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

Replaced front and rear sway-bar bushings... Very fun.

Started the job a few days ago, and of course one of the bolts broke. Broke three drill bits, bought an extractor set that didn't work, burned up for or five more Harbor Freight drill bits, and generally did not enjoy myself. After four hours of drilling and drilling, I tapped the hole and finished the front.

I had spare M10 - 1.5 bolts, and ground a slit on one of them to make an ad-hoc tap because (surprise) my fantastic Harbor Freight metric tap and die set wasn't actually the correct size for this hole.

The rear took 10 minutes because none of the bolts snapped.

I wish I had ordered the end-links, but I'll probably get to those some other time; they didn't look bad, or feels loose. The bushings were pretty wallered out.

Took out the G80 locker and put an Eaton TrueTrac in its place. Had a glitch, but i think all is well. I posted about it over here if someone wants to put in an opinion. I think i need the group's input.

Diff swap and a traction control issue?

This weekend i took the G80 locker out from under my 2011 Tahoe LT 4x4! Hooray no more gov-bomb! Now it has an Eaton TrueTrac. I hit one snag. When I did my test startup and spin the wheels with the rear end still up on jackstands, I suddenly had a Traction Control light and the system hit...

Today i finally made time to crawl around my LST. Still has the original shocks so those will be replaced soon.


Having all fluids/filters replaced and checked for any anomalies. Any suggestions that I should add for my mechanic?
Looks like the alternator and main belt has been replaced pretty recently. Was thinking about installing the upgraded cold air intake. I think it is made by Spector(?) But I'm not sure what the plug connector is thats attached to the air hose. I dont remember seeing that connection on the Spector intake anywhere.

Anyway, my A/C went out yesterday and I am not sure how much of my build is about to be reallocated. This Alabama heat and humidity is no joke if you've never been here in late July. Im sweating like a duck in a hail storm. I just seen a squirrel soaking his nuts in Gatorade.

My plan next weekend is to paint my rims for now. High gloss black is what I'm going with.

Hope you all are having a good weekend!

That would be your MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor).

"Upgraded cold air intake?"

Leveled front 2” today, now it’s 37.5 all around.

While at it, was also thinking to tackle the exhaust leak on manifold flange connection that i tried to fix with different gaskets, but i think pipe itself is bent.
So i finally covered it with exhaust sealer/putty veeeery thoroughly.

And i had last exhaust manifold bolt broken since forever, pinned with dorman clamp, not leaking.
But i recently got welder and decided to try and get it out, after like 10 welded nuts i gave up.
It’s far away and I can’t drill it.
Decided that one day, when I’m deep down in the guts, head will come off and that little **** will get drilled out.

Did you do anything with the Autolevel sensor rods with the lift? Do you have a Tech2? If so, you can do an Autolevel sensor relearn/reset with it.
