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

[Charlie207]

Hemmed and hawwed for a week, but ended up ordering two front 5100s, when I should have just done it a while ago.

IIRC, when I installed the RC leveling kit a while ago one of the front struts wouldn't come out. Even with the three top bolts undone it acted like it was glued into the frame. Should probably start soaking it all now.

Back in April my lower shift cable failed. The first attempt at repair was a failure. I tried part# 14104 link bushing by Dorman. Do NOT use those.
The second attempt worked, using Dorman #14073 with a snap ring and washers (spacers) I picked up from Home Depot. After 6 months it started to feel like that plastic was getting weak and might fail.

I went ahead and bought a lower shift cable from rock auto and installed it. It was an easy install. There are a couple videos on YT that are pretty good and several that are not.




Second fix. This was before I decided to put some spacers between the cable loop and the snap ring. I felt the gap would create problems.


Final fix:



For some reason my cowl didn't have a weather strip / gasket when I bought the vehicle. I pulled one from a yard and finally got around to installing it

I used this one and a washer plus a cotter pin it's been fine for over 3 years now

Yeah I remember you helping me when I posted the issue back in April. I'm glad its working well for you.

I opted for an oem cable because the original cable lasted 15 years and I had some store credit at rock auto.
