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

[Tonyrodz]

Have any of you guys had your steering wheel leather wraps replaced? Mine's looking fairly worn...

On Ebay there's quite a few sellers on there who sell the leather steering wheel skins to redo the leather wheel yourself. I've done it twice for customers and it didn't look bad at all.

Yes, @treehan77 I believe is our tester. Perhaps he can weigh in on the cleaning before application..? [emoji51][emoji106][emoji16]

Yeah I washed the truck, then scrubbed the running boards and all black trim I was applying it with blue dawn. Then alcohol. I actually did multiple times, I didn’t want any issues. I was pretty surprised at how much better they looked after just a good scrubbing-after years of applying goo to them.

Once with dawn and alcohol would surely be good enough I guess. The directions recommend Dawn. I blew it off and let it dry overnight in the garage. You definitely don’t want water to mix with it or drip on it.

Blue Dawn....sounds like either a **** name or some new drink or maybe even a new drug.

Hey, mate

Did you bake them to open or just pried?

Also, would u mind to give a link to the projectors inside?

Cheers, Pavel

Hi, I used a heat gun. It came off easily once that butyl was warm. I've been trying to look for a seller online, but unfortunately can't find any. I just picked these up from a shop overseas. I'll definitely post it when I find it.

Cheers!

After 2 months sitting in garage(new radiator, hoses, pump, efan conversion...etc.) finally take a ride, after 20mins back cover from water pump pop out and dumped all coolant.
****** GMB, I hoped it will last at least a year, not 20min. :-(

Hope AcDelco OEM WP will last until warranty, fingers crossed.

Good reason to not buy cheap parts. At least you weren’t on a trip 1000 miles from home. Gates also makes great water pumps.

I have it as a spare for some years in garage from previous owner, i dont want to use it, but I messed threads on my original pump when removing fan clutch, and in that time a want car ready as soon, so i dont want to wait 2weeks for new pump and pay twice for customs and shipping, as I have before MOT(National Inspection and smog test), and in my country they dont like DOT on lights and missing rear fog, missing stamped VIN so I want spare some money for other jobs

You see how the knobs are smaller on the main ac control, not sure if they should be bigger or if i need the Escalade ac control

Mine aren’t like that, they’re bigger.

Ok guys, I know those knobs are hard to find.. but I’m not finding anything showing those knobs at all. Even the factory replacement stuff are showing the same knob style I have, when looking for Esky knobs / hvac controls. The knobs in your pictures look to be exactly the same as the headlight knob. Is it the same one..? What model / year had the larger, smooth knobs..?

AFAIK you could never buy just the knobs. I bought the entire control heads from used Escalades on eBay.
