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

Random. Does anyone know if the Energy Suspension 3.1143R torsion bar bushings will work on a 2005 2WD Tahoe? I can’t find the answers anywhere really and the one thread I found info on hasn’t been responded to in a few years.

There are bushings on the torsion bars?

Yeah. Well the torsion bar cross member mounts. Where the bars and keys sit. There’s bushing on the ends where it mounts to the frame.

The interior plastics are showing some age and I bought a NOS rear scuff plate in a different color so I’m painting today.

Amazing, not sure there is anyone on this forum that can keep up with you and your improvements.

Just be happy it wasn’t the recirc actuator. You’re supposed to remove the entire dash sub assembly to do it but there’s a cheat. It’s still super hard, makes that one look like a cake walk.

Yeah I’m gonna avoid the recirc one hopefully. It squawks every once in a while. If I have to, I’ll do the evaporator core and any thing else that in there

the hot cold actuator for the driver side is also a treat, dash needs to come out, cut a ac vent. oh joy lol

Hmmm maybe I’m confused but I already did that one, it was easy. The one for the driver hot/cold is on the passenger side of the middle/console area?

Interesting. Wonder if those need looking at on my rig since it's over 250k miles.

Only reason I even found out about them is my constant research trying to find this creak/squeak/annoyance since I bought this Tahoe. Finally after about a year or so of replacing parts here and there I “think” I narrowed it down to those bushings. Trying to find them now is another challenge.

Ah. I was picturing the bars themselves and was like "first off, they have hexagonal ends". I didn't even think about the cross member. Disregard me.
