So you need the running lights on and then also have to turn a separate switch on? Why not use a factory tilt switch that they used for the normal hood light so it comes on automatically when you open the hood? That’s what I did. The earlier years had this switch from the factory.

I just ordered a tilt switch to experiment with. Thanks for the reco!

Lol whoops. No, my bad. It just doesn’t go with the look I’ve created with my new design.

The lights were not working when I removed the OEM light. There was power to the box but no light.
Lol just messin with ya. The rest of my engine bay takes my eyes off the underside of the hood anyway. I would like to find a replacement for the insulation on the firewall though. I haven’t been able to find a new one so if anybody knows where to get one I’m all ears. Mine got hit with a pressure washer a time or two by somebody named I Don’t Know Who. Ok, it might have been me.

Since you seem to have a spare Esky delete panel... How much you want for it? :)
I’m actually going to hang onto it. In case I change my mind down the road. Sorry brother! What I’d really like to do, is put an Esky windshield in, and wire up the antenna properly! But I’m assuming the glass is crazy expensive. I do have a nice big bullseye in the windshield already, so…

Combined with the cam I have and the Performabuilt trans and the fact it’s lowered, it’s sweet. She moves and handles pretty good. Then with the Wilwood 16”/14” BBK it stops great too. :)

Had a few minutes to kill before work, so sipped some coffee and hey... Why not check fuel trims for giggles? (I always have this Zurich scanner in the console.)

For 208k miles... Runs great!
ST ranges between 1.6 max and -0.8 on both banks.

LT is holding 6.3 on Bank 1 and 3.9 on Bank 2.

@Pilot take your time. Remove all of the side panels. The ones in the trunk area had to he removed to I could drop it enough from the ceiling and turn it so I could get it out. I had watched a video about taking it out and seen where the guy was removing the dash to get at a harness connection since his harness came out with the headliner. Mine was taped to the roof though so the harness is still in there and didn't take the dash apart. A wire brush works good to get the bulk of the old glue off once you pull off the old fabric and backing. Then a Scotch Brite pad to clean up remaining stuff.

What Mark meant to say was: “I’m pretty tired of both the whipple, and the 6.0 under it. I’m sending it to @Sam Harris as a Christmas Gift. He’s paying shipping. Then, I’ll be installing an LT5, and probably a 10speed trans to go with it…”

What does the windshield have in it? I thought the Escalades ran their antennas forward, in the engine bay?

I’m pretty sure the Esky has an antenna in the windshield. Cannot confirm though..

We loaded up one of our Suburbans with books yesterday. Second row seats are out, third row seats are folded, and we pretty much covered every square inch of floor space with bags of books, and sometimes in double stacks. It is nice being reminded what our rugs are capable of, and this was just the 1500. It didn't even squat. We didn't have time to empty it yesterday, so my wife drove it to work, still loaded.
