Yesterday I got new tires. Today I added 1.25inch spacers until I can get new wheels. Gives it a more aggressive look and keeps my new tires from rubbing on my new upper control arms. So now it's has the 3.5" lift up front. 3" in the back. 33" tires.

Jump started my truck yesterday. Sat for 2 weeks and clicked when I hit the ignition. Started right up with a jump and no problems the rest of the day. I’m just gonna replace the battery since I have no idea of its age and will also do the +/- cables and grounds since at 105k they’re due if they haven’t been done. Not sure how to inspect these cables for inside corrosion.

other than a ohm test or voltage drop test there isn't much else unless they just look funky or are bulging somewhere

On my Quick Look see during the jump, nothing stood out. I’ll give them a thorough inspection but will probably replace them with the battery for peace of mind.
the starter cable is the one that usually has the most issue's because it get's burnt right at the connection to the starter due to not enough insulation. replaced mine already it was looking pretty cooked right there, others have had it start touching on the heatshield and causing electrical problems

I had my superchips programmer out yesterday to tweak some settings. it was 87 outside. After the tweaking, the outside temp said 32. I check, nope it didn’t flip settings to C.

Got home and parked it overnight. This morning it read correctly. Hmmm, weird.

the outside temp sensor can do that if it is reset, after 5-10 minutes of driving at 55mph it should self correct.

Put Armoral on all the doors, dash, doors panels, and hatch rubber to keep it fresh. Sprayed some ceramic spray on the hood to prepare for summer. I put trim coat on the side steps, lower front bumper, & rear bumper. Jay Leno conditioner is awesome for the leather. My 2018 Escalade looks like it left the showroom. The k2xx has much better quality the previous generation. If you keep on top of it you can keep it for many years. I have 107k now and my truck doesn’t have a spec of rust. I do live in Texas.

4 new tires and an alignment. I know there are some Michelin Man nut swingers on here but you need to take a look at Mastercraft Courser Quest Plus. I have a set on my truck and they are great so far. Made by Cooper Tires.
Replaced the Bridgestone tires that were on our Denali XL. I think Bridgestone's quality has gone down as we had a set on our 2008 Escalade and loved them. But this set wore faster and had a vibration at 75mph +.

Well chit, the 3rd brake light has failed. I had noticed condensation inside the lens recently. It did pass annual inspection a couple of weeks ago.

Looks like the GM part is 22783104.

the ANC shouldn't stop the sub from working, all it would do is cause some undesirable feedback, kind of like having a mic to close to a speaker and instead of a high pitch squeal you would get a rumble. double check your work.

Well I ripped apart my interior and installed my Kicker sub. Followed every single instruction exactly.
Turned on some music and the sub itself makes no sound..
I'm unsure if it's because I need to go to the dealer and have them eliminate the ANC (active noise cancelation) through a reprogram. I know the installation manual says to do that. But I figured it would still work somewhat before having that done and then just be optimized after that was disabled.

Fingers crossed that all I need is the quick trip to the dealer and to pay $50 for them to reprogram in order to get this sub to function..

(pic of things torn apart for your enjoyment)

I took it all apart again and reattached where I spliced and then crimped on the sub wires this time. (Terrible instructions at that part from Kicker)
Working well now, definitely added some thump to it like I was looking for! Happy with it now.
