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

[blueinkd]

I did not TBH.. I was worried about it slipping and damaging the wheel. I’m glad I got it. It’s possible I could have with the key, but the damn thing is so shallow to begin with, I actually was worried about it slipping while I was I was installing, before it broke. Just seems like a crap design to me. Maybe these actually are OEM…!?

I'm with you. Earlier in the year I had the same issue. McGard makes quality wheel lugs and locks. My issue was overall lug length. They referred me to the correct ones when I complained!! After I gave them the part# I bought from Amazon. Which part # did u buy??

Also discovered today that the “Gorrilla” wheel locks I like a lot don’t really make a lot of contact in / on the wheel, even though they are the correct, conical style. So I went looking for the proper wheel lock set for the ‘15 GMC wheels I have.. part: 84488348 for the GM OEM / GM Performance part. Looked on Summit Racing, and almost dropped the $80 on that, until I saw it wouldn’t ship until mid-November.. Ebay seller has the genuine, new part for $30.37 shipped. Hell yeah! Hopefully it’s the real deal. Any tips how to verify are welcome. View attachment 349995

These are labeled 2011-2021. I'm sure they are not long enough to accommodate the longer wheel studs on our rigs.

I didn’t realize our rigs had longer studs. When I installed the OEM ‘15 wheels on my ‘03, I also ordered the ‘15 lugs for them. Those have worked perfectly, but I obviously have an issue with the ‘15 locks.. so you’re saying I need a deeper socket for the lock..? I’ll buy that. But does that amount of material (especially considering it’s apparent lack of quality steel) seem sufficient to hold 140 ft lbs..?

I bought part #: 84488348. I still say there’s very little steel to hold that torque, even at the correct length.

Regardless of the metallurgy, the marks on the tip of the stud and the fact that it even contacted indicate that the nut was too short. I'd get deeper nuts or trim the tips of the studs some.

I bought McGard 24215 in chrome for my Silverado and 24216 in black for the Denali. They’re listed as 1.965” overall length. Both sets work great.

All i am saying is that the specific set you just used does not list our year trucks under the application chart. Those locks are hitting the top of the wheel stud before seating all the way into the wheel. I dealth with the same issue earlier in the year when Mcgard customer service pointed that out to me. I picked up a set from Amazon with the correct thread pitch but too short, so now im riding around with broken locks like u saw in my picture.

this is weird as the Mcgard website specs both of those at 1.639 overall length??

Funny thing is my locks have only broken like that on the front studs. I have Moog wheel Hubs up front. the rear ones are just fine and have yet to break off.

You're correct, I'm not sure where I got 1.965. They're long enough to not bottom out but I am running reps and billets, no stock wheels.

Man I hadn't even considered the design of the wheels affecting lug length.
