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

[TheAutumnWind]

Ya, I cant wait, i have a 13 Camaro 1le, and my wife has a 13 malibu...and i did too much work to the camaro to be a daily so i bought the yukon (lol, its my gas saver compared to the camaro now) but it was a huge disappointment on how spongy/soft the brakes are compared to my other vehicles...so i did some research and I was also going to do the hydroboost upgrade also, but i have the adjustable pedal and i dont know if i want to have to swap that all out to...so hopefully ill be happy with what im doing.

I've been quite impressed with the brake feel on my denali xl with a stock hydroboost setup FWIW.

Changed the alternator (195k) on original). Also changed the oil and filter

Well guys, i decided since I was due for a brake job to go ahead and do the gmt900 upgrade, 07 tahoe (raybest rebuild) calipers and brackets, wagner pads, and russle braided brake hoses, and ebc dimpled and slotted rotors

are those a direct bolt on? what year is your truck?

How did you know it was going out?

I had a pulley bearing go back in the alternator on my 1989 Jimmy. It would squeal a bit, and got REALLY hot even after idling for just a couple of minutes. I've always wondered if my Yukon alternator would go out in a similar fashion, or if I'd notice the voltage regulator was toast (jumping voltage).

from my reading , yes....i hope so...I have a 03 yukon, you need calipers and brackets, rotor and pads

I've certainly read success stories regarding that upgrade.

Got my 7" and 21" led light bars on the mail, took them apart and painted all the hardware black. Plan on sealing them up with silicone and figuring out the mounting tomorrow.

Haven't posted in while. Life happened. ANYWAY, lowered her 2/3, ordered wheels, new shocks, and other small things.

Question: I found a back glass for an eacalade I would like to get for $300. Is that a good deal and has anyone had trouble with a body shop painting it your color?

Bilstein 5100s front and rear
Moog z71 springs
Rotor and pads front and rear
Oil pump
Oil pan gasket
Oil pressure sensor
Transmission tail shaft seal
Intake manifold gasket
Knock sensors and harness
Z71 fogs
Timing chain gasket

Well I actually did it last Saturday but, I put a new upper control arm on the driver side. Not a difficult job at all.
