What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

All washed and ready for the work week. Got to love Ceramic coating, simple wash and she looks just waxed View attachment 233390

Wow, she looks great Mike! You don't happen to have a Tech-2 or something similar do you??

What is a 1/8" spacer going to do, Allen?

Exactly what I was thinking. Or even a 1/4” one.

I got 1/4” for the rear to quit rubbing on the rear fender liners under articulation going into parking lots with the 305/50/20s.

the thing is, adding rear spacers widens the track width, which will effect the handling characteristics. So I got 1/8” ones for the front to not mess with the difference in track width too much. I don’t know about the SUVs but with the trucks the front ran about 1.5” wider than the rear, and I wanted to maintain most of that. With the 1/8” ones on front the 305s actually poke a little bit.

Love a garage that can hangar a 19 foot long truck!

My garage is 33'x25' [emoji7]

I get using 1/4" to get rid of a rub, but 1/8" to maintain track width? An 1/8"?! Who you kiddin?

Yep!

Only 3 major Class 7/8 truck manufacturers now.

Daimler has Freightliner, Western Star & Sterling (used to be Louisville and Ford before that)

Paccar has Kenworth and Peterbuilt

Volvo Has Volvo and Mack.

Edit: Forgot about International so 4

When I was in the business, Internationals were a maintenance nightmare. Even our church buses! And those 1990s Sterlings were worse! Volvo's had a unique rear suspension with a dog bone that was constantly breaking and wearing out bushings. Mack's were expensive but tough, Freightliner's were the Chevrolets of trucks and KWs the Cadillacs!

Those 1000 cubic inch Macks could pull a mountain!

I know I have posted these before but thought I would share with all the "Big Rig" talk going on...

My last Pete that I custom ordered... Had everything color matched... Grille surround, headlight buckets, fuel tanks, air cleaners, drop visor, door visors.


Here is a pic of her in front of the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY when I took my son there... he's a big Corvette fan...


And one at night showing the chicken lights off...


This one is just for fun... lol

Yeah, I call BS on the 1/8” spacer making a difference in tracking as well but if it floats your boat, more power to ya!

That’s a nice looking rig my friend. Always have appreciated the different ways guys have customized their trucks.

There is a truck stop near me, I-80 Truck Stop in Walcott, IA, that holds a truckers jamboree every year where folks bring their trucks and show them off.

It’s another one of those things that doesn’t make that much, if any difference for our application of heavy ass suvs, but the experience and knowledge gained will apply to camaros/vettes/other shit that does go fast (just like a titanium exhaust). The 1/8” up front did induce 1/8” of poke too so if nothing else I can claim to be a cool truck kid now.
I will be ordering a tig welder end of December.

Yes... I have been to "The World's Biggest Truckstop" before... pretty cool place... the Big Truck museum out back is pretty cool as well.
