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

Not sure how you feel about the oem part, but I've had bad luck with the aftermarket regulators through the shop I used to work at. Stopped selling the Dorman, and starter buying the Delco from Rock Auto and usually no issues unless the window guides need adjusted/lubed.

I would LOVE to get an OEM AC Delco regulator, but they are almost $200 each for the rear doors on my Suburban. I saw that Rockauto now has two AC Delco versions for some reason. One says "aftermarket part" and the other one says "OEM Replacement part. And by looking at the pictures of them, the more expensive one is definitely an OEM part, but the "aftermarket" AC Delco version looks IDENTICAL to the Dorman version, right down to the pigtail plug on the motor. So I honestly figured if I bought that one, I'd just be getting a rebranded Dorman part. After all, AC Delco is notorious for slapping their name on other peoples products. So bottom line, I'm gonna have to take my chance on this Dorman regulator because an OEM one cost 4 times as much, and I can't justify that.

And when I said I'm "Changing yet ANOTHER regulator....." I didn't mean that I keep on changing it. I've just had bad luck lately, seems like they all decided to take a shit one after the other. Not the same window over and over, lol.

Oh it's one of the rears. I figured it was the front. But I totally understand. We just had issues with aftermarket parts.

Front one just got replaced not too long ago. Those aren't nearly as expensive as the ones on the rear doors. No clue why the price difference though. Sometimes I can't justify the cost. But if its like only $30 more, hell yeah I will buy the better one!
The only time I DNGAF and buy absolute garbage ass parts, is when I'm about to sell the vehicle and I just want it working. I once put 12 dollar brake pads on a Honda because I knew I was selling it in a month or so. Lol

I also didn't see any major benefit of them, and I was also under the impression that the moogs were a direct oem replacement. They look exactly the same as the stockers when I changed mine. I'm holding off for a couple months and getting the Rare Parts ones. The video I saw of OEM vs Rare Parts sold me!

Strengthens the inner rod. Spreads the load out through much more of the threaded inner tie rod, reduced chance to bend them. If your tie rods are failing elsewhere it wouldn't be helpful.

The first test in that rare parts video where it shows the inner tie rod bending is a good example of what the sleeves would help protect against

added a little extra fill base to my Denali today. Got the early model OEM box and put this awesome speaker in it lol. Don't knock the speaker haha. I got it for $17 and it sounds great considering. I couldn't find the one I wanted in stock. I'll order it later and swap. I mounted the amp to the side of the box under the panel so everything is hidden.

I've been debating this, just don't know if it will be enough for me. I'm used to far more, but with third row I don't have much space to spare since will still need that tiny bit of cargo room for road trip's. I know it won't hit quite like my previous setups I've had in other vehicles.

Yeah we use our 3rd row daily with our 4 kids so this was the only choice.

Same problem here. At a minimum we usually have 2 but at max 5 it's a confusing situation haha. I've been looking at the jl 10" vented power wedge.
