've been pleasantly surprised by the connections.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Probably due to not having a huge chunk of lead exposed to the environment.
Wheels! and tires. My tires were 5 years old and severely worn on the inside. I found a guy locally who was selling the 18s off his brand new 2022 Silverado. Less than 1k miles on the wheels and tires. Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT with DOT dates of 0122! $500 out the door.

Does anyone know what this line is for? I thought it was a vent for the rear--it's not. Kind of above the spare tire.

if it ends at the rear end diff its the vent. if it is, zip tie it to the bottom of the truck so water cant get into it, like floods and crap like that.

I don't think it does. It looks like it's coming from above the rear diff--from the crossmember above the diff. I couldn't see very well, but I think it's tee's off of something up there. You can really see what I'm talking about in the last pic.

Decided to change the condenser, a/c would blow colder when driving. I had one I ordered last year for the Tahoe but the A/C started working fine - go figure. Went to install it and it is way bigger than the old one and no way could I connect the bottom line, its too long. Ordered another one and it's same size - Either I messed up measuring, reading my measurements or translating from MM to inches and looking at a gazillion ones on rockauto I ended up getting one too big again!
Thankfully I decided to order the tubing that has the low pressure port since the threads were a little messed up and it cost $25 bucks or so but you had to get the whole line. After looking at the new line my theory is someone replaced the condenser with a used one from a non rear a/c and replaced the line (I'm assuming a non rear ac has smaller condenser). The new line elbow is way shorter.
The reason I think it was used was when I got the Denali it had a sparkplug wire 4 feet long all zip tied up (No joke). My theory is the PO was taking it to a mechanic who has a junk yard out back and he was using old parts to save $$
