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

Well, I FINALLY replaced all the steering wheel switches this morning......
Kudos to the parts website 1Aauto & their videos!!

Had my wife take pictures of it.

I didn't think they put the Nivomat's on the gmt900's but if they are the rear shocks are much larger looking than normal and they are expensive.

Nivomat shocks - totally worn out @100k miles (G65 / ZW7)

I had to replace my rear shocks, at first i thought the sluggish suspension is normal by American cars, but later on, i had the feeling this isn't normal. So i ordered from rockauto a pair of coil springs (Moog 81071) and two new nivomat shock absorbers (ACdelco 580-354). Let me tell you, what...

I have nivomats..... They are configured within the shock it's self.
( Why they are pricey)

Can I just put regular shocks on it instead??

It's been done.... I am sure there are threads to show how...
it may require a bit more than 2 bolts to R&R a shock.... maybe coil springs too?
Someone will chime in.....

I just ordered a 2" rear drop kit so the springs are getting swapped out anyway.

@89Suburban That's what I understand. The Nivomats were only on the GMT800s. You don't have RPO code G65, do you?

Guys, I am shopping for rear shocks and I see many notes about a ZW7 code. I do have that code on my RPO label. But I just have regular looking shocks. I looked up that code and it says premium ride with Nivomat self leveling?? I see no trace of that under my truck. No hoses or pump or anything. Does that mean the PO removed all that stuff???

To be clear, the Nivomats are self-contained and do not have wires, hoses, or other connections (other than the physical mounts). Your '07 doesn't have Nivomats.

Here is my RPO. SO I can just order regular shocks even though I have that code on it?

From what I gather ZW7 does not. Necessarily mean you have Nivromat shocks. This was covered elswhere and confirmed by 915_tahoe. James has the right info.
