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

Do you believe it yet?

no. fuse rating isn't even that high. generally a fuse rating is WAY above what it can actually draw also. but either way, that is ALOT lol wow. a ridiculous amount of alot!

Those aren't bump stops. Those are supposed to be touching. Basically they are part of the torsion bar dampening.

They were being pushed over from being to low. I just lifted it a bit. Did make it ride smoother

Our torsion bar suspensions actually are designed to use those as leverage. They aren't bump stops. If yours isn't sitting on those something is wrong. If they're pushed over its probably because they're collapsed from being worn out. I'd replace them and if they're still not in contact, I'd figure out why. I replaced mine and it made a difference.

This is my amp. The fuse rating is 1150amp. Plus I have a opti 250x4 and a opti 500x2 both are around 2000watts each

Well now that's just stupid loud bass !

Washed the truck this morning and threw a coat of Collinite's 845 Insulator Wax on. Missed all that TS Colin rain yesterday and only got 2 hours of her shined up today, but it sure beaded the water off when the rain came down. Objective achieved. Wash it again anyways.

Filled up the tank with 93 and took a spin down the race track I-95 to do a quick fuel economy check. Reset the DIC. Cruise control set at 65mph for about 5 miles. Managed to get it up to 15.8mpg and climbing had I gone further. City driving only yields 9-10mpg. Ugggghhh...mostly conservative...but sometimes you just gotta put your foot into it and hear that exhaust as you blow by some idiot texting while driving.

Photo just after the skies unloaded and before having to drive it.

Tie rods were replaced when I lifted it last September. They seem to be stout but I do think the arms might be next on the list. Anybody throw them expensive ass Rare Parts pitman & idler? Or should I just Moog 'em?

I responded to someone that was using something from rare parts recently.

I'm surprised that there isn't more information regarding steering upgrades from the 3/4 and 1 tons on these vehicles. The jeep guys do that stuff all the time.

I'm going with moog personally.
