    HELP!! 07 Escalade front shock absorbers with dampening connectors?

    Thank you so much! Now I get how it goes, I guess it's just now come down to figuring out which one has that damper system on it when I shop online. The right side has been replaced already so my drivers side is acting up. Time to get a new one. I just want to get the right one

    HELP!! 07 Escalade front shock absorbers with dampening connectors?

    I need to replace my front shock absorber drivers side. I see a connector on the top which I'm assuming is the dampening system. Part number 19353945. I keep looking online and can't find a shock absorber with that top electrical connector on it. My question is, is the dampening connector...

    Firewall rubber grommet locations? (Passenger side)07 Escalade

    hopefully a post like this isn't too common, if so I apologize in advance. But I'm looking to run a power wire for my subwoofer. My battery is on the passenger side against the firewall. Are there's any existing rubber grommets on the passenger side firewall to get through under the carpet? Or...

    Anyone ever snap a harmonic balancer bolt in crank??

    Yes a pickle indeed. I can get a quarter to a half turn on it either way then it tightens up..HARD! I put a penetrating oil on it but completely ignored it because at the point I was thinking "if it's not coming off it's doing its purpose" and left it go. But now that I need to replace the cam...

    Anyone ever snap a harmonic balancer bolt in crank??

    im in a pickle..replaced my oil pump. Put the balancer back on, hand threaded 3-4 threads and then torqued it to 240ft lbs with the old bolt like ALLDATA stated. Went on with about 60lbs or torque (including resistance of balancer being pushed on). Went to reverse the bolt out and I got about...

    HELP! Is my camshaft still good!? (Pictures)

    If I can let them take it and trade it in then fine. I owe 4,000 on it yet and at 118,000 even in poor condition it's still trade in value at 14,000. I might take that gamble

    HELP! Is my camshaft still good!? (Pictures)

    Let me ask you this, would it be okay to put new lifters in, cap it all up and find a new vehicle I want and just get rid of it? I didn't want to take it in the dealership sounding the way it did

    HELP! Is my camshaft still good!? (Pictures)

    Well the other issue I mentioned I wouldn't dive into is, when i went to put the Harmonic balancer on with the old bolt after replacing the bad oil pump...I went to take the old bolt out to put the new one in and I can't get the old bolt out..not even with a 600ft lb impact. Torqued it to 240...

    HELP! Is my camshaft still good!? (Pictures)

    :emotions122: I was told that I would be okay for the next 20k-30k before it starts tearing into the new lifter. I'm hoping it runs long enough for me to drive it into the dealership and dump it and get rid of it

    HELP! Is my camshaft still good!? (Pictures)

    I was replacing lifters in my 6.2 because of bad lifter noise from a previous oil pump failure. I found one of the rollers in the back with pitted spots all over it (pretty bad). Obviously I'm replacing all lifters. I rotated the cam and saw that there was some minor pitting on the top of the...

    Acetone/tranny fluid as a penetrating oil?

    anyone here use the mysterious 50/50 mixture of acetone and tranny fluid as a penetrating oil? Saw stats on a test showing it works very very well. I was hoping to use it to break loose my exhaust manifold bolts because one already snapped. So I'm hoping this helps.

    Diagnosing 6.2L top end ping/squeak (with video)

    When the pump failed it got towed to the dealership and then I got it back from the dealership a week later after they fixed the EBCM. Because that's what it was going for and the oil pump went the same day I went to take it to the dealership. Anyways, I guess they ran it once or twice with no...

    Diagnosing 6.2L top end ping/squeak (with video)

    The pump failed because the valve in the pump was 90% stuck shut. I had to take screwdriver and slightly pry on it to break it free again. Doing the oil pump was the biggest job for me I've done. I don't know how hard it is to do the valves and cam..any videos or instructions? I wouldn't mind...

    Diagnosing 6.2L top end ping/squeak (with video)

    Are the afm lifters towards the back? Because it sounds like it's coming from the back side of the top end, on the passenger side mostly. I'm hoping nothing messes up the pump I just replaced :banghead:
