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

[Will Carlson]

I finally figured out how to get the knobs for Toyota Tacoma to work. And put them on. Really like them. They light up nice with my leds and really add to and change the look of the interior. Posted up some pictures of them lit up so everyone can see what they look like. Decided with this instead of the Escalade knobs being they’re so hard to find and for $20 of Amazon not too bad. Also like them a little better they’re more fancy in my opinion. Not exactly a direct fit. You have to take the metal pieces out of the old knobs and put in these knobs and glue the pieces into place and take a dremel tool and dremel one to mimic the plus sign for the headlight switch. What’s everyone think?

The knobs themselves look nice but I’m not a fan of all the colors. The only one I like for interiors is white or blue. Good work though. I was lucky enough to get Escalade knobs for all my controls.

Can I just say "very jealous" to answer your question?

@Rocket Man Good luck Mark. Hope for the best. Bob

Hey @RAMurphy when your ac system got metal pieces in it and you had to flush it, what did you use? I’m wondering that since mine has a leak and so at the very least it must be contaminated, is there anything I need to do to flush it when I replace everything. Alldata states to immediately cap the lines when a component is removed and since mines leaking…am I being too worried? Maybe I just need to recharge it afterwards and not worry? Alldata states to use a special tool to flush it with but I don’t have access to one.

@rocket Of course this was like 10 years ago, but I used a product like this - it may actually be what I used:

https://www.amazon.com/Interdynamic...ords=a/c+flush+solvent&qid=1660995710&sr=8-36 t

I do know I used several cans and compressed air (very low pressure) to force the flush further into the system. Let it sit for a while. Then used compressed air to dry it out. I went both directions in the lines and multiple times. I have rear A/C and that took the longest. I opened up the system in the back and did the same thing. When I ran the flush through it the first time, I actually could see small shavings in the rag on the other side of the system when I was blowing it dry. Like I said took most of the weekend. My compressor was put to the test. I then put it all back together with new seals/o-rings. Took it to the shop I use and they put a vacuum on it to pull any air in the system and what not and then filled the system with freon. Been operational ever since. Again, Good Luck and hope what you find is minor.

Well of course mine is worse case scenario. I feared as much. I did find the leak though- the high pressure switch was blown off the back of the compressor. There was not even any oil left in it. And the orifice tube is packed with metal. Arrrrgggghhhh. I quit for the day. I did get the compressor mounted, those two bottom bolts are a bear.

I ordered a flush kit off Amazon,one day delivery. Ill chronicle this in my build thread so I don’t clog this one up.

Installed the new coolant overflow tank. Oh so THATS the cooking level? :p Love my spring clamp pliers, they make this so easy. Stop spending my money on tools!!!!!

@Rocket Man Mark sorry for the results. Just a follow-up when I flushed my system and then used compressed air to dry it out I cut off the flush tube from the cannister and attached it to my compressor blower tool. I know I said it took me the entire weekend but I wanted to ensure I dried it out totally.
