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

[Scotteg83]

Had to replace the Left front caliper, pads, and rotor. Pulling a trailer around and came home to a smoking rotor.

Luckily I just did the brakes last month, so I got them warrantied and bought a replacement caliper

Probably. But it would have high and low spots all over the contact area. Not consistent like that. I’m gonna pull it apart this weekend.

How about this for a simple thread. I know a lot of us do simple stuff to our trucks everyday and we don't make a new thread for everything we do. So if you did something neat, simple, or just want to brag about a new cool piece you threw on your ride post it up. I figure this thread will also bring inspiration to others as well.

I'll start.....

Today I did some spring cleaning to the my '01 Tahoe. I washed it and cleaned out the inside. I also ordered some new JL audio speakers for the doors and front and rear Weathertech floor mats. I also put some sound deadening material in the doors.

Jack your post count up, and post away.

I want to do this. Is it plug n play? Do I need larger than stock wheels? (I’m sure) can you just buy off the shelf calipers, and bolt them on?

Pretty much plug and play on stock 17s.

Of note, if you're like me and hate clip on weights, use the thin sticky weights. Not the thick(heavy) ones. I have maybe 2mm of clearance between my wheel weights and caliper. They rub the slightest bit on hard turns.

Good point. I never even thought of weights. I know it's pretty tight with 17s.

Put the 22's on, just so I can save the 17's for winter driving.
It was like 150 degrees--cut the grass too!

Noticed the dreaded door rust on the drivers rear. Also did the passenger rear and liftgate along the seams while I was at it.

Before :



Sanded/cleaned up:



After:



Tailgate shot for good measure :



We'll see how it all holds up. Hopefully I caught it in time.

How'd you prep after sanding it down?
