16' Escalade - Loss of power when shifted to 4wd??
I have a fairly new 16 Escalade ESV. and when it is shifted into 4WD, the suv looses a very noticeable amount of power,, I would say about a 40% reduction of power, and it also makes a low humming/groaning noise and i slight vibration when accelerating.. I have it at the Cadillac Dealership...- Tony

Couple new (to me) mods
For sure, your current wheels will have a more cushioned ride, but the 22"s will give you better cornering, and feel a bit more "car like".. And,, of course look way better..- Tony

"Service 4WD" - Master Thread
I am having an even worse problem with the 4 wheel drive system on my 16" Escalade.. When i switch it to 4WD, the suv loses power, makes a groaning noise, and shakes upon acceleration.. Then when i put it back into 2WD, it runs perfectly.. I guess a defective driveshaft? What a shame, if...- Tony

2017 Tahoe vs Suburban
If it was windy out, you got to remember that these suv's aren't all that aerodynamic, so what you might hear or feel on a very windy day on the freeway, you might not hear or feel on a day when the wind is calm... I noticed that on a recent 13 hr road trip from ny to Wisconsin,., When i was...- Tony

Michelin Premier LTX or Michelin Defender or Bridgestone Dueler????
Judging by the thick treads on the defenders, i would not doubt that they would last a long time and provide great grip on light snow,,but i still am hearing that they are a bit noisy, compared to the pirells that is,(Which is not saying that the Defenders will be a loud tire overall,,.. I... -

Michelin Premier LTX or Michelin Defender or Bridgestone Dueler????
I am leaning towards the Michelin Premier LTX's, but I am afraid that they will wear very prematurely, since the tread depth is so low, and they will be going on a heavy truck, so they might wear down super quick.. I like them for the quietness and the grip...I am also afraid they might not...
