still I would rather spend $75 on a used oem, the good thing is there are tons of used ones out there 07-14
at the local yard they are $37.99, $95 complete with hub & knuckle, another is listed as 4X4 $52
30 days exchange, 1yr warranty optional with +30% added on top of listed part price
I just don't trust new parts anymore.
if it's repairable it's worth twice the effort to keep the well seasoned but in going shape part in place.

Come on, it'll be fun!
Tell you what. I bought a new axle, but I will also buy a boot, repair the old one on the bench, and keep it in my inventory.

PS cooler, pressure hose, return hose, both seals. The crimp fitting on the pressure hose was looking pretty nasty, not going to chance anything before the summer road trips. All OE, and will likely replace the pump in the near future as well.

Since my Wilwoods were off my ‘15 Yukon XL Denali and have been sitting in the garage I decided let’s go ahead and disassemble these, rebuild them with new piston seals and hardware before throwing them on the ‘13 Escalade ESV.
Once we got that far I decided let’s change the color on them since they’re all a part in pieces. Red calipers are everywhere…
It was quite a challenge to find and source high temp vinyl “wilwood” “4 PISTON” and “6 PISTON” decals. Had to be high-temp vinyl cause the color was powder coated on, then high-temp vinyl decals applied, and a coat of clear powder coat over the decals. They turned out great.
The color is different, admittedly still growing on me. They have an awesome metallic that really pops in the sun.

Installed a battery tender today on the 2500; as many know I bought an XT5 a few months ago and have been putting miles on it instead of the beast.
Went with a Deltran Battery Tender Junior which allows me to wire it directly onto the battery, and can unplug just like the block heater. Based on everything I've read it's probably not a great idea to remote start while it's attached so I have the hood propped open to keep me from making that mistake.
The 2500 gets out 1 or 2 times a month unless we are on a road trip and it's just not enough to keep the battery charged anymore.
