Trying to understand what people are saying then I see this NBS, NNBS, etc nonsense and I get quite confused. Not newb friendly at all. Is there a listing of them all and what they might mean?

The correct nomenclature is gmt400, gmt800, gmt900, K2

 

Nbs means new body style

nbs was generally linked to gmt 800's, nnbs was linked to gmt 900's (07-13)

 

 

The problem is no one used them with any consistency. Which is why I agree with Ryan.

 

But this is probably as close to "official" as one can get:

 

OBS: 400-series trucks (1988-1998 for most models)

NBS: 800-series trucks (99-06, limited production in 2007)

NNBS: 900-series trucks (07-13, also 2014 HDs)

NNNBS: K2 trucks (2014+ 1500, 2015+ HD trucks)

 

 

It gets absurd which is why when speaking broadly about the generation of a truck, going by the platform code is easier/clearer.

Nnbs ranks among the stupidest ideas ever. New is new and always will be. So one could simply state I have a 2xxx truck with the new body style. Back in 07 if you called around for a part they would ask, "is it the new body style?" Not is the new,new body style.

What is the new style though? The issue is when someone says 2007 NBS you don't know whether they mean "new body style" or NBS as a designation. So 800 or 900 are a lot easier to say.

my favorite is when you call say safelite to get a windshield on an 07 they ask if it is a "classic model" as defined by the half circle speedometer.

K2 are the newest trucks

I never cared for that either because one might mean something else to someone else. When I was on GMFullSize everybody used those terms and it kind of got annoying. I just go K2, GMT900, 800, 400 and so on. Don't really talk about pre GMT400 much so can't really think of a name for them.

They were called "oldies, but goodies". LOL

 

The old '72 Chevys have always been my favorite body style.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
