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

That all seems easy enough, but very time consuming. I'm just gonna drop mine off at the shop 3 blocks away on Tuesday and pay them the $90 to do it

90 seems expensive, pretty sure I only paid $60 last time, I think it came out to 90 including a four tire balance.

This really depends on the shop and the geographic area. Around here we pay north of $100 for ours with a 6-month warranty. Then, again, it's a trusted indy shop, not a brand name franchise.

It's probably $60 for the front wheels. The additional $30 is for the four wheel alignment. You know they gotta align that rear axle!

That price also includes my emissions inspection, so the alignment is actually about $25 cheaper

Oh definitely, when I swapped the 14 bolt in, I went ahead and aligned it all myself, there's a lot of adjustment in that four link. Lol

Yeah, when it was all stock, I took it to Firestone and paid for their lifetime alignment Then did the front leveling kit and took it back to them, "they told me they weren't sure if they could do it, but they would try".
So after I put the Kings on, I took it to a shop that's been around for decades and they only have a few locations around locally, but a company I used to work for took all their vehicles to get tires and aligned there so I knew they did good work.
Funny enough, I told the guys I was literally heading straight to Arizona after that and wanted the tires rebalance and that was the part they were worried about, it's my 33s would fit in their balancing machine, but they knock that out too. The dude gave me the keys back and said you should be able to do 80 all day long nice and smooth. Lol

Lol. When I got the new tires installed on the 2001 last month the tire shop wanted to do a 4 wheel alignment for $129. I was like "it's a solid rear axle with no adjustment points, so I don't think it needs a 4 wheel alignment" and the guy was like "well the bushings could be worn and throw the rear alignment off". I told him if that's the case then replacement parts would have to be installed to correct it, no adjustments just bolt in and go

Has anyone used the Yukon brand rear differential cover on our rigs and does it clear the sway and track bars?

I'm looking at getting this nodular iron one to replace the stock cover basically only for it having a drain plug. I've seen others, but they are double the price.
