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

[Doubeleive]

Whats the consensus on a decent set of rotors and pads for these? I’m not putting Wilwoods on this truck unfortunately; I’m spoiled with them on both my others though. Actually looking to go semi-budget. I have heard Power Stop is fairly decent. Looking at Rock Auto, there’s a ton of choices from cheap to ridiculous. I am considering their semi-coated SC2070 for about $310 shipped or maybe their “geomet” fully coated CRK2070 for about $30 more, not sure if there’s much difference. Not looking to spend much more than that. These prices are for all 4 corners.

for the front I have been pretty happy with these from rock auto, they are slotted and drilled and drilled on the hat as well they fit 07-19 even though they only market them for the 2010 ppv

or for around $650-700 a set the Baer erradispeed
they come with a bracket that relocates the stock caliper, because the rotors are larger. for me it was the best bang for the buck. the rotors are pretty thick I have had these turned twice already and plenty left for more turns if needed. work with standard pads of choosing

and of course the 21+ calipers and rotors are the thing now as well, my money was already put in the baer's and they will still last me a good while

Your idea of semi-budget and mine must be different. I’ll most likely sell this truck after I fix my 02.Those are about twice the money I’m looking at. I just don’t want to waste my time on junk but I don’t want to spend money I’ll never get back, and I’m not going to do any mods. I figure as long as I keep in the middle of the line on parts I’ll come out OK on this truck. I bought it for a good enough price that when it comes time to sell, I should make a little money as long as I don’t spend too much on it. Thanks for the suggestions though. Although I do like driving it, more so the more I fix it up. It might end up too hard for me to let go of but in that case I would most likely do a LOT to it, if you know me. I keep tossing around the idea of selling my Silverado and building or buying a race boat just to fu*k around with a few days a year, so who knows. Too many choices on what’s next. First I gotta beat this damn cancer I guess but the doctors say I’m doing good at that.

Well that's why I noted the power stop also I have had those on the Silverado for like 4+ years already put some on the wife's suburban as well, seem to be good rotors. I just wanted a little extra in the Denali, another member sold me the front baers for $350 probably about 4 years ago. I liked them so I bought the rear to match. I figured there cheaper than wilwoods lol

I have always had good luck with PowerStop brakes along with R1 Concepts rotors and pads.
I've used PowerStop pads and rotors on numerous cars and I have been using R1 Concepts pads and rotors since around 2003 with zero issues and good performance.

Thanks for the replies guys. I’ll probably just go with Power Stop’s middle-of-the-line set. Their Extreme Performance are their top-of-the-line set and would run me almost $400 just for all 4 rotors. Yes of course less than Wilwoods ( pads alone for those are $400 or more last time I checked ouch) but like I said, I’m going semi budget so not going for any of the most expensive lines nor for any unknown or budget meaning cheapest either. The other ones I like are the Raybestos Element 3 for around the same price. I’ll decide in a week or so, that’s when I plan on ordering them. There’s an incredible difference in pricing for my truck, from $150- $1500 total for all 4 corners not even counting going with larger front rotors or big brake kits all the way around where you’re talking $4000 or more. Crazy.

Removed the dash so I can hot staple the cracks. So traumatic I swear.

Did you unbolt the steering column?

 

[89Suburban]

Installed the Pioneer 3050NEX and Arnott rear shocks. Everything is working correctly after some re-do on a couple things. Crutchfield helped me with getting the amp to turn on and I had a corroded connector where the right rear spoofing resistor plugged in. The old compressor still works! Still have to install the fender liners but I’m waiting a couple days until I’m sure that connector is GTG. Two wins in one day! I did unknowingly unplug that connector for stabilitrack/ traction control that everyone does when replacing the right rear shock. Figured it out instantly thanks to the forum. I had read about it so I knew where to look. So weird that I can’t unplug those things when I’m trying to but somehow that one popped off inadvertently.

Are you satisfied with that type of volume control?

Are you satisfied with that type of volume control?

I always use the steering wheel controls for volume/skip to the next song. I like that because if you hold the down button nor a few seconds it automatically mutes. Also when you hit the up or down the screen shows both volume for the music plus volume for the navigation. I can use the touch screen to switch between the two. They go up and down in tandem but it’s nice to be able to change the voice prompt level once in awhile. But the volume on the stereo works fine too. I don’t like a knob distracting from the look of a nice clean screen.
